This talk intends to deliver, in real-time, real value to attendants; including how to quickly grow a community online, form a substantial pre-launch strategy, how to ensure your emails and tweets get seen/answered, creating easy workflows, content marketing and user/customer acquisition.

Attendants will leave with many practical methods that will be useful in executing a personal growth and sales strategy (free) applicable to many industries, actionable immediately. This session will uncover the tips and tricks the big startups have used, as well as secret hacks Vincent has used with clients he has worked with at his agency, Magnific.
