I help B2B sellers to quickly acquire million-dollar accounts, without wasting time on boring solutions that don’t work and make you look and sound like everyone else.

My story:  Years ago, when I wanted to break into creating direct mail for magazine publishers, I launched a “contact campaign” to just two dozen VPs of circulation at the big Manhattan-based publishing houses. Every one of them responded, agreed to meet and became clients, including Time Life, Condé Nast, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Harvard Business Review and many more. It was a rapid 100% market penetration from a campaign that cost less than 100 dollars. What I learned was, by focusing on a small number of high value prospects, you can create rapid growth without spending a lot of money.

As a result:  I wrote a bestselling book, How to Get a Meeting with Anyone, which was named one of the top 65 sales books of all time. A new, updated edition releases next year, covering AI’s disruption and enhancement of B2B selling and methods for creating deeply human connections in the new AI era.

What I do:  I help your team use new Contact Marketing and AI tools and processes to identify and prioritize your Top 100 accounts, then create tools and systems to create contact at the highest levels to foster new relationships and close new deals.

Who I help:  Any high-margin B2B company in any industry that is serious about rapid growth NOW.

How I do it:  I use my exclusive MEET™ methodology infused with the latest AI tools to quickly land meetings with scale-changing accounts, resulting in a repeatable process and rapid, sustainable growth.

Imagine this:  Your team becomes expert at breaking through to your most important accounts, using AI, powerful custom contact tools, and and a new, repeatable process. Winning deals becomes second nature and part of your company culture.

Final thought:  We are all just ten major accounts away from a very different life.

I TURN IDEAS INTO BRANDS, EXITS & LEGACIES. 🚀 Slayer of the Mundane 🚀 Author of the #1 Amazon bestseller “BRAND INTERVENTION” responsible for $7B in sales

Most ads burn money. My brands print it.

I'm David Brier. the guy CEOs call when they've burned so much cash on marketing, their spouses think they have a coke habit. I'm like rehab for your brand, except instead of getting you clean, I get you profitable. 

Think of me as the Betty Ford Clinic of branding, but with better ROI and no group hugs.

After 300+ brand transformations, I've learned this: While your competitors fight for attention, the smart money commands it. That's the difference between brands that beg and brands that bank.

You know you need me when:
• Everyone in your category looks identical (including you)
• Bigger competitors with deeper pockets keep winning
• That "digital transformation" everyone promised isn't transforming anything
• Your message bounces off customers like bullets off Superman
• You're one pivot away from irrelevance

Here's what I do differently:

I don't refresh brands. I resurrect them. Strategy, story, design, architecture—rebuilt from the ground up. No committees. No 6-month discovery phases. No death by PowerPoint.

Just breakthrough thinking that turns trapped businesses into category killers.

The proof?
• Zero-to-billion: Built a brand from first sale to billion-dollar exit
• Nonprofit magic: Generated $250K in 30 minutes
• Tourism transformation: 500% increase in 12 months for a city rebrand
• Pandemic profit: Expedition company to multi-millions in 24 months

From dog food to cybersecurity, beauty brands to Harley bikes—I've proven that radical differentiation works in any category.

Why I walked away from Revlon and Estée Lauder:

Big agencies love long meetings and longer timelines. I love CEOs who make decisions and make millions. That's why I wrote two Amazon bestsellers—Brand Intervention (Daymond John called it "Genius") and Rich Brand Poor Brand.

The bottom line:

I used to tell stories. Now I craft legacies. Because in a world of copycats, the only strategy is to be the original everyone else copies.

Your competition has you cornered? Perfect. Corner escapes are my specialty.

CEOs remove thinkers first.

Then complain their brand has no voice.

I sat down with Jeff Abracen on his Disruptive Influence podcast and we unpacked something most leaders are getting backwards.

AI replaces tasks. 
It doesn't replace people.

But too many CEOs are treating it like the opposite.

→ Cutting the humans who think
→ Keeping the tools that can't
→ Wondering why everything sounds the same

The real threat isn't automation.
It's abandoning differentiation in the name of efficiency.

Tool: Your people think. AI executes.
Crutch: AI thinks. Your people disappear.

One builds a brand with a pulse.
The other builds a commodity.

The companies winning right now?

→ Not the ones with the best tech stack
→ The ones who kept their point of view intact

AI can scale your output.
It can't scale your conviction.

AI can generate content.
It can't generate a reason for customers to care.

The uncomfortable truth:

The same efficiency that speeds you up can erase what made you different.

Unless you protect the one thing AI can't replicate:
People with something worth saying.

🎙️ Full episode drops soon.

P.S. AI is a tool.

Your people are the strategy.

Don't confuse the two.

$9bn+ in sales. Make your brand a magnet, not a money pit. I build brands that customers crave. If you're done wasting ad dollars, let's talk.
