Greg Cole · Nov 28, 2012

Ok- so I have been asked to do a piece on Marketing at MF.
Are you sick and tired of all the piches about how the advertisers has that magic component that will turn your company into the next Coca-Cola? Do you believe the hype that the SEO company will put you #1 in google's organic listing? Are you buying yellow pages cause that's what your daddy did? Do you have a marketing plan? Do you even know what a marketing plan is? Is marketing that thing you do when your business has all but evaporated? During my presentation MF; I will be covering how to create and implement a marketing plan. I'll also cover the questions you should ask when buying advertising ( much different that marketing) and the responses that should have you running for the hills. NOTE: I am a Georgia Boy so expect to hear the word 'Ya'll" at least once or twice

If you have specific question you want answered about marketing - email or private message me and I'll see if i can include them in my presentation. I look forward to seeing everyone there!

Yes, please create a section on your FAILURES.

A dirty dozen list on your worst advertising adventures, groupon, grocery receipt ads, restaurant menus, gives us the worst experiences. Although some of those may have worked for you...
I think we can learn from failure as much as success, if not more.

Mikey P · Nov 28, 2012

Greg, for the new folks here would you mind telling us about the size and scope of your operation?

Greg Cole · Nov 29, 2012

Sure. We have locations in Atlanta, Tampa, and Orlando. We have 2 more markets about to spring up in 2013. Likewise, we are working onstarting to sell franchises in 3rd-4th quarter of 2013. As of yesterday, we have completed a little over 45,000 carpet, tile, air duct jobs for 2012. The primary fucntion of my company is to use our marketing machine to get jobs. My position in the company now is primarily growth/development, maintaining our BIG PICTURE, and lots of coaching.

Ron Werner · Nov 30, 2012

Just booked hotel and flight, Staying at the Luxor , in on 14th, out 17th. Looking forward to the Fest.
If someone needs a room, I booked for 2 beds.
Has anyone started to coordinate a rental car for car pooling?

Mikey P · Nov 30, 2012

how much was the Luxor compared to NY NY?

4 or 5 guys in a taxi will be your cheapest option to get back and forth to the event

Thanks Ron!!

Jim Martin · Nov 30, 2012

I am going to book my room next week.....more then likely I am just going to drive my Tundra up there. I am only about 7 hours away....if not..then I will have a rental and either way i can taxi people around...

Mikey P · Nov 30, 2012

Jim

I imagine you'll be bringing your tool box/first aid kit for your class right?

Why not bring your new rig and hold part of the lecture beside your own van?

Jim Martin · Nov 30, 2012

Sorry but I have no desire to drive either one of my work trucks to Vegas......really looking forward to MF.....but I am looking forward to getting away from my trucks also....

whats the hotel of choice ....so I can secure my room....

Studebaker · Nov 30, 2012

I heard the hotel of choice for MF was the Trump

Mikey P · Nov 30, 2012

glad you spoke up Jim, I see I forgot to add you to the schedule...

Mikey P · Nov 30, 2012

new york new york

Ron Werner · Nov 30, 2012

I was checking NYNY but there was a good deal with Luxor, flight and hotel for $935, taxes in. Don't know exactly how it broke down but my flight was going to be $6-700. Apparently there is still a "hotel fee" to pay $18/night which every hotel is charging. There is the shuttle train that runs from Excaliber thru to Mandalay Bay so it's like staying next door to NYNY.

Hopefully we can do a little coordinating ahead of time for cars or schedule the shuttles, Super Shuttle I believe it is, I think they are $12 a person or might have gone up since I was last there. Any idea how much a cab ride would be?

Jim Martin · Nov 30, 2012

I will have Tia check on it next week....if interlink is 5 miles off the strip....I might be able to just use one of the time shares up there and get a 2 or 3 bedroom for nothing.......pending on where they are it may be closer to interlink....IF this is possible...I will be happy to throw a few guys in there...and save a few some hotel fees.....but I won't know what we have available ......or what they have available until she checks........

I’ve got a new recruit! Her name is Michele Mekean and she’s coming from Alaska!!! We met during SFS and she’s about as nice as they come.

Is it true Fred Cordel will do his segment from behind a back lit screen to avoid his Witness Protection identity, since leaving the Agency?

randy · Jan 24, 2013

Nope, but I guarantee you he has one of those rubber stick on faces like in the most recent Mission Impossible. The best way to see for yourself is grab the nose and pull straight out and then twist from the left to right. Hillary Clinton wore one while testifying yesterday. She looks like hell in person.

Ron Lippold · Jan 31, 2013

I'm coming. I finally made the decision that I'm going to be there. I think this will be by far the best fest so far. My last one was 07 I think the last one at mikes home base.

I can't wait to hear from all the guys that make this industry happen.
Well see you all there.

Mikey P · Jan 31, 2013

Excellent!!

I hear we may have some Devastator filters to raffle off as well!
