The Savvy Seller Hits NYC!

While in New York City the past few days, I got a chance to get out from behind my computer and talk to 'real' people.

On Monday I met with 3 other eBay Certified Business Consultants - Marcia Cooper of ClickTixHub.com, Jennifer Stevens of Brooklyn Books and Wendy Siegel of WebWendy (left to right in photo).

This was an interesting get-together as there are only 28 eBay Certified Business Consultants in the world. We all met at noon for what I thought would be a fun lunch. What time did our lunch end?? 5:00PM!!

On Tuesday, at the Search Engine Strategies Conference, I saw Marcia Cooper again and had the pleasure of meeting Ina Steiner of AuctionBytes, Jake Becker of WatchCount.com and Phillip Davies, President of TIAS & BigNews.Biz.

Some of the other highlights of my day at SES included a private training with one of the Facebook staff on using FB for business and another training with some of the staff from Google on using Analytics.

Wish you all could have been there too!
