“I actually increased my commission income by 40% last week alone!” “Before I used to say: “I run sales training for retail furniture stores” – that bored even me to tears! Every furniture store owner has had sales trainers before – mostly with no results at all. So it was difficult to get them to open up. Now, after the bootcamp, the message changed: “We train 7 simple steps that enable ANY salesperson to get the maximum revenue out of your visitors.” And “We enable our customers to sell 11% more than last year with 30% less visitors – that’s more than 40% more revenue per visitor!” “Our latest sales promotion tripled the sales our customer had expected for the month.” I am a certified Dale Carnegie Trainer and have been in sales and sales training for over 15 years. Each year for the past 10 years I have spent money on coaching, courses and programs. Because of its brevity, focus and practicality this is the most massively useful sales program I have encountered so far. I recommend ... the 30 Seconds course to anybody who needs to sell his services (which nowadays is just about everybody!) Ann is a pro! She is on a mission to eliminate that boring drivel most of us utter when we are asked: “So, what do YOU do?” Godspeed to her!” ~ Thomas Witt – Frankfurt, Germany www.verkaufslotse.de ~

“My Appointments Rose 30%.” Being in sales, I realize how important it is to get your message across in a clear and capturing manner. I was failing. Thankfully I attended one of Ann’s presentations and walked away with renewed hope and inspiration. From there I enlisted her help one on one and after 2 short hours, I had my very own clear and capturing message. My hesitation at making cold calls evaporated and my appointments rose 30%. Thank you Ann……..your input and coaching made a huge difference! ~ Debby Dooley Account Executive, Cardservice International ~

“I increased my business by 300%!” Speak your Business works. I got it at the Networking Meeting that what you said worked. So on faith, I used the Ann Convery method and tripled my business. You are right. Most people are trained from early childhood not to be self-promotional. So they are not. As a result they never get a chance to give of their gifts and get rich in doing so. You teach the use of messages of integrity that come from the heart. ~ Carol Segrave President, Segrave and Associates www.Segraveassociates.com ~

“From Desperate, Frustrated And Broke To Skyrocketing Income!” Thank you, Ann! I don't know how I could be doing what I'm doing without you. I had a really hard time explaining what I do to people without losing their attention span. This prevented me from making the money and helping the people that really needed and wanted my services. I was desperate and frustrated and broke. Then you came along. Within two weeks after our coaching session, I had a couple of clients hand me upfront money for package sessions worth several thousand dollars. My income went up immediately! Again, thank you!!! I look forward to future sessions with you. ~ Keiko Baxter ~

“The only other person who has had as much impact on changing my approach and my focus is Tony Robbins.” “Over the years I have spent thousands of dollars trying to learn about marketing and sales and the only other person who has had as much impact on changing me and changing my approach and my focus is Tony Robbins. You have managed to concisely consolidate some of the most critical concepts that people need to understand about marketing themselves and their business into a very easy to understand short time commitment process here.” All I can really say is thank you, you’re awesome. I would refer you any minute of the day to anyone. And I will be.” ~ Shawna Crabtree Clarion Mortgage Capital Inc. ~

“I'm Getting 30% More Leads!” “From Ann, I learned that I don’t have to explain what I do at all. I don’t even have to label myself. The goal is to get straight to how I can help. People always want to know “What’s in it for me?” and they want to know it now. As a result of my new pitch, I’m getting about 30% more leads than I did before the class, and I would definitely recommend Ann’s class but not to my competition!” ~ Stacey Morris Copywriter www.infoproductscoach.com ~

“Give Ann Convery 30 Seconds and She'll Show You How to Create a Lifetime Of Business.” What do you do? Can you tell me in 30 seconds or less and leave me wanting more? Yes, if you follow the advice of Ann Convery. My partners, Judith and Jim, interviewed Ann and here are just a few of her tips. If you are a personal trainer, don't say, "I'm a personal trainer." Instead pull a fact from what you do. "I help people lose up to 33 pounds in 6 weeks or less." If the person you're talking to wants to lose weight or knows someone who does, that's compelling. Being just a personal trainer is not. You've not only gained curiosity, you've strengthened your credibility by quantifying it with numbers. 33 pounds in 6 weeks or less. Give Ann Convery 30 seconds and she'll show you how to create a lifetime of business. Tell your business to others in 30 seconds or less? Yes, it's not only possible; it's already worked for hundreds. ~ Tom Justin www.YourInnerWizard.com ~

“Your information is pure genius!” “Ann, your information is pure genius! It's so totally original, on point and useful, that I've gotten loads of valuable ideas from it. I've also used your ‘verbs’ list to create altogether new and even clever ways to express follow-up lines that are applicable not only in my verbal presentations but also in my written materials. As a result, I feel so much more confident and in control when "speaking my business - in 30 seconds or less" to many different kinds of people. Thank you, Ann... many, many times over.” ~ Marcie Green - Sea-Green Financial Services www. SeagreenFinancial.com ~

“I’ve at least doubled my list thanks to our sessions!” “Since I worked with you, wow! It generated so much more excitement for me. My idea for my blog came out of it: Susan’s Success Express. Just really generated a lot of excitement and buzz. I know I’ve at least doubled my list thanks to our sessions. And the most important thing – it gave me such a comfort level on what it is that I do. I now have that ease and proficiency when I go to networking and marketing groups. I tell them: I have this train...Susan’s Success Express. My clients get on board and their lives change forever. I take them on a ride to their life.” ~ Susan Birmingham, Founder and CEO Birmingham Consulting and Coaching Creator, The Esteem Principle www.esteemprinciple.com ~

“No one teaches it better than Ann Convery.” “If you asked me to name the single most essential, "must have" marketing skill, I would not hesitate with my answer: The ability to develop a good "hook." In my experience, closing is easy when you're talking to the right person and have made a well thought out presentation tailored to your prospect. What's not easy is getting someone to sit down and listen (or read or watch) what you have to say. Every successful marketer has mastered this skill. No one teaches it better than Ann Convery.” ~ Ken McCarthy, Founder, The System www.thesystem.com ~

“I have expanded my customer database by 60%!” "I have utilized Ann's great mind on more than one occasion. Her presentation skills are so dynamic that every time she headlines at my chapter events we automatically sell out within week of the announcement that she will be speaking! Everyone goes home fully charged with innovative skills that can be applied right away. Ann’s telecourse is worth its weight in platinum! I have expanded my business and increased my customer database by 60%! A must for any business owner who truly wants to make more money!" ~ Renee Walton National Director, Moms Making Money ~

“You’ll no longer have to chase customers!” Ann will help you craft the marketing words that will make your business compelling so prospects will be drawn to your business and more of them will want to buy your product or service. You’ll no longer have to chase customers. Your ads and other marketing activities need not cost you anymore. They’ll just bring in more sales. And it can be substantial. Ann’s “Speak Your Business” work is unique. There’s nothing superficial about what she teaches, it’s the real deal, in-depth and based on a great deal of in-the-trenches experience. And some natural street smarts. There just aren’t any negatives here. If you don’t have hordes of clients waiting for your business, then work with Ann.” ~ Drew Morris Founder, CEO www.greatnumbers.com ~

“My clients rave about what’s on my website.” “I think Ann Convery is one of the most brilliant women that I have ever met. When I started working with her I was a complete idiot when it came to writing copy for my website and not only did she really hear what my work was about, she actually took me through a process where together we were able to create the perfect text for my website. I love what’s on my website, my clients rave about what’s on my website. They’re really clear who I am, and what I offer. They’ve been very drawn to my website, and have certainly wanted to read more. In the process not only have I turned out a great website but I also learned how to do some of my own copy, I’ve learned how what an important effect the “limbic system” words have on the brain. And it’s just been absolutely amazing I highly recommend Ann to coaches, to other practitioners, to anybody wanting to put together a website, and at the same time learn more about it. ~ Susan Ortolano, MA Radiant Pathways, LLC www.radiantpathways.com ~

“I learned more about marketing than I have in the past 7 weeks in the $1200.00 [Shhhh! BIG NAME] marketing course.” Ann, in just 12 minutes after downloading your 30-second secrets product I learned more about marketing then I have in the past 7 weeks in the $1200.00 [BIG NAME] marketing course. Thx! ~Pete support-line-services.com ~

“Thanks for teaching me that "dollarizing" in a testimonial leads to more business!” Ann, thanks for teaching me that "dollarizing" in a testimonial leads to more business! In June 2008, a general contractor utilized my company's client retention system, winning a $30,000 kitchen remodeling job in the Detroit metro area-- even though his bid was $1000 higher than the next highest competitor's. When he spoke that testimonial during a business networking meeting, many people gasped with excitement. One of the listeners purchased a $308 subscription account within a week, and several others asked for a demonstration account. "Dollarizing" his testimonial brought an amazing response! ~Lynn Selwa SendSomeJoy.com Plymouth, Michigan ~

“I captured their interest in 5 seconds!” “Ann, you gave me such great tips on "Speak Your Business in 30 Seconds or Less". I used your tips when I recorded the video that is on my website. Last week someone told me how I captured their interest in 5 seconds...that was because of you!” ~ Steve Turner, President New Path Management Solutions, LLC www.newpathmanagement.com ~

“Everyone at the table was hanging on my every word!” “Prior to working with Ann, I had felt that I was always trying to cram as much information as I could into a few seconds or couple of minutes that I might have at networking functions, such as a Chamber breakfast. After taking the first session of Ann’s teleclass, I revamped my pitch to just give teasers and facts that I could use to quantify our success and success stories. After that first breakfast when I used that, not only could I tell that everyone at the table was hanging on my every word, but afterwards when the breakfast was over, which was at least a full 20 minutes after I was done speaking, 3 out of the 5 people who were still at the table couldn’t wait to talk to me afterwards and get more information about our services. So I’m very, very pleased... It’s beneficial on numerous levels, and it’s continued to help me rethink the way I pitch to interest people and to keep them interested.” ~ Susan Hamersky Co-Owner, California Concierge ~

“I am planning to get your CD's and study them until I can repeat what you say verbatim.” “Yours seems to be the least intrusive selling techniques that I have found. I have been in radio and around radio sales people for 20 years and most of the techniques that are taught to the sales people are more of bully and push them into it technique rather than a just lead them into it, like yours. I am planning to get your selling techniques and study them until I can repeat what you say verbatim. Thank You.” ~Tom Weiland Owner WBE Radio Network, www.irocradio.com ~

“You really caught on to what I do fast!” I had no idea how to get the passion I have for what I do into words that make sense to someone who doesn't know about it. You were able to take all my jumbled ideas and organize them into something that really works. The way you helped me word what I do has helped me reach people that I can help in a way that they realize that my brain training solutions are really the answer to the underlying problems they are having with learning, attention, focus and organization. I feel that you really caught on to what I do fast and have been able to show me how to communicate what I want to say effectively. ~Sherrie Hardy Founder, Hardy Brain Training www.hardybraintraining.com ~

“It got everyone’s attention for sure!” Ann, just a brief note to you to let you know that I went to a networking event last night. I met four people and used the introduction we had worked out for what I do, and it got everyone's attention for sure. In fact they would ask me to give an example of outside the company and inside the company. The last person said to me that he had met many people at networking events but never one like me. Ann, you are terrific. ~Sarah Carson~

“I’m 100% more comfortable and 10 times more confident when I tell people what I do.” “Before worked with Ann, whenever people asked me what I did, I felt confused about how to answer in a concise and powerful way. Nine out of ten times my response left them with this glazed look and me feeling a little embarrassed. How could I be so good at what I do and so many people find such immense value in our work, and yet I am unable to answer this simple question in a clear way? In my 1st class with Ann I found hope, it was possible for me to tell people what I did and they would actually get it. Now I feel 100% more comfortable and 10 times more confident when I tell people about what I do. I came out of the class having not only three or four different ways to let people know what I do, but I got dozens of ideas for new articles, ideas about how to talk to the media about what I do, and ways to talk about my business that never occurred to me before this class. This class is a bargain at 3 times the price. Thanks Ann!!” ~ Beth Banning Co-Founder, Focused Attention www.focusedattention.com ~

“More Referrals Than Ever!” Getting me to speak in public is no problem. Getting me to stop is. Ann's training not only made it real how important it is to have a short "sound bite" for our company, she helped me develop one. At a high level networking event I was able to cut my usual five minute talk down to 35 seconds and ended up getting more referrals than ever. ~ Don Spector President, The Next Level Marketing ~

“I comfortably doubled my income!” (in less than 24 hours) “Ann, more sensational results. I had 2 challenges: 1. I wanted to double my income. 2. I wanted to travel a maximum of 14 days per month. Therefore I came up with “The 7-Step-Deployment Program” (sounds better in German), which is exclusive for 7 of my best furniture retail customers and which runs for 7 months. In Chicago I learned two things from you: a) Platform sales (telling them in a fascinating presentation what to do to become rich, famous or whatever they want to be but not “how”) and then b) Selling packages of audio, video, coaching and training to answer the “how” question raised by the platform sale (vastly more profitable than just billing consulting/training days). A group of 7 potential clients was meeting for two days of strategy sessions and brainstorming in a fancy hotel. I called one of them and offered to drop by for an informal “talk near the fireplace” so that they could all prick my brain free of charge. The conversation actually took place over a 5 course dinner. I started dropping the breadcrumbs you taught me and kept teasing them for hours. Several times during that dinner one of them demanded impatiently that I tell them what I was going to do about it. I told them that I did not want to bore the spouses who were present, which prompted them to ask me to stay overnight and talk during a one hour slot after breakfast next morning. I got up at 5:30, planned the presentation using the mindmap I made during your bootcamp. I went to the flipchart at 8:30 after breakfast and continued teasing them for two hours! I later counted that I used more than 30 brain twisters, breadcrumbs and trigger phrases that you taught me in that presentation. After that it was like stealing candy from a baby: I sold 7 of them on a 7 month, 7 step package, for EUR 4.750 per month which comfortably doubles my income. At 10:30 I had sold all 7 places and proceeded to use the Spa of the hotel because my day’s work was done.” ~ Thomas Witt – Frankfurt, Germany www.verkaufslotse.de ~

“I definitely endorse Ann to anybody who has the opportunity to work with her!” I had the extreme pleasure of being able to work with Ann recently, and I was just overwhelmed by her ability to transform what I was trying to convey, and really make it powerful, really make it clear. She was great, and really taught me the method behind the madness. I learned so much. I definitely endorse Ann to anybody who has the opportunity to work with her. She is really a gem and I’m telling you, her skills and her ability and gifts are really valuable. I definitely will be working with Ann more in the future. ~ Nancy Solari, Founder Living Full Out www.livingfullout.com ~

For individuals and companies that who need to be able to articulate their essential value, Ann is your go-to gal." ~ Lanny Goodman management technologies inc. feed://www.lannygoodman.com/atom.xml ~

“You put numbers on my business and it makes a HUGE difference.” “You've taken my stories, and you've flipped them around, and you're giving me my own information in the way enables me to make a sale. You put numbers on my business and it makes a huge difference. I always find hidden money for my clients. I feel like I've got an arsenal now.” ~ Beth Schneider, Chief Infopreneur - Process Prodigy www.processprodigy.com ~

“I was No. 1 on my Sales Team!” “You had me riveted during your entire speech. I was on the edge of my seat with every word! I have recommended you to speak at our national convention. Before I met you I really liked my job. Now, I am more confident than ever and I absolutely love what I do!! Within the first week of working together I had 2 new recruit calls, and the following month I was NUMBER ONE in sales on my team! I also had and a small article and my picture in the newspaper. You are an amazing mentor, and the people you have helped inspire me. Ann, meeting you was one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you for everything you have done for me!!" ~ Becky Silk, Director Taste of Home Entertaining ~
