Ilise Benun:
Master Networking and Self-Promotion Consultant
“The key to self-promotion is persistence. You can't start and stop. Building relationships with people is a constant seed-planting and watering process. So if you consider yourself introverted or shy, get over it – at least during the time you spend promoting yourself. The message you must convey is this: I have something of value to offer to you. Sit right down so I can tell you all about it.”
ILISE BENUN is a self-promotion expert. Her articles have been featured in Inc. Magazine, Nation's Business, HOW Magazine, and Working Woman. She's authored several books, and conducted countless workshops.
One of her most recent endeavors was co-founding Marketing Mentor, a website dedicated to teaching business business owners and executives the "marketing mindset" and giving them the tools to succeed in marketing their services.
