Here are the names of the lucky winners of the eight tickets to The Art of Marketing – coming to Calgary on Monday June 14th:
- Volker Mendritzki
- Kashif Choudhry
- Chuck Warnica
- Nora Bouz
- Kae Shummoogum
- Berta Gomez
I took the names of all those who entered and created a random number generator, in Excel, to come up with the six winners above.
I then created a second random number generator to choose two of the six people from the list above as winners of a pair of tickets. The winners of a pair of tickets were Volker Mendritzki and Kae Shummoogum. Everyone else won a single ticket.
Winners can contact me by phone (+1.403.874.2998), Skype (Craig.Elias), email (Craig.Elias@ShiftSelling.com) or by using the contact form found at http://ShiftSelling.com/Contact
So that’s eight tickets I’ve given away but I have one extra pair. Thursday morning I will send out a message via Twitter (CraigElias is my Twitter name) saying that I have two more tickets to give away and the first two people to phone my cell phone (+1.403.874.2998) and mention my favorite two words that are in that tweet will win those tickets.
If you don’t win it’s well worth the money to attend. Save $50 off the ticket price by registering here,

Nine seconds. That’s the length of the average attention span today. Just nine seconds! People become distracted by the next product, the next ad, the next option. How can you possibly hold your customers’ interest long enough shape their opinion? How can you break through the clutter to nail your next sales call, or motivate your internal team? For that matter, how can you influence any decisions?
