Dear Speaker,
|
Peter Fogel should KNOW about making audiences LAUGH! He’s been doing it for over 25 years and has either worked or appeared on over 14 programs such as “Married With Children”, “Hope and Faith” with Kelly Ripa and “Whoopi” with Whoopi Goldberg. He has also shared the stage with Robin Williams, Ray Romano, and Jon Stewart. In the business world he who is an in demand advertising copywriter, speaker and seminar leader who has given presentations across the country for conferences and at major corporations. He is also the author of the book, “If Not Now… Then When? Stories and Strategies of People Over 40 Who Has Successfully Reinvented Themselves! He is also a proud member of the National Speakers Association. "I would just like to say Peter’s presentation was simply outstanding… Peter has an extraordinary way of quickly engaging an audience… and drawing them into the world of entertainment and communication — of which he is a master… Peter’s presence amongst an audience is electric, immediately drawing them with his classic NY humor… and having gained their trust educating them in the most extraordinary way about advertising communications. If you want to take your communications to the next level than I highly recommend that you meet with Peter J. Fogel.” “Peter Fogel did a seminar for some of my top clients and students and he WOWed us all! The presentation was fun, upbeat, interesting and his delivery style helped us learn in an educational and entertaining way. His seminar was tops.” “Peter Fogel delivered strong content in his presentation that was definitely refreshing, intelligent, and humorous. It was a strong combination. I definitely learned a lot." "Peter's humor had us all in stitches and was only one of many traits that made his presentation unique! It was truly wondrous to be given so much useful information in such a gleeful manner! Made the learning fun, easy and effortless! Best of all, I know all of us now have specific steps to take to use Peter's knowledge for truly magnificent results! Thank you Peter - for your information, your laughter and your practicality!" “There's nothing better than laughing and having a good time when you are learning something. Peter Fogel does just that: he nails the points he makes home with ingenious wit and good-natured humor. He is NOT your ordinary speaker-- and that's a good thing! I actually learned things from him that I immediately put to use! And that what it’s all about.”

When you deliver presentation with heavy content, do you see your audience sometimes nod off with zzzz’s coming out of their mouths?
Do you feel you are missing that important ingredient – the “X” factor that keeps your audience engaged and energized throughout your speech?
Do you think if you could correctly infuse humor into your presentation, you could get MORE engagements… HIGHER evaluation forms… and HIGHER fees? (CHA-CHING!)
And most of all…
Do think you have to be a comedian on stage
to get BIG laughs from your audience?
Well, if you answered yes to any of the questions and are really serious about using public speaking to give you another income stream, to increase your customer base, or to sell more products or services in your present career, then please play close attention to this letter.
Because I am going to give you the necessary tools that can help give you an in-demand speaking career!
First off, it’s ABSOLUTELY necessary that I dispel a misconception you might have. Here it is:
You do NOT have to be a comedian to get laughs
on stage… but you do have to “think” like one.
Just give me eight minutes right now to prove it, and I promise this will all make sense to you.
For now, I want you to see yourself getting ready to give an important speech in front of an audience; an audience whose response could impact your business, your credentials, and in fact, your whole career.
You’ve been preparing for weeks… just for this one day!
And get this: “Your” audience took valuable time out of their lives to get into their cars and drove over to hear you speak!
Is this an ego-booster or what? They all entered this particular banquet room, on this particular night, to get inspired, to hear your pearls of wisdom, or to absorb your “specialized knowledge” that will undoubtedly improve their lives or help make their businesses flourish!
BUT here’s the challenge: Before you bound onto the stage there is another speaker. He, too, is an expert in his field!
An author/celebrity, in fact. Impeccably dressed… impressive credentials… This audience came to hear this expert speak, as well.
So much so, you could hear the buzz in the crowd even before he went up on the stage…
“I have all his books!”
“I read all his articles!”
“This is so exciting; I heard he helped turn around a company and increased their bottom line by 40%.”
And what happens? For the next 45 minutes this author, “the big shot” speaker, droned on and on (beat) and on… with weak, boring stories…
He doused his audience with such heavy duty content along with mundane, dry statistics, the listener’s eyes collectively rolled back into their skulls.
Welcome to the “The BOMB ZONE!” … “STINKERSVILLE” … “THE SNOOZATORIUM! Speaker “Expert #1” exits to ho-hum, obligatory, weak applause at best!
It’s show time and now your turn to be introduced by the host/emcee. As you hop excitedly onto the platform you can tell the ENERGY in the room is depleted.
You are sure of it, because in the front row you just heard one audience member comment to the other…
“God, he better be better than the first one.”
“You’re tellin’ me!”
But it doesn’t faze you. No, sir! You take the microphone and confidently deliver one of the best speeches you had ever given in your life!
The audience is AWAKE (and forgetting speaker #1, I might add!)
They listen intently as you tell your captivating stories and pause at the right time in your speech for more emphasis and greater impact!
Congratulations - You Are in “The Speakers Zone!”
Now you merge into different voices to show off your array of characters—characters that tell your story.
Just then (as you rehearsed it), you raise your eyebrow to add emphasis to your punch-line, and just like delivering an upper cut, it lands perfectly and the audience LOVES it and LAUGHS hysterically…
Then it happens: The LAUGHTER turns into APPLAUSE (every speaker’s delight!) You think to yourself, “WOW! It worked… it really worked… that was easy.” You can’t believe your good fortune!
What’s going on? Why are you right on the money with this speech?
How are you blowing that other speaker
off the stage
(and probably out of the room?)
More importantly, what was “your secret” to WAKING up this audience and keeping them alert and excited during YOUR presentation for the next 60 minutes!? Of course, you know the answer.
You, you smart speaker, effectively used
humor in your presentation to make an
indelible, positive
impression on your audience!
Thoughts are swirling in your head as you leave to a STANDING-OVATION! (Yes, it happens! Good for you!)
But you think, “Was I really successful in my presentation… did I really make a difference?” Well, the audience crowding around you at the back of the room buying your books and products seem to say emphatically, “YES!”
All because you knew the secret to
keeping an audience on the edge of the
seats just like the pros do!
As I hopefully just showed you (and perhaps experienced yourself) audiences will forgive a lot of negative things happening to speakers … dropped note cards… lights going out… even a failed speaker system…
But, it’s a FACT! YOUR listeners will never, ever, ever forgive a BORING presentation!
How do I know? Well, my thirty years of doing stand-up comedy on late night comedy shows, in Las Vegas show rooms, audience warm-up on major sitcoms… not to mention giving keynote speeches to major corporations across the country, has shown me that…
If your audience is LAUGHING—
Then they’re LISTENING!
Hi, I am Peter Fogel. My clients call me “The Reinvention Guy!” Why? Because I can help “reinvent” their businesses and their speaking careers to new levels of performance and profitability.
Know this: Improve the performance and undoubtedly the profits will follow!
I know it’s true because I’ve done it over and over again throughout my own career as well as coaching other entrepreneurs, speakers and consultants with theirs!
And now I want to show you how to effectively use humor correctly that will undoubtedly boost any presentation you give!
Ask Yourself Right Now:
Do You REALLY Want to Take Your
Public
Speaking to the Next Level?
For a long time I have watched boring speakers take the stage and thought, “God, no doubt they have great knowledge and good platform presence, but they are boring the you-know-what out of their audience because they aren’t using any humor!”
PLUS if they do attempt humor, it’s a feeble attempt at best!
This is why it’s not just fate that brought you to this letter. And if you are still reading right now, this tells me something about you.
It tells me you are really interested in becoming a damn good speaker and taking your performance to the NEXT level.
A LEVEL that can bring you MORE recognition from speakers’ bureaus (and associations) … MORE recognition within your niche industry… MORE recognition that makes you the go-to sales person, author, consultant, service professional your targeted audience (hint: CLIENTS) will go to time after time! |
And the one thing that gives you “the edge” over other speakers is to effectively INFUSE humor into every speech or presentation you give!
Just like when you drink a can of RED BULL to BOOST your body’s energy, adding HUMOR to your speech or presentation ENERGISES your performance and lifts your audience’s excitement.
As you read my words you are no doubt wondering, “Me... use humor in presentations? But I am NOT a comedian.”
Well, stow your fears in the overhead bin of your psyche!
Because I am here to tell you right off the bat: If you have a sense of humor (and I know you do) and if you bring the right spirit to your performance, YOU can easily deliver humor in any speech!
How can I be so sure? Well, if you have ever told a funny story to your friends in a relaxed atmosphere (let’s say over drinks or dinner) and they LAUGHED… then guess what?
You can (with my help) learn to transfer that skill and deliver
the right brand of humor at the right time… to the right
audience… during your speech!
Make no mistake: I can show you 100% how to “think” like a comedian (without having to be one.) I know I can because I have helped others “release their funny bone.”
It always amuses me when people have the skills to do this, and they’re just being held back by fear!
I’ve heard countless stories of folks who are scared of trying to be funny in front of strangers, but just put them in front of their friends and they become – Yeeeeeeeeee haah! -- the life of the party!
Well, guess what? I am going to show you, from A to Z,
how to make your audience your friend from the moment
you bound onto the stage!
I am going to break down “The Secret” of how Ray Romano, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart and many professional speakers and humorists come up with their routines.
Not only that, but I am going to reveal and explain in detail the same techniques they use that will enable you— yes, YOU - to “think” like a comedian!
Need proof? Well, here is a perfect example.
Last night, I was on an entertainer’s showcase where buyers are looking for entertainers for their season. I was the only comedian. Apart from me, the whole line-up consisted of singing impressionists.
Anyway, on this night every singing impressionist did SAMMY DAVIS JR. In the history of show business, I don’t think there have been 12 singing impressionist who all-did-the-same-impression. It was unreal!
Out of 12 performers, I was the 10th performer to go on. When I was introduced, I quickly grabbed the microphone and said to my audience:
“Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to a Night of
a 1000 Sammy Davis Jr. Impressions!”
HUGE laugh from the AUDIENCE (but I wasn’t done!)
“In fact, in the great tradition of all
entertainers — here is ‘my’ Sammy!”
And with that I went right into my “Sammy” rendition and got a ROUND of APPLAUSE.
So let’s break it down: If you were to look at that line on paper, it’s NOT very funny (mainly because it would be taken out of context.)
Unfortunately, for this line to work with your audience (and for you to really appreciate it), you really have “to have been there!”
Anyway, for that evening, at that precise time, it was truly the perfect joke to deliver to this captivated audience.
Naturally, you can see the obvious absurdity of the situation and why this SCREAMED for humor.
My audience laughed so HARD! Why? Because
THEY were thinking the same thing I was.
And that’s, “My GOD, I have never seen so many
Sammy Davis Jr’s in one theatre before!”
The point I am trying to make is: YOU, yes you, could have easily created and delivered the same joke to your audience.
Believe it or not, with a little work, you can easily find the “connection” joke that your audience will LAUGH at – once you learn to have “your humor eye” working 24/7.
The secret is to look for the obvious… the one thing
both you and your audience share on that particular
night. It’s called being “in the moment”, very present
in your environment, and seeing and hearing what
your audience does.
This is what professional humorists, story tellers, and top-gun speakers do to make their presentations crackle with electricity.
And what does this mean to you? It means if you allow me, I can show you how to “think” like a comedian!
And the best part of incorporating humor into
your presentations is that you don’t have to
deliver rapid fire jokes every second of your speech.
(Who wants or needs that pressure?)
No, no, no! My friend, like a wonderfully cooked meal that needs just “the right amount of spice” to make it scrumptious, I am going to show you how to ‘sprinkle’ just the right amount of humor into your speech - one your audience will devour with delight.
Just like a magician will pull back the curtain and show you how a “trick” is done (and it’s not hard after you see the simplicity of it), I am going to pull back the curtain and show you how comedians and humorists create HUMOR!
Humor that is perfectly suitable for the speech or presentation YOU are giving that day. Don’t forget—
The heavier the content and message
you are a delivering… the MORE humor
your presentation needs so your
audience can soak in your information!
So here is your solution: A little humor here… a little there… and after it’s all done— DING! (Oven timer goes off.) You have just created an oratory masterpiece that will excite your listeners’ senses! (Cue up: AUDIENCE APPLAUSE!)
Just imagine: A speech that could have turned out to be a flat, listless, tasteless soufflé has now been replaced with a rich, delicious performance!
A presentation your audience will no doubt savor for days… even weeks to come!
Remember: Add “just the right amount of humor” to your speech – and I GUARANTEE it will BOOST your presentation’s effectiveness!
And NOW you can have these secrets that I, Ray Romano, Jon Stewart, and Dennis Miller use daily to make audiences LAUGH every time in my new e-book:
