In October and November, we have the privilege of helping to promote the launch for an exciting new website – that is the brainchild of Barbara Weaver Smith. If you are in business and if you want to take your business to the next level – even in these uncertain and tough economic times – you should visit, no you need to visit and join her website.
We are looking for blogs, radio shows, newsletters, and other venues that reach business people who want to attract and succeed with larger customers. If you think your business is too small to work with a “whale” or a big customer, you owe it to yourself to check out the site and to follow this virtual tour. You can register for a free account on http://www.thewhalehunters.com and take a look around.

About The Whale Hunters Website
The Whale Hunters is introducing Pier9, a new online community for entrepreneurs, small business owners, executives, and sales representatives who want to grow their business fast by making bigger sales to bigger customers.
“It’s a place to gather; it’s a place to launch. It’s called Pier9 for The Whale Hunters 9-phase process. Whale hunters come here to make camp, sharpen their tools, scout their whales, and launch their boats with help from other whale hunters on the pier.”
Pier9 offers a wide variety of resources for small business development: articles, podcasts, recorded teleconferences and webinars, blog, and new material produced daily and available 24/7. At Pier9 members can check the calendar of upcoming events, both virtual events and face-to-face events in their local communities, hosted by a Whale Hunters Certified Partner, located in many major markets throughout the United States and soon to be introduced in Europe.
A key feature is the very robust member profile in which members can list big companies they have pitched and big companies that they would like to pitch. As membership grows, this peer network of deal-makers will be able to provide priceless information and assistance to one another. The deal-coaching features also include “Ask An Expert”, where The Whale Hunters experts will respond to specific question s from members, and “Coach and Connect” – the member forum for discussing deals.
It is a subscription-based service. Free (basic) membership offers limited access plus pay-as-you-go webinars while premium membership ($29.95 per month or $299 per year) offers free access to all existing and upcoming articles, podcasts, and webinars plus a discount on books and training packages.
