David is an international speaker, helping audiences to discover simple ways to improve their pricing.
After studying Engineering Science and Economics at Oxford he worked in senior marketing roles and CEO positions in a variety of industries. He ran a £56m mail order company where pricing is crucial, and has launched several start-ups. He currently helps companies develop and execute marketing strategies that help them to out-compete their competition.
He applies psychology research into consumer behaviour to business and marketing, and in particular pricing. He illustrates everything with real examples of marketing in action.
Deciding on the right price is often a challenge for organisations, and a low price leads to lower margins which is a typical source of sleepless nights for many business leaders.
Trained in photography, photographic processing and audio-visual production, David set up The Regent Slide Company in 1986 and spent 13 years producing and imaging thousands of 35mm slides for many and varied businesses.
However, it wasn’t until he joined the Professional Speaking Association in 2016 that he realised that even good speakers produce bad slides. And now he’s on a crusade to eradicate excruciatingly boring slide presentations and to teach people how to produce slides that wow their audience and that make their talks memorable and effective.
