Alaric Ong is a Singapore-based entrepreneur, speaker, and business coach who scaled his coaching business from zero to $1.2 million in 18 months — with no capital, no investors, and no safety net, after sharpening his skills at Draper University in Silicon Valley. He now runs Singapore's largest Facebook Marketing Community, serving thousands of clients across Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, the UK, the US, Australia, and Ireland. Through his flagship program, The Apollo Method, he teaches marketing, branding, and sales — built on the belief that sales is "the only skill that puts money in your pocket."
