“This was the most amazing session I have been through. Your value was over the top.”— Jean Nitchals, Best Buy Since 2001, Dean has coached new business interviews for professional service firms who love their work but hate to sell it. Applying story structure to message design, and drawing from his film background to direct and train professionals to be naturally authentic under the pressure of presentation and Q&A, Dean has 14 years of competitive sales presentation experience, his largest win exceeding $1 Billion. Dean is a professional Speaker, presenting, keynoting, and leading seminars in 30 US States plus London, Sydney, and Dublin. Topics include: Winning Presence, Story & Storytelling for Business, Business Development, Interviewing, Emotional Intelligence, Networking, Elevator Speaking, Persuasion, and custom topics.Dean's knowledge base comes from his Film Directing background and his degree is in Psychology which together taught him how to share the power of winning presence under pressure. This experience was augmented by training experiences at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center, GA, where he taught acting to federal covert agents to help them build and perform within deep cover roles. Prior to that he taught screen acting independently.In the 1990s, Dean was the CEO and Creative Director of Digital Café, a boutique New Media promotions firm that put the first CD-ROM in Rolling Stone Magazine, created some of the first Hollywood online promotions, marketed high profile promotions for BMW, and put the first computer game in a cereal box for General Mills, elevating Chex Cereal sales by 248% with the largest single CD-ROM replication in history.“Wow! Dean Hyers has made a bigger impact on my audience and my organization than all the rest.” — Stephanie Menning, Vice President Gas Services, Midwest Energy Group"Dean will make you better. I recommend Dean to anyone who wants to win."— Dr. Alberto Pena, Sanoviv Medical Institute

I coach New Business Interviews for professional service firms, (particularly within the AEC industry), and have generated an excess of $4 Billion in winning interviews, achieving an approximately 85% win rate.Working primarily with Architects, Engineering Firms, and Construction Companies, I transform typical presenters into persuasive business storytellers, guiding message design and rehearsals to be exciting and influential. √ Message is compelling √ Delivery is dynamic √ Confidence is high, but warmly with no arrogance √ Team is differentiated from competitors √ Audience connection creates a sense of trust and likabilityI had the pleasure of working with Dean and Pete while preparing for a significant interview to win work with a new client. Dean and Pete are excellent at facilitating large group discussions and driving the team toward a message that is authentic, clear, and succinct. Never did I feel like they were scripting what we should say but rather they were doggedly coaching us in creating a cohesive presentation that was ultimately about the client, not us. I highly recommend Sage Presence.– Catherine Irwin CorbinSenior Vice President and Health Practice Leader, Chicago at CannonDesign
