Presentation Descriptions

GUERRILLA MARKETING

WHAT AD AGENCIES DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!

Coined by author Jay Conrad Levinson, "Guerrilla Marketing" is a term used to describe unconventional and more economical marketing and advertising techniques. Entrepreneur and entertainer Gery L. Deer has used these techniques to push his unusual businesses from concept to profit center.

The seminar covers the basics of the guerrilla marketing concept beginning with tools that most businesses already have in place that can be enhanced by some creative planning. This is a 60-90 minute presentation available anywhere in the United States.

 

 

THE "SLASH" EFFECT - MANAGING MULTIPLE CAREERS

The Slash EffectAuthor Marci Alboher (One Person / Multiple Careers) finally put down on paper what many entrepreneurs have always known. She offers that the "slash" effect refers to the tendency in some people towards a multiple-career lifestyle. Not in changing careers, but in keeping several going at once! Presenter Gery L. Deer is something of an expert in this arena, having had his multiple career life since his college years.

In his seminar, Gery helps people identify personality traits that make them more apt to be suited for this kind of professional lifestyle. He also helps dispel the myth that these people are 'jacks of all trades,' but instead professionals who choose to make use of many skills rather than be defined by one occupation.

 

FIRST IMPRESSIONS IN 60 SECONDS!

Do you sometimes struggle with how to talk to a group about your business? Public speaking classes and toastmaster lessons can help but there are some skills that these kinds of classes do not teach. “First Impressions In 60 Seconds” is a 90-minute interactive workshop that goes into the skills used by stage performers to develop their skills and applied to business interactions and public speaking situations. We teach you to think about speaking to people about your company or business in a totally different way. This session is perfect for small business owners or those who work independently and need to have more confidence in speaking about their work to larger companies or groups. Don’t be shy when talking about how great your work is – let people know. Inspire them with confidence in your own work that will make them want to work with you. This is a one-of-a-kind session and only offered by Gery L. Deer through GLD Enterprises & Productions.

 

THE LOGIC OF POLITICS AND RELIGION

As a matter of history, people are passionate about two things - politics and religion. They are the two forbidden subjects at most dinner parties and either subject can evoke heated debate among the most mild mannered people. Why is this? The reason is simple - because people make decisions about religion or politics almost entirely as an emotional response. In this program, learn how people choose sides on these subjects and see how that compares to other choices we make in life.

The session is interactive and helps people to better understand how they make decisions.
