After all, how many advertisements do you read that tout the number of years a company has been in business? You may be risking your career, your finances, or even your own self-esteem.

My other option is to use the small lightweight laptop I use for travel. I can then choose the correct word from a list of possible word options, but I have to hope it’s on the list.

– Martha Beck Not long ago, my career had been dedicated to sales, mentoring, coaching and leading an exceptional sales force. I packed my box, said “so long&# to the big bucks, turned in my company SUV, let go of a cushy expense account, and found the courage to walk away from a career that no longer suited me.

It’s free advertising that actually works. And most of the speakers’ circuits don’t pay you a penny, nor do they pick up travel expenses. Try doing that in any other medium. You are a billboard for you and your company. Standing up and speaking on a topic commands respect — for you and your product. Unported License.
