Steve Porter will conduct a two-part workshop

Steve Porter is a successful sales and marketing professional who has marketed and sold everything from air conditioners to financial products to TV advertising. He’s also an accomplished trainer and presenter who’s effectively taught many different kinds of people everything from how to sell to how to live in a different culture. Steve’s trained and led sales organizations and is still out there on the front lines, being the owner and only sales person for Snap Marketing for Small Business. 

SnapMSB connects small businesses with the marketing resources they desperately need - provided by carefully selected, outstanding professionals, at prices they can actually afford. This is because Steve’s found that offering the right marketing tools from the right providers for the right price equals more customers and less stress for his clients.
