David B. Robinson, CPA’s Classes on Entrepreneurialism for Small Start-Up, Emerging and “Stuck” Service Businesses
CURRENT CLASS OFFERING:
Old-School Guerilla Marketing Tactics
An Introduction to the Marketing Master of All Time: Jay Conrad Levinson
A return to proven, simple and basic Strategies that have been totally forgotten in the 2020s by 99% of service businesses. Immediately begin to build (or re-build) a valuable and unique-to-you quality brand name by attracting life-long forever customers.
David B. Robinson, CPA had a chance meeting thirty years ago with Jay Conrad Levinson (1933-2013), who coined the term “Guerrilla Marketing” a decade earlier in his first book Guerilla Marketing—later named by Time as one of the twenty-five all-time best business books. Robinson and Levinson exchanged ideas and became allies. Levinson used some of Robinson’s ideas in his subsequent books and, of course, Robinson has used many of Levinson’s to build his GreatCPA® Brand. They stayed in-touch for a few years after 1994 and Levinson went on to write or co-author about fifty books, many of which are now out-of-print.
Some Jay Conrad Levinson quotes from a 1989 newspaper article:
“Business owners need three things to market their firms and money is not one of them: Time, Energy and most importantly – Imagination – will build your brand better than anything else.”
"The soul and essence of Guerrilla Marketing is achieving conventional goals, such as profits and joy, with unconventional methods, such as investing Imagination instead of money.”
"Guerrilla Marketing has been proven in action to work for small businesses around the world. It works because it’s simple to understand, easy to implement, and outrageously inexpensive."
This class will give an overview of Guerilla Marketing for small start-up, emerging and “stuck” service businesses principally using Levinson’s ideas as perfected and refined by David B. Robinson, CPA GreatCPA® for almost his entire career. Approximately half the class will be based on discussing Levinson’s ideas in Guerilla Marketing and approximately half the class will be based on Robinson’s specific, original ideas adapted from Levinson—especially the way he has developed his own GreatCPA® brand over the past thirty years using letters, direct mail, flyers and brochures as his principal advertising mediums to generate life-long customers.
