Are you Self-Employed, Unemployed or just Under-Employed?

By Blog No Comments

It’s my Anniversary! No, not my wedding anniversary (although that’s coming up in May). April 1st is one year since I untied The Knot, as some friends of mine so eloquently put it. While it’s been a somewhat seamless process, as I’ve still been out speaking, training  and writing, it’s been a year that I’ve been doing it now as an independent consultant, speaker and author.

What does that mean to you? 

Well, for one thing I’m self-employed like many, if not most of you reading this. It’s not my first time owning and running my own business, but it had been 12 years since I published two WeddingPages magazines. In some ways it was like getting back on the bike after not riding for a long time and in others it was a new experience.

I found myself doing things I wouldn’t have done 11 years ago, including investing in better marketing materials, technology and branding. I did invest in those things back then, but I was more timid about it. Now I find that I’m more bold, more confident and more decisive in my decisions, very much as I advise my clients to do.

Live website reviews with Alan

By Speaking Events No Comments

If your website was an employee, would you fire it?

Have a one-on-one website review by marketing expert Alan Berg and find out.

Have an interactive experience with one of the best in the business. Alan Berg, author, professional speaker and marketing expert, is bringing his unique marketing talents to Houston in conjunction with the Wedding Industry Leaders Conference (June 5th).

Only 7 businesses will be accepted to participate in these website/marketing reviews. This will ensure that each company will get a hands-on, real world look at how to improve their websites and collateral materials (business cards, brochures, postcards, menus, flyers and more).

You’ll hear Alan discuss how to make your website convert more of the traffic you’re already getting. Alan will look at each participant’s website and collateral materials and you’ll walk away with real, usable tips on how to improve them.

You’d pay a lot more to have Alan review your website and materials. Be one of only 8 businesses to attend, register today above.

Each session will be 45 minutes and we’re offering it to you, for only $165, much less than his usual $250/hour rate.

And the winner is…

By Blog 2 Comments

I’m just back from another great Catersource conference, this being my first representing my own company, not a media company. My time was jam packed with presentations, consultations and my trade show booth. I saw some familiar faces and made some new friends.

At my booth I had all 3 of my books, my 5 DVDs and I was featuring my new online video site AlanBerg.tv, which now has 3 different “All Access” pass subscriptions: 3 months, 6 months or 12 months, where you can watch all of the full-length presentations for one, low price.

I had a box at my booth where I was offering a Free One-Year All Access Pass subscription for one winner who dropped their card in the box.

And the winner is: Laurent Glasroth, from Out To Lunch Catering in Vancouver, BC.

Laurent will be able to watch these full presentations and more (keep reading and see how you can, too):

• Close More Sales, Today!
• Your Attitude for Success
• 5 Reasons Why They’ll Leave Your Website in 5 Seconds
• Speak Like a Pro
• Creating an Exceptional Customer Experience
• Bridal Black Belt (my highly acclaimed keynote presentation from Wedding MBA 2011)
• Bride’s Buying Signals (also from Wedding MBA 2011)
• and 6 more videos (with more to come)

As I add more videos, Laurent will be able to see those as well.

Everyone Wins!

In honor of a successful conference I want to offer all of you a discount to get on AlanBerg.tv to watch these videos. Just use the Coupon Code “SAVE10” and you’ll save $10 off any “All Access Pass” 3, 6 or 12 month subscription.

Bridal Show Producers International (BSPI) annual conference

By Speaking Events 2 Comments

I’m delighted to be invited back to present at the BSPI annual conference. I know how important bridal shows are to so many wedding pros and we’re going to be discussing many ways to enhance the experience of both the brides and the wedding pros who exhibit.

I’ll be presenting “Can your business survive without Social Media”, a different take on what you should and don’t have to be doing on Facebook, etc. We’ll also have a Town Hall discussion on new ideas.
