Daivd Smith Bio

About David Smith, Founder of 1st Insight Communications, Inc.

David Smith is the founder and president of 1st Insight Communications, Inc. Internet Marketing and Web Design, based in Norwalk Connecticut. He specializes in helping businesses grow their contact lists, their leads and their sales using strategies both on and off the internet.

The three most significant barriers to marketing success are:

1. Invisibility (lack of ability to attract a market audience).

2. Inability to capture the names of your audience and add them to your contact list (leads generation).

3. Inability to convert contacts into buyers (sales conversion).

With help from 1st Insight Communications Marketing, expect your business to create new growth through enhanced visibility, lead generation and sales conversion.

With a background that spans both speaking before live audiences and communicating through the written word and over the internet, David Smith is far more than the web designer who asks clients for content and then pastes it onto web pages. David actively helps clients generate content, coaching them to identify their value, their target market, and the keyword rich message that will help them connect and convert their market audience into new clients. Expect to sharpen your marketing message and the effectiveness of your communication and business processes when working with David.

Deliverables:

• Integrated Internet Marketing (Website, SEO, Blog, Email, Social Media, YouTube, PPC Marketing)

• Message Development (copywriting)

• Integrate your internet marketing with your off-internet marketing (word of mouth networking, direct mailing, media marketing)

• Presentation Development

• Integration of Marketing with Business Practices

• Product roll-out strategy

David guided the 5000 member Oregon Department of Transportation through the process of developing the State of Oregon's first on-line application and employment website ODOTJobs.com, thereby increasing the number of qualified applicants by over 50% within 12 months. He guided Successwaves Breakthrough Coaching to grow their contact list from zero to over 2000 in just 4 months, and has grown a Twitter following from zero to 25,000 in 4 months, converting followers to email marketing list members and clients. As an Assistant Director of the largest word-of-mouth networking organization in the world, BNI (Business Network International), David has grown networking groups of business professionals in Oregon and Connecticut.

When both your on-line and non-internet presence are optimized for high visibility, leads capture and sales conversion, expect your business to enter a rapid growth phase.

On a personal level, one of David's interests is rapid mountain ascent. Using such common, inexpensive equipment as a spiked track racing shoe, he developed an innovative, flexible lightweight strategy that resulted in cutting the time to ascend Oregon's 11,300ft Mt. Hood from 6 hours to 2.5 hours, and Washington's Mt. Adams from 2 days to 4 hours.
