Hi Everyone!<\/p>\n
I hope you’re enjoying this fabulous holiday season and are getting ready for a new year and decade so awesome that it’ll erase all the angst, stress and hardships of the last one.<\/p>\n
Are you going to be\u00a0in Orlando for the ASI Show from January 3-5?\u00a0I am! If you’re there, please join me on Education Day (Sunday, 1\/3) for two panel discussions I’ll be moderating.<\/p>\n
If you’re an exhibitor, take a break from setting up your booth on Sunday for a free luncheon panel <\/strong>just for suppliers featuring four top distributor salespeople: Dan Jellinek from Touchstone Marketing — one of Counselor <\/em>magazine’s Fastest Growing Distributors; Mercy Crespo from Counselor <\/em>Top 40 distributor HALO\/Lee Wayne; Burke Buchanan from Counselor <\/em>Top 40 distributor Vernon; and Joe George from Counselor <\/em>Top 40 distributor American Solutions for Business. They’ll share with you what it takes to win and keep their business, and their stance on topics like who’s responsible for product safety, what makes a great supplier and what they’d like to see from trade show exhibitors. This exhibitors-only luncheon discussion, “What Distributors Want\u00a0From You,”\u00a0will be held from 12:00-1:30 p.m. in room 202AB of the Orlando Convention Center.<\/p>\n If you’re a distributor, join me for a panel discussion on a topic near and dear to my heart: “The Fine Art of Creative Self-Promotion.” To be held on Sunday, 1\/3, from 2:45-3:45 p.m. in room 104 of the Orlando Convention Center, this panel will feature: Power 50 member Greg Muzzillo, co-CEO of Counselor <\/em>Top 40 distributor Proforma — a company that’s won numerous awards for its phenomenal self-promo campaigns; Leo Eisner, a 50-year industry veteran and top sales rep with Counselor<\/em>Top 40 distributor HALO\/Lee Wayne who’s generated a majority of his business over the years through self-promo initiatives; and Jake Krolick, ASI’s new media marketing guru, who’s an expert at using tools like video, Facebook and Twitter\u00a0to boost sales and business. \u00a0<\/p>\n I look forward to seeing you all at the first national ad specialty trade show of the year, and hope you can make it to one of my panel discussions.\u00a0<\/p>\n Have a very Merry Christmas and a spectacular 2010!<\/p>\n Cheers,<\/p>\n M\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi Everyone!
