Nothing is more important in motivating business buyers to respond online than a compelling incentive offer.  Offers serve to:

• Overcome people’s natural inertia
• Attract a qualified prospect
• Move the prospect to the next stage of the buying process

But how do you create an offer that will attract the prospects you want, and motivate them to interact with you?  Follow the principles that you'll hear in this lively 90-minute seminar. We'll take you through the principles of offer development, how to shape your offer to appeal to the right prospects, and how to pump up your offer and make it work harder — without any additional expense.  You'll also learn how adjust your offer to work in a variety of online media, from banners, to email, to search engine ads.

For B2B marketers, communications are all about starting and sustaining relationships.  With this seminar, you'll take away a clear understanding of how to motivate a response online, and how to sort through your options and pick the incentive that will kick off a relationship with the best possible prospects.
