Profile Geoffrey Riddle Poised, Polished & Professional Geoffrey Riddle is a master communicator. Whether speaking in front a group, writing or sharing his secrets of persuasion, the goal is always the same. Keep it simple, so everyone walks away thinking, “That’s easy, I can do that!” It sounds simple, but not so easy in a world where complexity seems to reign. According to Albert Einstein, “If you cannot easily explain your subject matter, then you just don’t understand enough about it.” In several of his early selling positions, Geoffrey discovered the simplest way to explain complicated contracts so prospective clients felt comfortable in their decisions to buy, which increased his sales and significantly reduced his rate of recision. As the frequency of his sales increased, he was getting more requests to share his secrets. First, in small groups, then slowly building to large conventions both in the United States and Internationally. All during the time he was speaking, Geoffrey Enter the Luxury Market continued to sell. Reading, experimenting and tweaking his technique.

A communication style that requires far more listening than talking. Paradoxically, most luxury consultants have never experienced this lifestyle and certainly have not been invited into personal conversations that required the utmost secrecy.” There is a certain mindset for the luxury market. One that cannot be acquired through just research and inconclusive theories. At some time, only experience, good and bad, is the best teacher. With over $100 million in personal sales, Geoffrey has discovered what works and all the ups, downs, mistakes and pitfalls that he shares with clients, audiences and in his soon to be published book. “The Art & Science of Luxury Selling.” A salesman forever and professional speaker since 1980, along with voice over and on-camera work, one of his clients has recently dubbed him, “The Voice of Luxury.” He is quick to laugh at this and plays it down as just one opinion; but doesn’t come right out and deny it. “I have been working and re-working my image for years. It wasn’t until I got to a certain age, did I finally think I grew into what I imagined. “The term, “Ladies & Gentleman” always meant more to me then a greeting. It was a look, a way of life and a behavior. A system of values to be admired and a certain belief in yourself that did not need anyone’s approval and yet was genuine.” One client was recently quoted as saying, “Geoffrey is invited to every event we sponsor. Many times, he has attended without a fee and speaks to clients on our behalf. He is easily our best representative. Sometimes describing a person pigeonholes them, but I don’t think he would mind if I told you that he is poised, polished & professional. Timeless elegance.

Profile 2. TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR MISSION IN BUSINESS ? My mission in business is closely aligned to the name of my company – Ntervene, LLC. It was created to perform the difficult work of addressing and confronting maladaptive practices in individuals, social systems, and corporations.

Yet through them, many can also have an opportunity to change, simply through observing the outcomes of the ones that I helped. So if I can assist in the reconstruction of mindsets, it will definitely forward the overall mission of the world becoming a more humanitarian place to live. 3. How do you manage your expectations to be an inspiration to others? I am a very spiritual woman and I believe, as well as, trust in the God of Heaven. So I pray, often, before I engage with others. I often ask for God to send me His Holy Spirit to empower me to empower others. I ask for the words that He would want me to say that will speak to their spirit and give them what they need, in that moment. So my expectation is in God’s love for me and the work that He has appointed me to do will happen without my worry. I have faith in the fact that He has never let me down. So everything that I do and say is divinely orchestrated even before I partake in the experience. 4. Based on your experience.
