📕Coming Thursday: “Story Power Marketing” (The Book)

Watch your email Thursday for the link to buy Story Power Marketing: Proven Methods to Create Client-Attracting, Profit Generating Content — Without Getting Stuck.

Here’s what Dave Dee said about the book:

“I love this book! It is packed with information you can immediately use to make more money. Tom left no stones unturned and shows you specifically how to make your marketing more engaging. There is no fluff or filler. Just one hard-hitting strategy after another.”

📈 Create a High-Converting Presentation in Just One Day

Speaking of Dave Dee…

…he’s the best I know at teaching marketers how to create one-to-many events and presentations to generate appointments with leads who are ready to work with you.

On Friday, he’s hosting an all-day workshop — for an obscenely low price — where you will build a high-converting presentation, an irresistible offer, and a plan to turn prospects into clients.

I’ve learned from Dave many of the things he’ll share in this workshop. This training is worth way more than he’s asking you to invest.

Details and registration here.

🤝 Daniel Pink on Persuasion

Daniel Pink released this video 10 years ago, long before AI exploded on the marketing/sales scene.

In this 3-minute video, reveals how to influence others more effectively. He says it’s simple as A-B-C.

His message is more relevant than ever today — ending with this line: “I really am convinced that the way to (influence and persuade) more effectively is to just be a little bit more human.” Great advice for the AI age.
