Whether you're an agency, influencer or someone just trying to impress, you have to go the extra mile to make that first impression. I award the agency PUSH, in Orlando Florida (where I once called home) for showing me that the simple act of dressing up a proposal beyond the norm might be the difference between getting the gig and being lost in the shuffle.

Such is the case with my friend (and client) David Kahn Krav Maga. Recently we share the opportunity to explore the MA Supershow in Las Vegas with an invitation from Century Martial Arts (Century). For those in the know, Century is not only a giant in the retail and martial arts school space, but they're innovators that shape the industry. Their brand umbrella own Black Belt Magazine, MADrills.com and have countless cooperative relationships with other products that support the future of this incredible marketplace.

This introduction to Century is what lead us to send them our product-pact – and when we did, we pulled out all the stops.
