More…
This is a 5 and a half minute speech I gave as part of a Toastmasters demonstration at my Rotary Club last week. Here is what you can take away from it…
1. Public speaking can not only be effective for your business, but fun for you. You just need to practice, learn techniques and strategies, and gain “Stage Time” (courtesy of my pal, Darren LaCroix).
2. Humor is powerful if used correctly. Humor makes people laugh and listen. It evokes emotion and caring. And, it reduces anxiety and tension. You can effectively use humor in any business presentation, especially if it’s self-deprecating.
3. Record when you speak and put it on your You Tube channel. Get your message out to a broad audience so you can improve the condition of more people.
I hope you enjoy More…

Insuring Success Video Series tailored to help insurance pros THRIVE
ATTENTION! New Program Alert. Reading this here for the first time. I will be sending out promotions fast and furious this week. Be one of the first to register…
Receive a boost every week with another technique for Insuring Success, which will increase your income, decrease your labor intensity, enrich your life, and play a great electric guitar (probably a Stratocaster).
My incredible offer is this:
- I will send you every week (for 50 weeks) a five-minute video with a complete explanation of an immediately applicable technique for Insuring Success. I’ll send you an email of any graphic, document, process visual, or tattoo involved.
- You will send me $250. Now. See below.
That’s it. No “but wait” and no knives that cut through titanium.
For $5 a week (!!), a buck per working day (!!!) I’ll send you a device, approach, process, method, or secret decoder ring that will immediately serve to accelerate your income, increase your value to clients and agency, and decrease your time.
You’re spending $5 a week right now on minor, impulse buys, like digital music and caramel mochas. Bottled water costs more than this.
For the veteran, you’ll find it the best investment you’ve ever made – try it and find out. Most of your training has been internal or by the school of hard knocks. This will allow you the opportunity to stretch and grow as an insurance professional and add more value to your clients.
For the new person, heck, who else in your business will spend 5 minutes a week providing you outrageously superb value? Well, after a month or so you’ll know more than most, and after a year people will be breaking down your door.
Think about this: 5 minutes a week equals over 3 hours in the year. That will be the best 3 hours of professional growth and career development you will get. Your ROI is through the roof!
We start on January 18th, just in time to get a jump-start on the New Year. You’ll have these videos on your own platforms, your iPad, computers, and your cerebral cortex. Access them any time. Use them as tutorials.
There are never any refunds. I’ll happily resend anything lost in cyberspace. These are all copyrighted, and you can’t share them, because that’s illegal.
Wait…one more thing. I almost forgot. Sign up before my birthday December 31st (I hit the big 48 this year) and you’re in the charter group for $200. That’s four bucks a week. That’s less than what you spend on lint. Deadline is firm, 5 pm Pacific US time December 31st. Once you’re in at that level, you will be “grandfathered” in regardless of how much it goes up…and it probably will.
Agency Owners – Listen Up! I am giving an agency discount to those who buy in bulk. Register up to 10 of your people for only $1,000! That’s half the price and more than double the return.
Hurry, I’m thinking of changing my mind.
Individual – $200

Agency (up to 10 people) – $1,000
