“Seminars are my most important and effective marketing method now. My marketing methods used to be advertising, direct mail, cold calls, and networking. I used to spend at least $2,000 per month for marketing, but now my marketing cost is average $700 a month, and my income is more than double compared to the income I was earning before I started seminars. This is all because of David Portney’s seminar coaching. David Portney is right. Seminars are the most effective and inexpensive marketing method. No doubt about it!"

What Exactly Is Getting Your Money Where My Mouth Is?

My name is David R. Portney. I’m a public speaking, seminar, and presentation skills expert. I’ve delivered 1,893 seminars, workshops, keynote speeches, presentations, lectures, classes, trainings…you get the idea.

I’m the author of several books about those topics including this one right here—Get Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. I’ve earned more than attorneys make just for flapping my lips for an hour or two and then I’ve walked away with a hearty round of applause ringing in my ears and big fat checks in my pocket.

I’m also an expert at marketing, because the fact is—and this is something you must grasp right away or you will lose a lot of time and money if you don’t—public speaking and seminars is nothing more than an advertising medium. Seminars and public speaking are, in reality, marketing tools—the easiest, cheapest, fastest, and most fun lead generation and lead conversion tools that exist or ever will exist.

Get Your Money Where Your Mouth Is is going to open your eyes to a world you never knew existed and your business and personal life will never be the same ever again.

What makes me unique and special is not the fact that I’m an experienced, seasoned trainer / presenter / speaker / instructor / seminar leader and have been doing speaking and seminars since 1982.

No, what’s great about me is that I can (and if you let me, I will) make you great!

Let me put it this way: if you wanted to learn how to play golf like an expert, who would you rather train with: Tiger Woods or Tiger Woods’ golf coach?

I hope you said Tiger’s golf coach!

You see, Tiger may be one of the best golfers ever, but his claim to fame isn’t being the best golf teacher in the world.

Okay, I’ll set humility and modesty aside and admit that I’ve received a huge amount of positive feedback and compliments about my presentation skills and ability over the years. And, yes, I’ve used seminars and public speaking to rake in fistfuls of cash (and after you read this book, you’ll know how to do that, too).

But beyond that, what I’m really great at and what I’m truly passionate about is making you great.

And I can do that practically overnight.

Why is that important? Why should you care?

Because of the same exact same reasons that you’d want golf lessons from Tiger’s coach instead of Tiger.

Sure, if you hang out with Tiger, you’ll likely learn a thing or two, pick up some tips, and you’d probably improve your game a bit. But stop for one second and think about it: the person you really want to train with is the person that helps Tiger to get to the top of his game and stay there.

You want to train with the person who can give you world-class skills and show you how to take those skills and get real world results!

And if you, like me, are just a wee bit impatient and like to get great results as quickly as possible, then you certainly don’t want to work and practice for years to finally be able to have great presentation skills and make money with speaking and seminars.

You want to learn how to use public speaking and seminars to bring in floods of new business and income and attention to your product service cause or issue now, and not years from now, correct?

Good! Then you’ve have come to the right place.

Now, with that out of the way, let’s get on to getting your money where your mouth is!
