New Website Look and Feel and a New Offering

Couple of things hopefully of interest to you:

NEW WEBSITE:

I trust by now you've seen the new website -- its look, feel and ease of use are considerably improved. Our website has been quite robust, but not the most user-friendly. A number of people really contributed to creating this improved experience for you and it's been a long-time in the making. But, thankfully, it is live! And, over time, we will be working to improve the wording on a number of the pages.

While you are perusing the new site, you may want to check your own profile and update it. This is important as not only has the Find a Consultant search been improved but we have another member benefit to offer all our members.

IMC MARKETPLACE:

We are now offering an online Marketplace for all (inside and outside IMC USA -- consultants, clients, and prospects alike) to find you. Look on the home page, at the top left. Click on the box entitled IMC Marketplace Directory (http://www.imcmarketplace.com/).

You will be taken to a directory of all our members -- and, if your profile has your information in it (see the paragraph above), you have a free listing. You may, should you wish, upgrade your listing for a small subscription amount. This is just another way prospects and clients can find you.

NATIONAL CONFERENCE:

I had previously mentioned the National Conference in October at a Disney property, Buena Vista Palace. We continue to get good comments and are working on a great program, in conjunction with ICMCI's annual meeting and celebration of their 25th anniversary. I encourage you again, to Save the Dates, October 4 (arrival and opening), 5 and 6th. The room rates are outstanding and, should you wish to bring family to enjoy Disney, rates are extended several days on each side of our event. I would also encourage early registration to ensure participation in the room block.

A REQUEST:

Should there be a topic you would like me to blog about, please send me an email (dtnorman@dnabizbuilder.com) with your suggestion(s).

Stay tuned.

My best,
