Elite Retreat Take your Business From Good To Great!

“The Elite Retreat Alumni Club is still going strong with about ten members calling in to our mastermind group each week and we were actually just talking about how still no event can compare….I’ve personally turned a $3,000/month hobby into a $50,000/month business by springboarding off of what I learned at Elite Retreat.”

-Mitchel Harad, Broderick Street Partners LLC, San Francisco, California

“Top 2 Elite Retreat differentiators: first, the quality of both speakers and attendees was unparalleled thanks to Shoe's screening process. The talks and even the cocktail sessions were amazing idea generators-- I could hardly write fast enough. Second, I'm lousy at meeting new people but in a 35-person setting even I was a networking rockstar. So instead of patting yourself on the back for getting 2 minutes with a speaker after a crowded conference session, try 2 full days (and evenings!) of unlimited facetime with some of the biggest players in the industry.”

-Jenise Uehara, Celebrity Clothing Line, San Francisco, California

“I made back the cost of the Elite Retreat within 1 month. The amazing part is I have only implemented maybe 10% of the ideas and changes that were suggested at the Elite Retreat. Its now a year later and I am still applying ideas I learned from the Elite Retreat and continue to increase my business bottom line.”

-David Adams, Escalate Media, Houston, Texas

“Wow, What do I say about the retreat? I knew it would be good, but this far exceeded my expectations. My husband is teasing me because I can’t stop grinning. You guys are the greatest and I’m so grateful for having been there.”

-Lisa Brown, B. Unlimited Group, Houston, Texas

“The high price tag made a few waves in our industry, but all that talk will be put to rest once the blogs and reviews start flaring up. The fact is, buying consulting from top industry experts is expensive, and when you have one leader for every 3 or 4 attendees, you basically are buying consulting. Imagine that, a few grand a day for some kick ass consulting. This was not general advice for the masses. At times it was a workshop about my site(s). When speakers spoke about broad topics, they either spoke about them DIRECTLY as it relates to one of our verticals, or about one of THEIR verticals. In explicit detail.”

-Chris Hooley, NextStudent, Inc., Phoenix, Arizona

Will I attend the next conference? Absolutely. Much has been made of the cost of the event. If you can appreciate the difference between “expensive” and “valuable”, and you want to have access to the best advice available, you will not be disappointed with investment you make by attending the Elite Retreat.”

-Nicholas Plummer, Primacy Group Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia

“Hearing all the leaders talking about their fields of expertise has been incredible. It is amazing having them specifically applying ideas to our sites, pulling them up on the screen and tearing them apart with their feedback. This will definitely help me to make more money. It has been amazing and they should charge more for it. I look forward to next year.”

-Laura Alter, LauraAlter.com, Austin, Texas

“There’s something about the idea of spending such an intense one on one time with experienced webmasters that makes some sense.”

-Darren Rowse, Problogger.net, Melbourne, Australia

“This is probably a good option for those that have exhausted Search Engine Strategies and PubCon, but are not quite ready to hire a dedicated search marketing coach. It’s worth it to sit down and spend two days with these guys.”

-Andy Beal, MarketingPilgrim.com, Raleigh, North Carolina

“It sounds like a great idea and certainly something I’d agree could provide incredible value. Small-knit groups will undoubtedly provide the individual attention that many folks don’t get at the larger conferences, but naturally, this comes at a price.”
