Our history
When David Gee's television news career took him to Hollywood nearly every weekend for several years to interview the stars and directors of soon-to-be-released feature films, he knew he needed something to stand out. He recognized intuitively that if he was going to have a unique, authentic, interesting interview with professionals who followed scripts for a living, he was going to have to be different right away, piquing their curiosity, and putting them on notice they were going to have to pay attention. He didn't have the name or the language for it then, but that's where 3 Second Selling was born. And after beginning to build out the platform, he found the concept that people's opinions of you are fully formed within seconds had been researched as early as the 1950's. Gee took what had already scientifically proven, the way our brains are wired, and laid it over a sales and marketing platform. 3 seconds. That’s it.
Our mission
Our mission is simple. We help salespeople learn how to cut through the clutter and quickly create emotional connections, so prospects and customers listen longer, learn better and buy earlier. 3 Second Selling™ is for everyone who needs to sell themselves, but doesn’t want to get caught doing it. You see, the old fashioned ways of telling and selling are over. We need to be original, authentic and memorable with every idea, interaction, program, service and message. It can help someone make the decision to hire you, promote you or want to work for/with you. Once you learn to recognize them, you will realize we all have 3 Second Selling™ moments all day, every day. It’s creating a vision that becomes your reality. It’s operating from a position of strength, truth and power. It’s about sculpting the world into your own expectations. It’s thinking bigger, becoming more agile and expecting success. And you can learn how to use it too.
