A marketing tool I created

35. First I want to
share some
information on
why it is so hard to
connect with
Influencers

36. We are inundated with
messages – email, social
media, informational
messages

37. 144.8 Billion
Emails are sent
every day

38. 11.2 hours: time
spent per week
reading and
responding to email

39. But here’s the good news…

40. If you are sincere and honest
and open, there are more
opportunities (and tools) for
connecting with VIPs than ever
before in human history.

41. AND it’s easier
than ever to
turn those
relationships
into income

42. I want to share with you a
story…

43. I was a chubby 13-
year-old with little
focus or direction

46. Flash forward 10 years…

47. At 20 years old, I was an early
employee of DreamWorks, working
for Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey
Katzenberg & David Geffen

48. At 23 years old, I landed my
“dream job” as a Writer in the
Clinton White House

49. I was on the fast track
to a career in politics,
becoming a
speechwriter for a
Presidential
candidate… maybe
running for Congress
one day

50. After the White
House, I went to
work as a
speechwriter to the
Governor of
California

51. Things were going great:
the Governor got reelected to
another 4-year term.

52. Working in politics was
good to me – I got to
meet amazing
people.

53. I had just met a girl and bought
my first house.
Life was great.

54. Then one day, it all came crumbling
down

55. A little action movie
star by the name of
Arnold
Schwarzenegger
decided to throw his
hat in the Recall
Election… and the rest
was history.

56. I was terminated by the Terminator

58. There was a silver lining:
I was able to get a job immediately.

59. And it worked out with the girl…

60. We now have
two kids.

61. The experience
taught me the
importance of
building strong
relationships and a
large network

62. BUILDING STRONG RELATIONSHIPS
with the right people is the #1 thing you can do
to be successful in business

63. “Succeeding in business is all
about making connections. It's
all about personal contact.
You need to get out and about,
meeting people and developing
relationships.”
- Sir Richard Branson
(Net worth: $4.6 Billion)

64. So here’s what we’re going to cover
today

65. 1. How I Went from “Terminated” to Six Figures
2. Examples of Others Making 6-7 Figures a Year by
Connecting with VIPs
3. 5-Step Process for Creating “Cold Emails” that
Stand Out From the Crowd
4. Screenshots, good & bad examples
5. Q&A at the end
Agenda

66. How I went from “Terminated” to
Six Figures+ per year…

67. After I lost my job in the
California Recall Election,
I decided to “reboot” and go back to law school

68. I paid my dues,
working for other law
firms.

69. I was working my butt off,
60+ hour weeks

70. I was
miserable.

71. I didn’t see my family.
I hated it.

72. The problem was: I was not building
a network. I relied on my bosses’
network.
I wasn’t thinking like an entrepreneur.

73. I decided to apply the relationship-
building skills I had honed in politics
to building my network in business.
That’s when everything changed.

74. I took the leap –
to start my
own
business.

75. I opened my doors
and all my
relationship-building
paid off...

76. My first month, I made over 3X
what I made at my previous job.

77. In under 3 years,
I made over $500,000.

78. Profiled in Forbes and in books

79. It all happened because
I built a network of VIPs
who mattered to my
career.

80. It happened because I
know how to email and
connect with VIPs.

I recently met up with a candidate for mayor
in my hometown. He was quite impressed by

long term connection I can build upon.”
