George

I keep your people entertained while they learn, by illustrating my points with magic and illusion that will keep them talking for years.

Your audience will learn how to construct a powerful, results-oriented marketing program using the word-of-mouth techniques that really work. Participants go away with a new marketing toolbox. They will be able to increase marketing effectiveness, while cutting its budget. In all of these programs, the emphasis is on the audience taking away practical approaches and steps that directly apply to their marketing situations and their lives.

George usually conducts a telephone focus group with people who will be attending your event, so that he can tailor his presentation to your audience.

How to Break Free of Our Limiting Myths and Illusions.

Summary: Our business and professional lives are limited by the myths, illusions, habits and assumptions we make. In this amusing and enlightening program, George gently shakes up our complacency through a series of magical illusions (George is regarded as one of the leading 150 close-up magicians in the world. He regularly conducts workshops for magicians). Then, he questions some of our most compelling marketing assumptions, such as the ideas that salespeople and advertising actually sell products, that we have to make noise to get through the clutter, that customers are buying your product, that the marketplace is the same as it was five years ago. Most importantly, after opening people's minds, he suggests powerful new ways of approaching marketing in general and life itself, that take the audience beyond conventional thinking to reach new heights. This program will both shake up and inspire your audiences to approach marketing with fresh perspectives. No one will ever approach marketing in the same old traditional way again.  Custom tailored to your audience via focus groups, interviews and/or email questionnaires.

 

Whoosh-ology: How To Use Decision Acceleration As The Secret Weapon To Dominate Your Market.

Summary: The business schools and everyone else have missed this principle: the best way to dominate a market is to speed up your customers' decisions. Make your products easier to learn about, easier to try, buy, use, fix, etc. and you will accumulate customers faster than your competition. Only a handful of companies understand this, and they are among the most successful in the world (Microsoft, AOL, P&G, FedEx, Palm, Yahoo!). Other companies keep coming up with "better" products and don't understand why these companies keep thriving. In this session, George breaks through the myths and illusions of conventional marketing and shows you how to increase the efficiency of your marketing while lowering your budget. Offered as a company workshop, one-day or keynote.

George Silverman

George Silverman, is the author of The Secrets of Word-of-Mouth Marketing: How to Trigger Exponential Sales Through Runaway Word of Mouth (AMACOM). He is a recovered and reformed psychologist. His primary interest is in word-of-mouth marketing, decision-making and persuasion. He is the inventor of the telephone focus group, co-inventor of the peer word of mouth group -- widely acknowledged to be the most powerful marketing method ever developed in the pharmaceutical, agricultural and medical device industries. He has successfully used word of mouth techniques to accelerate purchase decisions for some of the most successful products ever introduced, including the VCR, the automatic teller machine, the Trac II razor, the NordicTrack and many of the most successful pharmaceutical launches in history. He is a past Treasurer and Board member of the Qualitative Research Consultants Association (QRCA), and has been Chairman of its Professionalism Committee.

George is also a close-up illusionist. He is the Workshop and Lecture Chairman of the Parent Assembly of the Society of American Magicians and a member of the Academy of Magical Arts (The Magic Castle) in L.A. He is one of the leading close-up magicians who convene yearly from around the world at the FFFF convention. It is the most exclusive, invitational only, highly prestigious close-up magic conclave. He uses illusions in his speeches, seminars and workshops to create a sense of open-minded wonder, to illustrate many of the illusions of marketing, and to instill a willingness to consider breakthrough possibilities.

About the parallels of marketing and magic he says, "I just like to remind people that things are not always as they seem, there's more than meets the eye, that you have to examine conventional wisdom because much of it is just very realistic-looking illusion, and most of all to remind people that they can do the impossible."
