Learn to generate continuous leads with a single well-written white paper.

Do you need to drum up new business in 2008? Are you responsible for bringing prospects to the sales organization?

Leads are the fuel that drives business growth. In fact, acquiring new customers is the TOP priority of marketing professionals in 2008 (as reported in B2B's 2008 Marketing Priorities and Plans survey).

How can you lure a steady stream of prospects?

The answer: The well-crafted white paper.

Why? Because white papers are attractive to people early in the buying cycle.

Now you can learn the critical strategies to generating leads with effective white papers in this seminar with Michael Stelzner, author of Writing White Papers: How to Capture Readers and Keep Them Engaged.

This 90-minute presentation includes lessons from FedEx, Ikea, Yale, and more.

What Members Say About This Webcast

"I just finished writing my first white paper last month, and feel *considerably* better prepared for my second. A few company assumptions turn out not to be best practices."

"There was a lot of practical information - this seminar served as a good outline for someone like me, who does not write a white paper everyday. It's taken some of the fear out of getting started."

"If you are interested in the topic, the seminar thouroughly covered it. The Q&A part makes it even more worth while."

"This is a great seminar if you're wondering how you can better leverage your firm's white papers. I'm definitely guilty of at least two of the biggest marketing mistakes when promoting white papers, and I bet you are too!"

"The value was amazing. I had no idea I would gain so much actionable information in a 90-minute session. This seminar contained more meat than many full-day conferences I have attended."
