Participant praise for John Du Cane's Marketing Mastermind Intensive Workshop San Diego, November 18-20, 2011

John Scott Stevens, RKC, Martial Arts Instructor

A total eye opening, mind-blowing experience. An entire new world of possibilities has opened up and now there is no turning back. I wasn’t just given an excellent tool to grow my business. John gave me an entire arsenal of weapons to decimate obstacles I used to think were insurmountable.

Al Rymniak, RKC, Sales

The absolute best marketing seminar I have ever attended in my 25 years of sales and marketing. I have been to about 17 events in my career. Nothing else even comes close.

James Breese, RKC, UK Distributor

You can have all the knowledge in the world, but if you can’t express that knowledge and market yourself you will go nowhere. This is the MOST IMPORTANT workshop in the RKC syllabus!! This stuff just works and your income WILL explode as a result!!

Most interactive workshop ever attended. What made this so valuable was the links/tips/comments and the coming together of like-minded people.

James H Perry, RKC Instructor, Real Estate Investments

The most powerful seminar in marketing I have ever attended. I highly recommend this course to anyone, a real game changer. I loved it. I want to do another one soon.

Petra Lina Orloff, RKC, Writer

The MMI is simply invaluable. The time we spent learning successful marketing techniques was perfectly balanced with the time we spent working on our personal plans. The opportunity to immediately apply the principles discussed and also, apply them in such a systematic manner is priceless. The intense thinking, like intense kettlebelling, broke down boundaries and allowed us to really push ourselves to examine our strengths and weaknesses and create change.

The quality of the material presented here was spot on and totally relatable. The scope and depth was superior to any other workshop I’ve taken, but this is par for the course for Dragon Door. I will use what I’ve learned immediately. In addition, John Du Cane’s philosophy and views on embracing competition left me feeling incredibly confident, both in my abilities, but also in the Dragon Door product. I truly feel that I have aligned myself with a wonderfully unique group of people

Dr. Michael Hartle, Senior RKC, Doctor of Chiropractic

This MMI is a must for all RKCs wanting to branch out on their own. Even for established trainers, it is extremely powerful and useful. John, Nicole, Shari and Tim were most helpful throughout the weekend. Finally a GPS for marketing to RKCs that when used the way it should be, will literally blow the doors off your facility!!

If you were to use cars, this workshop was the Ferrari with others I have been used to being Chevys!!

Andrew Read, RKC Team Leader, Distributor, Dragon Door Australia

As useful as the first workshop was, just like the RKC, I believe this 2nd visit has cemented processes better into my mind. The MMI should be compulsory for all RKCs to attend.

Peter Lakatos, Senior RKC, Director of Operations, Dragon Door Europe

A very systematic, practical and ready to use concept. The practical part is a great feature!

I spent 14 years in different corporations, 8 years in top management in HBO and Time Warner cable companies. This is one of the most practical courses I have ever taken.

Valerie Hedlund, RKC, Fitness Business Owner

The best thing about the weekend was it was not all about marketing "theories", but focused more on how everyone is planning on IMPLEMETING the ideas to actually help the business grow. There’s accountability with the small group, with John, and with your chosen mentor/accountability partner.

To my knowledge, there isn’t another marketing company that’s specific to RKCs – plus, with only HKCs/RKCs attending, you meet amazing people with wonderful specific ideas to help your business grow.

Brandon Hetzler, RKC, Certified Athletic Trainer

This workshop was as much – if not more – about discovering who I am and why I am valuable as it was about marketing. Not attending will cost you more money in the long run than paying the price to attend – and travel to San Diego.

I’ve probably spent close to the cost of attending this workshop on sales and marketing books, but I was still searching for a product to answer my questions and fill that void. This workshop did that.

Cecily Casey, RKC, Business Owner

I learned so much about life in general this weekend! The detailed information presented about marketing was amazing but also I was very moved by John’s stories as well as others stories. I liked the fact that at times the Mastermind took on a life of its own, but always under the careful guidance of John, it was in these moments that unexpected lessons were learned.

I am part of another coaching group in which we mastermind a few times a year. This mastermind was much more detailed with really solid, usable information. Also it was very helpful to witness how John could pick out pertinent information from an attendee’s presentation and help them repackage it in a very usable format. .

Leslie Hand, RKC, Chiropractic Assistant

The experience was phenomenal. The amount of information obtained was mind-blowing! And that I can put all this information to use has made this seminar so worth every second spent here.

Jon Engum, Senior RKC, Martial Arts Instructor

To be able to tap into the know how of the man who has taken an unknown product and turned it into a household word is priceless. Where else could you get this info?

As always Dragon Door and John over deliver.

Aleks Salkin, RKC

The most important workshop I’ve attended since the RKC. It was the Turkish Get-Up of workshops. You start out on your back, and by the end you’ve got a way to stand on your own two feet, standing with your challenge in the palm of your hand and over your head. CONQUERED.

Carol Donahoe, RKC, Movement Coach

It was a mind-blowing experience that over delivered in the area of content and brainstorming. It had the information, expertise and intensity of the RKC – but for the brain :)

Patrick Cohen, RKC, Personal Trainer, Actor

Tons of information. Tons. Lots of stuff I knew but didn’t really understand the significance of, and tons of information I’d never learned of, or ever considered making a part of my business plan. So much information that I feel I’ll have barely scratched the surface of what I learned in the next few months.

Craig Hirokawa, RKC, Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist

A complete eye opener! I came to this seminar with zero marketing knowledge or experience and was completely blown away by the wealth of information. Even more, it was presented in a way that I understood and could immediately implement into my business. I did not just get talked at instead I generated ideas based on the lessons and was able to get instant feedback from a group of very knowledgeable business minds.

Andrea U-Shi Chang, RKC Team Leader, Dragon Door Dealer, Movement Coach

Returning for the 2nd time with my team, the Kettlebility Crew.

I attended the first MMI in February of this year and learned an amazing amount of very usable and immediately beneficial information, some of which I was able to implement, some of which dropped away in the hurly burly of everyday life challenges, but one thing I learned was paramount, if DD was to put together another MMI, I would bring my team, the Kettlebility Crew, because it became very clear to me that in order for me to take my business to the next level, I would need my team with me.

Not only did we coalesce into a ramped up super exited group with very lofty goals for our business, we now had a "to do" list of step-by-step activities – a full year’s business plan – that allows us to take Kettlebility to the next level.

As usual, the incredible amount of usable information presented by JDC, Shari Alexander and NDC is amazing, only to be trumped by the gestalt of the weekend’s Mastermind experience and what we all (every attendee) learned from each other – an incredible gift of expertise!

Far beyond others I have attended – wider scope, immediately useful, practical applications – taxing yet fun!

Steve Holiner, RKC, Strength Coach

The MMI proved the absolute importance of a strong and consistent marketing plan. I now have the tools to put this into action. To be honest, I can’t afford not to.

The "Mastermind" aspect was fantastic. So many great ideas and insights came to light.

Though this was my first true marketing workshop, I’ve spent over 13 years in advertising. This was a fantastic tool to strengthen my existing skillset. It filled in the blanks in my game plan (or lack there of).

Robert Rimoczi, RKC, Distributor, Germany, IT Professional

If somebody coming to me and asking how can be better in pull up, first I ask: how many pull ups you does in last week. The answer is usually 0. ? This is the same with me and the marketing. Now I recognized my marketing was not weak, I do not made marketing until this, now I see how much possibility I have, and exactly what should I do.

For me was MMI in this form was incredible. The greatest investment I have ever made in my life.

Lucy Casey, RKC, Personal Trainer

John Du Cane’s MMI is inspiring and very motivational. You will organize and come up with a realistic plan that you can put in to place right ways. You will learn marketing techniques, ideas and strategies that you had never thought of before. The environment is supportive, friendly and most of all motivating. It makes you want to get started right away!

I will say that I feel I am walking away with a ton of great ideas and plans that I can put to use ASAP. I feel more focused!

Corey Howard, RKC, Owner Results Personal training, Sioux Falls, SD

1. Gave me a ton of ideas to grow the business from different angles.
2. Forced me to sit down and examine current marketing inadequacies and create a plan to right the ship.
3. The program helped me create a plan and forced me to examine my current schedule. This way I can implement new elements and not get stressed out because it’s "just more work".

The benefit of attending John Du Cane’s workshop were learning from a proven leader in the industry with a proven track record. Also networking with other RKCs from all over the world and sharing ideas. The biggest benefit was helping to create a workable plan to successfully market what I do and minimize the daunting viewpoint of creating more busy work.

The marketing workshop was awesome. I’ve been to "Branding" seminars before but never have I learned so many ideas coupled with implementation strategies. Couple John Du Cane with other brilliant RKC business people and it’s a recipe for success.

Ronen Katz, RKC, Karate and Yoga Teacher

The seminar was great. Learned a lot, it helped me to focus on marketing and see it in a systematic way.

Beth Ehrmann, RKC, Owner: The Wrecking Bell

I’ve always considered myself a good listener – good at providing what my client says he wants. But the very first hour of this workshop showed me that I was ignoring a very powerful way of listening to my client’s story, and turning that story into a vehicle for mutual success, and gaining more clients.

The Intensive opened my eyes to so many areas in which I was failing my business. The excuse of not extra time always seemed to best, until now. After the MMI I really do have more ideas, tips, and proven techniques to implement than I have time!

Ryan Atkins, RKC, Student

The MMI is the toolbox – the RKC Big 6 of concepts to know that will allow me to share my RKC skills with others. I know have a system, and the combined experience and advice of 30 experienced RKCs ensuring my success.

Tona Hetzler, Professor – Athletic Trainer, Dept head, Program Director

Intense but practical. It was a good blend between theory and practice. I will leave being not only aware of the steps but confident that I have already started the work to implement the steps.

NO comparison - This program went beyond all others in quality, scope of material and especially practical use.

Kevin Knapp, RKC, CK-FMS, Personal Trainer

It is obvious this has been years and years worth of what works and what doesn’t. Packed full of what does! How to implement! Working with others, and coming away with a blueprint for success. I have a better understanding about my role as a trainer and what people are looking for.

Kristine Gill, RKC II, Firefighter

The benefit that I’ve gained was that I need to get off my butt and start utilizing the social media! I have gained so much information that it’s hard to summarize. The fact that I only relied on word of mouth says that I have a lot more I could be doing!

Laurel Blackburn; RKC II, Dragon Door Dealer, Owner of Boot Camp Fitness and Training and Tallahassee Kettlebells

TIt took all of the ideas and dreams I had and made them not only real but very do-able. It gave me clarity and focus.
