Tom Antion is one of my GURUS! He started out as a highly-paid and well-regarded professional speaker, and people kept asking to purchase his knowledge and techniques on the speaking industry. He now makes more money by selling his knowledge not just on speaking, but also internet marketing, than the already serious money he was making (and still does) from live presenting.
I've attended three of his Electronic Marketing Butt Camps (because you sit on your butt to learn all day!). The first was in Washington, D.C. in 2000, Orlando, then Florida in 2002, and in 2003 we managed to persuade him to come to New Zealand. If you've been visiting my site for a while, you will have seen the changes evolve. That's Tom's influence, in the main.
Once you've attended the first Buttcamp you can go back for free whenever he runs them. (If you get to any, you've got a good chance of finding me in the audience!) This is terrific value. There's no way you can integrate all the information he shares in just one seminar, plus he's always ahead with new knowledge. I've even got the tapes, and still haven't applied everything he's taught me - there's so much practical knowledge crammed into every session. However, once I started applying his concepts I began to make good money off my website, which just makes me hungry to go back, learn more, and get refreshed and reinspired!
A brilliant investment of my time and money (and you know how important time is to me!).
He's got so many sites, you'll find the link at the top takes you straight to his Speaker Shop, so you can choose your own areas of interest. (Don't worry, you won't get stuck in a shopping cart - you'll find links to his huge information-rich sites as you click through.)
Like so many companies we found after some years of business that our important data was scattered across several software platforms. It was very difficult (change that to nearly impossible!) to get any accurate picture of our business 'vital statistics'. That was one problem. And there was another one.
As the business grew it become increasingly complex (aka expensive!) to manage regular and relevant communication with not only our faithful ezine subscribers but also all the many people who've been in touch with us over the years.
And then I found InfusionSoft. The final decision-maker for us was the way in which every one of our processes and communication systems can be run from the one very powerful engine. The service is hosted online, taking away all the synchronisation hassles - a perfect solution for a virtual company such as ours. And we're already finding that it simplifies many processes, thereby saving costs. Plus, I don't know of any other company that gives you such personal hands-on training to ensure their users know how to use the many powerful tools.
A fantastic tool for any entrepreneurial organisation with a sales culture.
