Hire Me to Speak to Your People. Cheap!

Over the past several years, I have quietly worked with a few pharmaceutical companies to give them advice. Usually, I have been asked to make a presentation about the use of the Internet by pharmaceutical marketers.

I never asked for nor received any money to do this. But recently, I have asked that a donation be made in my name to a charity, especially one that is a favorite of the employees of the pharma company that invited me in to speak.

In October, 2009, I was invited by Dennis Urbaniak, Vice President Innovation and New Customer Channels at Sanofi-Aventis, to speak to S-A marketing teams about social media. About 50 or so people turned out to hear my opinion.

Dennis arranged to have S-A donate $2,500 in my name to the Somerset County (NJ) United Way (see letter below). Thank you Dennis and S-A!

Of course, I could have used that $2,500 to buy my new Samsung LN52B750 52" 240Hz 1080p Full HD LCD HDTV and HT-BD3252 5.1 Channel 1000W Blu-ray Home Theater System! But, I suspect that the United Way has a much better use for the money.

How about you? Why not start out this New Year by inviting me in to speak to YOUR people?
