Now Trending: SMU - START MYTH UNCOVERED Learn more: www.manujaggarwal.com MY STORY I grew up in a small town. A friendly child, my home was troubled. I withdrew into my shell, becoming aloof and angry. At age 15, I started working in a factory. I worked 12 hours/day with only $2 as a daily salary. A YEAR’S SALARY In 1995, a new computer institute threw its doors open in my town. Tuition was greater than a year’s salary, but I scraped together funds for the first class where I found my passion: Computers and Programming. I met my wife there, and we fell madly in love. Our marriage was disapproved of! Ultimately I had to run away from home with only a suitcase full of clothes. After our marriage, we traveled to Canada and started a new life.

Need To Grow Sales, Get More Leads, And Increase Revenue? Tired of talking “theory” and “branding” without anyone wanting to take responsibility for real RESULTS (aka sales)? Then you’ve come to the right person. Hi, I’m James Smiley and for the past 17 years I’ve served some of the top Silicon Valley startups (including a 2010 IPO) and recently I’ve been recruited by some of the largest companies in the world (Facebook, Amazon, and AT&T) to help them with one thing…SALES GROWTH! I’ve been featured on ABC, CBS, Fox News, Yahoo Finance, and NBC as well as local media outlets such as MarketWatch, Silicon Valley Business Journal, The Miami Herald, and Wall Street Select. So who cares about that…those things come with results and I’m sure you only care about results if you’re still reading this. So what results have I gotten that pertain to your business: - $0 to $20M in revenue twice for two different companies (would this be helpful if we did this in your business too?) - Sold over $210M in corporate products before the age of 35 - Sold over $5.7M of corporate products through online sales funnels and webinars - Was #6 at TeleNav (top Silicon Valley SaaS company) which we IPO’d in 2010 - Led the country in sales for AT&T and Nextel in my 20’s Let’s work together and make your product sell too. Let’s get your product or solution to convert sales at the highest rate ever in your business…(would that be helpful if we did that together?). >> Would you like me to train your executive and sales team on my secret mind tricks to close high-ticket sales? Would it help your business if you could do that online and in-person? Let me show you the sales psychology secrets I’ve come up with that dominate sales online as well as in person. >> Do you need more distribution? My rolodex is one of the strongest in the country for technology distribution and includes access to executives at over 2000 wholesalers, 700 resellers, and 10,000+ independent sales agents. >> Would you like someone to help you and your team sell from stage? My first sales pitch from stage was in 2003 and I sold $14,000 (at 23 years old). Today I’ve been able to sell millions in total from stage so if you need that, let’s get you going there as well. Don’t spend another day playing around with your product or solution and wondering “if I only had someone to market it or sell it we’d be good”. You don’t have to do that anymore… Check out my site and let’s connect today. My consulting schedule is very tight but please reach out to me asap and let’s book some time together. My best, James www.JamesSmiley.Org PS: Obviously my rolodex can only be leveraged by a small group of business partnerships each year, so I always operate on a first come, first serve basis.

You know you have the best product on the market. However, if you don’t know how to talk about it effectively, you will always struggle to sell it. Clearly explaining to customers what you do and why they should buy from you is critical. Yet, this is something most B2B companies get completely wrong. Year after year, the highly-influential advisory firm SiriusDecisions has reported that the #1 inhibitor to B2B sales is the inability to clearly communicate value. Most companies either: 1. Say too much and confuse their customers 2. Don't say enough to convince customers to buy 3. Say the wrong things entirely If your busy, distracted customers have to work hard to understand what you do and why they should buy from you, they will simply ignore you. Your marketing efforts will continue to bleed money unless your customers can quickly: 1. Understand exactly what you offer, with absolutely no confusion 2. Desire your solution, because it’s extremely relevant to their needs 3. Trust that you are a credible provider of the best solution available The wrong words will cripple your business. The right words, in the right order, will open the door to sales and growth. Not sure where to start? I help B2B companies craft powerful marketing and sales copy that moves customers to action. “Micah understands the psychology of sales and most importantly, knows how to write sales copy so it is effective at getting the customer to buy! He is professional and efficient. He delivered high quality, high converting sales copy ahead of schedule. Plan to hire him again for future projects!” – Julia Elliott, Nature Advanced I specialize in: - Website & Ad Copy - White Papers & Case Studies - Email Campaigns - Sales Letters & Videos If you have a solid product or service, but struggle to sell it, I’d love to help you communicate your value clearly, unite your team around your new message, and transform your business.

Brian launched the Pearl Fund (www.thepearl.fund), the country's first opportunity zone venture capital fund. December 2019 Forbes ranked Brian and the Pearl Fund as one of the top 10 OZ funds in the country. The fund invests in early-stage high potential startups that are in or can be founded or relocated into opportunity zones, with a focus around NY, NJ, and PA. In addition, Brian is a leading force in creating what he calls the OZ Movement, sustained and diversified investment into OZ businesses (OZB), which he sees as core to achieving the ambition and promise of OZ, for both investor returns and social/economic impact. To this end, he partners with entrepreneurs and fund managers across the country to launch and run OZB funds (www.ozb.fund), each with its own specific geographic and industry focus and its own Managing Partner. Brian is a noted writer and sought-after advisor and speaker on OZB. Brian's OZB leadership stems from his unique background as a repeat entrepreneur himself and from a decade working in global economic development. His expertise is entrepreneurship in all its forms. Brian has been part of the founding team of a number of startups; two went public, two were acquired and one was sold via an MBO. Brian has seen firsthand how entrepreneurship drives social and economic development in disadvantaged communities. For a decade, he selected, advised, and supported thousands of promising entrepreneurs in Africa, Asia, and Central/South America via NGOs including Technoserve, and as the entrepreneurship expert for Goldman Sachs' 10,000 Women Initiative. Additionally, Brian has been an advisor to Ivy League faculty on how to convert their inventions into viable businesses, and an intrapreneur in several global organizations. Brian is an active member of the Academic Venture Exchange, a collaboration between the technology transfer offices at Ivy League universities and experienced entrepreneurs.
