Don’t get left behind by your colleagues and competitors who are effectively using their blogs to attract qualified leads and opportunities to their business every day. It’s a sad fact. About 98% of the business blogs Denise reviews are crappy. The author may truly be an expert and a fantastic person who gets amazing results for their clients, but they are sabotaging their business with a poorly optimized blog that works against them in so many ways.

When preparing your presentation, make sure you have specific answers to these seven critical teleseminar interview questions.

Alex Mandossian is one of my favorite Internet marketing heros. He adds enormous value to his followers, modeling the “5 Laws of Stratospheric Success” mentioned in The Go-Giver book by Bob Burg and David Mann.

During our biweekly Coaches Mastermind Group call this morning, Lynne Lee shared a testimony of how Kevin Nations’ free telecall on October 29 resulted in an immediate and complete mind shift regarding her value and expertise. That in turn resulted in significant financial fruit in less than 24 hours. I experienced something similar. Our Mastermind members requested a link to hear the replay of Kevin’s call.
