“Ray Collins delivers inside advice for anyone looking to set themselves apart in business or politics.  He offers everything from how to get media attention…to how to enhance your appearance, even your voice!  He’s credible, straight forward–and I recommend him highly.”  -Florida Rep. Bill Galvano (R-Bradenton)

What do federal and state lawmakers, CEO’s and sales professionals have in common? They’ve all undergone media/image training from Collins Media. This may mean better TV interviews or speeches…improving articulation or vocal quality…or even learning what to wear in certain situations.

Also–what gets newsroom managers– and then their audiences– to sit up and take notice of you or your product instead of the countless other choices they have?

How can you attract–or avoid–media attention? When is the best time of the week to announce good news? When is the best time to announce bad news? How do you handle crisis communication?

rayannCutting through the clutter and breaking through takes insight into the process–as well as some inside information. Those that know how to do it correctly can save thousands of dollars on advertising costs and enhance their own profile in the process.

How can you improve your presentation or sales skills?  How can you give better speeches?  What colors should you wear for your particular hair and coloring?  What should you avoid?

It’s all part of Media and Presentation Training. Ray Collins Media Training includes a video tape component and instant feedback.
