Dana Smithers teaching workshopPresentations That Sell YOU!

Are you ready to expand your marketing to include group talks to home owners, sellers and realtors but lack the confidence to try it?

Would you like to have a No-Fail Template to create a talk for 2 to 1000s of people?

If you answered 'YES' then this is a course you NEED to take! Learn from a ex-Sales Manager and professional speaker & trainer 'Staging Guru' expert Dana J. Smithers. She is also the author of Do-It-Yourself Home Staging for Selling and Creating Curb Appeal that Sells! Her new ebook Do-It-Yourself Home Staging for Living was released in the Fall 2009.

Thank You for putting US (your class) 'on Stage' yesterday at the Presentations Pt.1 course. It makes me, ever more now, really appreciate the talent of presenters such as yourself. I'll be taking notes from a different angle to future speaking events I attend. I enjoyed it all...the venue, the class, the course, and the goodies too, as well as the healthy dose of great information you shared with us yesterday! Thanks again for a very fun and informative 'presentation'!

Creating Presentations that Sell You!

Most people are naturally uncomfortable making a presentation for the first time. If you are properly trained and have excellent materials to work from presenting can actually be a lot of fun. Some of the highlights of this course will be her tried-and-true templates and tips on creating lasting connections with your audience. If you are not using the 'funnel system' of selling you need to be!

I appreciate the forms and the presenter notes to assist me in my preparing to give a successful talk. With a lot of work in preparation I will be ready for success!

I had a lot of fun while I learned colour principles. Working with other students in "hands on" exercises made the information make sense. I will enter a colour consultation with much more confidence in my ability to give my client the best advice.
Love Dana's energy, professionalism, confidence and expertise. I am in awe of her knowledge and creativity. Her presentations are always chock full of information and fun. The hands on exercises were very invaluable!
Part of the fun of taking a course is meeting new people and interacting. Hands on courses are always good for learning and make the course fun. It allows you to learn from the instructor and your team mates.
If I knew learning was going to be so much FUN I would have done this a long time ago. Great class and love the participation.
