A Heretical Thought: Deliver Value BEFORE They Buy
Conventional marketing wisdom dictates that you carpet bomb the media with pleas to potential customers to buy your product and services. You hope to generate a few leads and convert a few of those to sales. It’s a volume game, and you work hard to get each sale. A quick glance at printed and online media, or listening to the radio, reveals this is the approach still very much in vogue.

But the Internet is changing all that as more and more is available for FREE. What insights can the small business owner learn from this change, and what dubious business models are best left avoided? How can we master the fear of FREE? In this inspiring and entertaining talk, Allen Snook, the Small Business Biker, will take you on a ride to the land of FREE: Delivering Value BEFORE They Buy.
