Intensive Marketing Answers and Advice With a Twist: Feedback Feasts(TM) Instead of Hot Seats Are Top Component of New Marketing Mentoring Program

A new marketing mentoring program, Marketing for More, makes the top-level, intensive marketing expertise of conference "hot seats" available affordably and with a decidedly constructive spirit (www.marketingformore.com).

(EMAILWIRE.COM, January 03, 2008 ) It’s a staple of marketing conferences: a "hot seat" where one at a time, a few business owners receive blunt, unstinting criticism and suggestions from one or more well-known experts. Often the "hot seat" holder stumbles away too dazed to separate the helpful from the stinging comments. Now, though, a new marketing mentoring program, Marketing for More, makes top-level, intensive marketing expertise available affordably and with a decidedly constructive spirit (www.marketingformore.com).

"Years ago, marketing conference hot seats were a vital component of how I learned the real-world principles of marketing," says Marcia Yudkin, head mentor for Marketing for More and author of 6 Steps to Free Publicity and 10 other books. "But I decided to call them Feedback Feasts(TM) for my marketing mentoring program. 'Hot seat' has long been slang for the electric chair, a means of execution, and implies extreme stress, vulnerability and discomfort. Instead of becoming the target of painful criticism and potshots, the recipient
of a Feedback Feast(TM) becomes surrounded by a cornucopia of savory suggestions and appetizing advice."

Marketing for More members who pay $99 a month or $990 a year have the opportunity to schedule several Feedback Feasts(TM) a year, along with access to a members-only discussion board where they can receive feedback, answers, suggestions and support whenever needed. Other member benefits include a library of 150 hand-picked articles on marketing, discounts on products and consulting, and unlimited participation in other members’ intensive problem-solving sessions.

Marketing for More head mentor Marcia Yudkin has delivered commentaries on National Public Radio, authored a Book of the Month Club selection and served as a Webby Awards judge for eight years running, in addition to working with clients ranging from publishers, videographers and software engineers to physicians, Internet entrepreneurs and consulting firms.
