Retention Engine, Bob Allard
Insulting presentation CEO talked about himself then fell asleep Ripoff

So I was given the task of finding a company to handle some compensation issues for our (to remain nameless) large firm headquartered in NYC. I enlisted Bob Allard from Retention Engine to come down to give a presentation and to hear more about our specific needs. He started (building rapport, I guess?) by telling us about how wonderfully talented he is because he sings with the Boston Symphony and how he just had a concert the night before and had to take an early shuttle. Our committee's answer was more or less "So what does this have to do with comp consulting, this meeting or anything our company cares about?" Bob finally got around to asking us about our needs, he took out a pen and started to take notes. His head dropped a bit and, since he was nodding a bit, it took us a few minutes to realize that he HAD FALLEN ASLEEP!!! We nudged him awake. He then gave a five minute excuse about how he had ADD and forgot to take his meds and that somethmes when the conversation was less than stimulating to him, he would fall asleep.

Apparently, this happens at his in laws all the time. The meeting ended very quickly, with Allard escorted to the door asking about follow-ups. The only follow up was that I got chewed out by my boss for bringing the goofball in to meet with the committee! I can only imagine how stimulating his siftware must be!
