You’ve got an audience, why aren’t you getting more prospects & qualified referrals?
Whether you’re a thought leader or in a leadership role in a B2B organization for thought leaders, two things are always true: You always need new prospects and it’s easier to build your business’ client or membership base by converting referrals than with cold calls or automated, impersonal LinkedIn messages and other AI outreach.
Finding them can seem overwhelming, how do you ask for them consistently and stay top of mind with your community without being annoying?
Without them people throw up the white flag and slip back into slimy cold outreach sales tactics, complicated funnel systems, or relentless social media posting. None of which are fun or exciting.
What if there were better, more personal ways to get more prospects and qualified referrals that are effective AND fun?

Let Me Introduce Myself & Offer Three Solutions
You’ve done the hard work of building an audience, so why is finding new prospects and getting more qualified referrals so difficult? Because you’re not effectively fostering relationships by enhancing your marketing and building your brand.
Put my 20+ years of experience with interviewing successful people, building and marketing events, and designing and facilitating mastermind experiences to work for you to bridge your prospecting and referral gaps!
Here are three unique ways we can work together to do just that:
Sizzle Reels: Roughly 80% of the people visiting your site and LinkedIn profile are just passive lurkers. You can turn those passive lurkers into engaged prospects. Click here for more information!
Virtual Mastermind Experiences: Create experiences for your community that give them solid action plans for branding, marketing and more along with potential referral partner introductions for yourself and everyone else involved. Click here for more information!

Featured Interviews
“Mark did an excellent job of facilitating a live “Keynote Conversation” format event for us at the Illinois chapter of the National Speakers Association. He had a good command of the room, and had excellent instincts as to audience control vs. prepared topics of his own.
Mark served as a marketing co-chair with us at National Speakers Association of Illinois, and has proven to be very valuable to us as a contributor to our mission”

“Mark is a powerhouse digital marketer, networker, connector, and podcaster.
I had the pleasure of being a guest on Mark’s Idea Climbing Podcast and his level of preparation was amazing. He read my book, prepared topics addressing my material, as well as my background, experience, and focus. During the podcast Mark was high energy, engaging, and funny. Our discussion just flew by!
It’s no wonder why he as so many followers and has had so many great interviews.
Mark’s knack for asking the right questions and therefore getting the right answers is incredible. There are a lot of podcasts out there and it takes a lot of skill to amplify someone’s message while amplifying your own.
And Mark is a master! If you have an opportunity to work with Mark, network with Mark, or be interviewed by Mark, I recommend taking the opportunity as you learn from and work with a true master!”
