    Reviewing the list of registrants this morning, this is shaping up to be a terrific mix of talent in the room for this discussion. If you have business friends or colleagues that need a boost to their revenues and have not registered, get them in here quick as we are capped for attendance.

    You will be talking about the ideas and tools in this seminar for weeks to come, and many of the tools you will learn about can be deployed immediately after the event.

    Greetings Miles,

    I missed your BizEnrich talk some months ago. Heard so much about the education you bring to the table I just had to attend. By the look of the number of BizEnrich members attending people want more of your expertise. I look forward to meeting you.

    Enjoy and be excited!!

    Thanks Ron. Appreciate the kind words. One thing I know about this event is you will leave with pages of notes and to-do's.

    I am very excited about this event as well, I can't wait to share best practices, web tools and more. I agree with your assessment of those registered, there will be some very productive discussions going on before, during and after the event. Spread the word-only 18 spots left and there is a hard cap.

    Look at the mix of professionals registered and you know this will be a very productive session. There are only a handful of seats left, so if you have a friend or colleague that would enjoy this information, get them registered quickly.

    Remember, everyone that attends will receive a Microsoft "Friends & Family Discount" card and I have just arranged for everyone that attends to receive their next order of 500 business cards for free (within reason). I promise a productive morning for you all.

    If you are interested in QR Codes and how some of its applications, this was the talk to attend. Miles was informative, engaging, knowledgeable, and he empowered the participants to take advantage of this technology in several ways.

    He kept with his expressed objectives and delivered valuable actionable resources. All participants were able to walk away with the ability to scan QR Codes if they had the technology to do so (Smart phone).

    Miles further provided other resources to take advantage of this technology and explained in layperson terms how these items translated into business data to help the ned user better understand and serve their clients.

    Even though this talk was geared towards those in the real-estate market it could have been tailered to other professions and the information was usable, in spite of the slant.

    I recommend this speaker, at least as it relates to this topic to anyone interested. It is my opinion it willl not be a waste of your time, and will enrich you and empower you to better understand innovative technological advances in this area.

    I learned so much it will take a few days to absorb most of it. Thank You So Very Much!

    Miles, outstanding presentation, well organized, very compelling case for adopting the knowledge and putting the gears in motion around mobile technology and QR codes. I first started hearing about this at the Realtors National Convention in October last year in New Orleans. Then I read more about it in my Active Rain community. Now I feel like I can go with it, thanks for all that you have done to become an expert and share this valuable information. We will reach out to you from Windermere.

    A heartfelt thank you to all of you that attended this morning's session. What a great group of people in attendance, willing to jump in, share your experiences, thoughts and questions. My objective was to deliver "actionable" information, tools and techniques that you can take action on immediately. Judging from the comments above, we accomplished that goal together.

    I hope that this is not the end of the conversation, but only the beginning. Share with the rest of the attendees what works, what doesn't and if you get stuck - speak up.

    Thanks for making this a valuable experience for everyone involved.

    Even while working in the background I was able to absorb what seemed like 2 solid hours of non stop ideas, examples, free tools, and all the rights how to's and what not to's. I wish this could have been the normal half day event. Thanks Miles for a full morning of great, useful knowledge I can put into use immediately! Not to mention the $50 off printingforless promo code and 10% off microsoft store card!

    Thanks Miles for a GREAT presentation today. You are always so generous with your information and I learn so much from you. It was a great lesson for me on what to do on my next business card. I am also excited to share what I learned with my franchise partners. Our franchise industry does a great job staying on top of technology and having a speaker like you at one of our events is something you and I should talk about. Having a QR code on my back window is sounding like fun...with my URL below it. Pretty cool! Thanks again Miles and safe travels. Your franchise coach, Phyllis :)
