What to Expect

Typical Gig Duration: 60 - 120 minutes

Businesses and professionals today face the ugly reality that your products, services and talents are being lost in the mix of our daily information overload. In this environment the only way to stand out from the crowd is to be genuine, and to be a part of the conversation happening around your brand, or your industry. If you’re not a part of this fragmented dialogue, you’re doomed to be lost in the vast black hole of information.

Throughout my seminar Evolve or Die, participants learn to:

* Make their social media presence more personal

* Cultivate emotional ties with your passionate brand advocates that transcend transactions by acting with uncommon generosity

* Uncover new revenue streams and warm-up cold relationships by offering high quality content for your brand advocates to share on your behalf within their social tribes

* Close more deals by increasing your brands value to your brand advocates

Stage/Setup Requirements:
microphone
Projector for my powerpoint

Additional Notes:
If it's at all possible, I would love if the speaking engagement can be recorded.
