93 - From the Bronx to $100M in Event Sales: The 6-Phase Framework with Pedro Jerez!

On this episode of The High Profit Event Show, host Rudy Rodriguez welcomes Pedro Jerez, the founder of Mad Events Media, for a powerful and tactical conversation on how to build, fill, and scale high-converting events with purpose and precision. Pedro is no stranger to impact—he’s the architect behind the largest paid virtual event in the coaching industry and has helped generate over $100 million in event revenue since 2017. His experience ranges from serving under Tony Robbins to running events that serve tens of thousands of attendees with tight, six-week timelines. This episode goes deep into his step-by-step framework that has transformed how event leaders approach growth, profitability, and purpose.

Pedro begins by sharing his journey from growing up in the Bronx to dropping out of university at 18 to work under Tony Robbins. That early exposure to a multi-nine-figure event machine became his real-world education and the foundation for his current success. From that foundation, Pedro developed what he calls a six-phase framework for filling and scaling events. The conversation dives into each phase—from capturing underpriced attention with content-first strategies, to executing lean, data-driven marketing campaigns, to optimizing for backend revenue and lifetime customer value.

A major highlight of the episode is Pedro’s unique focus on operational discipline and precision. He breaks down the daily workflow his team follows to monitor KPIs like opt-in rate, average order value, and net customer acquisition cost. His approach emphasizes real-time responsiveness and rapid testing—often deploying multiple split tests per day—to create ideal conditions for profitable scaling. Rudy and Pedro also discuss the mindset shift required to treat events as ecosystems rather than one-time experiences, showing how thoughtful event design can open the door to long-term client relationships, new verticals, and even brand acquisitions.

Equally important is Pedro’s emphasis on purpose. He believes that successful event leaders approach their work with generosity, integrity, and intention. Whether it’s embedding impact into your brand message or engaging attendees emotionally from the first touchpoint, Pedro shares how the best events don’t just generate revenue—they create movements.

If you’re ready to take your event strategy to the next level with a proven, scalable system, this episode is a must-listen. Pedro’s insights are tactical, actionable, and rooted in experience at the highest level of the industry. Tune in and learn how to create events that perform, inspire, and endure.
