Be the King of Your Jungle

Which is kind of like plowing a field with a Porsche 911 Turbo. It might look awesome, but boy are you mis-using a powerful machi...

7 Crucial Steps to Closing New Clients

But webinars should not just be a replacement for traditional seminars and client events. Webinars come with their own advantages, their own challenges… and their own best practices.

Our own studies here at Bill Good Marketing show that you are worth at least $1,000/hour in gross revenue when meeting with and talking to clients and prospects.
But how often do you spend meeting and talking with clients and prospects? Probably not nearly as much as you would like.
