Coming Attractions for 2008

What's on tap from Action Plan Marketing this coming year?

I've taken a long and relaxing Holiday vacation and am ready to launch several exciting marketing projects and programs.

Perhaps this will also inspire you to create big plans for your New Year as well. The first is a free teleclass next week.

No-Hype Internet TeleClass

You are probably aware that I now do most of my marketing via the Internet (email and web), but that I don't actually teach Internet Marketing. Nevertheless, increasing numbers of subscribers and clients are interested in how to use Internet marketing in their businesses.

The problem is, too much Internet marketing is all hype and little substance. Where can you get reliable information on how to use the Internet to sell information-based products and services?

One of my most reliable sources is Ken McCarthy who produces "The System Seminar." I asked Ken if he'd be willing to be interviewed about "No-Hype Internet Marketing" and he agreed. We'll be offering a free TeleClass next week, Weds., Jan 9th at 12:00 noon Pacific time. Click below to reserve your space:

Hands-On Audio Programs

In 2007 I recorded and released five Audio Programs of interviews with marketing and business experts. I'll continue this next year, and my goal is six new Audio Programs. The first will be released later in January. The topic will be "Accelerating Client Results" with Patrick Summar. Patrick will outline his proven system for supporting clients in producing breakthrough results.

For Patrick, this system has resulted in a stream of highly qualified referrals who pay him very high fees. You'll learn several high-leverage tools that have the power to accelerate client results, helping you grow your own business.

(Interested in other Audio Program topics this year? Let me know!)

National Marketing Workshop Tour

This is my most exciting project for 2008. I'll be touring the U.S and Canada, holding one-day marketing workshops in ten cities in June and July. Right now, the dates are as follows:

Wed, June 4 - Cincinnati, OH
Sat, June 7 - Miami, FL
Wed, June 11 - Boston, MA

Wed, June 25 - Detroit, MI
Sat, June 28 - Toronto, Ont Canada
Wed, July 9 - San Francisco, CA
Sat, July 12 - Kansas City, MO
Wed, July 16 - Portland, OR
Sat, July 19 - Vancouver, BC Canada

These dates and locations are subject to change, but mark your calendars now and I'll be giving you more details in a month or so. Workshop fee will be only $149.

Marketing Book

I plan to write and publish my first mass-market book in 2008. The tentative title is: "Marketing Ball - Winning the Game of Attracting More Clients." I've been struggling with moving ahead with this but have finally run out of excuses! I also want your help in writing this book, and you'll hear more about that soon.

The Marketing Certification Program

This is the project I now devote the most time, effort and passion to - training and certifying Action Plan Marketing Coaches. If you'd like to take your business to a whole new level, I invite you to learn more and apply to the next program starting this spring:

I think these projects will keep me busy for awhile!

My goal is to share some of the strategies we've developed with more business coaches.(like how we helped a coach struggling with a major cashflow challenge generate 55 leads, & 24 appointments in 3 hours for $2.54!)

Robert, here's to your success in 2008

Robert,

I really wish you would stop by in Dallas-or near us. You have lots of fans here!

[Rachel Saint]

This blog is so appropriate for me right now as I am starting my goal setting process for my personal and professional life.

My goals are as follows:

Generate sufficient additional income to pay off debts

To secure a long-term, lucrative publishing deal

To retain my focus on my business and enjoy a working planning process.

To become more physically healthy and vital every day.

Many thanks

Robert,

I'm going to spend more time writing articles, ebooks and blogging about making money online using Web 2.0 techniques. I've been very successful using Web 2.0 to promote my websites and blogs so it's time for me to teach others. I'm going to do free teleclasses and webinars to show people how easy it is to generate traffic with Web 2.0. There's nothing better than getting tons of targeted traffic to your website!!

I can't wait to attend your live events this year. I really enjoyed your presentation at The Bay Area Consultants Network in San Rafael last year. and I can't wait to see you in 2008.

Thanks for helping us all succeed!

Ted

Hi Robert, Happy New Year!
My plans this year are to do more of the things I love: the blogging, article writing, workshops and seminars. I'm determined to get myself and my team working as efficiently as possible and to make 2008 an even more successful year than last year. I'm sure that we'll get there, and thank you for your inspiring and thought provoking tips that have helped me along the way.

Happy New Year Robert!

It is great to hear your plans. When you get your travel schedule firmed up, please let me know and I am happy to let my blog readers know about it.

Good luck with the book! This is the year I am writing mine too, so I am right with your "no excuses" thought.

An alternative way to look at it: now is the PERFECT time to do it. Earlier it wasn't. That is what I am telling myself anyway!

Selfishly I would love to see a few more blog posts from you too, but if you can't pack it all in, your list looks grand to me.

Thanks for being such a great inspiration to us all.

Robert, we'd love to see you in Denver! Email me if I can help coordinate. Otherwise, I might have to drive 8-9 hours east and catch you in KC.

Hi Robert,

I'm looking forward to your book and wish one of the stops on your personal tour was Dallas.

My primary goal this year is to write and market more consistently and learn to use teleseminars effectively.

I remember something from you in a newletter, I think, about a system for goal-setting - I think you called it ITOKA. I can't find it in any of my archives. Could you direct me to it?

Thanks for making marketing simple!

I have some big plans for 2008 and one of them is to write a training manual for my direct selling division of my company. Like you I'm experiencing stuckness, and I was glad to hear that I'm not the only one.

I decided I need some help and have taken that step and hopefully this will correct my nervousness and fear.

Without the manual I can't advertise for consultants which will then limit my sales and my growth.

Thank you for your newsletter I look forward to reading it for it's very good advice.
