With all the NLPeople in here I was wondering if we can share ideas on marketing strategies used by the pros. Please don't spam or hijack the thread topic!

I'll start with one I've seen people use:

Sell my story strategy:

Examples:

Bandler: When I was developing NLP I done ABC stuff to Schizos etc etc

Jim Rohn: I was a young lad who was broke then I met a man called John Earl Shoaff etc etc

Zig Ziglar: Story about him about to die when he was born etc

Tony Robbins: Then my father walked out and I said never again etc

This doesn't detract from these people skill but I just wanted to look at how they do stuff.

I was thinking what do all these people do in common in their seminars? What's the common theme?

Also forgive my ignorance but I have a question. Is there anyone who has done really well with NLP but isn't a therapist or an NLP trainer?
