Motivational Speakers

Ned Steele, a former New York City newspaper journalist and public relations firm owner, has worked with, and chronicled the achievements of, many remarkable businesspeople and professionals - from the famous to the everyday hero. He is the author of the books Awaken The Marketer In You and 102 Publicity Tips to Grow A Business or Practice. Both are available to meeting planners and executives planning a meeting. Please ask Holly for a complimentary copy for every member of your committee. Ned is also a marketing columnist for AccountantsWorld, Law Practice Today, and Smartpros.

Marketing and business development are just plain different for professional practices and firms. And more challenging. Ned helps attendees see why they may have struggled with marketing in the past, and how to start doing better today- in a way that finally feels right. Ned serves up an eye-opening array of insightful, practical, and do-able strategies and tactics for better marketing results.

Conventional marketing and public relations for big, product-driven, companies are based on self-promotion and hype. Ned reminds attendees that the market wants something else from those in the professional services. It wants information, knowledge, and expertise. Ned shares strategies for approaching the marketplace as a resource, not a salesperson. Ned's program is just right for independent professionals, small practices and nonprofit organizations who want to attract more prospects, spark more referrals, and accelerate growth.
