The Next Revolution Is In Your Pocket

Instructor	Peter Shankman, vice president, Vocus Peter Shankman, vice president and small business evangelist for Vocus PR Week Magazine has described Peter Shankman as “redefining the art of networking”, and Investor’s Business Daily has called him “crazy, but effective”. Shankman is a spectacular example of what happens when you merge the power of pure creativity with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and a dose of adventure, and make it work to your advantage. An author, entrepreneur, speaker, and worldwide connector, Peter is recognized for his radically new ways of thinking about social media, PR, marketing, advertising, and customer service. Peter is best known for founding Help A Reporter Out, (HARO) which in less than a year became the defacto standard for thousands of journalists looking for sources on deadline, offering more than 200,000 sources around the world. HARO is currently the largest free source repository in the world and sends out more than 1,500 queries from worldwide media each week. In June 2010, less than two years after Peter started HARO in his apartment, it was acquired by Vocus, Inc.

	Look around. Find one person you know without a camera in their mobile phone. You can't do it. Put that mobile phone in the pocket of a customer who just had a great experience with your brand. It becomes a PR megaphone, spreading the gospel of your business far and wide, and turning your customer into an evangelist for your brand. In the hands of a customer scorned, it becomes a nightmare from which you may not wake up. In this entertaining, humorous, and interactive webinar Peter Shankman -- entrepreneur, angel investor, marketing consultant, and pundit -- shares case studies from companies big and small that illustrate why good customer service will be the next big thing.
