Al & Stephanie's Top Tips:

- Hiring brand ambassador talent will save you time and money over recruiting, interviewing, hiring and training yourself.

- You’ll miss 90% of your attendee leads if you engage in long conversations instead of focusing on lead gathering.

- Create an EXPERIENCE for consumers that’s branded to, well… your brand! Don’t just do a business card drop or use cheap branded promo items.
