Just finished a 2 day “Virtual Marketing Summit” live webinar with Eben Pagan, Saturday and Sunday, 9am-5pm. As was? Well… first, let me tell you a few things about myself; then how Eben’s classes helped change my view of today’s business landscape.
I have run my marketing and graphic design company since 1987. I have seen some ups and downs; I have been through a business roller coaster several times. I have seen good times with loyal customers to their suppliers. I remember in the past, after every recession, business would go back to normal. We all used to think of this as a normal business cycle that we could deal with.
But today’s business climate is no longer just a downward curve with an “upthrust” just around the corner. No. The business has changed, and I mean whatever business I’m in. The rules now aren’t what they used to be and if you don’t adapt, if you don’t take action NOW to change the way you do business, your business won’t make it! And to change the way you do business, you have to change the way you think about it.
That’s what I had to do. That is where Eben’s teaching has been so valuable. In August 2011, I purchased a series of live webinars from Eben called the Guru Master Class. I think I paid $1997. This was a big step for me. I have researched for several months before many internet marketing “gurus” and was not prepared to spend any money! I thought that with so much information available on the internet for free, I could research everything myself and learn on my own as I go. I was bombarded with emails, most of which I subscribed to so not spam, each claiming to have the answer to the “quick and easy money” business on the internet. But who do you trust? I realized that I needed to find someone who was teaching the real thing; someone who could show me that they knew what they were talking about. That’s when I found Eben Pagan, and my weekly routine changed forever.
I jumped in with both feet into the new world of internet marketing education and thinking. I was hoping to learn the basic steps and knowledge of web marketing, and wow… I got so much more! For more than 5 months I have been taking classes twice a week, 90 minutes each. I have received mountains of Great information on many subjects. Here are the classes: Guru Masterclass; TechTools and Traffic School – with bonuses like Productive Awakening; BluePrint Guru; How to be an entrepreneur; Boot Camp Guru; Step-by-Step Marketing and Product Plan. I also received 2 additional full weekend webinars: Clear Communication and Virtual Marketing. The reason I am listing all the classes and bonuses here is to show you the value of the original decision to purchase Guru MasterClass. Eben said there would be additional bonuses, but he didn’t expect the amount of information he provided in addition to the original agreement to be much greater.
Now I want to go back to my original reason for wanting to write this testimonial about how Eben’s teaching helped change the way I think about business. You see, even though I’ve been in business for over 20 years and done pretty well for myself and my family, I wanted to change the way I do business. I needed to turn our company from a strictly graphic design company into a marketing company using internet marketing tools. I thought I needed to learn the tools. What I learned was that I needed to change my approach to business. Eben’s practical knowledge, by the way, if one person can do it, so can another, on the psychology of business today and how to market in today’s internet based world, showed me very clearly and step by step. step what to do do. What to focus on and when to focus on it. And yes, I also got the tools I originally wanted; in fact, we are still attending the classes 2 times a week, now learning how to drive traffic to your website.
Last weekend I was a part of Eben Pagan’s Virtual Marketing Summit webinar – Saturday and Sunday all day. Here are several Eben headlines covered during his class: Copywriting Mindset for Success; Your client’s emotional power words; formal tone vs. conversational tone; The one-word headline; Intentionally creating friendships with customers; Creation of your customer avatar; Creation of your product sequence and marketing step by step; Become an education marketer. -> This was the best spent weekend class I’ve ever been to! If you’re looking for help with internet marketing and can’t decide who is the right person to follow, do yourself a favor and consider Eben Pagan. I don’t know Eben personally, and yet after all this time I feel like I do. When he teaches, you feel like he is speaking directly to YOU. You feel that he cares about you! Because he does! He will give you what you are looking for and much more. And you’ll realize that for what he’s giving away, the price is a steal!
