Contact Dean Mercado
Let's Figure Out Why You're Here.
Whether you're thinking about coaching, looking to book me for a stage or a podcast, or just caught me speaking somewhere and want to reconnect — there's a fast, honest way to each of those below. Coaching applications come straight to me, and I read every one myself. Speaking and podcast requests get reviewed before anything's booked. Everything else, call or email. Real person, 1–2 business days.
General Inquiry
Not Coaching. Not Speaking. Just Talk to Someone.
This is the line for anything outside a coaching application or a speaking request — a quick question, a press ask, or just saying hello. Not the place for cold pitches, I'll spot those fast. Call or email, and expect to hear back within 1–2 business days from me or my team.
Quick Answers
Everything People Ask Before They Call.
These are the real questions people ask me before they ever reach out. Chances are, one of these already answers what brought you here. If yours isn't here, use my contact information in the General Inquiry section and ask it directly.
How do I contact Dean directly?
Depends what you need. Coaching goes through the Coaching page. Speaking and podcasts go through the form on the Events page. For everything else, use the information in the General Inquiry section to call or email.
How fast will I hear back, and who's actually reading this?
1–2 business days. Coaching applications, I read every one myself. Everything else comes through me and my team, no bots, no auto-replies.
I'm press or a podcast host. Is this the right way to reach you?
Can I pitch you my service through this page?
You can try. But this line’s for real questions, not sales pitches, and I can usually tell the difference in about four seconds.
I just saw you speak. How do I follow up?
Same way anyone else does, General Inquiry, call or email. Tell me where you saw me. I remember more of those rooms than you’d think.
How do I apply for coaching?
Through the Coaching page, not this one. You’ll pick between private coaching and the Boardroom, and the application goes straight to me.
Not sure what you actually need yet?
Take the S.C.A.L.E. Bottleneck Buster, a free three-minute diagnostic that points you toward what’s actually holding your business back before you ever talk to me.
