A jet-setting entrepreneur and a true businessman, RD Whittington<\/a> is always on the move. From selling exclusive cars, making dreams come true for celebrities to delivering toys to the LA Shriner\u2019s Children\u2019s Hospital- he always believes in doing good. It\u2019s no wonder his list of clients and close friends include the likes of Floyd Mayweather, Leonardo DiCaprio, Scott Disick, Jamie Foxx, The Weeknd and many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From rare cars to movies to brokering private jets and yachts, Whittington is the modern day genie to some of Hollywood\u2019s hottest celebrities, \u201cI\u2019ve loved aviation all my life and I have my student pilot license. It\u2019s great to be able to secure private jets and many of the world\u2019s exclusive toys for my clients\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the high flying businessman recalls a time in the early days when close friend and business partner Jamie Foxx aided in promoting his luxury car dealership and this catapulted Whittington to being the go-to car guy for movie productions and many projects alike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a network takes time, especially if that includes the world’s elite celebrities. For a person like Whittington whose rolodex includes some of the world\u2019s most influential people, he definitely has picked up some secrets along the way that has allowed him to be successful and form partnerships that some can only dream of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When businesses or people want to engage celebrities for things like conferences, events, promotional campaigns etc. It’s important that they work with someone who knows how to work with celebrities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They need someone who understands the unique type of\ninteraction that’s involved, how to make deals, and what to expect when working\nwith them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RD Whittington said that in the world of celebrities, it’s all about developing relationships through friendship and business. RD teaches us how to connect with people on a personal level: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Provide value and deliver results<\/strong>: I am known for making the impossible possible and dreams a reality for celebrities. From custom vehicles for a birthday party to selling exclusive and rare cars for Mayweather, the only way I continue to expand my business is I prioritize customer service over money. I always believed that if I continue to master my craft and deliver results, the money will eventually take care of itself- so far it has worked out well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The average person who approaches an influential person asks for something without returning the favour or doesn\u2019t provide any value in the relationship. You must determine what you can offer them in hopes of developing a professional relationship that\u2019s mutually beneficial. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor me it\u2019s not about the money but it\u2019s making people\u2019s dreams a reality. Customer service is a high priority and I always try to go the extra mile to make the impossible possible. I\u2019ve lived my life by the saying that if I help others get what they want, I will eventually achieve my goals- the law of reciprocity is how I lead my life.\u201d Whittington says. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

2. Build your personal brand:<\/strong> It\u2019s extremely important for people to sense and understand that you exude trust and have credibility- both personally and professionally. You only have about 30 seconds or less to make a connection and demonstrate your credibility. When you gain access to the celeb or VIP always be respectful and never waste their time. Key points people consider when deciding to do business with you or build a relationship are: your track record of success, are you the expert or best in your field of work, your background and character. Making sure that you are the real deal, being authentic and confident in your abilities makes your clients feel comfortable working with you.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whittington mentions, \u201cWhen I do business with the likes of Mayweather, Taylor Swift or other celebrities it\u2019s because I have built a track record of success which allows me to not only continuously do business with them but it opens other opportunities for their friends and others alike to want to work with me through positive word of mouth.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

3. Attend exclusive VIP events and conferences:<\/strong> At the end of the day, you have to be willing to invest the necessary amount of money to get in touch with high profile celebrities as most value their privacy and security. \u201cMost people attend key networking events to make important connections and establish relationships that will lead to landing new deals or closing existing ones. To optimize your success at these events, prepare meetings by doing your homework on who\u2019s attending those events and make a list. In addition, have a set agenda on the outcome you\u2019re looking to achieve so you utilize your time effectively. Remember to be memorable through a story or mention what you admire about them- people love to talk about themselves so give them the opportunity to do so! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
