			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I first met Andy Sernovitz at a <a href="http://womma.org/" target="_blank">WOMMA (Word of Mouth Marketing Association)</a> event many years ago. He instantly struck me as a genuinely nice guy. I&#8217;ve continued to <a href="http://damniwish.com/" target="_blank">follow his blog</a>, <a href="http://www.wordofmouthbook.com/" target="_blank">read his book</a> and in general <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">stalked</span> kept track of him over the last few years.</p>
<p>When I found out that he was coming to Boise back in April, <a href="http://www.newcommbiz.com/andy-sernovitz-boise-blogger-lunch/" target="_blank">I had to pull together a blogger lunch</a>. We had a great lunch and we all walked away having learned from the Word of Mouth (WOM) master.</p>
<p>What makes Andy a WOM master? Well for one, he wrote a book but more importantly he embodies all the principles he teaches.</p>
<ul>
<li>At the lunch Andy gave away several copies of his book.</li>
<li>He gave away bookmarks, business cards and fun little &#8220;I love my job&#8221; buttons.</li>
<li>He shot a video on his camera at the lunch that he later posted on his <a href="http://youtube.com/user/sernovitz" target="_blank">YouTube account</a>.</li>
<li>I learned about his YouTube account from his out of office email response. (He never misses a WOM opportunity.)</li>
<li>Weeks later I got a package from him of <a href="http://www.daleandthomaspopcorn.com/" target="_blank">the best popcorn I&#8217;ve ever had</a> from <a class="zem_slink" title="Dale and Thomas Popcorn" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dale_and_Thomas_Popcorn">Dale and Thomas Popcorn</a>.</li>
<li>Dale and Thomas&#8217; motto is &#8220;Share Some.&#8221; Which made me wonder if they <a href="http://www.wordofmouthbook.com/" target="_blank">read Andy&#8217;s book</a>.</li>
</ul>
<p>The amazing thing is that Andy does all of this effortlessly. This isn&#8217;t something he tries to do. This isn&#8217;t something that he goes out of his way to plan.</p>
<p>In my opinion that&#8217;s the kind of consistency that companies need to strive for.</p>
<h4>Here&#8217;s your chance!</h4>
<blockquote><p>Andy is hosting a small-group word of mouth marketing seminar. Usually  he only does private training for companies at a very large price, so this is a  rare chance for 50 people to get the best introduction to word of mouth that  there is.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve arranged for a $250 discount for our clients. Use code  <strong>&#8220;welovehewlettpackard&#8221;</strong> when you register.</p>
<p>This is a very practical, hands-on course. In one intense day, you will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Master the five steps of word of mouth marketing</li>
<li>Construct an action plan that your company can start using the very next day</li>
<li>Get the same training that big corporations (Microsoft, TiVo, eBay) have  received &#8212; for a fraction of what they paid</li>
<li>Know how to translate word of mouth marketing into real ROI</li>
<li>Participate in an active, intense day of practical brainstorming (not boring  theory)</li>
<li>Learn from Andy Sernovitz, the guy who literally wrote the book on word of  mouth marketing</li>
</ul>
<p>Andy promises you will learn a repeatable, proven marketing framework that is  easy to execute, affordable, and provides measurable results within 60 days.</p>
