Wendy's PR Crash Course
October 16-17, 2008
Orlando Marriott Downtown
400 W. Livingston Street, Orlando, FL 32801
Wendy's PR Crash Course WILL be a highly interactive, hands-on educational seminar from which you will leave with tangible results. You'll actually implement some of the tips and techniques we teach before you ever leave the event. That way, if you have questions, you'll still be in the room with the instructor and can ask questions RIGHT THEN to make sure you've got it.
Here are just SOME of the things you'll learn:
- How to use publicity to grow your business
- Why earned media can be more valuable than any paid advertising...and
how to get it
- What your true personality type is, why it matters in business, and how to use it to your advantage
(as well as how to work effectively with differing personality types)
- Strategies to help you clearly define your core message and determine your competitive advantage
- Techniques for creating compelling pitches to grab the attention of your
clients, prospects and the media
- Tips for launching a successful radio publicity campaign (from an
award-winning Top 40 radio host)
- Proven methods for effective networking with hands-on interaction to
ensure you have the techniques that will enable you to leave the event with qualified prospects, not
just a stack of useless business cards
- Guidelines for working with television media
- How to dress appropriately for on-air appearances
- ...and much, more more.
This will NOT be a "sit in your chair and listen to one talking head after another drone on about how they got super rich in just a few hours with very little effort" seminar. If you're looking to catch lightening in a bottle and get rich quick, this event is NOT for you.
