David DeFord’s Summary
I help entrepreneurs, independent professionals, and sales executives who have big dreams and tiny budgets.
My clients enjoy tremendous business growth as they learn to focus on first things first. I help them achieve their long-held goals.
My audiences and clients come away from my presentations with useful tips and strategies to help them attract more referrals and sales. They learn how to make their entire networking experience delightful for themselves and for their contacts.
I do this through entertaining training classes for organizations, public workshops, and speeches. I promise fresh information presented in an entertaining style.
I'm an award-winning speaker with hundreds of speeches under my belt. I received the Advanced Communicator award from Toastmasters International and am a member of the National Speakers Association.
I have ten published books on personal development themes.
I'm also an independent representative and strong advocate for SendOutCards.
