Mike Boccia: How to Not Suck at Presentations

By Jennie Bellinger | February 20, 2025 |

About Mike Boccia:

Mike Boccia has been in Sales and Marketing for over 25 years. He’s been called a “serial entrepreneur” since starting his first business, landscaping, at 15. Then came a limo company while attending Hofstra University, a nightclub at 21, a restaurant at 23, and the list goes on.

Mike really honed his sales skills as a licensed advisor with Transamerica Financial Advisors, where he had hundreds of clients in several states (without ever having a customer complaint!). Other reps saw Mike’s success and started asking for his help, and of course, he was happy to oblige. Eventually, he began opening successful financial offices and training advisors to work in them. After seeing the rapid growth, Transamerica soon had Mike speaking at conferences, flying to other offices to train, and attending high-level meetings to discuss the future of the firm. Mike eventually left the financial industry and ventured into the technology space, where he founded iDecide Interactive.

Mike is now an author, speaker, coach, CEO, and most importantly, a father to his 2 beautiful daughters.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Mike Boccia discuss:

  • Importance of Effective Sales Presentations
  • Common Challenges in Network Marketing
  • The Creation and Purpose of iDecide
  • Interactive Automation for Better Engagement
  • Scalability and Duplication for Leaders

Key Takeaways:

  • Even with a great product, poor delivery can lead to failure, and the ability to tell a compelling story is just as important as the product itself.
  • Rejection, lack of confidence, and time-consuming presentations push many to quit. 
  • iDecide ensures every prospect gets a perfect presentation, no matter who shares it; it levels the playing field, allowing even beginners to succeed quickly.
  • When prospects actively participate in a presentation, the use of interactive elements not only captures their curiosity but also sustains their engagement, making them more likely to stay interested and absorb the information being presented.
  • Leaders must scale without burning out, and tools like iDecide free up time, allowing leaders to focus on mentorship and expansion.

“If you can’t tell the story and get people interested, you’re broke.” — Mike Boccia
