Marilyn August, author of Wealthy U and founder of Wealth & Wisdom Seminars, speaks with the passion of personal experience and the expertise of over 18 years training and facilitating business success. Her leading-edge, insightful presentations teach commissioned sales people and business owners how to maximize productivity by changing the way they think about money. She delivers dynamic, imaginative and insightful presentations based on her Seven Sacred Lessons for Wealth & Wisdom. Her presentations encompass little-known techniques that blast through and eliminate hidden blocks to financial success.

Marilyn tackles the subject of inner game of money in a unique, humorous program that has the audience laughing at the ridiculous, hidden money attitudes that have held them back. The lighthearted presentation gets to the heart of the sales process by showing the audience how to eliminate scattered, non-productive activities so they increases their lead generation and conversion rates.

"The problem with money," August says, "is that it's wrapped in myths, beliefs and superstitions that substantially affect income potential."

"Tackling the Last Taboo: Money", Los Angeles Times, 1/18/95

MONEY is the core of every sales transaction. Yet, money remains a taboo subject not discussed in polite company, leaving most salespeople mystified when it comes to money objections. They are reluctant to ask the money question.

• When do I talk about their budget?
• Do I shave my price points/commission to get the deal?
• What do I say if money sounds like a genuine objection?

Ms. August discusses the sensitive question of money head-on. She is an expert in the !psychology of money," uncovering and debunking the emotional hooks that keep otherwise hard working sales people from going "OVER-the-EDGE" in their production. People leave this program with information, techniques, and mind-set that improves and sustains higher close ratios.

"We appreciate the insight you gave on such a timely subject. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the presentation."

Linda Cox, Chairperson, American Society of Women Accountants

At the heart of every transaction is a MONEY conversation - an exchange of documents, signatures and dollars for a perceived value. Yet, worn out moldy money myths and attitudes continue to make talking directly and openly about money uncomfortable for most people.

Have you ever wondered?

• Why the same sales people are productive over and over again?
• Why the big one falls through the cracks at the last minute?
• Why it's so easy to do free consulting rather than get paid?

The answer to these questions and most other mysteries about closing the deal are found in the money conversation you have with yourself. Once internal negative self-talk is discovered and exposed for the "head trash," these hidden messages disappear no longer having the power to control your income potential.

"From the group participation during your presentation and the positive comments I read afterward, it was apparent that the luncheon was a success."

Joyce Riddell, President, Huntington Beach, CA Chamber of Commerce

Enjoy a light-hearted, yet pragmatic overview of hidden and often destructive, outdated attitudes and beliefs about money. The audience discovers that much of what has been taught about money is filled with negative misconceptions about its uses and abuses. Fearful, negative money records (head trash) are replaced with purposeful action plan for increasing productivity. The audience is inspired with a newfound understanding of their unlimited wealth potential.

This program is for general audiences who have a strong desire to improve their financial well-being and is particularly well suited for direct marketing organizations.

"It is refreshing to have someone of your talents and creative ability participate as a guest speaker. You blew in like a breath of fresh air."

Carol A. Madel, Program Chair, South Coast Business & Professional Women

This inspiring thirty to forty minute presentation motivates and encourages the audience to take the next steps in their businesses. It moves them to a greater appreciation of the difference they make in the world. Using the "Blue Ribbon" story, this inspiration speech discusses how passion, planning, pricing and peace of mind all work together to enhance prosperity not only for oneself, but to share with others

The speech is particularly effective for charitable and community organizations fund raising events.

"Marilyn, you have a gift for getting people to think differently about money. After hearing you speak, I immediately went home and did the exercise you suggested. That new outlook really opened up doors for me. In fact, I added an anchor client that more than doubled what I make on a monthly basis. I accomplished more in the next three months than I had in the past year. Thanks to you I have a better understanding of money."

Henry DeVries, New Client Marketing Institute
