Professional Tips

Presentation  

Don't Spray and Pray: Don't spray tons of information on your audience and pray that they “get it”. The Spray and Pray method kills off a perfectly good audience and is the DDT of yester-year. Many presenters still use it today and audiences die within minutes – as well as the presenter.

You can create a powerful and profitable
 presentation.
 

   
Marketing  

Today's marketing seminars are too academic. Businesses using seminars to disseminate service and product information will see little return on their investment. Contrary to popular belief, audiences do not come to hear information; they come to experience the results of having information.

Invest wisely: first Educate, then Market.

   
Workshops  

 

Businesses have difficulty selling profitable workshops. Why? Only true workshops are profitable workshops, and most businesses don't know how to develop true workshops. Consumers see a high price tag but are unclear on the value. Only true workshops - programs filled with work rather than lecture - have real value to customers. True workshops turn customer satisfaction into referrals and referrals into profitability.

Workshops that Work sell themselves and generate profit

   
Websites
A business website should be a site on the web, not filled with webs that entangle the reader in endless threads of text. Your website should be a pleasant shopping experience - just as pleasant as doing business with you.

Captivate rather than capture your visitors

   
Brochures  
Show me a targeted brochure with a targeted message for a targeted market and I'll show you successful business collateral.

Target the market, then target the message
 
   
Advertising  
Self-promotional ads are just that - self-promotion. If customers cannot see themselves in your self-promotions, then only you will know how good you are.

Consumers read ads that talk about them - not you
