I received an exciting phone call earlier this week. A marketer from Los Angeles California phoned my on my cell to express interest in an upcoming Adwords Workshop. The person on the call works with several clients and a team managing their pay per click advertising. He was looking for more training for himslef and for his team. As I was talking with him, the big question on my mind was... "How did you find us?"
