Congratulations to our winners– they have a lot of reading to do. (If you’re friends with them, see if you can borrow some of the books they’re not reading.) Here they are about to go into boxes…
Our first place winner is Josh Robbs.
Josh is a website consultant who helps small businesses develop and operate websites focused on meeting real business goals. He said he’s excited about all the books but is especially looking forward to digging into Oatmeal v Bacon and Authority Marketing.
Our second place winner is Marisa Eckberg, who runs Grey Owl HR.
This is so exciting! Thank you, I’ve never really won anything like this before – maybe I should go get a lottery ticket! From the books and your Sales for Nerds course, I hope to gain some tips and trick as well as develop some better sales skills so I can ultimately help more small business owners with their HR needs.
You can find Grey Owl on Facebook and on LinkedIn.
Our third place winner is Albert Swantner, who’s the CTO of MobileTech Rx, based here in Austin. Mobile Tech RX is a venture-backed software company that helps auto reconditioning professionals make more money and save time.
I’m CTO and co-founder of a startup called MobileTech Rx based in Austin and a big part of what we are working on is our sales and marketing process. As an engineer I have a lot to learn in this area and so I’m really excited for this set of books to help me set up a process and grow our company.
I’m looking forward to reading those books!
You can also find Albert on LinkedIn.
