Tes'monial This program is absolutely brilliant. It logically addresses the many cri7cal components of building a dynamic career and thriving prac7ce. Had this program been around when I was building my professional presence, I would have been be=er equipped to address the many challenges much more effec7vely. Kudos to Rod and Mel.

Tes'monial I have done BV/LS work since the late 90s in a niche firm and was hired here to develop a BV/LS department. They had made the tradi7onal firm effort, and of course it didn't work. I have had some of the tradi7onal firm hurdles, but they are coming around. My par7cipa7on in this class is both support for my case to them for what needs to be done and a big push for me out of my comfort zone. Thanks for all you are doing.

05 – Working Other Social Media
The key to working other social media networks is finding out which one
your clients and ideal prospects use.
Thus, never fall in love with a network.
Instead, fall in love with the people and work the network that let’s you reach them!

Tes'monial Thank you so very much for your help! The PBA has been very helpful and I look forward to u7lizing it all year! … I was just asked this [morning] to write a column for an online business resource with about 84,000 contacts throughout the Southeast! I will need help in providing content for this online resource. I will go back and listen to the [PBA] webinar on this.

Tes'monial So much informa7on that I never realized or understood. It was a great webinar for me because it clarified several areas that I was confused about. I would say that I wish I had this class 4 years ago. The classes themselves are what I have hoped for in regards of providing me with the informa7on in geHng the prac7ce started. I have been asking Brien at NACVA for this type of instruc7on for four years. I am glad someone finally saw the need.

Tes'monial Due to conflicts, I got behind aber the first webinar – but have since gone through the addi7onal two recorded sessions. So, I’m caught up – and have been working on a detailed plan using many of the sugges7ons to date. This is a very worthwhile process for me to go through. You’re both doing an excellent job!

10 – Campaigning With Direct Mail
It takes many “touches” to close a sale (get an engagement).
Direct mail can be an efficient and effec've way to make one of those touches.
We discuss how post cards, newsleWers, and press releases can be used to unobtrusively garner the aWen'on of your ideal prospects!

Tes'monial It is really an excellent opportunity for all of us to build a solid prac7ce that we are proud to call our own. I know the difficulty for [me] is to spend the 7me working "on" the business when the days are so full working "for" the business. A sincere thank you again to both you for the next 140 hours that you will put into this program in just "on the air" 7me. My goal is to work at least as hard as you do!

Tes'monial The training is FABULOUS and I am so thankful to be a part of this inaugural class! The content is just so great and it all fits together and makes so much sense. I can see now the progression of why the modules are laid out the way they are and how you really have to get each piece in place before moving on. [Rod] and Mel have done a great job! The [guest] speakers have been great too!
