June 11, 2018 — Just because WordPress is the best web platform available AND your de facto choice to provide web and marketing services doesn’t make selling it any easier. “Selling WordPress” will show you if, when and how to talk about the platform, how to include it in your “sales pitch,” and (gasp!) when to leave it out of the conversation. Scott will show you how to “stop selling,” raise your prices, improve your bottom line, value yourself and still – be an everyday WORDPRESS HERO to your customers. Know what to say every time when you get the dreaded: “so what do you charge for a website?” Come with questions, leave empowered. Take your business to the next level.

June 2, 2018 — Every business starts with someone. Most small businesses begin with just one or two people at the start, which inevitably means the founders or owners constantly juggle dozens of different tasks each day. Pippin will share stories and insights from his own experience juggling the many roles and responsibilities a founder carries in a bootstrapped business.

May 31, 2018 — In this talk, we will discuss several other uses a small business can use WordPress for rather than “just a website”. The WordPress ecosystem has grown well beyond a blogging platform and informational websites. It’s now possible to run an entire business off of WordPress.

May 5, 2018 — Further, I shall talk about the things to be considered to maintain a network installation running 100s of Multisite sites and scale them effectively and what tools and plugins are available that eases the workflow. Finally to add on, I shall go one level higher and touch the topic about network of networks and how to setup a network of networks and maintain it effectively.

All in all the idea behind talk is to educate about maintaining a network and network of networks effectively on WordPress.

April 17, 2018 — When you started your web design company you fantasized about doing all day the one thing you love most: creating beautiful websites, writing code and making the internet a better place. Fast forward a few years: you love and appreciate most of your customers.

However, every once in a while you get a client that drives you bananas! Shitty clients can drain your creativity, make your life difficult and take a lot of your time. They are every business owner’s nightmare and almost everyone in the web development has an outrageous “client from hell” story to tell.

That’s why we need to develop a “shitty client radar” for pre-screening purposes and learn how to respectfully ‘fire’ a not-so-nice client. Over the years I have worked with many great clients, but some were just beyond reasonable. I have developed a set of tactics which prevented me from ending up in potentially toxic situations.

In this talk I am going to share some of my tactics and get you starting on developing your own “shitty client radar” for your WordPress business.
