GoogleJuice Workshop, Midrand

We had an outstanding Internet marketing workshop at Baobab Conference Centre, Midrand on 30 October. I certainly think that it was an eye-opener for the 7 delegates that attended. Thanks Anthony for bringing your team Platinum Planet team. Johan, it was good seeing you again and I'm glad that your Springs Estate Agency is going from strength to strength. Hey Marlene, I look forward to looking at your designs sometime from Anything Creative. Leon, I hope your property development website flies after this workshop.

Last, but not least, thanks to Trevor Ketler for letting me use Baobab Conference Centre ... I found it to be outstanding.

Stealth Marketing Strategies for ABSA networkers

On 9 October Jacques de Villiers ran a "Stealth Marketing" session for entrepreneurs at an ABSA networking breakfast in Centurion. Approximately 50 entrepreneurs attended.

ABSA has a networking breakfast approximately every quarter to help its members increase their business. So far they've had Web Marketing by Adolph Kaestner, How to Persuade Anybody to do Almost Anything by Jacques.

The networking sessions are held throughout the country - Jacques has already presented for ABSA in Centurion, Pretoria North and Durban.

Jacques's latest offering is a half-day Internet marketing session called GoogleJuice.

Jacques presents at Cabanga client day

Michelle Kerrigan of Cabanga asked me to do a 45-minute keynote address to some of her clients on 21 August. She got such a good response to her mailer, that I had to run 3 sessions on the day.

I gave my signature keynote address How To Persuade Anybody to do Almost Anything on the day.

I enjoyed Dave Abbott (Abbott and Crabb fame) who entertained us with some tremendous music.

We both certainly sang for our supper as there were close on 200 guests spread over the three events.

I'd just like to say a big thank you to Michelle for introducing me to her clients and for giving me an opportunity to strut my stuff to them.
