Today we’d like to introduce you to Dave Dee.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
From Struggling Magician To World Class Speaker, Group Selling Expert & Consultant. I used to be a struggling entertainer, a magician and mentalist (mind reader) to be precise. I was only doing three shows a month and was deeply in debt. Then I discovered the power of marketing and my business exploded. In less than 90-days, I went from doing three shows to averaging over 25 shows. In less than a year, I had paid off all my debt, bought a new car and a new home. Best of all my wife quit her job and become a stay at home mom. It was an amazing turnaround.
Because of this success, I was asked by my mentor, Dan Kennedy, to speak at one his seminar for entrepreneurs to teach people how I quickly changed my life. The one caveat was that I needed to sell a product at the end of my presentation. “No, problemo,” I thought. I figured if I just taught good stuff, people would buy what I was selling.
Boy, was I wrong. I BOMBED. I’m Talking A Miserable, Humiliating Failure.
While other speakers were selling $50,000-$100,000 worth of their products or services. I practically sold nothing. When I asked people to buy, NOTHING HAPPENED. It was excruciating embarrassing, disheartening and a huge blow to my ego. To make matters worse, I disappointed my mentor. I vowed then and there to master the art of creating and delivering presentations that sell. I knew this would be put me in a position of power and control because I could create huge cash flow surges and windfall profits on demand. I also knew, once I got good at this, I could make a bigger impact on people’s lives than I could as just an entertainer.
I Did What The Most Successful People Do… I invested in my self and my education. I spent the next few years and tens of thousands of dollars studying some of the most, most powerful and effective mass persuasion experts, speakers and pitchman on the planet. I also started incorporating techniques I had been using in my mentalism show.
Things I had learned from psychic readers and hypnotists such as cold reading (the art of getting inside someone’s mind) and hypnotic language patterns. After a lot of painful trial and error and awkwardly trying to sell on stage and in webinars, things started to click. My results, slowly but steadily improved. My confidence began to grow as did my bank account. Then I Got The Call. I was invited to speak at the same seminar I had bombed at years before. This time though, I wasn’t going to be on the main stage. (It’s tough to get a slot on the main stage after you don’t produce results.) I was scheduled in a small “breakout” session. I was determined to crush it, regardless of the circumstances.
With my newfound sales presentation”powers”, I created a literal buying frenzy- a stampede of people running to the back of the room, credit cards in hand, to buy the marketing program I was selling. When the dust settled, I had sold over $300,000 worth of a product in just 75-minutes and ended up being the top-seller at the entire event.
Since then, I’ve refined my process into a bullet-proof system for crafting and delivering presentations that sell. The results amaze even me.
I created a webinar that generated, $1.5 million dollars in sales, running on autopilot over a two-year period. My live presentations, some in-person, others broadcast live over the Internet have produced sales of $292,356.36, $125,000, $220,048. It is rare for me to not sell over six-figures of products or services every time I speak. My best was $570,000 from a 40-minute presentation.
I not telling you this stuff to brag. The truth is I am only good at a handful of things and outside of those things I’m very lame. (Ask my wife Karen how I am at fixing things around the house!) But, I am truly excellent at creating presentations that sell and helping other people get good at it as well.
Here is what one of my students has to say:
