The Dramatic Value of
The Odd Couple® Seminar

In these two days of bottom-line, nothing-held-back, tell-it-like-it-really-is information from two giants in the professional speaking and consulting worlds...

You will learn:
- Latest ideas in marketing and strategy
- Who your REAL buyer is
- How to attract and appeal to each economic buyer
- What marketing collateral you need
- How yours compares to the ideal
- Web strategies that lead to unlimited prospects
- How technology can position you ahead of the crowd.

The June 2010 Odd Couple® Seminar will provide a combination of role-playing, simulated visits, simulated telephone calls, case studies, the opportunity to replicate your toughest marketing challenges, and "hot seat" experiences so that the key first impression will be familiar and comfortable when you're actually with that important prospect. Based extensively on Fripp's coaching work and Alan's simulations with major clients and senior level executives, participants will benefit from having "been there and done that."

Marketing Materials

Full group discussion of current marketing and collateral materials for more dramatic impact.

Learn the best marketing techniques, and philosophies, that keep Fripp and Alan solidly booked with overflow business no matter what the economy is doing.

Many of these ideas you can immediately implement.

Websites, Social Media & Technology

How to use technology to your advantage.

Diversifying Your Professional Portfolio

An offering of 15 allied business opportunities to consider for the diversification of your income. We guarantee that at least four or five will make sense for you, and perhaps even most of them.

Creating Passive Income

It's never too early (or too late) to establish avenues of passive income. We'll present a plan for how to establish your "earn while you sleep" annuities, how to keep them fresh with minimal time investment, and how to use them to create equity for the future.

Building Your Brand

Specific work on the three fundamentals of dynamic brand impact: formulation, nurturing, and brand equity. If you have a brand, enlarge, expand, and/or add to it. If you don't, create one while you're with us. (One speaker and coach of unacceptable behavior among senior executives became "The Lion Tamer" and immediately gained radio interviews.)

Publicizing Your Story

Use the stories that define your life and your message, not solely on the platform, but with the media to build recognition, marketing, and celebrity. Treat the media as your primary audience.

If you are a first time attendee, we can cover some of the content from earlier Odd Couple Seminars. If you are a repeat graduate, you know there is always new content, or an updated approach to everything that is said.
