Successful seminar selling and live marketing
How to plan and present a killer seminar that skyrockets your sales.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the internet is now the only way to promote your business, build your brand and to increase sales.

But for years before the World-Wide-Web came along, sales professionals were using seminars and workshops to get their business message across. And we all still know that seminars are an incredibly powerful tool to increase sales and to enhance the perception of your expertise and professional credibility.

But all too often, the thought of planning, preparing, arranging and presenting a seminar can be enough to persuade even the keenest of sales people and marketers to drop the idea.

Philip Calvert is the author of the acclaimed ‘Successful Seminar Selling (How to Books)’, and in this captivating and entertaining presentation he reveals his full-proof system for planning and presenting the perfect seminar. You’ll discover the inside secrets of seminar professionals around the world – including how to choose the right venue, the right (and wrong) days of the week for your seminar, how to ensure a full-house and how and when to charge for your events.

You’ll discover how to turn your seminar into a profitable income stream in its own right – and most importantly – how to present your business messages so that people remember and act upon your presentation.

Philip’s presentation is ideal as a conference keynote, breakout session or workshop at sales meetings and product launches. And it’s a ‘must see’ for senior executives, sales staff and anyone who makes presentations to customers and key accounts.


What you see is what you get
Advanced presentation skills for the 21st century business person.

Ranked as one of the scariest things you can ever do, public speaking is challenging but highly rewarding - whether it’s your wedding speech, speaking to staff or selling to key customers. Major contracts can be won or lost just on how a business proposal is presented – and how you present yourself tells audiences everything they would ever need to know about you, your service, your expertise, your trustworthiness and your credibility.

And typically, most audiences will only remember 10% of your presentation the following day! So it’s vital to get it right and to understand the golden rules of how to make an engaging, powerful and memorable presentation.

Philip Calvert has presented to thousands of business people at conferences and seminars and believes that your presentation skills are key to supporting your career, your sales message and your corporate brand. Philip’s own lively and colourful presentation reveals the secrets of world class professional speakers, with tips and tricks on how they get their messages across with clarity, confidence, credibility and conviction.

Philip’s presentation is ideal as a conference keynote, breakout session or workshop at sales meetings and product launches. And it’s a ‘must see’ for senior executives, sales staff and anyone who makes presentations to customers and key accounts.
