Posted on by TalkRadioWedding

This special and very first episode of Wedding Talk For Wedding Professionals features Alan Berg, a leading international speaker and expert on the business of weddings and events. Kyle made him share phenomenal information on how wedding business owners can survive this pandemic. Alan highlights the importance of doing the right things to make one’s business still ‘in the menu’ despite unforeseen circumstances. 
“I’m a Suburban Renaissance Man”… a husband, father, son, friend, speaker, author, salesman, marketer, musician, handyman, consultant, teacher, cruciverbalist (one who does crossword puzzles) and I’ve been told, an all-around nice guy. I’m passionate about my family and my work. Like many of you, I love being creative and working with my hands, as well as my mind (that’s what the wrench in my logo stands for). Your success leads to more success for me. You’ve probably heard that when you give first, you’ll get more than you could have ever asked for. It’s true. I’m living for today while planning for tomorrow.

The Remarkable Quotes from Alan

[05:34] “If you haven’t done this already, you wanna be proactive in reaching out to your couple… You wanna be part of the solution.”

[11:45] “If they did not see it, it did not happen. What can you do to make them safer?… We do not get credit for doing it right. We lose points for getting it wrong.”

[16:45] “Don’t create your own recession by taking yourself off the menu. Now, you’re no longer a choice.”

[44:32] The word “YOU” should be on the site, more than the words I, WE, ME, OURS, MINE…”

What’s your path?

Each of us has our own, unique path, that has brought us to where we are today. Mine includes getting my CSP, the highest earned designation for a professional member of the National Speakers Association; Skydiving for a milestone birthday; starting at age 39 and working up to a 2nd Degree Black Belt, and deciding to teach myself a new language (Spanish) and then give presentations in Spanish only 4 years after my first lesson – in Mexico, Panama and Uruguay!

How can I help you with sales & marketing? Starting with a degree in Advertising and Accounting I grew into a sales career. I began at Young & Rubicam Advertising, at the time the largest ad agency in the country. As I’m sure you did, I bounced around through a few jobs, including retail management. I honed my skills selling Chrysler cars, becoming one of the Top 50 Chrysler salespeople in the country and winning the National Product Information Championship, 4 years in a row. I wasn’t the typical car salesman, having a Magna Cum Laude college degree, and that’s part of why I was so successful. I became the salesman I would want to buy from. When you attend my sales training and presentations, that’s what I help you do, as well.
