Selling Out Your Events By ASKING Your Prospects What They Want
It’s almost May and I’ve already attended 7 events in 2011 and all of these events had a healthy number of people in attendance. One thing surprised me though— none of these events used this one strategy that can totally capitalize on filling your event AND also help you plan your event, speakers, activities, etc. This strategy is so simple, it’s basically creating a survey and sending it out to everyone who’s registered for the event.

Moving Forward by Measuring Your Results Backwards
On the 4 hour drive home from D.C. after being at Yanik Silver’s Underground 7 event, I spent a lot of time mulling over the one day training we spent with Dan Sullivan of www.StrategicCoach.com He gave us SO MUCH valuable information, there’s no way I can tell you everything here in this post. The one thing that really stuck with me is his whole process of the 21 Day Positive Focus exercise. I do something similar to this now, but this took what I do and put it on steroids.
