Don Cooper Biography

Don’s sales career started at age seven, selling seeds and greeting cards door-to-door. Through high school, college and beyond, he sold both products and services, to consumers and businesses. His last “real job” was with a Washington, D.C. delivery company that, under his leadership, grew by an average of 38% a year. So he definitely knows sales.        

However, knowing a lot about a subject doesn’t make a person a great speaker. You’ve probably suffered through presentations by people who were clearly experts, but were so esoteric, you couldn’t understand what the heck they were trying to say. Or worse, were so boring you had to fight to stay awake.

Fortunately, Don also brings a performer’s background to his presentations. He has acted on stage and film, appeared in the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Bailey Circus and even performed at the legendary comedy club, The Improv. This experience contributes to his ability to connect with audiences, keeping them entertained and involved for hours at a time.

By combining his sales expertise and performance skills with intensive research, Don delivers programs that are industry—and even company—specific. So audience members get unique insights and practical, relevant tools they can use immediately to increase their sales. Which is why Don is typically the highest-rated speaker at conferences and why his corporate clients often bring him back again and again.  

Your people have already heard these exhortations again and again. The problem is, they’re easier said than done. What your people want to know is exactly how to do those things. (Details left out of most speakers’ presentations.)

Following advice like this actually increases prospect discomfort, skepticism and resistance. Which of course leads to frustration, disappointment and lost sales.

It was precisely this type of frustration with traditional sales doctrine that led Don to develop fresh, innovative approaches. Approaches that have been enthusiastically embraced by thousands of salespeople, customer service agents and professionals.

Rather than merely state “do more prospecting,” Don leads people through a simple, seven-step process that makes prospecting easier and more efficient.

Instead of admonishing “close the sale,” Don illuminates the hidden reasons closing is so challenging and helps people transform their thinking so closing becomes effortless.

While other speakers say “ask good questions,” Don actually gives your people the exact questions to ask! And not just generic questions—Don will create custom questions specifically for your group!

If you’re tired of antiquated advice and outmoded thinking, if you’re sick of generalizations and fallacies, if you’ve had your fill of banalities and conventional wisdom, then you’re ready for a heretic—The Sales Heretic™.

All programs are custom-tailored to your specific industry, company and/or meeting theme. The following presentations can run from 45 to 90 minutes. Two or more programs can be combined to create a half-day or full-day program.

Speaking Topics
  • It’s NOT Who You Know: Making the most of meeting and mingling

    To succeed in today’s world, you need networks of strong relationships to provide you with support, information, and opportunities. But how do you build relationships with people you don’t know? What do you say to total strangers? And where do you go from there? In this fun, highly-interactive session, Don will show you:

    • How to have confidence in any networking situation

    • The secrets to approaching total strangers with ease

    • Who to seek out when you enter a room

  • The Physics of Closing: How to make the hardest part of the sale easy

(Along with a little psychology, economics and cryptology thrown in.) Fortunately, you don’t need a PhD to improve your closing ratio. (You don’t even need any previous science classes.) This eye-opening presentation will provide you with the insights and tactics you need. You’ll discover:

    • The secret to dramatically improving your closing ratio

    • How to increase your profit (and your commission) on nearly every sale you make

  • Never Sell Ice to Eskimos: A practical program for powerful prospecting

    Want more sales? You need more prospects. (And not just any prospects—quality prospects!) But most salespeople avoid prospecting because it’s traditionally frustrating, time-consuming and unproductive. It doesn’t have to be, though. In fact, prospecting can be relatively easy and highly effective. That is, if you know the secrets to doing it right. In this powerful, hands-on session, Don will share with you:

    • What you must do before you start prospecting

    • The simple tool that will make your prospecting much more effective

    • Why you should probably increase your prices today

    • The keys to outselling your low-price competitors
