Danielle Kennedy

Hiring a speaker is a big responsibility. If you choose the wrong one for your next important event, your colleagues will never forgive you. Danielle Kennedy is a speaker who will not let you down. When it comes to both business and life experiences, she has walked the talk. Her presentation is dynamic, entertaining, and story-driven. But her stories and experiences are interlaced with facts, valuable lessons, and insights that will dramatically increase your company's bottom line and improve individual outlooks and attitudes. No one knows more about balancing a family and multiple careers than Kennedy. Each stage of her incredible career has taken her to new challenges.

Stage #1: While raising 5 children, Kennedy became one of the leading commissioned real estate salespeople in the United States. All of her business was self-generated through door-knocking, cold calling, and building an army of past customer referrals. In the midst of building her business, she wrote her first best-selling book "How To List and Sell Real Estate" (30th Anniversary Edition released in March 2010). This "bible" of real estate has sold in excess of one million copies. It specifically teaches salespeople how to build a successful business, no matter what challenges the real estate economy presents. After she became an award-winning saleswoman (top 1% in the nation) she started her own company which maintained a 30% market share for 5 years running. She sold that company to her partners and then moved into the training and speaking business. At age 40 she gave birth to her 6th child.

Stage #2: Kennedy builds Danielle Kennedy Productions, a sales training company that has taken her all over the world presenting keynote speeches, seminars, and consulting sessions during the last 20 years. During this time of her life, she went back to school and received her Masters degree in Professional Writing from the University of Southern California. She has continued to author 6 more books which include: "Seven Figure Selling" and "WorkingMoms. Calm - How Smart Women Balance Family and Career." Her training products are available on CDs, DVDs, and downloads on the internet. Today, thousands of salespeople in many industries have invested in her training materials, mastering her powerful how-to's to improve their business. All of her methods are based on her vast history of experiences in sales, leadership/management, and balancing a very large family life. It is not hyperbole. She walks the talk.

Stage #3: Kennedy continues to deliver keynote speeches, seminars, and has added consulting to her services provided through Danielle Kennedy Productions. Her consulting work takes her to specific companies on a quarterly basis over a period of one or two years. These companies report outstanding results in their sales teams' overall productivity. Her educational background in theatre, communication, and writing make her the ideal presenter for your next meeting. She is also an actress who consistently appears on stage and screen. She has been inducted into the National Speakers Association Hall of Fame, The Sales and Marketing Executives Hall of Fame, named "Ambassador of Free Enterprise" for The Sales and Marketing Executives, was voted in the top 25 most influential people in real estate in 2008, and in 2009 was nominated for a Los Angeles Stage Alliance Ovation Award for outstanding performance in a play.
