Event Details:



Wow, it's been two years already. Join the InSights Enthusiastic Group of community supporters as we recap the success story of InSights at our 2 Year Anniversary Celebration. We'll share the stories of how creating a Tribe (Seth Godin Style) and Crushing It! Gary Vay Ner Chuk style have impacted our lives and our absolutely amazing stories of once in a lifetime opportunities opening up.


What are you doing to make your goals and dreams even bigger and more achievable for 2010? Get on the fast track with the InSights Group. We're going to amazing places! 


Join us Friday, January 8th, 2010 for our Celebrate 2010 Party to get your business and life in balance and on the fast track for an awesome 2010!

Success in 2010 is going to require bigger dreams and the ability to see the picture on top of the mountains, as we put into practice everything we teach and learn. We've seen the HUGE results from working smarter and focusing on the right elements. It takes productive and positive behavior, goal setting, and prioritizing activities that will put you in the best position possible. Working smarter, not harder, and harnessing the laws of the universe. If you become like the people you associate with, and the books that you read, just wait until you hear who we are hanging out with, and the books they've written! --THINK BIG! --We have some AMAZING NEWS coming out of the INSIGHTS GROUP that will impact the entire community.

Everywhere we turn, we hear that social media has become an important force in business marketing, which is very true. Money goes where people go, and people are going to social media sites.


Having an account in a social media platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) is not the same as having a social media "strategy", and having a strategy is essential for success.


Allan Curtis and Sandi Maki have a common sense approach to integrating social media into a business marketing plan, and they will share that with you in session.


They'll cover the top three social media sites, blogging, and how to start a strategy that can be adapted to corporations, small businesses, and solo-preneurs. We guarantee that you'll gain a better understanding of why social media is so important, and you will have and idea of the tools you need to get your new strategy started.


 


  • Are you using social media to promote your business?

  • Do you have a LinkedIn account because someone sent you an email to join?

  • Do you have a facebook account? Are you using it to connect with family and friends?

  • Are you harnessing the power to promote and grow your business?

  • Twitter? What's that all about?

  • We will answer WHY each of these three top social media sites should be used in your PR and Marketing Strategies!

    Social Media Strategy


     


    Everywhere we turn, we hear that social media has become an important force in business marketing, which is very true. Money goes where people go, and people are going to social media sites.


    Having an account in a social media platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) is not the same as having a social media “strategy”, and having a strategy is essential for success.


     


    Allan Curtis and Sandi Maki have a common sense approach to integrating social media into a business marketing plan, and would love to help you define, develop, implement and maintain a successful strategy.


     


    The process begins with setting some social media goals, and incorporating the best elements of what is available in the social media world today, with the ability to grow and change tomorrow. A successful strategy can be developed utilizing your existing web presence, and gaining the maximum amount of traction by adding the most important social media elements to your marketing mix.


     


    Join us for this event and learn how and why these social media sites should be an important part of your marketing mix.


     


    Bio/Introduction:

    Sandi Maki and Allan Curtis are co-founders of the InSights Group, an amazing collaborative learning organization. Without traditional funding, a marketing or advertising budget they used organic marketing strategies and social media to grow the InSights Group. Creating the roadmap as they went, learning and growing on the way, they’ve found what works in the world of social media. The social media strategies taught at the InSights Group were developed as a part of those experiences, and they’ll be sharing some of what they have learned with you.


    Sandi and Al have presented to a diverse array of audiences, from a small group in a conference room to a national convention of hundreds.  They are hired as social media strategists, conduct classes and training regularly both at our facility, the InSights Group in Brighton, and on location. You can find their CD series available on Amazon.com, and webinars, audio downloads, and podcasts available on the InSights Group website.

    The ability to connect with people via social media is exponential! I can’t event imagine pursuing conventional marketing methodology ever again. – Sophia Lertola, Mindy Salzberg-Siegel DDS


     


    What an eye Opening Experience explaining the use of social media in a way that was understandable with support both personal and on CD to help along the way. – Sandy Acosta, Dr. Roman Shlafer DDS


     


    I learned WHAT social media is, how I can use it professionally and personally.

    If we keep doing marketing the way we have always done it we will continue to flounder as we have for the past few years. We have to change. This workshop taught me what I need to change and how. – Samantha Goodell

    Setting a Media Strategy Boot Camp Program Testimonials


    Boot camp has totally revolutionized my brain. We celebrated personal strengths, identified our target market, got tools and skills to design a step-by-step practical strategy to take our goals to the next level. Complete with follow-up support and accountability, all while connecting with like minded, inspirational professionals among the best in their fields! Super fun-not only the information "priceless," you will walk away believing, knowing success is for you. -Jen McClure, Senior Sales Director with Mary Kay Cosmetics


    I went from “I don’t want anything to do with social media” to “how exciting is this!” I can’t learn the skills fast enough. Website, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, YouTube, my vision for my business went from local to worldwide! How belief blowing is that? Plus I am scaring my kids! Always Fun! -Sherri Richards, Rise Consulting


    I believe that the social media scene is in its infancy stage. Attending the Social Media boot camp at InSights with Sandy and Al was such an eye opening experience for me. Until the boot camp experience I could not see the big picture and the value of social media in my marketing mix. The information they presented should be heard by all. I could have not figured this out without the InSights Team, their help and guidance. Thank you Sandy and Al, you’re the best!  Great program! -Linda Houston, Houston Photography


    It gives you the tools to market your business while also educating you about why you are in business and reminds you what you are passionate about. -Besty Rackliffe, Smiling Eclectic Designer of openDesigns


    Running a business can be so overwhelming. Boot Camp helped me create a picture of what I wanted my business to be and how I could get there. It helped connect all of the pieces of marketing to create my message, therefore creating MY brand! -Christa Braun, Coupons4Livingston.com


    Traditional marketing is not working. Boot Camp gets you to think out of the box. Social Media is intimidating and InSights is a great home to learn how to use it. -Amy Iverson, Finished Basements Plus


    The reason to come to boot camp is because you leave having a more specific idea of who you are, what you do and why you do it. The education on social media is just icing on the cake. -Nicole Doyle, Entertaining at Home


    The people that believe the statement “You can’t teach an old dog a new tricks” have not yet attended the Insights Group Marketing Boot Camp with Sandi Maki and Al Curtis and trust me they should! I don’t consider myself “old”; however, I am experienced in the marketing field and thought I knew everything about marketing until I attended the boot camp. After working for a large corporation as a Marketing Specialist, I knew how to market but with the support of a large budget. Now that I am a small business owner, my marketing budget is limited.  At boot camp I learned how to market my company in an organic way that fits within my budget.  The information that is taught at boot camp is so impactful and a great way to benefit any company.  I highly recommend  boot camp as it is an outstanding program that teaches how to market  in an organic, low budget and very powerful way. Great job Sandi and Al for developing a program that will help business owners reach the ultimate dream of having a successful company. –Marcy Hornsby-Mohr, Solutionologist, Your Insurance Solutions

    Event Details:

    Everywhere we turn, we hear that social media has become an important force in business marketing, which is very true. Money goes where people go, and people are going to social media sites.


    Having an account in a social media platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) is not the same as having a social media "strategy", and having a strategy is essential for success.



    Are you using social media to promote your business? Do you need to know how to create a Facebook, Linked In, Twitter or Blog strategy?


    Are you using social media to promote your business? Do you have a LinkedIn account because once someone sent you an email to join? Do you have a Facebook account? Are you using it to connect with family and friends, or are you harnessing the power to promote and grow your business? Twitter? What's that all about?

    We will cover each of the three top social media sites that you should be using for business in this three hour workshop.

    Learn more about the power of the LinkedIn system. How can you use it to further your business connections? Discover how to use the answers forum, and work the system through first, secon, and third level connections to meet and grow your sphere of influence. How can you reach 10million users? We'll show you how.

    Learn how to use Facebook for business. What to do, what not to do, and cool tips and tricks will be discovered. Did you know that Facebook is the number one growing business tool for business promotion. We'll show you the keys for the best proven promotion strategies online. Better yet, we'll help you set up some specific ideas for your business, that you can start to use right away!

    Is Tweeting right for you? Absolutely. Let's discuss your Twitter campaign and get you noticed, both locally and nationally as you share the word about what you are doing, right here, right now!

    These are MUST KNOW practices for anyone who is looking for business growth and success. We'll help you get your profiles working for you, 24/7, and help you make the most of your online experience.

    ANYONE at ANY experience level is welcome. We will cover everything from beginning basics to advanced user strategy. 

    COST:  $30


    We offer a 100% money back guarantee. If at the end of class you don't feel it was worth your money, you don't pay. It's as simple as that.
