My AHA was learning about www.hellobar.com. I’m implementing that immediately. Thank you so much for a wonderful webinar.

Betsy H. – San Antonio

My AHA Moment was Gail’s big message…”to be a successful designer you MUST consistently market at least 2 hours each morning!”

Tina R. – P. – Milwaukee

What was most valuable for me was the idea to align my self with local business leaders and celebrities. I think this idea in particular will really support my business model.

Kari J. – Phoenix

Using surveys to garner interest!

Joylene A. – Warri, Nigeria

I have always hated marketing because I hate to be seen as pushy, but from today’s teaching my mindset has totally shifted. All the techniques are so natural and easy to do. One of my AHA moments is learning not to run my business on a reactive mode 2. The effectiveness of email marketing 3. Use of cards in building relationships with my clients.

Jean W. – Honolulu

AHA: Marketing – actual Project Management!

Marilyn H. – Nashville, TN

1 AHA – I love the “hello bar” option…but oh, the Meet-up idea…and why do a one-on-one, when you can do a one-on-many?! Duh! Thank you!

Cecilia P. – Kingwood

Articles with reasons and benefits is a great idea. Endorsements, another excellent idea. Thanks

Donnalynn P. – Half Moon Bay

I really appreciate your information. I know of all the steps you have covered and had abandoned them. Obviously, I wasn’t doing it correctly. I found it to be overwhelming. I now see that I was putting it last, not first. Simple as that. Isn’t it always. Thank you!

Jackie L. – Pleasant Hill, CA

The Stealth Marketing Secrets Seminar was full of easy, actionable ideas to help grow my business. My favorite idea was to tailor my e-mail messages to the individual reader -to write as though I communicating directly to my target client. It’s so easy to lose sight of the person you’re reaching out to when you’re wrapped up in putting together a marketing campaign.

Vicki – Thousand Oaks, CA

Consistency of marketing efforts–its something I am bad about. Not being totally reactive and controlling your time more.

Dawn D. – NYC

The idea of utilizing contests and surveys to create interaction between readers/clients and keep them clicking on your site, blog etc. is so simple that I could just kick myself for not having thought of it!

Cynthia G. – Greenwood Village

The “Organic ” email list makes sense to me…. I have resisted email marketing… Also I love the idea of doing a newsletter… after all… I Am THE EXPERT… People do want to hear from me… 30 years of experience…are you kidding? Of course! My Aha moment!

Wendy H. – Mill Valley

I’m learning all kinds of things – it’s hard to limit it to just one! The idea of purchasing cards in bulk is great, and so is the information about the Hello bar.

Lynda – Shelton

Best inspiration is to put in place a referral program. Thanks!

TCS – Santa Barbara

Staying in touch with present and past clients with on line and off line cards. I need to get their birthdays when we start working!

Mary E. G. – Mahtomedi, MN

Aha! Always have a call for action! I haven’t any calls to action on my blog and have no newsletter. Genius!

Linda – Summersville

I learned so much! I really love the Christmas in July idea. Also…”Call to Action”

Sandi B.- Woodbury MN

I appreciated the idea of having a file of cards/stamps/etc. ready to go to stay in touch with my clients. I always have the best of intentions then life gets in the way. How did my client know that I was thinking of them?

After one year in your Business Mastery Membership, I still get AHA moments – love it! Hellobar.com is new idea and stats on email conversion are helpful.

Deborah C. – Ottawa

I fall into the trap of dealing with all my new emails first thing when I start work in the morning. A big AHA was to seriously commit to putting the marketing first – every day!

Setting up the newsletter seems to me to be the way to go. It also sounds better than dong a blog, which I’ve not found to be something of interest to me.

Not at the moment, Valerie. We’re focused on giving content and when we can, we’ll work on getting CEUs. It’s quite a process – about 15 hours per class application!

Sheryl – Mitchellville

I am not sure if this fits into today’s discussion but, I have an opportunity to participate in a Fall show house. What advice do you have as using this as a marketing tool?

I’ve not done it myself. It is very expensive in time and money, and you have to work hard to get donations of items. Some people who have done it have benefited, so anyone reading this want to share your opinion?
