I would drop you a note with a couple of comments on Tennis Club Business newsletter. I love the
format. It is organized and quick to read. You can pick the articles
you like and read about the topic in depth.
You definitely
keep me 'connected' to the tennis business and to what is happening
at tennis facilities. I miss seeing many of my old friends in
the business. Tennis Club Business brings back some great memories.
Keep up the great work!" |

"If you
ask me who are those who love to PLAY tennis the most of anyone
I met, my top two would be Rosewall and Vilas. Now ask who loves
the business of tennis and that's equally easy. Rich Neher. He
makes it enjoyable, relevant and concise." |

"I look
forward to receiving Tennis
Club Business
every month, I enjoy reading the informative articles concerning
tennis, Rich has become known as "Mr. Tennis" - a very
appropriate nickname for him. Rich is a great writer, he's done
a tremendous job promoting the game of tennis." |
|
"I have
known Rich Neher for a decade. If you want a good engineer
don't call Rich. If need a great supply chain analyst
..
don't call Rich. But you need anything done in tennis
.call,
write, tweet or whatever form of communication you use to get
him involved. In tennis he is the goto of goto guys. When you
need one of those 1 + 1 = 10 types of scenarios
. call Rich.
His knowledge
of the game, the business and the So Cal marketplace is second
to none. His rolodex from pro players, to business icons, club
players is second to none. Rich is a spider web of relationships
and tennis connectivity. And he is a talented purveyor of that
connectivity.
In an industry
challenged to find rock stars
.Rich is our Jim Morrison." |

"Rich Neher
has worked efficiently in nearly every tennis arena. His intuitive
nature helps him generate unique opportunities for all tennis
organizations.
I have been impressed with Rich's ability to help tennis clubs
grow memberships. And his knowledge of marketing procedures bids
well for all tennis organizations attempting to make a giant
leap in their business." |
|
"I have
known Rich since the fall of 2007 during his employment with
Active. In his role at the Active company I interacted with him
through the USTA's League Program.
It became
quickly apparent that Rich was passionate about tennis and quickly
learned the complexities of the NTRP Rating Program. He excelled
in his customer service to players and coordinators and he is
very proficient in his written and verbal communication skills.
I found him consistent, dependable and accurate in whatever situation
in which we were interacting.
In addition,
his knowledge of social media through applications such as Facebook
and Twitter is unmatched. He knows how to use these applications
to "make things happen." |

"I have
had the great pleasure of knowing Rich Neher now for over ten
years. I met Rich when I was a member of the media in San Diego
and I was invited to take part in Richs genius creation,
The San Diego Tennis Network.
Rich is so
passionate about tennis and you can tell he just loves the game.
In a sport where love means nothing, I love the way Rich approaches
his tennis, he is simply, the best." |
|
"Rich,
with his company, which is under contract with the USTA, supervises
the important connections betwixt us and our members who want
to register for events, review their rankings and enter tennis
tournaments. And, I must say he does his job in an outstanding
manner; with ease and poise.
On a personal
note, I know Rich is neat in appearance, authoritative without
being overbearing and personable. Add these attributes to his
problem solving skills and technical competence and he presents
a very complete package." |

"Rich is
a great problem solver. He will look you in the eye and is an
honest, caring and wonderful person. I freely and adamantly am
a supporter of Rich. Finally, here's a gentleman who, if he only
has fifty percent of the skill set you are seeking will learn
the other fifty percent and make anyone's company a better place
than he found it." |
