Rick Segel consistently delivers some of the highest rated keynotes, workshops and seminars amongst today’s leading presenters.  Over 83% of the organizations who hire Rick have had him return at least once and companies, such as Microsoft and Staples, have used Rick over 50 times.  

The reason why they hire Rick is because he is the perfect blend of street-smart marketing ideas and his use of humor, playful behavior and contagious enthusiasm. He is not only a crowd pleaser but a "difference maker" with the businesses and people he touches.  

Another reason to book Rick is his 25 years of hands-on experience as an active downtown retailer. Rick owned one of New England’s most successful independent specialty stores and his 13 books and over 500 published articles make a powerful combination. Then you add over 2,000 professional presentations and you have experience, expertise, professionalism and the entertainment element which will turn your meeting into an event.

When businesses are ready to go to the next level, Rick Segel is the one to take them there.  The reason for that is because of Rick’s extensive experience in evaluating, judging, and awarding some of the best businesses in America.   Rick Segel is the creator of the internationally recognized RAMAE Awards -- the Retail Association of Massachusetts Awards of Excellence Program.  Over the past 14 years, the RAMAEs have presented 87 awards to the most innovative retailers in the state and have generated some of the most creative ideas that are currently being used by retailers around the world.  Rick has consulted on or served as master of ceremonies for eight of the awards programs.
