We are well into 2009 now (some people are just sobering up after the festivities to see how many of their new year resolution they have already broken so far).
With that, we are starting a series of referral workshops for small businesses and professional who are looking for better ways to increase their word-of-mouth business. Here’s the link:

I just posted a short video there with comments from some of the previous attendees.
I plan on doing a lot more of these, both self-marketed and for other organizations. If you run events attended by or or manage an association made up of small business owners, let’s talk. Also, take a look at this page: http://www.AlexMakarski.com.
This workshop was originally created by David Frey. I flew down to Houston in May of 2008 to spend some time with him and attend one of his workshops. Then I took his material and made it “mine” by using my examples, my clients’ case studies, and some of my referral tools. Every time I deliver these, I add something new and take something out to create room for the new.
The biggest testimonial to the quality of this material is the fact that some people come back several times to take more notes, ask more questions, and refresh their knowledge of these concepts. Some of them bring their friends.
If you live in or plan on traveling to the Big T.O. in the next few weeks, you owe it to your business to come to the Toronto Referral Worskhop.
