Besides having delivered over 2,500 professional development keynotes and training programs to help Leaders and Teams get along better with customers and co-workers by improving their communication, emotional intelligence, interpersonal relationship, people and presentation skills, I have also worked with people from all professions who want to start their own speaking, training and coaching practices.
Almost every time I deliver a program, someone asks, "How can I do what you do?" and "What does it take to become a speaker, trainer, and coach?"
For over 15 years, I have been helping people to start their own part-time, full time, or 'side hustle' speaking, training, and coaching businesses.
If you want a one to one, step by step, coaching and mentoring program and system that has helped people learn the business, drastically cut their learning curve, saved them lots of money and helped them get on the fast track, my Speaking, Training and Coaching Mentoring program is for you.
"The best money I ever spent to invest in myself as a speaker was hiring you as a coach" Michael Chaleff, Attorney

"My income has increased three times in the short time that I have been working with you" Ronald P. Culberson, LCSW, CSP, CPAE, 2012-2013 President of the National Speakers Association
"
Thank you for the amazing training/consulting day in Los Angeles. I very much enjoyed it. I am just sorry I didn't meet you 20 years earlier," Dorit Ilani, Ph.D.
"I was new in the speaking business and didn't know where to start. Early on, I made a smart decision. I hired Arnie Sanow to help me get started. It was the best move I made! Arnie coached me through the fundamentals of the business, marketing, contracts, and more. As my business has grown, I've continued to work with Arnie to enhance my marketing strategy and tactics. He's my not so secret weapon" Shelley Row, P.E. MBA, CSP, President National Capital Speakers Association
"I have been speaking full time for over 15 years, and one of the best things I ever did was hire Arnold Sanow as a coach
"
Ray Stractbein, Past President of the National Speakers Association, DC chapter
"I left Arnold Sanow's class feeling that he's given me a jump start on my career. His talk was brimming with practical advice, and it's advice that speakers can put into effect immediately.On top of that, his genial delivery makes you feel that he, REALLY, REALLY cares about you and wants you to succeed" Mrs. Frank Perdue (Mitzi Perdue)
I have been a full-time speaker for over 30 years, with more than 2,500 PAID presentations to over 500 companies, associations, and governmental agencies.
In addition to having a successful speaking, training and coaching business, I have been working with and coaching/mentoring speakers, trainers, coaches, and consultants to get them on the fast track to building and growing their own part-time, full time and side hustle businesses.
The speaking, training, and coaching business is not an easy business to start and maintain. In these challenging, changing, and competitive times you must have a coach/mentor who knows what works, what doesn't, and who has "been there, done that."
Although others may offer you advice, ask them this simple question,"Have you done this before?" If yes, learn all you can from them. If not, ignore the advice of others, unless they have been where you want to go.
Don't be fooled; many people may proclaim to be a speaking business coach. Do they have a solid track record? ; Are they booking 100 ++ paid presentations a year? Are they living the lifestyle you want to live? And are they making the money you want to make?
I will take the guesswork out of running a speaking, training, and coaching business and be your accountability coach to make sure things get done. We will focus on your needs, challenges, and concerns with real-life, practical, simple to understand, and easy to implement solutions. Plus, I will share everything; nothing will be left out!!
"Thanks for all your help. It has made a HUGE difference and will affect what I do for the rest of my career". Steven Gaffney, CSP, NSA Million Dollar Speakers Club
"To Mr. Marketing, without you and your mentoring program, neither my business or this book would be a reality." Robin Webb, Author of Pynch of Thyme
"Thank you so much for your help and support with my new speaking and coaching business. I can't tell you how helpful your coaching sessions have been in helping me structure my thinking around my business structure and speech topics. Thanks." Lori Nicolson
"Arnold, thank you for working with me to launch my speaking, training, and coaching business. Because of your valuable advice and counsel to grow, I already see results! I have already booked a high fee speaking and coaching opportunity!" Wendy King
"Arnold, your advice works! Business is coming to us
---
In fact, three speakers bureaus just requested information on my services." Rick Mauer
I am offering you an affordable and specific, easy to understand and proven system to provide you with the guidance you'll need to feel comfortable and confident in all aspects of this lucrative, fun and exciting business.
My program helps you focus by determining who you are, where you want to go, and what specific steps are necessary to get there. I will help develop a customized step by step, easy to understand, and real-life strategy with a road map tailored to your unique needs.
I also realize that everyone is different, and no one system works for everyone. Every person has a unique combination of background, expertise, style, and goals. I will help you reach your goals with a tailored program customized for you.
"Thank you again for everything. We feel with 100% certainty that investing in your services was the absolute right decision! I fully believe that things are going to move rather quickly from here on out. You are changing our lives
!"
Dave Massey
Although there are plenty of books, seminars, and resources about building a speaking and training practice, these alone can't compare to a "live" expert who is available for you when daily concerns like presentation skills, pricing, proposals, networking, reviewing materials or other concerns arise.
And as your profitability and accountability coach, you will never be alone!
"
I want to thank you again for a great session. You really have a gift - for turning a seemingly average opportunity into something magical (i.e., more dollars
)"
Mark Sincevich
"I am following your advice and your step-by-step workbook, and I already have booked several speaking engagements. Thank you!"
Roz Trieber
You can call, text, skype, or email me as much as you want and even every day if you wish. Some clients call daily, others weekly, and some at our scheduled meetings. I promise always to be approachable, eager to speak with you, and willing to get back within the day.
I will also act as an agent for you. I get many requests from those looking for speakers and trainers, and I refer the people in my mentoring and coaching program first!
"Many thanks for an excellent work session! You gave me so many great ideas to spark my speaking business. I was impressed by your wealth of information. My time with you was well spent." Rick Buckingham
This investment is low enough for anyone serious about building a business and high enough to show me your commitment to making this business work for you. Plus, it is easy to make your money back through increased business and higher fees. In fact, for many people, your investment will be paid back in one or two speaking engagements.
"What do you say to someone who has given you the tools to help others while allowing you to increase your income dramatically? Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Ronald Baras
In my one to one six months master program and system, I will work with you on an ongoing basis. You are never alone! You can email and call me as much as you want. I promise to have an answer for you every time.

"Warmest Regards, Cheryl Frank., J.D., CPA. Author of "How To Survive An IRS Attack"
I am only working with a few people in this program, as it can be very time-consuming. Admission is limited, and it is on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you want to stop wasting time, money, energy, and making costly mistakes, this program is for you.
"Arnold's coaching/mentoring program is like getting an MBA in the speaking/training business. It was an excellent investment. He provided me with tips, tools, contacts, resources, and real-life solutions to get my business on the fast track. I especially liked his ongoing 1 to 1 coaching. I was never alone. He was always available and got back to me promptly with any questions or concerns. If you are looking for an easy to understand and implement step–by–step road map from a super successful speaker/trainer who will share everything, Arnold is the right choice! Carson Tate, CPO, President Living Simply and Working Simply
Here are the options;

This program will provide you with an accountability partner to make sure you stay on track, a step by step road map, marketing strategies, materials and resources, common questions and concerns answered and everything else listed in this document. Some of the reasons why the six-month unlimited program will work for you include:
·
You will have an accountability partner to make sure you keep on
track and get things done.
·
You are never alone. One of the reasons people fail is they don’t have a partner who knows the ropes who can save them time, money and frustration. It’s like having your own employee at a fraction of the cost.
·
There is a cap on your investment. There are no surprises, and you know exactly what is to be spent. There will never be a debate about what is billable.
·
There is never a "meter" running. You can contact me anytime
and not have to worry that you will be charged for every minute,
hour, day, or week.
· It's
hard to know how long it will take for everything we must do to make you succeed. I will spend as much time as necessary to
get you on the right track.
·
The value-based flat fee coaching is the most comfortable and most convenient way to work together. There will never be a debate
about what is billable.
. If you need to stop the coaching for any reason, we can put a hold on the time left until you are ready to start again.
The investment for the value-based unlimited access program is $15,000 for six months and can be done by zoom. There are no other expenses and if necessary there will be one trip to your location anywhere in the USA or Canada. Prices and costs vary for overseas.

"I am so happy that we're working together - you're instrumental to my success. I have learned so much from you already and can't wait to learn more. Thank you for being a part of my team!" Colleen Vossler, Vossler Negotiations
"Arnold, I couldn't have built my business without you! I am well on my way, and through every step, you have been approachable, available, responsive, and, most of all, you know all the dos and don'ts of the speaking and training business. You are a great coach and mentor," Steve Weber, aka "Forest Gump."
I am always happy to talk with you to see if working together makes sense for you. My coaching and mentoring is not a "get rich quick scheme" but a program and system to build a solid foundation to grow a sustainable business. I will provide you with the pros and cons of my program. I am not out to "hard sell" my coaching program and system if it is not right for you, and there is not a real good chance for your success.
Working with speakers, trainers, and consultants is a passion of mine. My goal is to make the fee low enough for you to afford and high enough to make sure there is a high level of commitment.
"Thank you for all of your help during the past year. You are terrific, and your support has been outstanding. You are an excellent coach. You are always upbeat, sincere, and professional.

"I was recently talking to other speakers (NSA-VA) about how to sort through and make sense of all the offers from people who work with speakers. I told them that my investment with you ten years ago (!) made all the difference in my business, and I think about and do things you taught me all the time. Thanks for being part of my success" Susan Trivers

"I love that you walk your talk! Follow-up is a key component of business success. It will take me a while to digest all that you have said, but I already have a few baby steps. First, I contacted an attorney to work on a licensing agreement and make sure that I have protected my I.P. And second, I have sent follow-up emails to the business cards that I had collected in my suit pocket. Trying out Constant Contact is next. I enjoyed our session and have a lot of ideas to implement. I expect our first meeting will not be our last!" Cheers - Jennifer H. Elder, CPA, CMA, CIA, CFF, CGMA, MS
"Arnold Sanow is a dream coach for someone wanting to start and grow a speaking business. I interviewed several coaches before Arnold and was not satisfied. Arnold is a very successful speaker who coaches because he genuinely cares about helping others. This is reflected in several ways: His fees are reasonable and affordable. He listens and is gently honest in his responses. He helped me look at the topics I really want to talk about, and helped me answer the question, "Is this marketable? Who will buy this? How can you reach them?" And he responds to my phone and email questions with wit and wisdom. As long as Arnold is coaching speakers, he will be my coach. I strongly recommend that you explore this with him - he'll be straight with you about whether or not he thinks it will work. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have as you make your decision." Terry Nicoletti
"It's Thanksgiving week, so that is the perfect time to say, along with Hamlet, "I humbly thank you, sir." I learned so much in our time together! Thank you for everything. It was a game-changing meeting for me. I'd be delighted to give you a reference or anything else that would be helpful." Carol Ann Lloyd
