Though he's best known as a go-getting change agent who quickly transforms business owners, entrepreneurs, and company employees into Internet-savvy marketers, Corey Perlman is a self-deprecating guy who toys with the idea of being "a Jimmy Buffett impersonator in Las Vegas." As president of eBoot Camp, Inc.--an education company that provides people with the knowledge and skills to effectively market their business on the Web--Perlman has conducted over 200 eBoot Camp workshops and seminars to public audiences as well as small and mid size companies all over the United States since 2005. His book, aptly titled eBoot Camp, is being published by Wiley Publishing and is expected to hit bookstores nationwide in early 2009.

Q: How and why did you get into your line of business?
A: I was fresh out of graduate school and vacationing in Key West with some friends. My marketing professor called me and I picked up the phone with one hand and had a piña colada in the other. He told me he was just offered a job with General Motors as the Dean of eCommerce and he was given the task of teaching GM dealers how to use the Internet to grow their business. He asked me to join him and I left Key West that day and headed straight to Michigan. We toured the country in a 10-seat passenger van with five interns. Coincidentally, one of those interns became my wife. We went from city to city, teaching car dealers about the Internet. We learned very quickly that if we didn't pack it full of value and make it entertaining, we'd be booed off the stage. We met that challenge and the eBoot Camp was born. It got rave reviews and we got some great press-including articles in The Wall Street Journal and Fast Company.

Q: Who are the top three people who inspire you to excel in what you do?
A: The three people who inspire me are the same people whom I dedicate my book to. There's my mom, whom I lost seven years ago. She taught me, among many things, that life is indeed short and to truly treat each day as if it were your last. My wife, who continues to be an inspiration on how I should conduct myself as a person and businessman--as she is the most down to earth, sincere person I've ever met. Finally, I am inspired by small business owners. I think they're the hardest workers on the planet. I respect and admire them and want to help make them successful any way I can.

Q: How did you utilize Integration Marketing and what was its most immediate impact on your business?
A: My biggest challenge has always been getting the initial exposure of the eBoot Camp message out to people. Once we were in a room together, they saw the value in the content and it was easier to sell larger products. So I began pricing teleseminars and workshops at little to no money so the barrier to entry was minimal. And after providing an hour or so of valuable content, I integrated an up-sell of my product or consulting services. Had I tried to sell those without the initial exposure, it would have been a much tougher sale. I intend to use Integration Marketing much more as a roll out more eBoot Camp products. This is why Mark's book, Integration Marketing, was such an eye-opener for me. Although I was using integration marketing by offering some of my different products in my own point-of-sale, I had been drastically underutilizing my UMV in someone else's transaction stream. Mark ignited a new motivation for me to connect with companies who sell to small businesses and approach them about working together.

Q: What drives you to succeed?
A: It actually comes from a conversation I had with Sharon Lechter, who co-wrote Rich Dad, Poor Dad-one of my all time favorite books. She has a passion for helping people and she channels that passion through teaching and writing. Her outlook is that if she does her job well which is to help as many people as possible, then success will take care of itself. That became my motto as well. Success to me is seeing the face of the AC repair guy when he learns how to add his local listing on Google. Or the huge grin the struggling real estate agent when he just saw his article listed as one of the top three resources on a critical keyword phrase in his business. That's everything to me.

There's no need for you to pick the brains of people who've successfully practiced integration marketing.

We'll do it for you.

We're featuring a series of Q&A interviews with people who can teach you a thing or two about the finer points of integration.

Get to know these noteworthy personalities through straight and sharp shop talk that'll give you priceless life lessons and killer insights.

Well, I just realized I've been using "Integration Marketing" for years and never knew what to call it either!

I run a small state non-profit to help handicapped children. This year's project is to help these children and their families get computers,so that they may learn technology and how to put up websites.

As an Internet Marketing Consultant, I will be donating my services to them next year, to help them start and run online businesses.

This will enable them to be self-supporting, be off our tax rolls, and hopefully never again need State or Federal aid of any kind to survive well. Many of these children may also get very wealthy and will then help other children like themselves to do the same. Pay it Forward!

I have been sitting outside of the local Wal-Marts to get donations to help these local kids in their communities.

I located in a high traffic location with non-competing merchandise as give-aways for cash and computer donations for the children.

With lots of businesses now competing for customers due to the slump in the economy, many people have asked me how they can be outside Wal-Mart. They too, are looking to position themselves in the path of a hi-traffic source of customers. Unfortunately, they have to be a non-profit type of business to do so with Wal-Mart.

I may soon help many of the struggling businesses in my community by using my IM Consulting services to get them started marketing on the Internet to boost their sales and expand their businesses.

Being in front of the entrance to the Wal-Mart stores also creates interest for their customers and good-will in the community for Wal-mart, which makes the integration mutually beneficial.

Running a business, growing a family or building a strong economic Country, takes integrity, hard work and lots of integration to succeed.

You've done it again, Mark! You have it all mapped out in your new "Integration Marketing" book. It is a MUST read for anyone who wants to succeed in life and business!

You've taken something complex and put it together for everyone to understand in it's essential simplicity.
You've made it easy to recognize, in everyday life, and easy to apply to make that "everyday" life a bit easier for all who USE it.

Highly recommended, and essential to success! "Integration Marketing" by Mark Joyner is the one book that should be on everyone's Christmas list!

The Integration Point:
The Classroom (presential, on-site or virtual)

The UMV:
Getting a Profession or Degree or the Stamp on Your Resume along with getting a Safe And Secure Job for some & get the social respect and recognition for 'Being Somebody' (And there's much, much more. This is just a piece of the pie...)

Why:
This Integration Marketing spot is so common, simple and obvious that once I reveal it, you will get one of those moments when you ask "why I didn't think about this before".

Yet, this has to be one of the most ingenious inventions of all time (and it dates back to 345 BC!) where the full possibilities to profit from this model are still unexploited.

Question: How much time, money and energy you invested over your life just to get your 'formal' education?

If by any chance you attended Kinder Garden at an early age and went trough the entire school process just to get your degree at the University of your choice, chances are you spent more than 20 years of your life... and if by any chance you have children(s) now multiply this years by the number of kids you have. After all you want them to get an education right? (a natural word of mouth effect)

The beauty of this Integration Spotting example is that it happens over and over again, it is already hard-wired in every family who will eventually send their kids to get the same 'software' installed in their child's brain.

Then the educational system takes care of the rest at the end of every school period, using it as an Integration Point to 'sell' your next glass of water (aka your next required semester)

Each certificate or legal document you get on any form to prove that you have completed each step of the system is the UMV you are looking for.

As you progress you collect a series of UMV's that will eventually grant you the right to get your degree or official profession.

That's just concerning the knowledge part; I haven't even mentioned the material you'll need to buy during your formal education such as uniforms, books, computers and other related stuff to meet all the required tools to consider yourself suited to learn.

Is there a better continuity program than that?

We are talking about a multi-billionaire business here where schools are using what I call "Knowledge Integration Marketing" to keep entire families and governments investing on the education of each new generation of professionals.

And that's just for starters, most of these persons will look to spend their precious time, money and energy working in a safe-secure-job and eventually, as they look to get paid more, they will spend even more time, money and energy getting a higher education in the form of masters, PhD and others such as continuing education, seminars, coaching programs, etcetera.

An entire book could be written about the potential of this simple concept and chances are that I probably will.

The hidden psychological triggers behind this marketing model are so many and there are also other elements I haven't even mentioned here, but since I have my hands tied (I am trying to get this Marketing Spotting as short as possible to comply with the rules of this amazing opportunity that Mark is making possible for all of us) please excuse me for not sharing some of these secrets.

This concept is so powerful yet so obvious and natural that most people don't realize the insane potential on using Knowledge Integration Marketing in their business, especially today where the information age it's still on its infancy.

I am really considering to write a book on the entire subject so I can share this knowledge with you, but in the meantime, as I implement this knowledge & strategy into my own business to walk the talk and write on experience rather that just theory, I hope this Integration Marketing Spotting made something pop up in the back of your mind so you can apply it immediately into your own business.

All the Best,
Peter Palatnik
CEO & Founder Of BoxedBrains.com

P.S.1 Dear Mark, if you feel that your upcoming best-seller could benefit from a more detailed version of the concept I am sharing here, it would be an honor to improve and polish this unknown knowledge, yet to be exploited on the Internet, and add even more value to your next book.

(Just for the record, you are actually one of the few lonely exceptions, since Simpleology has implemented part of this integration model so beautifully.

P.S.2 Sorry for the length of this post! I did my best to keep it as short as possible, but I am so excited and overwhelmed with all the information I have on the subject, that I really had a hard time to keep it short.

Here's a spotting that is very versatile and all about automated integration marketing.

http://www.trialpay.com/

The Integration Point:
Transaction Stream integration at your checkout, it's an alternative form of payment that may increase your sales. Test it, though.

"Place the TrialPay payment option everywhere customers exit without purchasing and anywhere else you want to increase conversion (e-mails, Website, in-product, trial upgrades, etc...).

"TrialPay matches your customers with offers from brands they already have an affinity for, such as Gap, eBay or FTD. A customer chooses an advertiser offer and gets your product for free.

"TrialPay pays you a Cost Per Acquisition (CPA) from the advertiser that often exceeds your regular price, and your asking price is always guaranteed for every transaction."

PLUS: As an advertiser you can get your product in front of the eyeballs of people who want to get something else for free. People you would most likely never be able to reach any other way.

The UMV:
You integrate the trialpay button on your checkout site or you integrate your offer into the trialpay system.

Why:
This allows you to generate a sale from an indecicive prospect, the website says up to 15% more sales. You can use it in various ways in your different approaches to convert prospects into customers. You go the extra mile in service to the customer offering your product for free. Your product and brand are perceived by the customer in unison with some big name businesses. As an advertiser you can get your offer in front of people who are in the process of buying, an automated cross-and-upsell-system. Definitely worth testing on stable, working offers.

Get lots done

Fellow Integraters,

The Integration Point that I would like to share with you is in reference to
website traffic and point of sale transaction streams.

The UMV is: no cost / low cost website traffic plus web analytics with the
training to make it all understandable and actionable for new to intermediate
level internet marketers.

My name is Mark Edward Brown and together with my business partner (Dan Moses)
after reading Integration Marketing, we instantly put in place a plan to integrate our service (web analytics plus training) with other traffic generation sites that we own. Not only that but we were able to put our "thank you" offer on other program owners thank you pages and integrate them into our traffic generation network of sites.

The results were not just impressive, they were astounding; after the first week of integration on our sites alone we received about 45 clients, then at the 14 day point when we were just getting our partners integrated we saw a spike in activity of double our previous weeks activity 45 more clients. The best part is as of this writing we have been into the integration process for 3 weeks (21 days) and we now have a total of 200 new clients and growing daily!

See our "Thank You" offer below:

Integration Point: Traffic and Transaction Streams Integration Points.

UMVs: The Unit of Marketing Value is air travel ticket and vacation packages.

Here is how it works. My cousin owns and runs Motherland Food Market- a grocery store that serves the African population in the Dallas Forth Worth Metroplex in Texas with a large concentration of Nigerians. He has a loyal and supportive customer base. There are also customers from Ghana, Senegal, Liberia, Ethiopia, Gambia, South Africa, Kenya and others.

I work with him on a part time basis and one of the things that happens is that customers call in wanting to know where they can buy air ticket and prepare their taxes during tax season. These are a traveling people. Some travel a couple of times each year.

To take advantage of this traffic stream, I have recently signed up with Unselfish Wealth, a marketing arm of Travellencia to sell Air Ticket and Travel/Vacation packages to our customers. In due course, I also intend to integrate into this traffic stream, a tax preparation service.

I think this would be a perfect integration because there is a strong customer trust and loyalty that has developed over time.

The Integratio0n Point here is the transaction stream of a funded proposal its a simple $9dollar solution. That allows a new business owner a way to pay his advertising with no out of pocket costs while solving a cash flow problem at the same time ..Allowing him to integrate an ad co-op or a back end product in one move

the UMV ...is the funded proposal itself., while allowing a new business owner a way to overcome a cash flow problem and also sell any of his own products at the same time or introduce an mlm on the back..

I believe its very important for new business owners to have a way to bring front money to grow they're business. The opportunities with a funded proposal are endless..

helping others will always reward you with the help you need.....thanks Mark

As a solo indie musician I was having a hard time selling my music and merchandise on the interweb, although I put some hard work in setting up stores and a decent web presence.

Just as I was about to throw in the towel, I got into contact with this choreographer, and he kind of lured me into this contemporary dance project, which I can proudly say is my job right now, being a performing artist...as a dancer...

Well he asked me to audition my music, and now he's thinking about having my music arranged for two pianos or quatre mains, as people say in the language of classical music...

Besides that, one fine day my choreographer called me up and asked if I would like a grant from a royal foundation here in my country...I just needed to change gears some and become a social musician...so if all goes well, I'll be booked into the studio for seven whole days, for creating a four song demo that will be shopped to venue holders and theaters by my choreographer..

Now isn't that some neat integration marketing story?...and it's all thanks to Mark somehow!
