Get Your Money Where Your Mouth Is. How to use seminars and public speaking to market and promote your business, profession , or passion – profitably. David R. Portney 2009. ISBN 0976111179. This is a decent primer on public speaking as a business. But it is a really good example of non stop marketing and sales pitching on just about every page of the book. He gives you the simple step by step process of how to do this and all the logistics broken down into achievable bits. He follows the rules of marketing very well as well as giving you realistic expectations for the business. So if you can get past the pure US model rah rah selling style there is value in the book. It is very clearly written. watch for it on Amazon

I draw your attention to a Rocket Academy workshop. The Product Launch Workshop

rnordman — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 03:32:27 +0000

I draw your attention to an upcoming Rocket Academy workshop. The Product Launch Workshop .

We have compiled and compressed our best practices for Product Launch into a 1 day seminar. It is for those folks who have the responsibility for a product launch but have never had the formal training for it. Previous recipients of this training from us in private company settings have experienced a five fold increase in pickup and acceleration to their sales cycle compared to previous launches. We have never given this as a public session ever before. ( I confess I was against this as we do get tremendous results ($$$) with it). But I will be away in Argentina.

For this time only in Vancouver Dave and Geoff convinced our friends at the NRC to help(!) with the investment. So with their generous subsidy we can offer to you this information and access to our Product Launch specialists at ~ $200 bucks. This is a true value deal. We have partnered with our good friends at SFU Downtown, who have a great location, but seem to have a little trouble getting their online registration working. So there is still room in the session.

Time and location : March 13, 2008 – Vancouver, B.C. At SFU downtown (Time Centre)
