New York State DMOs
In September 2017 Sally Berry, proprietor of sallydavisberry.com, gave an exceptional presentation to the New York State Destination Marketing Organizations on China Readiness and WeChat. Sally provided CEOs, Directors of Sales and Marketing Managers from DMOs across New York state with valuable insights into the China marketplace and taught an interactive session on WeChat. By the end of the sessions, we were conversing with each other and connecting with Chinese operators via WeChat. Sarah Foster, Oneida County NY DOS, was able to use the WeChat platform within a few days of the workshop during a sales mission in California to connect with Chinese operators. She reported that it made a tremendous difference in the level of credibility and respect experienced during appointments.

RTO Summits – North American Journeys
The NAJ Group has known Sally Berry for the past eight years through her work promoting Corning Museum of Glass to the tour and travel industry.
What has impressed me about her was the insights and perspective she brought through her experience as a DMO, a receptive tour operator and now, as an attraction.
She is one of those rare professionals who is always helping colleagues by freely sharing her accumulated wisdom with them as well as sales advice.
For the past eight years, she’s been a regular presenter at our RTO Summits due in part to the respect she has generated within the industry and the fact that she has evolved into an industry thought leader. She has consistently been one of the top three rated presenters who is conversant on a number of topics and has her pulse on the trends that are shaping the market.
I would definitely recommend her as a speaker.

What a pro! The WeChat webinar for Travel South USA partners was a huge hit – thank you, Sally, for patiently walking thru how to use WeChat and even more importantly, taking the time to explain in “real world” language, why it is important to every tourism professional to understand and use this powerful communication tool. What we Chat is not optional in the Chinese relationship landscape, and we appreciate your savvy explanations and “translations.” The Webinar format worked even better than I had hoped. 你太好啦! nǐ tài hǎo la! – You’re the Best!

Tourism Trends conference – Dutchess County, NY
Dear Sally,
Thank you so much for your informative presentations at our Tourism Trends Conference. I overheard many positive comments afterward and am excited to have our partners take advantage of their new found knowledge on WeChat and being ‘China ready’. Mary Kay, our whole staff and I were so pleased to have you speak to our area tourism professionals.
Wishing you all the best,
Melaine Rottkamp
Vice President, Dutchess Tourism
Sally was recruited as a speaker for our Summer Sales retreat. Her topic " The 80/20
rule for Tourism professionals" was presented to the suppliers in attendance. While
I was not able to attend her presentation, multiple attendees came up to me
afterward and praised Sally's session. They said they had learned a lot and had
great takeaways. Her handouts proved useful and attendees were happy to have a tool
to take back to the office.
I would easily recommend Sally as a speaker at a tourism event.

Sally makes her seminars comfortable, & fun. She doesn’t speak at you. Because of that, out of all the seminars I’ve attended, I’ve learned the most from her. She taught me the set up of my WeChat account, how to use it, be active on it, & most important, how to be comfortable asking friends, tour operators, & colleagues to connect with me on it.
