This will also help you create the story board you can utilize when creating your interactive media presentations we discussed over the past 2 weeks, the video marketing strategy we covered in Q4 of 2009 and will serve as your guide for your internet and social media marketing strategies we tackle each and every week.

WE WILL BE MEETING AT THE HYATT PLANO

RSVP HERE

3100 Dallas Parkway Plano, TX 75093 – (972) 378-3997

Part of designing our marketing roadmap included making better use of media networking. Today we will be interviewing you and recording the footage for YouTube. Some of these will be shot individually and some will be shot presentation style in front of your website on a large screen.

If you didn’t get filmed last week… don’t worry… You are first this week! Last week we filled the room… let’s double it this week with guests !

This will be the practice run preparing you for the professional recording, posting the video’s on youtube for your use on your websites. You can see last weeks video’s by going to www.youtube.com/compliments2009 (Click see all and they are directly under the college ball game videos).

If you are looking to advertise with online video, it may help to think of it in a very similar manner as you would traditional television content, with respect to creative. Not much has changed in that department. Successful ads still must capture viewer interest and connect that to your brand.

What has changed is how you can go about getting that content out. As opposed to the limited television route, which only offers viewers a small (although certainly larger compared to that of yesteryear) amount of channels, online video means practically limited channels. There are tons of video sites out there beyond the well-knowns like YouTube and Hulu. Most of these video sites have tons of channels. Most of them also enable users to embed videos, so videos that are hosted on these sites can be posted at any site on the web. You can of course offer this feature if you host your own video as well.

Not everyone can afford a big budget to make a really flashy looking video ad. There are ways around this for businesses with small budgets. You don’t need explosions to have a good ad. There are plenty of indie films that are better than Transformers 2, if you catch my drift.

As we prepare to bring in a professional video crew, we will continue to record these interviews through the balance of December to give you some great material for 2010 and for Google . We will also be taking some still pictures so you can learn how to SEO your images and video’s.

We will have a workshop attending while each of you are getting filmed, so don’t be late and RSVP early – - Last week we did not have enough room with all the last minute attendees so please RSVP online atleast 24 hours prior to the meeting and make sure your guests do as well. We are happy to have more than expected, but want you to not have to sit on each others laps as well.

This is the 2 hours that our group commits to working ON your business and not IN your business.

Come take advantage of a wealth of knowledge and experience, great people and networking and TACTICAL APPLICATION WORK for your business:

• 11:30 – Eat Lunch
• 11:45 – Video Recorded Interview (balance of class will be attending a workshop preparing you for the interview)
• 1:20 – Questions, thoughts and ideas.

We have limited space this week, so, you MUST RSVP to reserve your spot.

COST:

$25 for Non-Members (you do not have a membership card)
$15 for Members (you must present a valid membership card at the door to get the member rate)
Both, Include Lunch!

See you on Friday! We greatly appreciate your efforts in bringing guests to the training programs and promoting the event through your social networks.

Here’s what you’re going to learn in just eight short hours:

Presenter #1: Lee Colan, high-energy Executive Advisor, Author/Speaker/Trainer. Keynote Presentation: “Winners ALWAYS Quit”. When you were a kid you always heard the saying “winners never quit and quitters never win”. You may have even tried to live by that motto. Well the truth is winners always quit! Today’s winners quit every day. They even quit what we typically consider to be some pretty good habits. I wonder if you know what habits you should be quitting in order to increase your sales in a down economy and what habits you should start initiating today! You will find out by listening to Lee Colan’s Keynote Presentation.

Presenter #2: Dean Lindsay, Author/Speaker/Trainer & Founder of The Progress Agents. Keynote Presentation: “Cracking the Networking Code: 4 Steps to Priceless Business Relationships”. We all attend networking events, connect with new people, gather business cards, and go on our separate ways. It’s both how we prepare prior to networking events and what we do after those events in terms of follow up that truly matters. Dean will teach you six often over-looked networking strategies, ten ideas for creating a series of positive first impressions, how to create a powerful networking plan, how to ask “progress-focused” questions, and how to listen as if your lifestyle depended on it. Guess what? It does! So come listen to Dean during this powerful presentation!

“Perhaps the most powerful way to leverage and multiply your talent and ability is by expanding your personal and business network. Dean Lindsay shows you how.”
–Brian Tracy – Best Selling Author & Professional Speaker; Author of Getting Rich Your Own WayPresenter #3: Patrick Dougher, Coach/Consultant/Speaker and President of Doer Success Systems. Keynote Presentation: “Marketing without Money”. Let’s face it, money is tight these days. The people and companies that are successful today (i.e. profitable) are the ones taking advantage of all the ways they can effectively market without spending tons of money. Patrick will teach you hidden gems and easy ways to market your business, products and services by taking advantage of the newest social media websites. Patrick will also teach you various marketing methods to use with your existing customers and prospects that will actually get them off the fence to make quicker decisions to do business with you. You will want to hear what Patrick has to say about Marketing without Money!

Presenter #4: Jim Fortin, Neuro Selling Persuasion Expert, Author/Speaker/Trainer. Keynote Presentation: “Zero Effort Selling: The Power of Influence & Persuasion”. Jim has shared the speaking lineup with Tony Robbins, Donald Trump, George Foreman, Robert Kiyosaki, Dr. Phil and 100s of other national experts and he’s going to teach you the most advanced selling and persuasion skills available. Neuro Marketing is one of the top ten business trends of 2009 and Jim is one of just a handful of neuro marketing / selling experts in the country. Jim will teach you the art and science of how and why people buy – subconsciously, and how you can influence your prospects and clients to buy from you easier and quicker. The minute you start listening to Jim’s riveting presentation you’ll realize that his new selling technology is just what you need to sell more.

“I’ve taken my fair share of sales training, and Jim’s seminar ‘Zero Effort Selling’ blows it all away! He’s masterfully integrated language skills, hypnosis (yes hypnosis) and psychology to create a new sales technology. You’ll want to take his course.”
