HEY IT’S
NICE TO MEET YOU
Technically this is a video about body language. But if you watch it, I feel like you’ll get to know me better.
ME IN THE FIRST PERSON
BEN LEVY
I am not a natural presenter. As an advertising copywriter, I spent years believing the work should “sell itself.” Imagine a lawyer declaring “Exhibit A, your Honor,” then sitting down without making an argument.
Frankly, it’s amazing I sold anything.
Once I understood the importance of pitching and presenting, I became obsessed. Eventually, my skills grew to the point where leadership insisted I be in the room for every client meeting.
It quickly became a case of too many meetings, not enough me. When my early attempts at cloning failed, I did the next best thing: created a 10-session course to turn mediocre sellers into great ones.
Word got out, and people I’d never met started asking if I’d help their businesses.
Being a great presenter led me here. Let’s find out where it can lead you.
