Part 1: Pursue Real Results

Too often business owners lose their shirts building services, products and even companies they’d never want to use, or work in. Stop wasting motion and get busy creating a company you love working in.

Meetings will never go away. As businesses continue to tighten the bottom line, some meetings will get cancelled, consolidated, reduced in size or executed virtually, but people will always need to meet face to face. The way meetings are conducted, however, is going to change. And meeting planners need to stay on top of technological advances, corporate initiatives, budget restrictions, attendee expectations, meeting innovations and organizational goals or risk becoming obsolete. Don't just adapt; innovate. As a meeting professional, you have more power than you think. In this session, Plan Your Meetings Editorial Director Kristi Casey Sanders will teach you three simple ways you can make a big difference.

In today’s fast paced society, e-mail marketing is becoming the favored communication method. More and more people are depending on e-mail to get the word out about their services. It is cost-efficient, provides a means to get your message out to a larger group of people in a shorter amount of time, and provides an easy method to respond with interest. As with any marketing program, there is a right way and a wrong way. We will teach you the right way and provide you with information you can use to make sure your e-mails work for you.

In today’s work environment, just doing a good job isn’t good enough. You need to know how to communicate your worth and share your successes. Plan Your Meetings Editorial Director Kristi Casey Sanders leads this interactive session that will teach you how to calculate your event ROI, and effectively communicate how the work you do contributes to your company’s bottom line and fulfills organizational goals.

What do Dan Kennedy, Jay Conrad Levinson and Jeff Gitomer all have in common? They understand the importance of repetitive marketing. Experts tell us that it takes a minimum of six times contacting a prospect before they're ready to trust you. Let us help you build that trust. Join Speaker Marketing Expert, Brenda Keefer for this live webinar. We will cover issues that speakers, trainers, coaches and consultants face today.

How to Market to Meeting Planners
Setting Your Fees
Making Your Materials Work for You

Bring your questions and prepare to learn how others are making their marketing count in today’s economy. Dan Kennedy, the world’s #1 marketing consultant and best-selling author, has agreed to give you $613.91 of his BEST Money-Making and Marketing Information for FREE…but his is NOT an open-ended offer. Dan will only make this offer to those attending the webinar.

That’s how it feels sometimes, doesn’t it? With so much “noise” out there, so many people vying for the attention (and wallet) of your prospective clients or attendees, how do make speaking business, your education programs, meetings, conferences and products stand out and generate revenue? You can do it the way everyone else does (and join the “blah blah blah” chorus) or you can do it differently. According to Terri Langhans, CSP, you’ll get better results when you resist the usual, expected and ordinary approaches and learn, instead, how to connect to what your target audiences truly want, and communicate it in a way that gets better response. Blah Blah Blah: How to Make Your Marketing Stand Out, Get Better Results and Attract More Business is ideal for speakers and meeting planners who want more bookings, higher sales and better attendance at their events.

Terri will zero in on these important “how to’s”

Distinguish your business, meeting, products and services from the competition.
Find your points of difference no matter how much you look like the other guy.
Create a competitive edge no one can copy.
Focus your marketing message in a meaningful and memorable way that generates response.
Create direct mail that works. (Don't you DARE say you've "tried it" and it "doesn't work.” Terri will probably find one or more of four things wrong with your attempt.)


Best of all, Terri will walk you through a case study of an association that had the guts to be anything but “blah” when they marketed their annual conference. It was held in New Orleans only eight months post-Katrina. She’ll share the behind-the-scenes strategy and creative
concept development that resulted in a 60% increase in attendance.
