Keynote Address with Michael Port Join us outside on the courtyard in sunny Miami Beach Saturday, November 15th 3-5pm Book Yourself Solid™: All the Clients Your Heart Desires A special event at this year's conference: A keynote presentation from Michael Port, a former fitness executive turned author of three bestselling books on how to get more clients and build bigger, better businesses. Called a "Marketing Guru" by the Wall Street Journal, Michael will reveal his easy-to-follow roadmap for starting and growing a fitness business that works: 94% of clients who have used the Book Yourself Solid™ system in Michael's live seminars have increased their revenues by over 42% within the first year alone. Even so, it's so much more than an ordinary 'how-to' manual for getting more clients and raising a business profile. Michael will draw you into a journey of self-discovery which leads to a major and necessary shift in thinking about marketing and sales - that if you feel called to share a message - your work - it's because there are people in the world who are meant to receive it. The proven methods Michael teaches have helped thousands of fitness professionals realize their dreams. Michael Port is the author of three national bestselling books: 1) Book Yourself Solid: The Fastest, Easiest, and Most Reliable System for Getting More Clients Than You Can Handle Even If You Hate Marketing and Selling 2) Beyond Booked Solid: Your Business, Your Life, Your Way--It's All Inside and 3: The Contrarian Effect: Why It Pays (BIG) To Take Typical Sales Advice and Do The Opposite. As a speaker, Michael has headlined events with business leaders like Tim Ferriss, Seth Godin, Carly Fiorina, and Tony Robbins. Beach Olympics!
