When it comes to putting on dynamic, effective events – whether in the for-profit or non-profit universe – Morty Sibler is the go-to man.

A Wizard of Ads partner, based in Montreal, Canada, Morty consistently shows his clients how to squeeze ten times – sometimes even more – the sales or donations out of once-ho-hum sales presentations and fundraising dinners.  

Morty named his company Mad Strategies, as in crazy or angry. In fact, as he explains to host and reputation coach Dean Rotbart, M.A.D. stands for “Making a Difference,” and Morty spells out exactly how to you, too, can go MAD, this week on Monday Morning Radio.

Jaymes Sorbel knows how to get the immediate attention of your customers and drive them to action: text message them.

Sorbel, founder of MeTesto Professional, says the 160 characters contained in well-executed text-message campaigns can generate a huge response.  A key reason?

Customers are so viscerally addicted to receiving and sending text messages that 80% of us text while watching TV and 44% of us take our smart phones to bed with us.

Sorbel details the dos and don'ts of effective text-message marketing on this week's Monday Morning Radio.

[Note: At several spots in this week's episode, the audio quality is briefly warped.  The poor audio passes very quickly.]

Sorbel is interviewed by Wizard Academy faculty member Dean Rotbart.  Dean and wealth management expert David Biondo are co-hosts of Business Unconventional. The one-hour radio newsmagazine debuted in October 2011 on News/Talk 710 KNUS AM in Denver.

It may seem simply a matter of semantics, but after 25 years advising more than 100 companies, Thomas P. McNulty has stopped referring to himself as a consultant and begun describing himself as an activist.

"Today's clients don't want advice," McNulty says. "They want action."

This week on Monday Morning Radio, McNulty explains how his Buffalo, NY healthcare management and marketing firm, Success Stories, has written a new and improved financial chapter for a vast array of large, medium and start up clients who have replaced their consultants with activists.

McNulty is interviewed by Wizard Academy faculty member Dean Rotbart.  Dean and wealth management expert David Biondo are co-hosts of Business Unconventional. The one-hour radio newsmagazine debuted in October 2011 on News/Talk 710 KNUS AM in Denver.
