P.S. If you know a business that needs help remember I pay a very nice referral fee for new clients. I would love to write you a check that would pay for a new car.

Wednesday June 13th I will release the first in a series of FREE reports and videos that will help business owners, business executives, and entrepreneurs in their efforts to build business profits.

That is correct - there is no fee, no registration or any other requirements for this information. This simply is the launch of a very valuable product that happens to be FREE.

What is the content? It is simple! In fact simplicity is the theme of this material. The simplicity of business.

Keep in mind, professors, consultants, CEO’s, executives and bored members (spelling intentional) are all paid a ton of money to help solve what is commonly known as complex business issues. The reality is that 80% of management time is spent on matters that have little or no impact on business performance.

If you evaluate what is commonly labeled complex, in most cases, it is not complex at all. Some person has decided it is complex and so that now becomes the reality. This series I am releasing brings our focus to what is important and provides the tools and process to stay focused.

I hope you enjoy it and I welcome ALL comments. Email Me

May you and all permanently experience prosperous health, happiness and abundance

Just one more thing…did you know I am now working with Randy Gage? No! Who is Randy Gage? Visit International Success

Read this now because it might be another
15 months before you see it again.

Yes, it’s THAT time sensitive.

15 months ago (on December 6th 2005, to be exact)
something major happened online.

Maybe you missed it. It passed by so fast that many
people *blinked* and it was gone within 24 hours.

I am talking about PortalFeeder.

Chances are, you’ve heard about PortalFeeder. Or,
at least you’ve heard *crazy* rumors about it.

There are so many half-truths flying around out
there, you don’t know what to believe anymore.

Let me quickly explain and set things straight…

Back in December 2005, every IM forum was
plastered with chatter and buzz about this new
“product”.

In fact, since PortalFeeder was such a new and
unconventional type of program back then, most of
the talk was made up of wild assumptions and
short-sighted predictions.

“Dead in 6 months” was one person’s exact words.

Others claimed that PortalFeeder was nothing more
than a bunch of $67 scripts and tools dressed up
into a big fancy monthly membership site.

Was this the truth?

But, the big question on everyone’s mind is… what
REALLY happened to PortalFeeder?

As you can tell, nobody has been saying a peep
about PortalFeeder since the doors closed back on
December 7th 2005.

Where do things stand today? Is anybody making
money?

I have some contacts on the inside and am pleased
to report that YES, PortalFeeder is bigger and
stronger than ever.

One PortalFeeder member went from $0 to $10K per
month in just 30 days.

Another member is making $3000 per month in pure
PROFIT after a mere 4 months.

Want to see some more real results and proof like
this?

You’ll see what has been happening behind closed
doors once you visit this site:

http://www.portalfeeder.com

Hint: A LOT has been going on that you don’t know
about.

The good news is, for the first time in over 15
months, PortalFeeder will be accepting new
members starting at 12 noon today (Thursday, April
26th).

But, just like in the past… there are only a limited
number of seats available.

This is NOT an ambush-style, full-out, 200 marketers
hammering their lists, type of product launch.

I am only among a handful of people that even know
about this.

And there is a good reason for it. You see,
PortalFeeder can’t handle 1000 new members all at
once.

Once you realize how robust this software is, the
nature of their new “Mentors” program and their
high level of customer service, you’ll understand
why.

They simply cannot support a flood of 1000 new
members. That’s why only a limited quantity of
members will be accepted.

If things are as crazy as they were back in December
‘05, PortalFeeder will quietly close their doors again
real soon, then step away back into the shadows…
and create another few dozen amazing success
stories just like the ones you will see on this page:

http://www.portalfeeder.com

Go ahead. While there is still time (and seats
available), do yourself a favor and check out what
PortalFeeder has become today.

After 15 months of construction… version 2.0 was
just launched and this thing is bigger and *beefier*
than ever before!

If you are tired of quilting together piece-by-piece,
the information you need to succeed online, or have
a hard drive full of tools and scripts that you never
use… PortalFeeder could be exactly what you’ve
been searching for.

There is a reason why current members have been
referring to PortalFeeder as “The Total Solution”.

You’ll see why once you take a peek at what version
2.0 has to offer you. All the training, software, tools,
services and personal mentoring is yours for the
asking, at a price way less than you’d expect.

Visit this page after 12 noon Eastern today for
complete details:

When you see this report you will think this is so simple. Why did it take Steve so long to develop this? Why have companies paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for this information?

You will notice there have been no posts to my blog for three weeks. I have been finalizing an incredibly valuable report “An MBA In 10 Minutes On How To Run Your Business For Maximum Profits” The information contained in this report is one page has been validated in the last six months with two companies whose revenues exceeds $15 million annually. The principles behind this report have been proven by working with dozens of companies.

You will discover the formula for operating your business for optimal results. You will learn how to quickly and easily know exactly how your business is doing and precisely where your business needs your attention. Most people can effectively monitor and manage a handful of items. You will learn how to identify where you must focus your attention.

I know you are expecting me to direct you to a long sales letter that rationalizes charging you a fee for this report. Since I already told you there are many companies that have paid alot of money for this information, you now think I am positioning you for some $297.00 or more sales pitch.

You are wrong. This report is FREE and will be released in a couple of days. Those on my list will receive the report first along with a detailed summary designed to help you make sure your business is optimized for cash profits. If you are not on my list, then simply register here.

In this article I am going to give you a link that was sent to me as a funny video. You will soon understand why I am using this link in this message. This is a very important reminder that viral marketing can be very damaging or even destroy a business.

If you are new to the term, viral marketing, in a nutshell, is where one person tells or emails another about a website, story, video, movie, restaurant, product etc The message usually starts out with something like: hey____ you’ve gotta check this out.

Recently millions watched the Super Bowl. Whether you like his music or not Prince absolutely “wowed” most everyone. The papers gave him an outstanding rating. He performed flawlessly in pouring rain. Think about the impact on his record sales and his performance price tag. Guess what song was my most recent purchase from ITunes.

On the same show was the Snickers’ commercial along with a rather long list of other displays of marketing stupidity. But let’s examine the Snickers presentation. (If you don’t know what I am talking about - do a search on the Internet.) Was the intent to build brand awareness? Or was the intent to test direct response? Direct response may have been the ultimate goal since different endings that visitors to the web site could vote on were planned. I don’t know, but the real direct response was the outrage over the commercial and it being pulled two days after the Super Bowl.

My view is that it has nothing to do with motivating you want to buy a Snickers in fact it may have turned allot of buyers to alternative selections. It reminds me of some the outrageous subject lines used by Internet marketers. Sure I notice them. But they don’t make me want to read the message.

Moving on: What would you do to have the opportunity to showcase a new product introduction on Dave Letterman’s show? I’ll bet you would be prepared. You would make sure you looked the part and what you were showcasing worked right. Plus I’ll bet you would make sure there was at least a subtle reference to your web site or 800#. Even the newest people learning marketing would know to do this. Look at this clip - amazing. Click Here For Steamed
Can you imagine being a celebrity using your name with a new product introduction and having it turn out to be a major joke - on Letterman of all places. Come on.. you can’t tell me that even Richard Simmons doesn’t have common sense. If he doesn’t, he certainly has staff could to show him how to dress and act since he is associating his name with a product. I would really enjoy having the opportunity of watching this with Joel Bauer - Mr. Persuasion. I can only imagine Joel’s reaction.

The point is, you don’t have to be a master marketer to get it right. Just use common sense. I am not a marketing guru but just this year I finished helping two companies get on track for 2007 where their sales will increase 50% and profit growth will be higher than that. Of course it is not all marketing. But without an effective business development plan in place along with a management system in place that quickly confirms what is working and what is not so you can take appropriate action, you will not hit your target.

May you and all permanently experience prosperous health, happiness and abundance

The live feed was near perfect. After a few introductory comments Rich said ” work on yourself first, then build revenue and once you gain momentum, focus on your staff.” He provided valuable content for the remaining two hours of the live feed. He covered it very briefly but the statement was powerful…WORK ON YOUSELF FIRSt!! More on that in another post. For now back to the show.

In every presentation there are debatable points. However thousands, with me included, are grateful for the education Rich delivered using this “no money required” format. For those of you who think this presentation was free then you missed Rich’s point on the value of your time.

As a seasoned business development consulting professional (www.stevepohlit.com) I have helped many companies implement most of the techniques Rich teaches. I have many success stories. Few are with name brands. On the other hand Rich has a long list of name brand clients. He is a wizard at marketing. Look at the list of people who gave him testimonials. He earned them all I am sure. One Rich presented was from Jay Abraham. If anyone knows the reputation of Jay Abraham you will understand the value of Jay’s testimonial.

I have been paying close attention to the marketing strategies of the well known names including Rich. I need to step my promotions up a number of notches. How about you? A major takeaway for me is that it makes no difference how good you are, if nobody knows it then you can’t help them. Another one is his emphasis on evaluating what you do vs. having someone else do it. Maybe like me you have heard this before. I don’t know where I learned it. Maybe it was from one of the notables like, Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy, Ken McCarthy, John Reese and the list goes on. Rich delivered an excellent slant on the value of our time.

This seminar was a great marketing example. Rich Shefren had a notable list of JV partners promote this. What was their motivation? Seems to me it is the sharing of the revenue from people who signed up for his backend program. But they wouldn’t have done it if Rich didn’t have the credibility.

Now it wasn’t that hard to promote. After all, how many seminar leaders run a live two hour feed from the seminar The result was a represented 10,000 people tuning in. Of course I have no idea what the conversion rate was. However, if 100 people joined, well do the math. Regardless of the conversion, Rich proved the technology works. Will it replace live seminars? Nope!! But imagine the possibilities. Think of a major event from a coast opposite of where you live or from another country. I could see mini conferences gathering regionally to network in connection with the main event. Why not? JV Alert started with 19 people around a hotel conference table in Philadelphia. Now look at. We’ll see where this goes.

As an aside, I was at the first JV Alert meeting. I met Ken McCarthy, Allyn Cutts, Cody Moya “Mr. Road Trip” Sterling Valentine and more. Every contact from that meeting will take my phone call and repond to my emails. Of course I will do the same. Value - priceless. You cannot replace that with a camera, screen and live feed. Speaking of Stearling - he is on the road again. Click here to see what he is up to.

There are a couple of techniques that Rich teaches that have not been ones that I have emphasized. Many of my clients have big issues that need addressed fast and often I don’t get the the process mapping phase. I will absolutely implement that with the newest company I am working with which is a $10 million business generating 80+% of it’s business on-line. It sources physical product internationally and in general is hugely successful. So why am I working with them? Simple, they can easily be ten time larger in terms of revenue and profits in 24 months. That is the target.

The content Rich offered in the streaming feed from his live seminar will help me. From a look at some of the comments at Strategic Profits allot of other people are happy as well. Thank you Rich, I am most appreciative for all the lessons.

May you and all permanently experience prosperous health, happiness and abundance

Have you followed these guys? The buzz started in Atlanta when Brad Fallon and Andy Jenkins invited Brock and Buck to speak to more than 500 very intelligent and mostly very experienced business people. In the crowd were many of the familiar internet marketing gurus. (If you don’t know what I am talking about stay with this for a very valuable lesson.)

I don’t know for certain that it started in Atlanta, but the creativity behind the buzz is brilliant. Reading their emails and watching their video’s was addictive. These guys made you feel like you went to grade school together. And this guy Brock, well he pulled off comments like “I don’t know what ftp is!” and in the same sentence telling you about his “7 Figure A Month Business”

The B&B show was amazing. These guys should be on SNL or Comedy Central. Better yet, their routine is good enough for Leno. Can you imagine the Leno crowd seeing these guys saying: “We dress like this ( casual shirts and jeans) on TV but when we are at work, we wear swim suits since our offices are by the pool. And yes we have sales in excess of $1 million a month with this system.” I am thinking The Donald may want to bring them in for a discussion.

Brock and Buck (true names and not molded from Broke Back Mountain - I don’t think) had most major guru’s on board promoting their product. Reese, Kern, Dale, Filsaime, Moya, Shefren, Ambrose to name a few. (I am still thinking about who didn’t jump on this and why – a topic for another article.) How did the Dumb and Dumber duo do this? My take on it is they demonstrated with hard facts that what they are doing works in a big way.

Anyone who breaks out from the crowd and earns the admiration of the internet marketing gurus (a tough crowd) deserves congratulations and careful study. There are enormous marketing lessons to be learned from this product launch. Learning from creative, innovative, prosperous people in my view is the most compelling reason to join this launch - no I am not an affiliate so there is no link.

I wish you prosperous health, happiness and abundance
