Many Thanks to the P.P.S.V.!
by Mitch
Pepper & I want to thank the membership of the Professional Photographers of the Sacramento Valley for the incredibly warm reception that we received from them last night. We came to speak about ‘Creating Your Own Personal Marketing Army’, and the group of ~120 was energetic, focused, and savvy, with a great set of questions. We really had a fantastic time.
We were also asked to sit on the judging panel for their monthly print competition (they are very brave indeed) and we were both impressed with the quality of work displayed. Congratulations to James Hays for taking Best Print of Show, and to both James and Cesar Palima for splitting the Speaker’s Award (Pepper and I just couldn’t agree on a single winner). James is clearly in the lead in the subtle application of filters and effects and Cesar has a clear affection for, and understanding of light.
Pepper kept the audience spellbound. SPELLBOUND I TELL YOU!
PPSV members crowd around to see a ‘triple cheeseburger’ – Pepper’s GINORMOUS albums.
Afterwards, we headed to The Cheescake Factory with ~25 of our new friends for a much needed infusion of carbs and conversation.

A special thank you to Nathan Smith and President Bob for the invitation and for the very professionally organized presentation. For any that are in or near the Sacramento Valley, you should really check the PPSV out – its has a really active membership and is a very welcoming and supportive group. Pretty much everything that a photo club should be.
Once again, thank you for making it such a fun event. We sincerely hope that it was useful information. Feel free to email us with any follow-up questions you may have.
Cheers!

Thanks for Pepper and Mitch for coming to Sactown and sharing your success story, it was truly inspiring, and motivating. I’ve already applied your marketing methods! I wished I could’ve made it to the cheesecake factory – next time! I hope our paths will cross again! It was so great to meet you, you are just too funny!

I just heard the two of you speak the other night and WOW!!!!! I felt like I’d been to a Tony Robbins seminar, what feeling, passion, power, and energy. Where do I sign up to sell Pepper Nix products, I know I can get rich.
I was a guest as I am a student (a little older than most) but your talk was fabulious.
Keep up the good work and God bless you both.

Thanks so much for sharing so much of your time and knowledge!! I learned more from what you said about how to run a business than I ever did school. ( and I have a BS in business admin.!) I really loved what you said about how we are able to help so many people with photography.
Hope to cross paths with you again, you are truly inspiring!
Sincerely,
Laura Alexander

I only wish you could have stayed over for a hands on workshop. Listening to you and sucking in all that eneregy you put out to our group was like a shot in the arm, just what I needed and I think all that attended felt the same way. To bad Mitch did’nt get a chance to get that many words in! Haaa!!!!
Pepper and Mitch, your words and ideas are just tremendous. I think this was the first ever seminar that I have ever come away with that I remember everything that you spoke about and did’nt bore me.
In fact I think I am still running on left over Pepper to this day! ha!
