Philip Calvert’s Summary

I'm a professional speaker on sales and online communication skills. I speak at conferences and seminars on how businesses can boost sales results through improved face-to-face and online communication skills.

I help companies and sales people to use seminars and social networking sites like Ecademy, LinkedIn, Facebook and others to win more business through more effective communications to groups and online communities.

I'm also the author of 'Successful Seminar Selling', an acclaimed marketing book which helps businesses to communicate and sell through seminars. See www.seminarsellingexpert.com.

I can add further value by:

Providing a high-energy opening and close
Acting as MC to reinforce your event theme
Moderating panel discussions and managing audience questions
Delivering short, motivational introductions to breakout sessions
Coaching executives and delegates in professional networking techniques
Summing up conference speeches and closing the event powerfully

Clients say:

"Just wanted to say thanks for the talk last night - several people who haven't missed an event in 18 months have universally declared you to be the best speaker we've had so far. Your talk encouraged so much active networking afterwards that I had a hard job getting everyone to go home." Ann Hawkins - Inspirational Speakers

"I fully expect to look back in 5 years time and regard my first contact with Philip as a major milestone in my life. One week later and I have already gained an incredible amount of knowledge. Fantastic!" Chris Kelly, Hanson Wealth Management
