Hi Dianne,

Just a note to let you know my 10-minute showcase presentation today was a great success.

Tom Shields, whom I copied on this message, is my life coach and has helped me achieve much of my recent progress (the last 6-7 years).  He requested a report on today's presentation; his receipt of a copy of this message accomplishes that.

With the help you provided I think I "hit the market (at least BNI Wolf Pack) with my most powerful swing".  (Tom, Dianne is the marketing consultant I mentioned in our last talk who helped me prepare my presentation.  The phrase in quotes is her slogan - she is a golfer and likes to use golf metaphors in her work).

Dianne, thank you so much for your help in putting this together.  Many people complimented me on the presentation and everyone present at today's meeting knows of your hand in it.

Hope you are enjoying your travels.  See you when you return.  Happy New Year.

'2DiFore Marketing Solutions is appropriately named.  I’d always had a plan in mind for what I wanted to accomplish in terms of marketing, but it always ranked secondary to other business objectives.  Working with them helps me feel in control of my brand and promotional activities, by actively participating in the plans, but turning over all of the execution to them.  They take the time to meet with me, help me outline and refine specific goals for marketing, determine how to meet those objectives, understand our market and our business, and work within my budget.   We are getting great results.'

'2DiFore Marketing Solutions helps me stay focused on my remodeling business.  I’ve had full-time staff on board in marketing roles in the past, and this is working as well for my business in that we have something in the works every month, without the cost of permanent employees.  I’m in touch regularly with my previous customers.  I’m also communicating more with my network of colleagues who are in a position to refer new customers to my business.  They are helping me with targeted marketing messages and consistent branding for my company.  What’s also been nice for me is to have an educated resource to tap when new marketing opportunities arise.  I like to take advantage of new ideas and marketing ideas, and am more confident in having 2DiFore assess the value and potential return on my investment.'

'My flooring business has operated successfully since its launch.  Until recently, we never needed to aggressively go out looking for business.  This economy not only hit us directly, but we’re also feeling a drop in the number of projects that filter through to us from other contractors.  I’ve been in business long enough to understand that marketing is the key to filling these current gaps and continuing our forward momentum at this time.  2DiFore is creative in how we reach out to the market, and aware of my budget requirements at the same time.  They have made great recommendations for reaching the specific customers that are appropriate for my business.  They have been working from a marketing calendar that will fill my pipeline for this year, and help me build a database of partners that will keep me busy in the years to come. And I will add that they are really easy to work with. '

'In my opinion, what’s great about working with 2DiFore is that they listen and think creatively on their feet.  I’ve been pretty vocal with ideas and suggestions and it’s clear to me that they incorporate that feedback within their responses, and within our working relationship.  We are exploring new ideas monthly that they don’t take lightly.  Clear thoughts and strategic planning are a part of how they operate.  Once our direction is set, I rely on them to keep me focused, and to keep our marketing calendar on schedule.  Neither are easy tasks and I commend their attention to every detail.'
