My name is Dan Lievens. I'm the CEO and founder of Share One.

The first day she had us do this little quiz in terms of how comfortable are you pitching in front of a stadium, and I think I was maybe at a 2.

She put out this really, really blunt challenge and she said, 'Hey, anybody in the room that can show me that they used the stadium pitch to get results will get $100.'

How did you implement the training and what were the immediate results?

I went home and emailed my stadium pitch to 900 of our prospects at 9:30 at night, and by the time I woke up at 6:30 in the morning, I had seven positive responses with one lead that I never thought would have become a client.

How did your confidence change by the end of the program?

On day three, when she put that quiz back up again, I was at a solid 10.

What was your takeaway as a marketing professional?

I'm the CEO of a marketing company and I thought that I knew my pitch, I thought I knew my messaging, but the amazing Amanda Holmes really made a huge difference and the way she teaches it, and her demeanor, her philosophy, and all the exercises has been absolutely tremendous.
