First Time Ever:
"Open Floor Consulting" at ACCA 2009
(Limited Seating!)

Dear Friend,

At every ACCA Conference there is a buzz going around. Expert speakers and consultants are cornered by eager contractors; business cards are exchanged at crowded (and loud!) events. Time with these busy, popular consultants is rare, and expensive ... for good reason.

Sure, you can get a seat at a seminar, take notes at 100 miles an hour, and dash to the next session, yet members often mention the same concern:
 
You may not get YOUR question answered or YOUR problem solved. You may need "one little strategy" to nudge your business to the next level. These experts have likely solved THAT problem a dozen times over. Unless you get to pick their brains, how are you going to gather that cherished info?

Glad you asked.

For the first time ever, we've tricked (I mean, "encouraged") two of the most popular speakers to hold an OPEN FLOOR CONSULTING SESSION at a special pre-conference session on February 24 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.

Each year, our top-attended events are about marketing and sales. In fact, two years in a row, our marketing partner Adams Hudson had to ADD an emergency session to manage the crowds. Last year, Brian Kraff – the nation's contractor website guru – was so overwhelmed with questions after his session that the cleaning crew had to dismiss them.

Basically, contractors are hungry to know how to get more leads, more sales, and become more "known."

And in THIS economy, those questions will be hotter than ever.

So come get YOUR answers and solutions, at the 41st ACCA Conference, from the TOP advisors in the industry.

Each of these consultants was WAY ahead of the economic curve and coached many of their clients to RECORD sales years in 2008. How? By using the economic news as a 'tool' to extract hidden sales AND to stealthily attract customers from their competition.  That's why we've invited these gentlemen to give a "no holds barred" Consulting Session on the morning of February 24.

In this ONE TIME ONLY session, Brian Kraff of Market Hardware and Adams Hudson of Hudson Ink will field questions from the crowd, openly, with brutal honesty, and uncanny accuracy.  Questions like ...

What is the LEAST expensive but MOST effective form of marketing right now? Adams' clients have doubled their investments in this area, clobbering surprised competitors who were told by others that this strategy "would never work". Adams is handing out copies of "The Top 24 Media for Contractors" right  at the event. 

What are the latest ways to guarantee a "First Page Ranking" on Google? Lots of experts will sell you some gobbledygook, outdated answer, but Brian has this laid out in easy copyable steps for contractors to see and follow -- with proof! Come to the session to get your copy. 

"I'm opening a new business; what can I do to sell more NOW?" Each consultant gets this question so often they can answer in their sleep. 

"I've been in business for a bunch of years, but want to get to the 'next level.' What do you suggest?" (Ditto!)

Bring your questions about Yellow Pages, AdWords, Truck Lettering, "Tiered Pricing" strategies, "leave behind" strategies, follow-ups, email sequences, referral generation ... whatever.

Oh, maybe you want to hear about the hot "Customer Ranking" debate that can either SINK YOU or raise you way above all competitors. Most contractors don't even know the incredible dangers on this topic.  (Wait 'til you see what these guys have done on this topic!)

This special pre-conference session is a FREE BENEFIT for ALL FULLY REGISTERED ATTENDEES AT THE ACCA CONFERENCE. It starts at 9:30am on February 24 at the Fort Worth Convention Center.
