Know-How Exchange : Other

Dear mohammadiann,

First, I for one would appreciate it if you'd make sure your CAPS LOCK key is off.

Second, from Iran, I'd use Google to highlight the best university courses and marketing professors associated with those courses here in the US.

Third, set up a Twitter account and track down well known marketing professors through social media (you might want to use Facebook and YouTube as well).

You can find details on marketing professors that use Twitter here www.systemicmarketing.com/top-marketing-professors-on-twitter/ -

Before you invite anyone anywhere, establish relationships with them, get to know them and make sure they're comfortable exchanging information with you. Then ask.

I hope this helps.

I would suggest that you go to www.google.com and do a search on, “speakers bureau”. these firms specialize in providing well-qualified speakers, and you can get an idea of their pricing and terms and so forth.

As my keyboard doesn’t have the option of Persian script or even basic Arabic, I’ll gladly forgive you the use of capitals in your question!

Randall’s suggestion is a good one and you could also ask Tim Smith who appears here under the user name of Wiglaf (See the top 100 experts on the forum for his details) He may or may not be able to assist but as his speciality is pricing and he is an associate professor he might be able to make further suggestions.

Best wishes

Steve Alker
