=> Closed Monday for Labor Day + lead generation strategies webinar
New Webinar for ALL Members & Public
Hey,
Are you tired of the never-ending search for new clients?
With the right lead generation system in place, you can stop working so hard--because lead generation brings prospects to YOU.
So if you're ready to stop chasing business, join me on Thursday at 10 AM for this powerful webinar, where you'll learn:
which lead gen system is right for you and your business
how to set up an effective one-and-done system
which tools you need (and which you don't)
YES, all members are welcome.
YES, the public is also welcome.
YES, this will be recorded (both audio and video). Paid registration includes it all; the recordings, slides and notes will be emailed to registrants and posted for members in the Marketing Classes section on this page: Lead Generation
Labor Day means that we won't have our regular Action Calls on Monday morning. I will miss you all, and look forward to reconnecting at the monthly marketing webinar on Thursday, or at the first Marketing Coaching call of the month on Friday.
