An Evening With John Jantsch In Pictures and Tweets

I logged on to write a recap of tonight’s awe­some SMC event with Duct Tape Mar­ket­ing’s John Jantsch, and then I thought, “Why not let the tweets speak for them­selves.”   So, here is a recap of the evening by those who were in attendance:

“Now play­ing at Stu­dio Movie Grill: #SMC­Dal­las! http://post.ly/f51q” @AGar­dina

“Rea­son u should join local Social Media Club: who wouldn’t want to sit in room full of nerds, tweet, drink & hear smart ppl talk?”  @Elysa

“At #smc­dal­las & just received a pre­view copy of The Refer­ral Engine from @ducttape. Can’t wait to read!” @Sara­hA­lyea

Dal­las’ own @Cali Lewis showed up to plug her upcom­ing con­fer­ence. “I am pumped for Open Camp. Blog­ging geeks (def­i­nitely me) unite!” @JerodMSF

Mary Anne Schweers, Cyn­thia Smoot & Eddy Badrina

“Peo­ple make refer­rals because it feels good to help peo­ple out. #smc­dal­las via @ducttape” @VSEl­lis

“50% + of new busi­ness for small biz comes from #refer­rals” @Cather­i­neOn­line

“try­ing not to laugh from “big papa” ring­tone play­ing at #smc­dal­las. *hint turn your ringers off ” @Elysa

“Will 100% of your cus­tomers refer you to new busi­ness leads? If they trust you, they will” @Cather­i­neOn­line

John Jantsch signs his lat­est book for Chris Walters 

“Want a refer­ral? Fig­ure out what part of your busi­ness is “talk­a­ble”.” @AGar­dina

“Nobody talks about a bor­ing busi­ness,” says @DuctTape. What are you doing to stand out?’ @OhSo­Cyn­thia

“Refer­ral tip from @ducttape: ask 5 of your cus­tomers what it is that you do that they appre­ci­ate” @TheEl­lipseCow

“Con­sis­tency builds trust. Rep­e­ti­tion is good. Rep­e­ti­tion is good.” @Ella­Gantz

“Mar­ket­ing — n. Get­ting some­one who has a need to know, trust, and like you. / via @ducttape” @Eddy­Bad­rina

Tal­ton Fig­gins brows­ing The Refer­ral Engine

“This might be the best slide in @ducttape’s deck http://yfrog.com/07qrqrj” @Lev­el­tenColin

“The 4 C’s of Mktg accord­ing to @DuctTape: Con­tent, Con­text, Con­nec­tion and Com­mu­nity.” @OhSo­Cyn­thia

“Know, Like, Trust, Try, Buy, Repeat, Refer” @MrC­C­Plus

““when it comes to lead and refer­ral gen­er­a­tion, cus­tomer expe­ri­ence is the new black.” @Mar­ket­WaveBM

“The prob­lem with com­pet­ing on price is there is always some­one will­ing to go out of busi­ness sooner than you” @MikeD­Mer­rill

“A big thanks to Diane Fef­fer and Stu­dio Movie Grill for host­ing #smc­dal­las.” @MASchweers

And I think @YoBlake sums it up by say­ing, “event 4 me = reminder 4 how much the unique small things & expe­ri­ence we pro­vide vastly set us apart & stand out”

You can see all of the party pics on Flickr cour­tesy of Gang­way Adver­tis­ing.

We hope to see every­one out on Thurs­day, May 20 to hear Tim Hay­den of Blue Clover!
