Client Testimonials

After using the Perception Analyzer to energize their events, our clients have much to say.

THANK YOU for pulling together the XTREME CHALLENGE Trivia Game. It was a big hit. The founder of this event specifically mentioned to me that this was the best Athlete activity that we've come up with in the 5 years that we've been planning this event.  The whole program from graphics to sound to question formats was professional and high quality!

Thank you again and we will be telling everyone about you, your company and the success we've had using you for Nike Cross Nationals (NXN).

It was nice to find a supplier who was capable of designing and delivering a full-blown market research study, but who was willing to work with us in providing something that was more entertaining than data-driven.  We wanted to use our own material coupled with Dialsmith's guidance, expertise and their Perception Analyzers.  As a result, we were able to deliver "fun and different" type of presentation for our audience.  Eric seemed to know exactly how involved we wanted him to be.  We didn't feel pressure to expand our research at this event, and feel Dialsmith will provide us with exactly what we need at any future events, no matter how involved we need them to be.

Thanks again, for all your help in creating a successful event.

At a recent conference, Management Alternatives' associates had an opportunity to work with Eric Alzuhn from Dialsmith and their Perception Analyzer tool.  Not only were we impressed with the ability to utilize the tool easily and quickly (during the presentation / entering audience submitted queries) but the acceptance by the attendees as a value-added option to our discussion was rewarding.

Eric was easy to work with and asked many questions to make sure he understood our needs. He was generous with him time and always responded in a timely manner. He made himself available for face to face meetings prior to the project to walk through the entire process. He is punctual and professional at all times throughout our project.

As part of our 50th anniversary celebration, AARP teamed up with iVillage to create the dynamically interactive town forum - "How She Will Decide" - on February 1, 2008, at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale, California. Hundreds of women from all walks of life were invited to express their opinions and be engaged by an esteemed panel and to that end, each of the 400 women was given a Perception Analyzer dial as they arrived and took their seats.

The goal of our event was to engage the audience and involve them in a two-way conversation to discuss the issues and using the Perception Analyzer did just that. Such involvement became the focal point of the event as audience opinions were instantly generated and displayed on large projection screens.

The process from the time Dialsmith became involved with the event until the curtains were drawn was extremely hassle-free and required little of my time or direction. I was able to focus on what I needed to focus on and the Dialsmith team took care of the rest. It was as smooth as could be!

AARP has used similar devices in the past, but the Perception Analyzer is as compact and robust of a tool available in the market today. It's an all-in-one device that's very user-friendly. I know we will have many needs in which we will use the Perception Analyzer in the future and I certainly am willing to recommend it to others.

I just want to express my sincere gratitude for the fantastic work you did for me. I hosted an approximately 100-person workshop at a national convention and wanted to make the session interactive, so I invited Dialsmith to facilitate the Perception Analyzer dial technology to incorporate audience statistics into a panel discussion.

Despite my numerous requests to customize formatting and methodology, your team accommodated at every turn and helped our event come through with flying colors. Following the conference I have received numerous comments on the value of the workshop and amazement on how engaged the audience was.

Without the Perception Analyzer, my workshop would have been lost in a sea of lectures; with them we made a number of meaningful connections. Thanks for all your great work.

Thank you so much for helping the National Business Traveler's Association (NBTA) Groups & Meetings Committee with our Hot Topics Benchmarking. We were able to ask key industry questions and obtain immediate results using the Perception Analyzer.

Not only did NBTA benefit by having immediate results to drive conversation, but the audience appreciated the instantaneous results. NBTA Groups & Meetings Committee will be able to use the information obtained to steer our future projects. Thank you again!

At the Polynesian Cultural Center, we strive for guest satisfaction above all. Using the Perception Analyzer from Dialsmith has allowed us to pinpoint the very moments of dissatisfaction [in our cultural presentations] and improve them. We could not have improved our product to the extent that we did without this technology. Working with the company has always been great; the representatives are always ready and willing to help with anything from training to technology integration to presentations. It has been a pleasure to work with them. They are a great company with a great product.
