This same exact material was delivered live at the first Professional Speaking Bootcamp in suburban Philadelphia July 19-21, 2005. Participants had this to say about that experience:
Publishing, speaking, consulting, training, platform skills, setting and getting higher fees, proposals, selling, marketing, publicity... it's ALL in here in one amazing, clear, and well-organized package. I'm so glad I invested in this experience! -- Cheryl Rice, CPCC, Full Potential Consulting |
Any ONE of the four dozen strategies, tools, techniques, and resources David provided would be worth the price of admission. I can't count the number of A-ha! Moments I've had over the past three days. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! -- Ginny McGinnis, Catholic Leadership Institute |
David, working with you was exactly what I needed! As you know, I am eager to keep applying all your tools, techniques, resources, etc. I'm now determined to keep all this stuff moving forward. Working with you really helped me get my business to the next level -- making it more web-based, more passive income, more product-oriented, more money for less work (eventually), with a much broader geographic reach, and a bigger/better reputation. -- Ford R. Myers, author of The Ultimate Career Guide |
These participants in the first Professional Speaking Bootcamp each paid $1,550 for the program. This may seem like a lot of money until you look at the outcomes of your having taken this program:
• |
Raise your speaking, consulting, or training fees by $1,550 and your next speaking engagement has paid your fee. (You’ll learn exactly how!) |
• |
Don’t pay a PR professional one month’s typical fees ($1,500-$5,000+) and be featured in your industry’s leading publication or in general interest business periodicals like The New York Times, Business 2.0, and Fast Company. (You’ll learn exactly how!) |
• |
Attract just 10% more speaking, seminar, or consulting business or retain 10% more of your existing clients for repeat business, and easily put another $5,000-$20,000 in the bank. (You’ll learn exactly how!) |
• |
Supplement your professional income with occasional speaking, training, consulting, or coaching assignments and add $15,000-$50,000 to your annual income in addition to your regular salary. (You’ll learn exactly how!) |
• |
Create, publish, and sell high-value information products in book, CD, or Special Report format. Your first 15-20 sales will more than cover your fee. (Yes... you’ll learn exactly how!) |
|
You won't pay $1,550 but you'll get EVERYTHING in a self-study format - every strategy, tip, handout, template, & tool PLUS audio companion mp3's for only $497. |
David's program was like a complete A-Z encyclopedia of what it takes to succeed. The ideas presented to me over the last three days will at least double, if not triple my earning potential, and eliminate years of fumbling, guesswork, and frustration. This bootcamp takes years off the learning curve. -- Joe Carr, Crocodile Catering |
