Book Yourself Solid: Getting More Clients Even If You Hate Marketing
Thursday, September 16, 10:00 am EDT / 3:00 pm GMT
Michael Port has been called “an uncommonly honest author” by the Boston Globe and a “marketing guru” by The Wall Street Journal. He is the author of four bestselling books, including Book Yourself Solid, Beyond Booked Solid, The Contrarian Effect, and the New York Times Bestseller, The Think Big Manifesto.
In this keynote kickoff to the Mediation Business Summit, Michael Port will delight you with his slightly irreverant, passionate and highly informed take on how to:
- Discover and set your business foundation,
- Build trust with your target audience, and
- Build credibility within your marketplace.
Michael will discuss how to avoid trial and error, turn your unique traits into profits, and clearly articulate what you offer and the benefits of your services.
In addition to his four books, Michael Port writes a monthly column on sales and marketing for Entrepreneur Magazine, another one for American Express Open Forum, and is a regular guest on MSNBC and CNBC. He consistently receives the highest overall speaker ratings at conferences around the world.
Michael didn’t start out as a author, speaker, and entrepreneur. He began as an actor. No kidding. You might even have been able to pick him out of a crowd from his starring and supporting roles in TV and film projects like Sex and the City, Third Watch, All My Children, Guiding Light, Central Park West, 100 Centre Street, The Pelican Brief, Down to Earth, Last Call, The Believer, and more.
Diverse in his personal life as well, Michael blends his yoga teaching past with his martial art present–holding the rank of black belt in Aikido and blue belt in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. With all this success, his most significant accomplishment and responsibility is probably just like yours, the job of being a devoted parent, son, friend, and citizen.
Michael’s mission to rally big thinkers – prospective, potential, wildly in-motion, and particularly bashful up-and-comers is officially in motion. He’s at the forefront of a movement of people that are starting personal, professional, societal and spiritual revolutions.
