Call me to talk about

Copywriting

I've been writing sales copy for 10+ years. I'm a student of industry legends including Dan Kennedy, Gary Halpert, etc. Clients have hired me in the past to write copy for sales letters, opt-in pages, and even eBooks. I don't accept many copywriting projects these days, but I'm happy to take a look at yours and show you how to improve it. Sometimes, just a few simple tweaks can boost sales dramatically!

Sales & Networking

I've been actively studying, engaging in, and training others on sales for the past 10 years. My experience ranges from...

1) Before starting my company, I was a door-to-door salesman for a cable tv & Internet company for two years. While it wasn't exactly fun, I learned a lot and became VERY good at it, earning a higher income as a door-to-door salesman than my "smart" friends were making at their fancy consulting jobs.

to...

2) selling 6 and 7 figure contracts to C-level executives who run companies that manage apartment communities. I figured out how to translate my knowledge of fast-paced B2C sales into success in the crazy world of high-ticket B2B sales with a 1-2 year sales cycle.

If you want to get better at sales, I can help you do so from several different angles...from perfecting your pitch or phone script to brainstorming creative ways to get your foot in the door with C-suite executives who have multiple gate keepers.

Customer Service and Retention

It's nearly always cheaper to keep your existing customers than to find new ones. I can help you "walk-through" the experience your customers are really having when they interact with you. Then, we'll identify a handful of powerful yet affordable ways to improve that experience. If you want to increase customer retention or improve customer satisfaction, book a call with me. We will uncover and banish the roadblocks (even the tiny ones!) that are holding you back and you'll leave our conversation with a clear action plan to make your customers love you.

Experiential Marketing

As humans, we generally make decisions based on emotion and then justify those decisions with logic. That's why experiential marketing is so powerful. My marketing stunts have included Clouded Leopard cubs and Penguins at trade show booths to a unique cowboy experience that resulted in a 7-figure acquisition. I've always done whatever it takes to create a strong positive experience for my clients, and I can help you do the same thing.

My other experience with Experiential Marketing includes:

1) A Gatsby-like party that realistically simulated the experience of being a celebrity for more than 200 guests. The experience included 40+ volunteers acting as fans, paparazzi, red carpet interviewers, security, etc.). A huge amount of local awareness was brought to human trafficking and we raised enough $ to save 110 girls from human trafficking...all in a single night. The entire party cost less than $11,000 and was 100% covered by sponsors.

2) An interactive trade show booth where attendees (mostly women) could get their photo taken on the red carpet with a recent star from The Bachelorette as he handed them a rose. A tag was tied to each rose featuring the company's marketing message and instructing the attendee to go to the company's Facebook page to see their photos. (This entire experience cost less than $2,000 to create)

3) A farmer's market display for my old-fashioned/gourmet ice pop company which used old barn wood (found for free), burlap, and rustic metal to create a nostalgic look. Our sales reps dressed in 20's era farmers clothing and were trained to cheerfully engage visitors with nostalgic stories and attractive descriptions about each of the flavors. The experience we created made people feel something meaningful, and the natural result was that we sold a LOT of ice pops.

Airbnb + Hospitality

As Founder of Epicurean Properties, I specialize in curating and managing more than a dozen luxury vacation rentals through Airbnb and other platforms. We the best hoteliers in the world, then strive to apply their principles to vacation rentals for our own guests. I'm happy to share the lessons I’ve learned on anything from writing Airbnb listings for higher conversion rates, pricing strategy to attract more bookings, finding properties that are ideal for short term rental, staging and furnishing your new vacation rental, and more.
