TOMS RIVER, NJ, July 17, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Flying Turtle Marketing launches a public-speaking division featuring easy-to-follow, hands-on seminars and workshops geared to the small-business owner.
"As small-business owners, we understand the challenges of our fellow entrepreneurs," state co-owners Lisa McComsey and Linda O'Donnell. "We already have enough on our plates by wearing the hats of an accountant, salesperson, worker bee, customer-service rep, and so on.
Adding the job of marketer to an already overloaded to-do list may seem impossible. Our seminars and workshops are created as a safe haven for business owners like us to find the do-it-yourself guidance they crave and deserve. Our goal is to create seminars and workshops that teach companies what we know to help them survive, thrive, and remain supportive of their local economy."
Sessions include hands-on assistance and side-by-side guidance from The Turtles, along with dozens of no-nonsense tips for running, marketing, and promoting a small business for unstoppable success.
Flying Turtle Marketing's first seminar, Opportunity Knocks, debuted on June 30, 2009. Its second, Get Ready! Do It Now!, is an intensive, two-day marketing workshop based on the firm's hot little marketing manual, Get Ready! Start Marketing Your Small Business Like a Pro in 15 easy, do-it-yourself steps, published by The M Word Press.
Get Ready!, the first in a planned series of DIY books, was eagerly received by the Opportunity Knocks audience of small-business owners and entrepreneurs.
"I just finished reading Get Ready! and ... I'm blown away! I can't begin to count how many of these types of books I've read, and this is among the best. I love the different fonts, the icons, and the readability. It is coincidentally (I'm sure it's not a coincidence) the perfect size and just the right number of pages. Get Ready! proves you know marketing so much that you can teach it. The irony is that you're giving tips to would-be competitors or discouraging prospects to call because they got it for 29.00—but in reality, doling out these pearls of wisdom drives people to you. This is a terrific page-turner of a book."

Get Ready! Do It Now! workshop breaks the overwhelming process of marketing down into small, easy-to-digest steps, writing in plain English with no industry jargon or geek-speak. The workbook Get Ready!, tackles subjects that are easily overlooked, including developing a USP (unique selling proposition) and mission statement, overcoming prospects' objections, identifying the features, benefits, and ultimate benefit, of your service and/or product, and much more.
Attendees can be confident that Get Ready! Do It Now! will help them tackle the seemingly daunting task of marketing and equip them with the tools they need to promote their business, products, and services effectively.
