Digital/Inbound Marketing Advice and Guidance

On the first day of class Peter said we wouldn't be needing a textbook. The class rejoiced. As I sat there, I began to question what kind of class it would be: A blow off? Was he a careless professor? But as I listened, I got the overwhelming feeling that Peter might be onto something the rest of his colleagues hadn't reached yet. Mr. Risman taught "Google". The information we studied was current, relevant, and timely. Most classes are small steps towards a degree; Peter's class was a small step towards a career. Lessons I learned in that classroom were immediately relevant in my professional life. When you start taking your notes to work, you know you're finally learning something valuable.

As if it wasn't enough to give us the tools we needed in our careers, Peter would often aid students in actually getting jobs- myself included. Even though attendance wasn't mandatory, I never missed a class. The information was too valuable. Peter cares about the work he does. He's a realist and a straight shooter. I was lucky to have him as a professor.

Professor Risman teaches ideas that work. I can say this from personal experience as, just today, I received an email from LinkedIn stating I was in the top 5% of viewed profiles. I achieved this success using techniques I learned in my Internet Marketing class at Texas State University in the Spring of 2011. As an insurance agent, I do not market a product online, but a service that includes my expertise. I used the curriculum taught to drive traffic to my website, create value, and finally close the deal in an easy way for my clients. If you're looking for help marketing yourself or your products online, driving traffic to your website, or just making yourself show up on Google, Mr. Risman would be the very first name to come to my mind!

Peter is a great professional, he is very conscious and a dedicated person who is oriented to reach goals.
He knows how to social media in the web. His experience as an Internet Marketer impressed me.

Pete and I worked together when Gateway Marketing International was just getting off the ground. What impressed me the most about Pete was his ability to excel in both the creative development and strategic planning sides of the business. Pete made sure Gateway exceeded client expectations - every time - not because of what he wanted -- but because he listened to the client and made it his personal objective to over deliver. He set high but realistic goals and worked closely with the Gateway team and the client to deliver a superior product while developing strong, trustful relationships. Pete's high energy was the fuel that drove the team and I highly recommend him and would welcome the opportunity to work with Pete in the future.

Peter has an excellent understanding of on-line marketing and how to directly relate this type of marketing to increased sales. He is also a wealth of knowledge as to the leading trends with on-line marketing.

Pete is smart and dedicated to getting a job done right. He played a crucial role in implementing changes to an existing service that caused revenue to double. These changes were unique and challenging to say the least.

Pete and I worked at AT&T in the International organization. Pete was very talented in that he was extremely analytical and data driven, but was one of the few who very successfully married that with marketing strategy and tactics to drive the business forward.

Peter provides his clients and partners with a very deep understanding of the requirements of online marketing and marketing solutions as a whole. Working with him has been a pleasure and has provided me with the knowledge and resources to insure my clients are also well taken care of in these areas.

Pete is one of those rare people who has the ability to demonstrate leadership in architecting and working with the granular nuts and bolts of systems and data to extract strategic diamonds of actionable intelligence. I particularly remember his ability to translate product data and its consumption by individual segment target markets to yield true market-facing information. In my role at the time as a segment manager, this proved invaluable in growing both product revenue and the value of my segment to the firm. Passionate, enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with, Pete would be an asset to any team faced with meeting its challenges - and wanting to enjoy the process to boot.

Peter has a fantastic grasp on all things 2.0. I would recommend Peter if you are looking to increase your income, build a new website, or just want to pick his brain about business and internet marketing. Great guy!
