Personal Details

Bio

Hello! I'm Dave – an entrepreneur, bestselling author, multi-award-winning marketer, and a champion for positive communication.

Since 2007, my wife Natalie and I have run BML; a multi-award winning B2B branding agency based in Leeds (UK) where we live with our two children.

Throughout my time running a business, cold outreach was my biggest headache. Everything I tried was either too miserable, too expensive or too ineffective to justify my time.

In the hunt to find a solution using highly personalised videos delivered through LinkedIn. It's an approach built on positivity and proved to be nearly 20x more effective than cold calling.

Not only are my outbound headaches a thing of the past, but it has led me on a journey to help other people overcome similar challenges. I have written an internationally bestselling book, delivered workshops to global brands and taught more than 17 thousand students from over 150 countries through my online course.

My speaking focuses on helping others to overcome the challenges that took me more than a 1/4 of my life to solve.

I am a confident public speaker, having spent the past 14 years delivering presentations and pitching to some of the worlds biggest brands.

I've given talks to leading public and private institutions, become a certified Salesforce School of Sales Trainer and an Expert at the online sales training academy, Uhubs.

While I love the connection of a face-to-face presentation, I believe that the virtual world presents an incredible opportunity to engage audiences on a broader level. However, I only think that this can be achieved by breaking the mould. This is why I spend a lot of time injecting fun and creativity into my online presentations.

I’m a firm believer in social responsibility. That’s why I helped set up Prints For Charity – a website that raises thousands of pounds for charities by selling original artwork. It’s also why we donate 1% of all Wonder Leads sales to organisations that support positive communication.

My goal is to help positive businesses build meaningful connections with the people who matter to them; if we could all do that, who knows what incredible things we might accomplish.
