"Dan Kennedy's smart marketing advice has been of great
value to our business."
- Joan Rivers
"Knowing Kennedy is knowing that he practices every
point and idea he shares. The results are outstanding for
those who listen and act." - Herb True, Professor
of Management, College of Business Administration, University
of Notre Dame
"
I double majored in advertising and marketing
in college but I have learned more about these two areas from
your books and tapes the past month alone than I learned in
college, 15 years in the corporate world, and the last 13
years being self-employed."
- John Hayes Jr., TCI Publishing Co., FL
"My only complaint about your amazing tool kit is that
it's too thought-provoking. I'm writing this at 2:30 in the
morning! Thanks for the insomnia. I haven't slept in days,
too busy reading and listening to your materials!"
- Dr. James L. Weber (D.C.), CA
"Your Information is Worth More Than Its Weight In Gold!
Just one idea I got from you recently pulled in over $102,
396.17 in less than 47 days! In fact, on my biggest day, I
brought in a whopping $35, 772.83
and it took me a full
54-minutes just to process all of the credit card orders!
When I told my wife, she got angry - because with your ideas,
I made in ONE DAY what it takes her ONE FULL YEAR to make
as a full-time veterinarian! (I made it up to her by buying
her a new home - with four acres for her new horse). Thanks
again, Dan. Investing my money in your marketing information
has brought better returns than the stock market on its best
day - and I don't have to worry about any risk! Keep up the
great work!"
- Jeff Gardner, TX
"Dear Dan: I'm writing today to share a few thoughts
about my experiences with your work. I've spent roughly $700.00
with you in the past year for various books, kits and newsletters.
In a world of hype, I've found your materials to be honest
and results driven. Speaking of results, my mailings (based
on your advice) consistently pull a 7% to 10% response rate
- unheard of in the long-distance industry, where competition
is fierce. My own experiences are proof that your methods
product results."
- Tony Rubleski, MI
"I have been using your materials and your advice for
two years, as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for a
mortgage company. I am directing a direct-mail campaign that
sends over 750,000 pieces a month to homeowners all over the
United States. Our direct-mail has resulted in a 300% increase
in sales and profits."
- Doug Hinton, CA
"I have used your direct-mail campaign strategy and
had tremendous results. I spent $1,500.00 for a 500 piece
mailing that created $20,200.00 in income."
- Randy Thomas, IL
"Just one of your ideas exploded a business I've had
for eight years. It did okay, but your idea got me one of
the biggest orders ever in this business - a whopping (for
me) $17,001.00 check delivered by FedEx the first week I used
your strategy. Then another prestigious company got interested
because of the same offer. Before the end of the week, my
entire inventory was cleaned out!"
- Dick Miller, WI
"Ever since I first saw you speak at Success '95 in
Milwaukee and bought your materials, my like has changed for
the better. My attitude was pitiful, selling pathetic, income
decreasing. But not anymore! Now my selling is great - I just
closed THE LARGEST SINGLE ORDER in my division's history:
$1,472,050.00. And overall, my earning have increased by 159%.
Oh, by the way, I sell big ticket, high tech equipment, with
long sales cycles."
- Jon Gedymin, Hewlett-Packard, WI
"I want you to know, your methods work great. There
is nothing better than customers coming to you instead of
you chasing them."
- Terry Butz, MI
"I'm a manufacturers' representative in the home furnishings
industry, calling on furniture store buyers. Your 'magnetic
marketing' has completely replaced prospecting and cold-calling
for me. And, in the past year, I've opened 22 new accounts
- about $150,00.00 in new business, at a total cost of about
$700.00, using your method. And that was before I got serious
about this approach
"
- David Love, CA
"When I first heard your presentation in 1997, I was
working as a manufacturers' rep and was spending 80% of my
time in unmitigated prospecting drudgery
in the time
since, I have learned how to attract prospects via media,
including the Internet, with very little 'prospecting'. Needless
to say, my life as a salesperson in MUCH different that it
was 2 years ago!"
- Perry Sink, IL
"Instead of a 4% response, I am now averaging 15% TO
20%, and instead of a .05% purchase rate, I'm running anywhere
from 2.07% to 6.15%. The other tremendous benefit has been
that I am spending my time talking to people who are actually
interested, not to those prospects who have no interest. Your
method is a terrific screening device. This change alone has
saved me countless hours!
- Kenneth L. Williams, IL
"Dear Dan: A short note of appreciation to let you know
what your advice has meant to me. I heard you speak for the
first time in 1993. Your presentation hit me like a tone of
bricks. I brought your 'Magnetic Marketing System'. Since
then, I've heard you speak at least a dozen times, including
attending one of your expensive boot camps; purchased many
of your books, tapes; been a Inner Circle Member. The results
of following your lead? For example: my current, direct-response
advertising generates $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 in sales each
month. Best of all, it's cost effective
for every dollar
I invest in advertising, I put $3.00 to $5.00 in my pocket!
The value of following your advice: a very comfortable, 6-figure
income for my family. Thank you Dan, for everything."
- Mike Cohen, GA
"
the one idea you gave us at the meeting has made
us the most money ever in such a short item - within nine
weeks of the meeting, we made a total gross profit of $271,752.34
(on a mailing cost of only $11,714.41). You've helped us make
money since 1993, and many of your ideas have earned us a
small fortune over time, but nothing has ever made us this
much, this fast. Thanks in large part to your powerful methods
and strategies, and guidance, we are going to break the five
million dollar yearly sales mark for the first time in the
history of our company."
- T.J. & Eileen Rohleder, Kansas
"I've learned so much from him over the years, it's
an education that is invaluable. It has created millions and
millions of dollars of revenue for us. And after 8 or 9 years'
association with Dan, I'm still learning
I spend thousands
of dollars each year with Dan, attending seminars, going to
Platinum meetings. You want to learn how to get people to
respond to marketing, you go to Dan. I don't care what he
charges. It's a very inexpensive expenditure."
- Ron LeGrand, FL
"RE: 340% Increase in sales! That's right in 1992 we
almost went under. Our annual sales were $735,000.00. I sat
down and wrote a four year business plan in which I projected
where we were going to be and how we were going to get there.
I forecasted a 100% increase over four years, or total annual
sales in the fourth year of $1,500,000.00 which I thought
was wishful thinking. The first year or two involved direct
marketing via faxed flyers. If you possible remember, I stayed
after the "Success 1994" seminar at Exhibition Coliseum
in Toronto on June 22/94 and thanked you. I told you of my
success in the past 1 ½ years with my fax program but
I had no other ideas on how to increase sales until I listened
to your presentation and purchased your "magnetic marketing"
package. I know the fax marketing program would not last.
It tends to annoy people soon everybody and their brother
were doing it and the effect was more negative than positive.
The very first mailing I did was to 1655 companies in western
Ontario only. The sales we made from our first mailing was
over $250,000.00. We have been mailing an average of 400 envelopes
each week. Each one with 4 - 5 flyers in each one. Sample
enclosed. Our sales the last year of our plan 1996 were $2,500,000.00,
340% increase from 1992. Thank you Dan Kennedy. I would like
to attend one of your "Millionaire Maker" conference
and I wouldn't even mind speaking briefly to tell others how
I did it."
- Don Gordon
"In 1993, I attended Peter Lowe's Success day in St.
Paul, MN. I purchased both sets of your tapes (including Magnetic
Marketing) and promptly set to work. Although my company has
a direct-mail program that I participate in, I had not developed
any type of follow-up of my own. Using your system, I did
so and am very pleased with my results. I tripled my sales
results and increased my referrals by 100% based on what I've
learned from you. Thank you!"
- Karen Popken, Mary Kay Independent Senior Sales Director
Apple Valley, MN
"140,000.00 in business in 4 days, and a big chunk of
that was extra revenue I'd have never seen without the one
suggestion you gave me. If I'd been using that one since the
first of the year, I'd be at least $100,000.00 farther ahead."
- Joe Polish, Piranha Marketing, Inc.
"Dan Kennedy's reputation for teaching people how to
make money in direct mail is second to none on this planet.
Direct marketing industry heavyweights everywhere turn to
Dan on a daily basis, and willingly pay huge sums of money
for his no-nonsense approach. His cash-generating ideas overflow
like Niagara Falls!"
- Raymond Aaron Toronto, Canada
"After attending your seminar in Omaha, we purchased
your Magnetic Marketing System. WOW! We used the 3-letter
System to sell our Coupon Books. We targeted 1,600 local companies.
We sent out our letters about 9 days apart. Our response:
Letter #1, 7%; Letter #2, 8%; Letter #3, 3%; total response:
18%! We sold 3,700 books and had a profit of $26,000.00! You're
a legend!"
- Doug Nielson, The Big-O Book, Market Innovators Omaha,
NE
"I have been using your materials and advice for two
years, as Vice-President of Sales and Marketing for a mortgage
company. I am directing a direct-mail campaign that sends
over 75,000 pieces a month to homeowners all over the United
States. Our direct-mail program has resulted in a 300% to
400% increase in sales and profit."
- Doug Hinton, Seacoast Equities Inc. La Mesa, CA
"If you're a salesperson, businessperson, or entrepreneur,
your greatest asset is your mind. Your second greatest asset
is Dan Kennedy's mind."
- Dave Bellizi, Director The Silva Method for Sales Professionals
New Jersey
"Your expertise helped to vault my business to the next
level. One year ago, when we met at your seminar, I was in
start-up mode. Using your information, ideas and input over
the last year, we have met and surpassed our sales goals for
one year. What a tremendous feeling!"
- Don R. Campbell, Campbell Business Services, Inc., Vancouver,
B.C.
"Thank you! I invested in your Magnetic Marketing System
about seven months ago and it has literally changed my life.
You promised you had strategies that would work for any business
and you were right. I'm a professional magician. Before I
got your System, I did 12 to 20 shows a year - obviously not
enough to make a living. After putting into action what you
teach, I now book between 20 to 30 shows a month!"
- David DiPietro The Magic of David Dee Roswell, GA
"Ever since I first saw you speak and bought your materials,
my life has changed for the better. My selling was pathetic!
My attitude was pitiful. My income decreasing. NOT ANYMORE.
My selling is great - I just closed the largest single order
in my division history; $1,472,050.00! My earnings have increased
by 159%."
- Joe Gedymin Oconomowoc, WI
"I've been speaking for profit for a number of years.
Two things hit me right away (about your Mega System For Speakers):
first, how much easier and more profitable my speaking business
could have been if I would have had Dan's information to begin
with. Second, how putting just a few of these proven techniques
into action will substantially increase my bottom line this
year - and for many years to come."
- Bob Serling Stratford Marketing Group Studio City, CA
"If you want to make waves, go to Harvard and get your
Ph.D.. If you want to make money, get your Ph.E. - run to
your nearest bookstore and get Kennedy's new book- it's a
four year course in Entrepreneurship."
- Al Ries Co-author of "22 Immutable Laws of Marketing"
"I've used a lot of your ideas, with the latest success
wrinkle being 'your choice'& I created three levels of
packages& I've had a near 75% up-sell from $2.95 to $50.00
on my recorded message!"
- Mark Smith, Expert In Trade Show Selling Colorado Springs,
CO
"...what this all comes down to, Dan, and that I want
to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have spent hundreds,
maybe thousands of dollars with you over the past couple of
years and here I am thanking you for it! I can honestly say
that I have made well over 20 times the investment with your
information. It's all straightforward, "no BS",
real."
- Michael J. Mendenhall Monterey, CA
"I'm the mortgage broker in Ottawa you may or may not
remember. I've been using your 'stuff' for about 3 years we
are getting about 400 calls - are you sitting down? - a day!
Thank you."
- Grant King Ottawa-Carleton Mortgage Canada
"I have purchased thousands of dollars' worth of Dan
Kennedy's books, tapes, newsletters, special reports and have
had him speak at two of my Marketing Boot Camps held for the
photography industry. His wealth of business-growing ideas
have helped me grow personally and professionally - and directly
added no less than $336,000.00 to my sales last year."
- John R. Hartman, President Contemporary Photography Stevens
Point, WI
"We use your tapes and newsletter as part of our resource
library. I am very impressed with the practical value of the
information."
- Julie Wyrick, Missouri Small Business Development Center
"Dan Kennedy is directly responsible for my selling
over $500,000 books and videos."
- Darrel Montero Phoenix, AZ
"To my speaking colleagues: I've said it before and
I'll say it again - there is no one who knows more about the
real world of speaking than Dan Kennedy. When it comes to
knowledge of how to organize, market, sell and build products
and services at a profit, Dan Kennedy has no equal. For over
a decade, I have utilized Dan's ideas in my own speaking,
training and consulting business. As a consequence, we have
been fortunate enough to show consistent growth and continue
to do so. I recommend Dan's services highly."
- William T. Brooks, CSP, CPAE, CPCM The Brooks Group Greensboro,
NC
"Switching from traditional advertising to Kennedy marketing
methodology saved my butt . . .I am President of a 10 year
old firm which deals in high tech equipment for the bio-pharmaceutical
industry. We were struggling and surviving the first few years,
but a downturn in our industry put us in a tailspin, and our
investors withdrew support. In early 1994, we cancelled all
our regular advertising, mail, beginning with just 2400 names.
Our business has grown by leaps and bounds, revenues quadrupled,
we're now THE leader in our category, and other companies
are even asking us to do their marketing. I buy everything
Dan offers."
- Tom Hoobyar
"Your materials have catapulted me out of a roach-infested,
black and sorrowful dwelling! I'm now being referred to as
'one of North America's top sports artists' who's paintings
belong to a dozen superstar athletes. I have an opportunity
to market two of my lithographs for an estimated profit of
$500,000.00 in 1994. Six years ago, I was a homeless person
living in a shelter for abused women. I keep your books next
to my bed, beside Napoleon Hill's. You're a lifesaver!"
- Katherine Allen Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
"In 1992, we almost went under. Our sales were $735,000.00.
I sat down and wrote a 4 year plan in which I forecasted a
100% increase over the 4 years, with total annual sales the
4th year of $1.5 million. Frankly, I thought it was wishful
thinking. If you possibly remember, I stayed after the 'Success
1994' event at Exhibition Coliseum in Toronto and thanked
you. I told you of my success in the past 1-1/2 years with
faxing flyers, but admitted that I had no other ideas on how
to increase sales - until I listened to your presentation.
I knew the FAX marketing would not last. (It tends to annoy
people....the effect was more negative than positive.) Using
your ideas, the very first mailing I did was to 1,655 companies
in western Ontario. The sales we made from the first mailing
exceeded $250,000.00. We have been mailing an average of 400
envelopes each week. Our total sales the 4th year from my
1992 planning were $2.5 million....a 340% increase from 1992.
And profitable. Thank you Dan Kennedy."
- Don Gordon President SWL Crane & Hoist LTD.
"Although this thank-you gift is long overdue, I hope
it expresses my gratitude for what your books, tapes and newsletters
have done to improve not only my business, but my entire life.
You may recall meeting my younger brother, Mike, at your Orlando
Seminar. Mike, unlike me, had little exposure to your work,
although I had often shared your principles with him. He left
Orlando 'a changed man'! Not only has his main business substantially
improved, but he has 'gone on a tear' with our Alpine air
purification business."
- William James Lee, President, Friends For Life Marketing
"As a result of studying your ideas, I have taken a
product that I had invested years and over $100,000.00 in,
that was dead in the water, and completely, as you say, 're-invented'
it, taken it directly to consumers with your kind of advertising,
and began making money the very first month. If I stay at
the current pace, I'll have all my debts paid off and be running
a profitable business in just four more months. I once spent
$15,000.00 with a big advertising agency and got bupkus for
it. I've spent less than $1,500.00 with you and am making
a fortune."
- Carol Van CEO Innovations, L.L.C.
"He put us in the high-priced seminar business. Showed
us how to leverage a yearly marketing campaign we were already
doing successfully into about 30% more profits. His impact
on our business has been enormous."
- Greg Stanley, Whitehall Management
" . . . well, I learned more about selling information
from your book than from 20 others I've studied combined.
You not only put your brains, file cabinets and experience
into your book, you also put your heart and soul."
- Thomas W. Duffy Stow, OH
"As a professional copywriter, I create mailings for
some of the top publishers in the country. Yet on these tapes,
I've found tons of great techniques and ideas for increasing
response that I've never heard anywhere else. Not even from
Dan, until now."
- David Deutsch, Direct Mail Copywriter Midlothian, Virginia
"I have read all of Dan's books, have purchased his
Magnetic Marketing program and the whole Power Points series,
have attended numerous seminars, even paid thousands of dollars
to join his Platinum Inner Circle Group. One would think that
I would have learned everything Dan has to say by now. But
after viewing Dan's Copywriting Seminar In-A-Box, I can honestly
say that I've been introduced to hundreds of new ideas that
I know will make me thousands of dollars. I've already implemented
lots of them. You don't have to be a great copywriter to be
a great direct response marketer. Dan makes it so easy for
you by giving you the world's greatest templates, and then,
backing them up by injecting his own, easy-to-use ways to
interpolate them for your own use. I have literally watched
and re-watched the video tapes of the seminar, each time picking
up at least one new idea that I can use that day. In fact,
I've made a routine of popping one of the videos into the
VCR each morning while I run on my treadmill! After thirty
minutes, I've gotten my workout for that day done, and I've
thought of at least one way to improve my pulling ratios.
My only complaint is that I'm tired of seeing Dan in that
same suit."
- Reed Hoisington, Midstate Financial Services Fayetteville,
NC
"During one of the last hot seats and the end of the
second day, Dan gave some advice on how to systematically
ask for referrals using direct mail on an ongoing, daily basis.
I decided to take the advice he gave the other business owners
and use it for one of my own businesses. Consequently, in
the last three months our referral business has increased
by 24%, putting an additional $23,275 of income into the bank.
This example is just one of the many little golden nuggets
of information you get when you attend a Dan Kennedy Seminar.
You can't possibly do them all. My advice is to take the top
three you know you can implement in the next 60 days and go
make your own small fortune."
- Chauncey Hutter, Jr. Real Tax Marketing, Inc. Charlottesville,
Virginia
"This is my fourth pilgrimage here in the last three
years, and every time I come it changes for me, but I learn
more and more. I've gone from taking notes - I've got volumes
of notes - but what happened to me these last two days is
four or five marketing campaigns have just written themselves
into my spiral notebook, so the work is done and all I have
to do is go back and put the work into motion."
- Terry Hunefield, REMU Oceanside, California
"With the checklists and manuals Dan gave us, instead
of me having to go through my six bookshelves and seven boxes
of marketing materials, I now have everything summarized for
me in one place, so I know I've at least, without even starting
yet, cut my copywriting time in half."
- Jim Fleck HPS, Inc Schaumburg, IL
"No one knows more about Direct Response Marketing than
Dan Kennedy. When he gives his advice on a particular project
or idea, his suggestions are based on real-life, hands-on
experience. He doesn't guess. He has been there, seen it,
or done it before. This real-like knowledge is worth thousands
of dollars. When I want to be successful in a marketing campaign,
I don't want to waste thousands of dollars testing to see
what will work. I want to come out of the gate with a strategy
that will make money. I don't need any more experience. Dan
has helped me do this!"
- David Lupberger, Silver Spring, MD
"Previously, it took me weeks
sometimes even months
to write a direct response sales letter. I dreaded the process.
But after investing in Dan Kennedy's Copywriting Seminar and
using the techniques he taught, I'm creating sales letters
in a tenth of the time (sometimes just a few hours!) and my
response rates are at an all-time high. Thanks Dan!"
- Josh Bezoni Golden, Colorado
"Per your advice, I replaced the large logo and company
name that dominated my old Yellow Pages ad with the simple
bold headline you suggested. Ad response has increased ten-fold.
That one 10-minute phone call with you, on June 4th, 1998
at 2:00 P.M. St. Louis time was the single most important
phone call of my business life."
- Rex W. Beckham, Welded Roof Systems, Missouri
"I have learned more about marketing from you in 9 months
that all of my 22 years of business experience. Throughout
my career, I have never been exposed to marketing materials
that are as effective as yours."
