Then keep reading! By the end of this page, this will make more sense and you’ll understand why I am qualified to help you.

WHY I CREATED THE PROMOTE U PROGRAM:
Prior to writing my book and embarking on my professional speaking and consulting career, I owned an award-winning marketing agency in Silicon Valley for 20 years. Luckily, my extensive knowledge of marketing, PR and publicity has served me well in promoting my book and myself. And, yes, I personally hired a publicist, and paid big bucks, only to get ZERO results in 4 months. That’s when I decided to take the marketing of “me” into my own hands!

As a published author and in-demand corporate speaker and consultant (and marketing expert), colleagues constantly ask me questions like: How did you write your book? How did you publish it? How did you market it? How did you get featured in over 100 publications, websites and blogs in less than a year? How did you end-up on MSNBC as a featured expert? How did you get on the cover of several industry mags? How did you get paid speaking and consulting gigs with well-known organizations like Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Cisco, Heald College, USC, and Paul Mitchell so quickly? How did you get over 100,000 hits on ONE Press Release in one week?

Based on constant inquiries like those, I created the Promote U Program. In my courses I tell you everything I know. I’ll give you the straight scoop; no fluff or up-sell like other seminars touting they will teach you “how to market yourself”. You’ll get TONS of useful info and resources that will benefit you immediately–all the strategies that PR Experts, Publicists and Marketing Consultants WON’T SHARE…even if you pay them a big monthly retainer. Why? They don’t want you to be able to do things on your own! And most of the strategies I use aren’t ones my publicist even knew about. She actually learned strategies from ME! What’s wrong with THAT picture??

And, yes, I have also paid big bucks (totaling over $5k) to attend “How to market your book” workshops, and “How to build your speaking & consulting business” seminars & webinars. And, I always walked away disappointed…and feeling somewhat ripped off. They typically have a major up-sell of some sort to get more money from you and provide “fluff” content.
