Bayview client Bob Circosta, the first on-air host at Home Shopping Network and one of the most successful salesmen in the world, has sold over $1 billion in merchandise on the air. Bob will be sharing some highlights of his sales techniques during a session called “Life’s a Pitch” on Wednesday, November 10th. The event is being co-sponsored by Bayview Public Relations and the event host, The University of Tampa Entrepreneurship Center. Bob’s session will emphasize:
- How to market anything and anywhere
- What new businesses need to succeed (not money!)
- The basics of pitching yourself, your company and your product
- Electronic retailing and sales
Bob’s success started when he sold 112 electric can openers over the radio in 1977, which eventually led to the creation of the Home Shopping Network. He now specializes in training people how to sell anything, anywhere through his company, Bob Circosta Communications.
“Life’s a Pitch” will be held November 10th from 7:45a.m.-9:30a.m. at the Vaughn Center on the University of Tampa campus. More information on the event, which is free and open to the public, can be found here.
New Bayview client raises awareness of identity theft
Tuesday, October 26th, 2010 by KyleIn raising visibility for our new client, ALIANT Bank, our strategy is to find ways to talk about how the Alabama bank helps its customers, tied to its leaders’ ability to speak as experts on financial matters.
For example, ALIANT Bank recently held informational events on avoiding identity theft for residents in the Montgomery and Alexander City areas. We worked with our PR partners at The Lollar Group in Birmingham to gain news media coverage by the ABC affiliate WNCF-TV (see below for news clip) and the Montgomery Advertiser in Montgomery, along with a news story in the Alexander City Outlook.
ALIANT serves the Birmingham, Montgomery, and Alexander City markets, and is back on a growth track, fueled both by its retail operations and its success in making business loans.
