Dan
Kennedy has won international recognition as a
"millionaire-maker," helping people in dozens of
different businesses turn their ideas into fortunes
Entrepreneur Magazine says that Dan
Kennedy has "at least 101 moneymaking ideas for any
business owner."
'Millionaire-Maker' Dan Kennedy
moves with remarkable ease from one very different field
to another, working with clients in 62 different
businesses, industries and professions, earning as much as
$250,000.00 in a single month providing unusual
direct-response advertising and direct marketing advice,
strategy, copywriting and marketing materials, video
production and infomercials, and profit improvement
systems.
Kennedy's clients include everything
from sole entrepreneurs to huge corporations. Here are
just a few examples - there's the husband-and-wife couple
who came to Dan with an idea, a mountain of debt, and
failing advertising. Less than two years later, they have
zero debt and a home-based mail-order business generating
over 200 000.00 a month at about a 40% profit margin. Or,
there's the now-giant Guthy-Renker Corporation, famous for
its celebrity infomercials with Victoria Principal and
Vanna White, and its Tony Robbins infomercials.
Guthy-Renker is a 200-million dollar+ a year business now,
and Dan's been a key member of their brain trust since
their very first infomercial (Think And Grow Rich). Or
there's U.S. Gold, a company that has twice increased its
sales by millions with Dan Kennedy provided marketing
breakthroughs. And the list goes on and on and on.
Kennedy is the "hidden
genius" behind full-page magazine advertisements
you've undoubtedly seen, direct-mail campaigns you've
received and TV infomercials you've seen. In addition to
all the advertising and direct-mail Dan prepares for his
own products, services and businesses, there are hundreds
of clients using marketing materials Dan has prepared for
them. His full-page ads have appeared and do appear in
magazines like Inc., Success, Entrepreneur, Moneymaking
Opportunities, Nations Business, the airline magazines,
the tabloids, USA TODAY, The Wall Street Journal, and
countless trade magazines. One of his client's full-page
ads is now in its 10th consecutive month, appearing in
over a dozen national magazines. In any given month,
clients spend over 1/2-million dollars running ads, much
more mailing sales letters, and still more airing
infomercials that Dan has developed.
And, Dan is one of the most popular,
in-demand speakers on marketing-related topics. Ironically
for a marketing guru, Kennedy gets almost all of his
clients with no marketing! Some come to him after hearing
him speak - in 1995, he addressed over 200,000 people,
including audiences of thousands in many cities, in his
5th year on tour with famous motivationalist ZIG
ZIGLAR. Others come after getting and reading one
of his books available in bookstores, receiving his
newsletter or listening to his cassettes. But most are
referred to him.
KENNEDY'S "NO BS"
APPROACH AGGRAVATES MANY, BUT ENRICHES THOSE WHO ACT ON
HIS ADVICE
Kennedy is not easy to do business
with. He maintains a grueling schedule of speaking,
consulting, writing, managing his own business, and
producing infomercials, so he's rarely in his office,
almost never takes incoming calls - new client-candidates
are usually asked to submit information by FAX before
getting a telephone appointment with him, he's militantly
resistant to having his time wasted and has "fired
clients" on occasion for doing so. He is blunt,
straightforward, and almost totally lacking in diplomacy.
He's also expensive. Most new client
relationships begin with one-day consultations starting at
$7,800.00. Consulting by the hour is usually $850.00. If a
relationship progresses beyond that, he not only gets
fees, he gets royalties tied to the client's revenues
linked to his contributions, for as long as the materials
or systems he provides are used. As a result, Kennedy
routinely gets sizeable royalty checks every month from
many clients, for work he did months or even years ago.
Still, he has a number of clients
who have been with him for as long as ten years, including
some who simply will not make a marketing-related move
without his guidance.
