"This is how important Greg’s
class is: he completely changed my perspective.
I have a campaign currently on
air I thought was doing pretty
good. I didn’t realize I was
actually losing money doing
it the way I
have been!
Now I realize the
power my
product possesses – and the
numbers we should be doing.
And I know exactly how to plan
my media and my inventory."
Aman Agrawal
Home Shoppe Direct.
"Now that I've taken your
class, I really understand
this trade show.
I wouldn't know what to
do with
all of this if I hadn't
taken Greg's class."
Paul Sathis
PDS Ltd.
"Greg’s years of experience in
the field presents an amazing perspective on the DR business.
The seminar helped me connect
the data I know and
fill in
the blanks with
a lot of
missing information.
Great seminar! I wish I had
attended years ago!"
Mara Schteinschraber
Corinthian College
"I feel much better prepared
to build our first DRTV campaign.
I think I’ll be much more
effective in determining which
partners we should work with.
Thank you!"
Kathie Grant
PetFirst Healthcare
"This seminar had the highest percentage of actual useful
technical information (vs.
anecdotal baloney) of any
seminar I’ve ever attended.
Bravo, Greg!"
Jay Sedrish
Stouffer Direct
"The greatest benefit?
Connecting ALL the dots.
I've
never been on the client side
before, so this really helped me understand the entire marketing process.
Greg was a fantastic instructor. I really like how his relevant day-
to-day experiences are applied
in the classroom.
"
Georgette Heller
Allstar Marketing Group
"I would recommend this class to anybody involved in any aspect
of this industry. I mean, the stuff
Greg knows is just ridiculous!
He’s
had his thumb on the pulse
of this industry for so long.
I really enjoyed the fact that the
class
wasn’t all hype. He didn’t
just make everyone feel warm
and fuzzy. He drove home that
you have to be realistic,
that you have to have realistic expectations. He used
real
examples, real situations.
I was skeptical going in. But I was riveted! I just
sat there and learned.
I was extremely pleased with the opportunity I had to take
the
course."
Brian Doughty
Infusion Brands
"If you are a beginner looking for
a TOTAL IMMERSION in the
DRTV world, this is the course to
take. Learn practical, real world critical information from a
world-class DRTV expert.
Attending this course has no
doubt saved me tens of
thousands of dollars.”"
Mike Scotti
Horizon Foods
"For me, the greatest value was understanding how the industry’s
best are doing this. The course opened my eyes to areas I had
never been involved in, ultimately helping me understand everything better."
Jesse de la Llata
Interlex USA
"I was nervous because I didn’t
know who Greg was. And yeah, I thought it was a lot of money.
But when I got to the class and
after that intro, I was like, 'Wow!'
As the time went on and I saw
how much this man knows, his background and his career,
what he’s done and what he’s
doing professionally, my
reservations were just gone. It
was
a little bit costly but it was
well worth the money!"
Mary DiNardo
YPA, LLC
"Greg Sarnow delivers. No one
in the industry is willing to share
the secrets and knowledge he is - period!
At many points during the class, I
felt satisfied with my investment.
I’d be thinking, “If this was all I
got from the course, I'd have
gotten
my money’s worth …
more than
my money’s worth!"
Marsha Kent
Producer
"I thought there would be an overview and we’d just touch on
a few points on each topic. But
Greg really dove down into the details.
There was so much information!
It would have taken me months
or years to research. And with trial and error, and all the nuances you need know to set up a proper campaign,
there was no way I
could have learned it all so fast -
just 3 days!
I really liked how Greg gave the picture – the stark reality – of
setting up a DR campaign. The
way he structured the seminar seemed perfect. His material is grounded in reality vs. just theory. Everything fell into place logically.
I could see how people could embellish the process, but the way Greg presented gives me more confidence in planning
how to approach DR. "
Lance Miyamoto
Entrepreneur
"It was exactly what I needed,
and I will apply it in Russia."
Ilya Kirik
Direct Trade, LLC
"The course let me make certain
that what we are doing in Japan
is correct. The greatest benefit is being able to understand the American market, comparing
the situation in Japan and
adjusting to that in the U.S."
Haruko Otani
Esprit Line Co. Ltd. USA (Japan)
"Greg really knocks it out of the
park with his DRTV Boot Camp.
He’s not only highly experienced
and knowledgeable, but you can
see he has a genuine desire to
help others succeed in the DRTV industry. Thanks, Greg!”"
Roger Wagy
Entrepreneur
"Thank you for all the great info
at the DRTV Boot Camp in
NYC. I walked away feeling more confident that I can do a better
job managing our newest
fundraising initiative. We will
build better, test better from the start."
Dana Spencley
The Wounded Warrior Project
"This course is an excellent introduction and overview of
the DRTV process for anyone entering the business - or changing responsibilities within the field.
The Boot Camp gives a great
history and background, and
practical tools for success that
can be immediately applied."
Elisa Fike Coleman
Russ Reid
"I loved Greg’s class! It was broken down into clear, direct
information that was easy to
digest. I feel much more confident
in the DR world with the
information I received here. I recommend this course to anyone interested in gaining knowledge
from a true expert.”"
Hara Lewis
Sylmark
"The course more than met my expectations. It gave a very comprehensive overview of
the process, yet we were able to delve into each area. The
knowledge from this course
allows me to proceed with much more confidence in going into
a new DRTV venture.”"

I want to thank the Direct Response Academy for the positive experience we had. This year, Body by Jake made the transition to a fully self-contained direct marketing company.
The DR Academy played a key role in preparing our staff and arranging relationships that made our operation a success. Your expertise in television media was very important to help us establish a structure to purchase media “in-house.” I highly recommend - to anyone interested in pursuing this industry without significant experience - to directly seek your advice. It will save them time and money.
Phil Scotti, President
Body By Jake
For us, it’s all about designing our services so our clients’ media is the most effective possible. That’s where you came in. You showed our staff how we can refine our processes, where to focus our attention, and how we can best impact our client’s profitability.
Our call flow designs are now more sophisticated; the offer structure is more effective and our clients are better served.
But here’s where I have seen the most impact: our internal operations staff now has the complete picture of how their functions fit in a successful campaign, and what we are working toward when the marketing staff makes a specific request.
The list goes on and on. Programmers - call center computer screen design has become more sales friendly. Our sales center managers see the relation of the upsells to order-to-call ratios better. Our HR directors have refined the definition of the best hire for our telesales consultants. The finance managers now have a better understanding of our clients cash flow needs. And TELCO now sees the relation of call handling/skill routing to client profitability.
We regularly get requests from additional departments to be included in your next training session. Your industry knowledge and presentations are making us a better company. Because of you we are making media more effective and we’re making our clients more money. I am proud to make a recommendation on the use of your services.
Steve Pittendrigh, CEO
InPulse Response Group
In addition to managing our media campaign, I have been equally impressed with your overall knowledge of all the other aspects of DRTV. You had the insight to successfully choose some of our upsells, which are still drawing an over 20% ratio despite being in the 4th and 5th position.
Your insight and expertise for choosing the proper media has led us to a higher ratio than our previous media runs. Not only have I learned a great deal from your wisdom, you are very easy to work with and one of the most reliable people I have done business with in this ever-challenging industry.
