The Odd Couple® Victory Lap
Marketing and Strategy Seminar for Speakers & Coaches
The Dramatic Value of The Odd Couple® Seminar
In these two and one half days of bottom-line, nothing-held-back, tell-it-like-it-really-is information from two giants in the professional speaking and consulting worlds...
You will learn:
- Latest ideas in marketing and strategy
- Who your REAL buyer is
- How to attract and appeal to each economic buyer
- What marketing collateral you need
- How yours compares to the ideal
- Web strategies that lead to unlimited prospects
- How technology can position you ahead of the crowd.
The Odd Couple Seminar will provide a combination of role-playing, simulated visits, simulated telephone calls, case studies, the opportunity to replicate your toughest marketing challenges, and "hot seat" experiences so that the key first impression will be familiar and comfortable when you're actually with that important prospect. Based extensively on Fripp's coaching work and Alan's simulations with major clients and senior level executives, participants will benefit from having "been there and done that."
Remember, both Alan Weiss and Patricia Fripp are outrageously successful when most professional speakers and consultants are licking their wounds. They are the Odd Couple because of different personalities and backgrounds. However, they are both deeply committed to making this weekend the best investment in your career this year. If you are not familiar with them, just check their unbeatable credentials. If your goal is to expand your income and expertise, Alan Weiss and Patricia Fripp's advice is exactly what you have been looking for.
This is an incredible learning experience for new and repeat Odd Couple graduates, consultants, coaches, business experts, and professional speakers.

What You Will Learn
Learn the best marketing techniques, and philosophies, that keep Fripp and Alan solidly booked with overflow business no matter what the economy is doing. Many of these ideas you can immediately implement.
- Websites, Social Media & Technology
How to use technology to your advantage. - Diversifying Your Professional Portfolio
An offering of 15 allied business opportunities to consider for the diversification of your income. We guarantee that at least four or five will make sense for you, and perhaps even most of them. - Creating Passive Income
It's never too early (or too late) to establish avenues of passive income. We'll present a plan for how to establish your "earn while you sleep" annuities, how to keep them fresh with minimal time investment, and how to use them to create equity for the future. - Building Your Brand
Specific work on the three fundamentals of dynamic brand impact: formulation, nurturing, and brand equity. If you have a brand, enlarge, expand, and/or add to it. If you don't, create one while you're with us. (One speaker and coach of unacceptable behavior among senior executives became "The Lion Tamer" and immediately gained radio interviews.) - Publicizing Your Story
Use the stories that define your life and your message, not solely on the platform, but with the media to build recognition, marketing, and celebrity. Treat the media as your primary audience.
If you are a first time attendee, we can cover some of the content from earlier Odd Couple Seminars. If you are a repeat graduate, you know there is always new content or an updated approach to everything that is said.
What Attendees Are Saying...
Thanks to what I learned at The Odd Couple Seminar, I have a $15,000 speaking engagement in South Africa, and I was interviewed live on CNBC. I'm also self-publishing a booklet on healthcare fraud and working on a book proposal. The Odd Couple was worth every penny. Thank you.

Two and one half days of bottom-line, nothing-held-back, tell-it-like-it-is information... from two giants of the business who have a combined 67 years experience of speaking and consulting professionally!
Have you ever wanted to know the inside secrets of a speaker/consultant who makes over a million dollars a year? What about another Hall of Fame speaker and executive speech coach who Meetings & Conventions magazine named "One of the 10 most electrifying speakers in North America"... and who is featured in a book alongside Tony Robbins, Les Brown, and Brian Tracy as one of the 15 biggest Motivational Superstars... and is an in-demand presentation skills coach for authors, celebrities, business executives, and sales teams?
Fripp and Weiss are "at odds" because of their different backgrounds and ways of running their speaking and consulting practices. Both are dynamically successful and help you realize how you can reach your full potential. Take advantage of their over 67 years of combined experience!
Who are Patricia Fripp & Alan Weiss?
Patricia Fripp is an award-winning Hall of Fame speaker, sales presentation trainer, and executive speech coach to executives and celebrity speakers. She was elected the first woman President of The National Speakers Association. She is also the founder of the largest NSA chapter in Northern California.
Alan Weiss is New York. He's an assertive, contrarian guy who has never memorized a speech, never had a coach, and refuses to read feedback sheets. He keeps his fees high, gladly losing business from cost-conscious buyers in order to deliver the 50 or so speeches a year that are his trademark. Alan Weiss is the author of numerous books and video programs including the McGraw-Hill book Money Talks: How to Make a Million as a Speaker and Million Dollar Consulting.
As different as they are... this "at odds" duo DO have a few things in common. Both are fabulously successful. Both work with some of the largest and best organizations on the planet. And both are recognized by their peers, as well as their customers, as class acts. They make a whole lot of money and can entertain, stimulate, and provoke professional speakers, coaches, consultants, seminar leaders, trainers, and financial planners to higher levels of performance in a very brief time.
Now, they team up once a year. After you hear what they say, your career will soar! Oscar and Felix made you laugh... Fripp and Alan make you money!
