It is the single most profitable investment I've ever made. With its superb advice, I managed to build a small company turning over close to 1,000,000 US Dollars a year within 2 years and I have not spent a single penny on paid advertising! With our special computer-noise reduction products we have obtained front-page coverage with the most important German computer magazine, and have been featured in 13 other magazines and newspapers. We (rather the product) even have been featured twice on TV..."Starting this year, we employ 5 people, and estimated turnover for 1999 is 1,400,000 US Dollars. Most helpful were the chapters on working the media, and on customer service/referrals (20% of our new business comes from referrals.)" --Georg Schlomka, A Conto GmbH, Germany aconto-nord@noisecontrol.de. Gerog Schlomka's website is at https://www.noisecontrol.de Shel's Savvy Secrets VideoA one-hour live seminar covering Shel's favorite low-cost, high-impact marketing methods, presented to the University of Massachusetts Family Business Center.Unfortunately, this tape has some technical difficulties. After several tries, we were able to tape a seminar more-or-less successfully. However, the sound is distorted. The tape is understandable--it just takes some concentration. We had planned to offer the tape for $29.95 U.S., but because of the poor sound quality, it's only $14.95. In October 2002, a professional videographer will be taping two more live seminars; our hope is to create a much better video product for you.How to Get Reporters to Respond to Your Pitches and Get Tons of Free Publicity-AudioA set of two live teleclasses with Shel, hosted by Dan Janal of PR Leads and Debbie Allen of Shameless Self Promotion.
