Crush the Competition Contest

You can Win prizes valued at over $1,500.00!

Here are the prizes:

• A 1-hour Crush the Competition Session with me. In this session we’ll develop three new ways you can clearly differentiate yourself from your competition. In addition, you’ll receive a condensed version of my sales coaching webinar, including a 30-minute follow up session and a signed copy of my book, Communication Wins.

• A free professionally designed, customized page for Facebook, Twitter or YouTube from M3-SocialMindz (www.M3socialmindz.com), a leader in SEO, PPC and social media marketing. A professionally designed social media page sets you apart from the competition and is a great way to project your brand into online communities and generate new sales leads.

• A video Holiday Card (click on "Holiday Card" to see samples) from ImigPro, just like this one: www.imigpro.com. If you can’t get to their Charlotte studio, email your video or images and they’ll do the rest. This is a unique way to stand out in a  crowd and competitive world. Managers and executives can use the video-card to both extend a holiday greeting and rally-the-troops for 2010.

• A copy of Gary Vaynerchuk’s new book, Crush It!. Gary was using the power of video, social media and the web before most people knew they existed. In Crush It! you learn what Gary has to say about social media, why storytelling is your most powerful marketing tool and multi-channel monetizing. Gary has appeared on CNN, Fox News, The Today Show, and The Ellen Degeneres Show. 

How you’ll Win:
It’s easy. Write one paragraph, at least three sentences, describing what you like best about my interview with Gary and post it here, at www.aligned-marketing.com website blog page (it’s free advertising), under Comments (email address required to win). Then email your paragraph and additional comments to me at: shartkopf@aligned-marketing.com.

Bonus:
Those who tell me what you plan to do with what you learned from the interview will receive special recognition (it's a surprise!) for contributing to the community.
