What is the Selling Hypnotically seminar?
“Selling Hypnotically: The Art of Suggestion” teaches sales professionals and marketers how to use embedded commands, pattern interrupts and NLP to influence buying decisions at the subconscious level.

Yes. Richard can scope a full training needs analysis, write bespoke lesson plans aligned to your business objectives, and deliver a programme tailored to your industry, company culture and audience. Contact his team to discuss your requirements.
What’s the difference between a hypnosis seminar and a comedy hypnosis show?
A comedy hypnosis show is pure entertainment — hilarious, high-energy, designed to delight an audience. A hypnosis seminar is an educational experience that teaches practical skills: selling more effectively, eliminating mental blocks, improving focus, or weight management through the subconscious mind. Richard is uniquely positioned to deliver both — he brings the same engaging stage energy to a seminar room that he brings to a 2,000-seat theatre.
What is Hypnotic Marketing Mastery?
Hypnotic Marketing Mastery is Richard’s online training platform that teaches performers, speakers and business owners to apply hypnotic language, NLP and persuasion to their marketing and branding. Available alongside — or separately from — his live seminar programmes.
