Speaking
Fred Berns presents programs to the interior design industry, and to associations, corporations, franchise organizations and other groups on how to use personal promotion to achieve peak sales and profits. Attendees walk away from his keynotes and seminars with what they need to know to differentiate themselves and their organizations, communicate with confidence, and sell themselves as well as their services.
Fred’s programs are based on his best-selling book, Sell Yourself! 501 Ways to Get Them to Buy from YOU. The book, a blow-your-horn, toot-your-flute success manual, is one of several business-building products that he has developed.
Sell Yourself!
The Speech
“You’re too good to be your own best kept secret.”
That’s the theme of this enlightening, entertaining keynote on how to overcome self-doubt and accentuate your positives. Find out what it takes to become an inner winner – and a powerful self-promoter. Discover how to take credit where credit is due, and promote it when you get it. This uplifting presentation turns strivers into arrivers and “wannabees” into winners.
The Seminar
A roll-up-your-sleeves training program designed to help professionals add polish to their sales presentations, and use self promotion to differentiate themselves from competitors, overcome price objections, close sales, and master other basic sales skills. Learn how to turn contacts into contracts and establish long term relationships, and how to make yourself memorable and to add power to your personal sale.

Seminars
Million Dollar Marketing – What you need to know to make a maximum impact for a minimal investment of time and money. It’s “smart marketing” at its best!
Set and Get Higher Fees –

differentiate yourself from those who charge or request less.
