"Tons of new business came in"
I got a call from CBS; they wanted to interview me the next morning on live TV. I immediately put in a call to Derek De Vette at HALO for guidance because he's the master of that game. He gave expert advice, knew exactly what I needed and gave real-life examples of how to work the interview to my best advantage. This included how to handle any tough questions should they come my way.
Because I was prepared, the interview was a success! Later that day I checked the statistics. It was jaw-dropping. Tons of new business came in.

"A true professional who knows how to make you one as well"
I got a call from a News TV station asking me to appear as a guest on a show hosted by a no-nonsense news anchor. I agreed thinking I had a week to prepare. However, the assistant called back and scheduled me to appear the very next day! I panicked. I didn’t want to be a deer in the headlights or make a fool out of myself when interviewed.
HALO's Derek De Vette addressed all my concerns and helped me crystalize my message.He further helped me identify six key points that I needed to get across in the interview itself; and showed me how I could keep these points in focus and not forget them. He next drilled me on how to deal with any interviewer questions that may detract from my message and how to get back on message no matter what comes my way on the show.
I had a very successful interview. Derek is a true professional who knows how to make you one as well.
