New Jamboree

"I just wanted you to know that I've been using a ton of the techniques that I learned at Camp Niche and they're working already! I wasn't expecting instantaneous results, but I'm getting them! I have in hand four double-market, full-page, annual contracts from a marketing rep who wouldn't even return my calls before!! Thanks a million. "

"Camp Niche was everything promised and everything I had hoped it would be. The presenters were informative, helpful, and accessible for one-on-one conversations. Seminar topics were relevant, with real-world illustrations. Instructional materials were well organized and comprehensive. Networking opportunities with other attendees were a bonus. This camp is appropriate for all experience levels, from novice ad sales professional to publisher, and is well worth the seminar fee."

"Third time to Camp Niche!! Many thinks to Carl, Nancy, and Ryan!! Each time I have attended Camp Niche I have returned with valuable information that has helped me succeed in my ad sales career. In the past 4 years I have been promoted from Ad Sales to Ad Coordinator to Ad Team Manager! This has all been made possible through Camp Niche training!! I plan to attend many more Camp Niche programs in the future."

"I've been in the publishing business for over 15 years. Over the course of that time, I've participated in a lot of formal sales training. I found Camp Niche stood above the rest for one main reason: your professionals are still at it. Many people seem to believe sales training is the pasture they're put out to when their sales careers are done, and they act accordingly. your counselors still have the drive and dynamism (and relevance) that comes with being in the soup on a day to day basis."

"I think this might be the most beneficial event I have ever attended. With only myself on the Upstream sales team, I have had to pick up things on my own while this magazine is just being launched. You guys filled every void that was missing in my approach and delivery of ad sales without me even asking questions. I am excited to go back to my publisher and work on these new and innovative approaches to the magazine. Thank you! Truly invaluable!"

"I attended Camp Niche in Atlanta and learned about webinars and online advertising. Less than three months later, we have our first webinar scheduled with a $10,000 sponsorship, developed ad spots on our web site, and signed $7,000 in contracts. The next project is selling a sponsor for our digital magazine. All of this because of Camp Niche! I have been selling advertising for forty years and thought I would get out before I had to learn about all these new technology-based sales opportunities, but they overtook me. Camp Niche saved me from extinction! Thank you!"

"Hey Carl, Thank you so much for doing the seminar. I found it to be one of the most helpful that I have attended in over 20 years of magazine publishing! Your focus on the sales management, organization, time management, and sales strategy really saved our butts - just in time for 2011."

"Having been selling space for the past 20 years, I was happy with the many things you covered that I felt I already knew and embrace in my own selling efforts, but I was more pleased with a number of new things I was able to take with me (and that we are already utilizing). I would - and will - recommend Camp Niche to others."
Rolf Petersen

"Thanks for the Camp Niche experience. Being totally new to advertising sales I would have to say your Camp is a must. As a matter of fact you could rename it "Basic Training" or "Boot Camp". I learned some very valuable techniques and tricks of the trade that I have already used."

"I loved Ryan's Online 101 and Essential Skills the Selling the Internet classes because I feel like our magazine has huge potential to do high volumes of sales on our website. I enjoyed learning in a workshop type of an atmosphere, because I was able to concentrate and take it all in. I would definitely attend again in the future if more topics were offered."

"I used the Camp binder like a bible, and it paid off. I've also started to build some strong relationships with reps at major media outlets who have many clients. Things look promising for TCJ's future, and our publisher feels like my days in Denver were money well spent. "
Laura Hawes

"To be honest, having been in magazine ad sales for over 2 decades now, I was just a little skeptical that I could gain much from your program. I was very pleasantly surprised. Despite the "shenanigans" I learned, or maybe it is better to say I relearned, a lot. Thanks for the experience."
John Grey

"We have been very successful in using the many techniques that we picked up from your educational seminar. It was one of the most fun, delightful, and very interesting learning seminars. After owning this business for 30 years I didn't think I needed to be educated about marketing anything any more!! I know I was wrong. "
