Making the time in an entrepreneur’s busy schedule to attend Geoff’s marketing seminar is a must. Geoff’s presentation reminded me of the strategies I had been losing focus on along with new ideas that I was able to implement with my staff immediately. Since the seminar, we have been tracking our sales calls using Geoff’s recommendations. Despite the economy, I can say that we are recording more sales as a result of his suggestions.

Geoff’s presentation style is humorous, to the point and engaging

“We asked Geoff Affleck to lead a marketing workshop for local small business owners as part of Small Business month in October. The event was a great success! Geoff engaged the 40+ participants providing an interactive workshop – not your dad’s seminar. We had excellent feedback from our attendees, many of whom found Geoff’s presentation style to be humorous, to the point and engaging. His well thought out presentation with lots of group involvement gave our clients many practical marketing tips to apply in their businesses. We are planning to invite Geoff to return again for another event.”
