6. Every year I come back with great info,
resources, hacks, tips, tricks and even
new philosophies about how to sell and
market.
Last year I even came back with the flu.
7. Some of the tools I start using--others though good, I
just forget about.
AND….
The more time consuming/involved a tactic is, the less
likely I will use or implement it. I have to get my head
around it. Then implement.
8. One of My First Sessions: Landing Pages & Conversions
9. Clarity: One of the 7 Principles of

10. Assuming there are 6 more principles
with an equal number of best practice
considerations (20 for Clarity), how could
we possibly remember them all?!
13. Common Mistakes
Not getting enough in the sales process to qualify, disqualify or to make proposals as
effective as they could be.
Not highlighting the benefits of what we do consistently enough (i.e. forgetting to talk
about influencer)
Missing steps in the onboarding process: (i.e. not putting a client’s discovery guide in
their folder so others can reference. Forgetting to add Google Analytics to a client’s
Hubspot blog)
