The interview

What is your background and how did you get involved with this event?

I am Amanda Holmes, CEO of The Ultimate Sales Machine. When I first walked the floor of the biohacking conference, I felt intensely that the businesses in the trade show booths needed their own conference. My company assisted with an event called Business Mastery, and I kept hearing we needed a 'Business Mastery for biohacking.' When Dave Asprey told me he was doing exactly that, I told him 'You need me!' and I've been on stage training the room for the last three days.

Why is this specific business training necessary for the biohacking industry?

The healthcare industry is not able to sustain what is necessary to assist our growing, aging consumer base. We don't have the medical system to support them, so biohackers need to get better at communicating what they do so magnificently so consumers can find them. They need these solutions but don't know where to go or what to look for.

What measurable progress did you see in the participants' sales skills?

In the first 24 hours, we surveyed the room on their confidence in pitching a cold prospect in less than one minute. The room started with a 5.3 score. Within less than 24 hours, that jumped to 8.1, which was a 52.8% increase in confidence that they could clearly articulate how to sell their product.

How is the training structured for the attendees?

It's not just hearing a speaker and writing down notes. We are getting together in groups at the tables, and everyone is giving feedback on each other's pitches. You are learning it, building it, and using it right here in the room. We even held a pitch contest where each table became the top ten consultants in the semifinals.

Have you seen any immediate business results from the attendees?

I'm hearing strategic partnerships happening because they've better articulated what they do. One gentleman I loved sent an email between the first and second day and generated seven leads. We're generating leads and creating partnerships that can last, and we haven't even finished the event yet.

What was the atmosphere and speaker engagement like at the event?

I am shocked at how many of the speakers have stayed all three days. Usually, speakers fly in and fly out, but here they are sticking around for other speakers and are available. I've never seen Dave more available than he's been here at the Business of Biohacking; it is remarkable.

Frequently asked

Can biohackers learn to communicate their value to mainstream consumers?

Yes. Amanda Holmes observed that while biohackers do magnificent work, they often struggle to communicate it; however, through structured pitch training at the event, participants learned to clearly articulate their value to cold prospects in under 60 seconds.

Is the Business of Biohacking event just passive listening?

No, it is highly interactive. Amanda Holmes notes that participants don't just write notes; they get into groups at tables to give feedback on each other's pitches, building and using the skills right in the room.

How accessible are the speakers and Dave Asprey at the event?

Amanda Holmes expressed shock at the accessibility, noting that speakers stayed for all three days rather than flying out after their sets, and stated she had never seen Dave Asprey more available than at this event.

Full transcript

Hello, Amanda Holmes here from Tampa, Florida. I am CEO of The Ultimate Sales Machine. When I first was introduced with biohacking conference, I walked the floor and I just thought, this conference needs a conference for the businesses that are here in the trade show booths. And it was so intensely, just screaming in my head. For me, my company assisted with an event called business mastery so I kept hearing, we need a business mastery for biohacking. We need a business mastery for biohacking, so when Dave told me, I'm doing like, a business mastery for biohacking, literally, the words that were repeating in my head, I heard out of his mouth and I vomited out "You need me!" From that moment on, we started having dialogues and for the last three days, I've been on stage every day training the room and it is a dream come true. It just felt divinely guided that we needed this. I know that the healthcare industry is not able to sustain what is necessary to assist our consumers, especially our growing consumers that are getting older. We don't have the medical system to support them so biohackers need to get better at being able to communicate what they do so magnificently so that the consumer can find them because they need them. They just don't understand where to go or what to look for so it's been an honor and a privilege to be able to be a part of the Business of Biohacking. At Business of Biohacking, in the first 24 hours, we surveyed the room on how confident they felt about pitching. If they could talk to a cold prospect and get them to take action in less than 1 minute and from the room, we got a 5.3 score of confidence, which is not that confident. Within less than 24 hours, that jumped to 8.1, which was a 52.8% increase in confidence that they could clearly articulate how to sell their product to somebody that is a completely cold prospect. To me, that is a huge win and progress and not only are the individuals learning it, we're getting together in groups, in the tables, and everyone is giving feedback on each other's pitches so that it's not just hearing a speaker "Okay, I'm writing down the notes." you are learning it, you're building it, and you're using it right here in the room. I'm hearing strategic partnerships happening because they've better articulated what they do and what sets them apart than ever before. A gentleman I loved from the first day to the second, he sent an email and generated seven leads, which was great, right? We're generating leads, we're creating partnerships that can last and we haven't even gotten to day three yet. I don't even know what's going to happen tomorrow. Who knows? But I do know that I'll be on stage with Dave, and we will be testing people's pitches in front of the whole room. We took all of the participants, and each table became the top ten consultants in the semifinals of the pitch contest. Tomorrow will be the top six, and we will crown the winner of the pitch contest and that's just been so thrilling. The opportunity to completely change your life is possible in less than 60 seconds and these pitches, I've heard every one of them, and they are top notch. I actually cried in multiple of them because I was so moved by how clear, concise, and just remarkable the kind of businesses that are in this room. I mean, you want to be surrounded by the other participants. You also want to be surrounded by the people that Dave has brought here. I am shocked at how many of the speakers have stayed all three days. I am a speaker. I know. We fly in, we fly out. Here, It's not the case. They're flying in, they're sticking around for the other speakers, they're available. I've never seen Dave more available than he's been here at the Business of Biohacking, it is remarkable.
