Client Praise
Phil knocked it out of the park. Throughout the webinar, he was engaging, confident, knowledgeable, and passionate. I canโt wait to work with him again.
โSteve Bonadio, VP Marketing, Innocentive
Phil Simon was an exceptional speaker and webinar host. Beyond that, heโs also extremely thorough and works hands-on with his clients. The end result was a fantastic product we were both proud of. He knows his stuff, works hard, and is very responsive when you need to contact him.
โLindsay Lauck, Webinar Program Manager, Pluralsight
CMU alumni describe Philโs presentations as relatable, informative, and engaging. His passion is contagious, leaving attendees energized and inspired. On top of being an amazing presenter, heโs fun and easy to collaborate with. If you havenโt already, I highly recommend working with Phil.
โMelissa Turk, Director of Alumni & Constituent Engagement, Carnegie Mellon University
Phil was a dream to work with. Normally Payix webinars have attendees from Finance or Fintech. With Phil, people from many different industries attended. The topic was very relevant and Phil did a great job presenting.

The Problem
Marketing and sales folks are justifiably enthusiastic about their products, but they face two insurmountable obstacles in trying to get their messages heard:
- People today are busier than ever. As such, they arenโt too keen on watching commercials. The Super Bowl is the exception that proves the rule.
- Prospective customers are usually and understandably a bit weary of software vendorsโ messages. (Have you ever met a salesperson who didnโt think that everyone needed his or her companyโs products and services? Me neither.)
The Solution
As a vendor-agnostic technology expert, I often give content-rich webinars. I discuss important business developments and trends, not the features of any software vendorโs particular wares. My goal is to start conversations about problems that my clientsโ products and services may ultimately solve. After a brief introduction, I typically speak for about 75 percent of the allotted time. I conclude by fielding questions from attendees that the moderator vets.
Rather than โtalk atโ prospects, why not inform and educate them?
In case youโre curious, my current record is 2,200 live attendees.
