Dan Kennedy Selling Opportunity: It Transformed My Sales
I've invested in dozens of books, courses, and training programs over the years. Some promised to give me a “secret formula” to wealth, others claimed they could shortcut years of trial and error. Most left me disappointed, with binders of theory I never used and tactics that stopped working the moment algorithms shifted.
But when I got my hands on Dan Kennedy's Selling Opportunity —the multi-media book that comes only with the Diamond Membership—something different happened. For the first time, I felt like I had discovered a shift in philosophy , not just another set of tactics. It wasn't about improving what I was already doing; it was about replacing my entire approach to selling .
This book didn't just tweak my business. It transformed it. And in this review, I'll share exactly how.
How I Stumbled Into “Selling Opportunity”
Like many entrepreneurs, I followed Dan Kennedy for years. His no-nonsense style appealed to me because it stripped away hype and focused on results. So when I heard that Russell Brunson and Magnetic Marketing were offering Dan's rare multi-media book Selling Opportunity as a free gift for Diamond Members , I was intrigued.
The premise hooked me right away: Stop selling improvements. Start selling opportunities.
At first, I didn't fully get it. Improvements sounded like a good thing, right? Who wouldn't want a slightly better product or a marginally faster service? But Dan made a powerful point: improvements don't excite people—opportunities do.
That single distinction became the foundation of my business transformation.
The Core Lesson: Why “Improvements” Kill Sales
In Selling Opportunity , Dan explained what I had been doing wrong for years. Like most business owners, I positioned my offers as improvements.
-
A faster way to do something people already do.
-
A cheaper version of what they already buy.
-
A slight upgrade on a product they already use.
The problem? Nobody gets excited about small improvements. Customers compare, haggle, and often stick with what they already have.
Dan's philosophy was different: sell the new, not the improved. People are drawn to revolutions, to opportunities that feel like a fresh start, a clean slate, or a breakthrough. That's what commands attention—and premium prices.
When I reframed my offers this way, everything changed.
How I Applied “Selling Opportunity” in My Business
Let me walk you through how I used the lessons from Selling Opportunity and the results I experienced.
1. Reframing My Core Offer
Previously, I ran my service business by competing on features. I'd promote things like “better support,” “faster turnaround,” and “cheaper costs.” It felt logical—but it positioned me as just another option in a crowded market.
After studying Selling Opportunity , I realized I had to stop selling “better” and start selling “different.”
I restructured my core package as a complete replacement for the old way of doing things. Instead of promising a 10% improvement, I positioned it as a new category, an entirely new way of achieving results.
The result? I could finally charge premium prices without pushback. Clients weren't comparing me to others—they saw me as offering something unique.
2. Using Multi-Media for Deeper Connection
The multi-media aspect of Selling Opportunity blew me away. It wasn't just a book; it included QR codes linking to Dan's live audio lessons from his one-time Cleveland event.
Hearing him explain the principles in his own words helped me internalize the message. More importantly, it gave me practical phrasing I could lift directly into my sales conversations.
One line in particular—about why customers don't want repairs but crave reinvention—stuck with me. I used it in a pitch and closed one of my biggest deals to date.
3. Shifting My Sales Copy From “Repair” to “Revolution”
Before, my ads and emails promised fixes to existing problems. But Dan showed me that repair language rarely inspires action. People don't want to fix the old—they want to escape it.
I rewrote my copy using “opportunity language”:
-
Instead of “we'll improve your results,” I wrote, “discover a completely new way to achieve success.”
-
Instead of “upgrade your tools,” I wrote, “step into a system that replaces outdated methods entirely.”
That change alone doubled the response rate on my email campaigns.
4. Positioning Myself as a Category Leader
Dan emphasized the importance of replacement offers —positioning yourself as the only logical choice by offering something that makes the old obsolete.
I stopped competing for scraps of market share and began building a narrative that made prospects feel like they'd be left behind if they didn't adopt my solution.
In one quarter, I closed three contracts at fees that would've seemed impossible six months earlier.

The Tangible Results
Here's what applying Selling Opportunity did for me:
-
Revenue Jumped 55% in the first six months. My higher pricing stuck because I was no longer framed as “just another option.”
-
Sales Cycle Shortened. Clients moved faster because they felt urgency to jump on a new opportunity, not delay another “upgrade.”
-
Confidence Soared. I no longer dreaded sales calls. I had the positioning and the language to lead conversations.
-
Customer Loyalty Increased. Instead of buyers treating me as replaceable, they saw me as the partner leading them into something new.
The materials didn't just teach me tactics—they shifted my entire mindset. I stopped chasing customers. They started chasing me.
Why Selling Opportunity Stands Out
I've read plenty of business books, but here's why this one made the difference:
-
It's exclusive. You can't buy it on Amazon. It's only available as part of the Diamond Membership. That scarcity made me take it more seriously.
-
It's proven. The content came from a $10,000-per-seat event where entrepreneurs paid dearly to hear Dan's insights.
-
It's practical. With the multi-media format, I wasn't just reading theory—I was listening to Dan's actual delivery and applying it word-for-word.
-
It's transformational. It doesn't teach “better marketing.” It rewires how you see sales entirely.
The Bigger Picture: Thinking Like a Renegade
Dan Kennedy doesn't sugarcoat. He calls out the herd mentality most entrepreneurs fall into—competing on price, chasing trends, selling “improvements.”
By embracing the renegade mindset of selling opportunity , I broke free from the comparison trap. My business stopped being one of many and became the category leader in my niche.
It wasn't always comfortable, but it was liberating.

Would I Recommend It?
Absolutely. But here's the truth: if you're looking for a quick fix or a shiny tactic, this isn't for you. Selling Opportunity requires you to think differently and commit to repositioning your business.
But if you're tired of scraping by on improvements and ready to step into opportunity-driven selling , this is the book that will get you there.
The ROI I've seen—from higher revenue to shorter sales cycles—has more than justified my Diamond Membership many times over.
My Final Word
Getting Dan Kennedy's Selling Opportunity didn't just add a few more sales tricks to my arsenal. It transformed how I sell, how I price, and how I think about business.
I used to chase customers with promises of improvements. Now, I attract them with opportunities that feel revolutionary. And that shift has been the difference between struggling and thriving.
If you're serious about transforming your business, not just tweaking it, this is your chance. But remember—this book isn't available anywhere else. It's exclusive to Diamond Members, and once supplies are gone, they're gone.
So the real question is: are you ready to stop selling repairs and start selling opportunities?
