I’ll be sharing everything I know on generating leads and prospects: leads are the life blood and oxygen to business. Without leads, there are no prospects. Without prospects, there are no customers. Without customers there is not revenue. And without revenue there is not business. But there is no revenue without sales.
This workshop will explore everything you need to know and more about marketing! It is in hackathon format. A hackathon is an event in which participants work on their business intensively for a short period of time. Hack or hacking from the word hackathon, shouldn’t be confused with gain unauthorized access to systems or writing software. In this context, it refers to creating shortcuts that increase output and outcomes. Hackathons are short events that are low-risk, yet high-yield. A hackathon forces participants determine where they are at, what marketing problems they need solve and then solve them in real time. There is hustle, urgency, sense of purpose, resourcefulness, creativity, agility and speed to market, all without “betting the farm.”
This is NOT a lecture (me delivering information) a NOR seminar (me delivering information plus discussion.) It has a small amount of information delivered, including theory, case studies and role-plays – enough for you (with me helping and answering any questions) to take that and create a step-by-step plan of attack in the workshop that you can implement after.
On completion of this hackathon students will be able to:
- Create a customized marketing methodology for their brand;
- Apply that marketing methodology to their brand;
- Create customised marketing communication for their brand;
- Apply that marketing communication to their brand;
- Create customise marketing content for their brand;

>>>THE VALUE<<<
When I first started working in marketing and sales, one of the most important things I did was model myself and learn from people who had been there, done that and were already having the kinds of success I wanted. It saved me what I estimate to be years of time and effort; if you were to try to figure all this out on your own through trial and error it would probably take more than a year or so. I have been through the learning curve and the tuition cost is nowhere the opportunity cost of spending your time. You will get all that knowledge and experience for a fraction of that cost. Of course I wish I could have bought this knowledge, insight and experience for this price when I started. And I know that you will be glad you made this investment – you are buying money at a heavy discount!
