Speeches

Do you know who (or what) you're really competing against in the marketplace? Sounds like a silly question that many would answer with, "Of course I know!" But some of those same folks bang their heads against a wall with selling frustration. Why? They're trying to sell against the wrong competition, putting themselves in a sales game they shouldn't even be playing. In other cases, new, odd or invisible competition is pulling precious customers away. In this session we'll discuss: * Why Everything (and Nothing) is Your Competition * Invisible Competitors (the Toughest Kind!) * One Question that Can Help Define You, Your Customers and Competitors

“You can’t (or shouldn’t) sell on social media!” Usually that’s the reaction from people who haven’t been able to do it OR who feel it’s un-cool to promote yourself on the networks. The truth is you CAN sell using social media… all depends on how you use it. In this session on social selling and marketing, we’ll discuss: * What is “Social Selling?” * Moving from community to conversation to cash! * What results can you expect and how should they be measured? * Best practices. * Advertising possibilities and pitfalls.

Save time, money and your brand by learning how to use the Promo With Purpose principles developed by marketing coach and promotional expert, Heidi Thorne. In this session you'll learn how to evaluate the who, what, why, where when and how factors that affect the sales and marketing process... and how to use these factors to more effectively reach your target audience.
