PM contributing columnist and contractor marketer Adams Hudson will join five other contractor consultants to launch the first-ever Contractor Sales and Marketing Super Summit, Oct. 14-16 in Atlanta.

"When I tell people 'this is the era of opportunity,' I mean it," says Hudson, who admits that some friends thought he was crazy for launching a first-ever contractor event in a staggering economy. But there’s a twist to this event: Adams made each speaker sign a contract that they’d “deliver a methodology that had generated a verifiable minimum of $100,000 to a client.”

“This way, our attendees could just copy the steps, which we also required would be given to attendees,” he adds. “This also meant that the material speakers would share was fresh, not a rehash of the usual porridge contractors are often fed. And obviously no beginners, no pretenders.”

Whether you attend the Contractor Sales and Marketing Super Summit or not, Hudson is offering his free, 16-page report, Contractors' 7 Steps to Thrive in a Recession to help any contractor who wants to “stem the tide of dismal sales.”
