Urine Trouble: has this ever happened to you?

Yes, I'm moonlighting as an infomercial pitchman. (Hey, there's a recession – we do what we must.) And yes, this IS a real service: you actually can get a "Pre-Urine Test" at any AnyLabTestNow facility nationwide. Why you would need such a thing, I have no idea. [cough] Recorded this at ej4 Studios in St. Louis – did the whole thing in two takes, with the graphics added live in real-time. eJ4 wrote/produced it, too, for agency Spoke Marketing. The only gags I added were the bag of "urine" (it's apple juice, thank goodness) and the end line. I'm ready for more gigs! Propiel, give me a call! 314-479-1966!

"Perfect Your Sales Pitch": Walt and Mike team up for half-day messaging workshop June 30

From the official eBlast:  Despite recession, despite resistance, you CAN ignite sales again.  IF you make re-imagining your sales pitch your personal Job One.  Now more than ever, it needs to be perfect: fine-tuned, superbly strategic, and – dare we say it? – a little bit sexy.  Our offer: we'll do that FOR you. Right before your eyes. 

At our next "Perfect Your Sales Pitch"  workshop June 30, you'll spend a morning with just five of your small-business-leader peers, and session leaders Mike Behr (right) and Walt Jaschek, marketing gurus.  Mike and Walt will double-team the white board to guide the group through energized reconstructions of elevator speeches that sell.

We'll focus on three key areas of your pitch: the value you offer to your customers, differentiation from competitors, and creating urgency to advance the sales process.  You will leave the room with a customized, re-engineered sales pitch, yours to propagate and prosper from.

But, hey, don't just take our word for it.  Here's what a recent attendee says:

I write print and outdoor ads, too. Boy, do I.

Some people think I only write radio and TV. Maybe they think that because all I've postered here are radio and TV. But I write tons of print campaigns and outdoor campaigns, too, some funny, some serious, all intended to engage. Here is some recent work for agencies and advertisers who still like to produce stuff you can touch.

Coming soon: web and interactive portfolio. Lots o' new stuff. And of course you can scroll to see funny TV and hear funny radio. And of course you can get me started thinking about your campaign just by calling 314-479-1966.
