The 4 Keys to Supercharging Your Website To Attract More Business

Many business people launch their website and then get busy doing lots of good things to drive traffic to it – site optimization, blogging, keywords, social networking, and so on. All too often, frustration sets in when the vision of a tidal wave of new clients fails to materialize.

    •  It was a good meeting of like minded people .. I found the networking session at 10 minutes to be extremely short. That sometimes can be the most valueable part of the event, although the presentation was great. I would like to see a minimum of 30 mintues for networking. 
    •  We had a packed house on Tuesday evening! Cheryl shared 4 keys to increase website conversion including (1) education-based marketing, (2) developing a lead list, (3) using email autoresponders effectively and (4) delivering massive value.

       This was great! We had a very nice time, picked up some fantastic info and Really thank Patrick for all his effort and wisdom. Great job! 
    •  it was very lively and full of positive energy 
    •  Informative and stimulating 
    •  Patrick does a great job of bringing people together. 
    •  I thoroughly enjoyed networking as well as the topic (although it could have had a bit more meat to it). Patrick, thanks so much for organizing. You are a wonderfully gracious host with a kick ass sense of humor. I'll be back for more... 
    •  Thank you Patrick for bringing such great guest speakers.

       The introductions were good. However, I can't say I was a huge fan of the guest speaker. In my opinion she didn't really deliver any valuable information and I wasn't a huge fan of her sales pitch at the end. The sales pitch was a little long for giving such a so, so presentation. 
    •  the networking was great, but I was VERY disappointed in the speaker. For someone who was a marketing specialist she did not market herself very well. Her visuals were amateurish, her presentation lacked focus and she put more effort in trying to sell us on signing up for her expensive services that really giving tangible information to entice us to want to use her services. I didn't learn anything new from her. She also spent too much time giving us information on her personal background, but the info was not relevant to demonstrating her expertise in marketing. I really don't care about her journey to becoming an entrepreneur, but I would be interested in knowing about the successful campaigns she did in the telecom industry 
    •  This was my first meeting and I LOVED IT. I felt that it truly was a venue to connect with other professionals and prospect. I have already made a few good contacts. 
    •  too commercial as that lady was trying to sell her business.
