Annual Summit for Secretaries and Administrative Professionals

Now, this is one big event I spoke recently. I think I had approximately 500 audience.

This year’s summit is my first appearance before this crowd. Ariva is very kind to have included me in the line up of great speakers and resource persons. They got me for this event, in fact they deliberately put me as the last speaker on the last day, because they wanted the event to close with a bang!

A bang we did have!

I had a great time speaking before this crowd. Every loved the presentation: Is There A Job Waiting For You? on how to create your own job description. It’s pretty interesting to note that these people really listened (and watched closely) my presentation.

As observed, nobody stood up to go and leave the seminar. In some instance, delegates usually leave early without finishing the last session. In this case, they stayed!

DEI Direct Selling Company

DEI Direct Sales company visited my office for an exploratory talk. And I think we closed a deal.

I did a 90-minute motivational talk for their sales people in Quezon Avenue. It’s a very informal “relaunch” of the company since it experienced a nose-dive sales in the last two years or so. They’ve been performing well in the past but due to several circumstances, it lost its track and here they go, trying to go back!

There’s no unusual scene. Their sales people seem to be excited and afraid and uncertain about what’s next for them but I think the DEI is trying to really get things moving again.

Is that one of the reason they me?

I think so.

Entrepreneur Magazine interview

Ok. They call it “dream come true.” Well, in a sense yes.

I’m very happy to be interviewed by Entrepreneur Magazine Philippines. I was told that the article will come out by July or August. Well, we just have to wait!

Several times, I’ve tried to connect with the magazine so they can write something about me but to no avail. This interview is not intentional. They found my website upon searching for “filipino speech writer” and I got them there.

They sent Gil Garcia and we did an interview.

Fascinating, is it not? Oh well, that’s what I love this Search technology. When people look for something and you are there, you’ll have it. However if you are not, well, it seems like you don’t exist. That’s the power of the “search” and I’m glad to learn how “the process” is done.

Filipino Franchise Association Meet

This isn’t really a travel thing but I’d like to post it as part of my itineraries, or should I say breakthrough for March.

The Association of Filipino Franchise, Inc., better known as AFFI had its general membership meeting and I was invited to give a five-minute speech to orient the members about our partnership.

Creative Business with Lloyd Luna is now a media partner of AFFI and we’re very happy about that. After the meeting, we had a memorandum of agreement signing with the leadership of AFFI particularly Paulo Tibig, who is its incumbent president. One of the founders such as my good friend Richie Cuna is also there.

Internet Marketing Speaker

It’s a great day. It’s another day for me to teach what I know about Internet marketing. It’s not an easy way for me when I was starting my Internet marketing study. And honestly, I had to spend so much for my education—non-formal education via the Internet itself.

And so here’s the story of my historic speech in SMX Convention Hall during the 2010 Sales and Marketing Professionals Convention on March 18, 2010.
