When things change, do you change your things?

How can you sell what you sell, but differently? When things change we can change our things, or we can change our approach. What is a radical way that you can sell what you sell, but differently? Make it okay for someone to buy what you sell. Remember, when you head to the home improvement [...] http://bit.ly/jl4Mj

What our Boot Camp GRADUATES have to say :


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. The 2 Day Boot Camp was incredibly enlightening. I could have not figured this out without the InSights Team, their help and guidance. 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

     Tuesday, September 22nd, 8:29 am to 9:59 am  (90 Minutes)


    Presented by:  Monica Tombers of Just So!


     There have been several requests for help creating special formats and form documents.  Monica will demonstrate how to create several simple types of documents using Label Forms, Columns, Tables, and more.  Although there are other tools in the Microsoft Office Suite that can be more precise, the focus in this class will only be Microsoft Word.


     For the most effective experience, please bring your laptop.  If you do not have a laptop, before class starts, please find another class member to share with you.  WiFi capability is not needed for this class.


    About Monica Tombers:  Although her favorite title right now is “Associate Jewelry Designer,” she has over 2 decades of experience in creating and presenting hand-on instruction in the computer field, and getting paid for it.  She is by no means an expert on everything, but is willing to share what she knows about the basics.

     Friday, September 25th8:29 a.m. to 9:59 a.m. and 5:59 p.m. to 7:29 p.m.  (90 minutes)


     When someone says “Mouse,” is your first thought of something four-footed and furry?  When you hear “Windows,” do you think Windex and paper towels?  Then this class may be for you.


     OR


     Have you watched someone else at a computer do something real neat, but it was too fast to catch how they did it?  Do you think that “Defrag” is a retro 60’s dance move?  Do you figure the right mouse button is only for left-handed people?  Do you know why it might be better for you set up that way?  Then this class may also be for you.


    Beginning computer users will get a basic foundation and regular computer users may learn some shortcuts and why some things work the way they do.  The focus will be on Hardware Basics, Windows Basics, and Microsoft Office Basics.


     There are two classes on this day.  Both will start with the same syllabus.  Potentially, additional classes may be offered if there is interest. 


    For the most effective experience, please bring your laptop.  If you do not have a laptop, before class starts, please find another class member to share with you.  WiFi capability is not needed for this class.


    About Monica Tombers:  Although her favorite title right now is “Associate Jewelry Designer,” she has over 2 decades of experience in presenting hands-on computer instruction at university and business level.  She is by no means an expert, but is willing to share what she knows.  This class is based on a comprehensive 3 Day “Introduction to Computers” course she used to teach around the US.
