Okay, you won't need your work boots, but come ready to work. Bring your laptop — and leave with a detailed action plan that you will already have started to implement during the workshop! If you don't have a laptop, come anyway and we will walk you through the steps visually. BONUS: Each person will receive more than $250 worth of Neil's marketing and sales coaching books, white papers, and audio and video downloads.

You will learn:
  • What you must know in order to instruct and work with your web person(s), so they know what must be done to make sure customers find you — and how to design your website so it actually produces sales!
  • How to build an online marketing and sales machine that positions you as "the expert" and attracts customers to you — so you can make more sales, with less selling!
  • How to make three "quick fixes" that will make your website clearly visible to prospective customers.
  • How to use email marketing to boost sales easily and quickly -- at no cost.
  • How to treat your home page like a newspaper ad that sells!
  • How to use Google Places' free business maps to get near the top of Google listings, free of charge.
  • How to use Google & YouTube to promote your business (they're the new yellow pages & they're free!).
  • How to hold and promote events (on-land and on-line) that attract both new and repeat customers.
  • How to use Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising to guarantee that prospects find you. (Note: Local PPC advertising is cheap, fast, and highly effective — but is hardly ever used — giving you a tremendous competitive advantage).
    Why and how to use social media marketing to drive traffic and sales — at literally no cost!

Can’t I just leave this up to our webmaster?

No, you really can’t. This workshop will give you the knowledge you must have in order to direct and work with your web professional(s) effectively. Most web developers are highly skilled in programming or design, but very few are marketers. This workshop is all about marketing & sales.
