Richard Seppala, known as the ROI Guy, was recently honored by The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors as a 2010 PowerTalk Thought Leader of the Year.

Orlando, Fla. – December 9, 2010 – This past weekend, Richard Seppala, advertising and marketing ROI expert, along with other leading business and marketing book authors, joined in New York City to attend the Best Sellers Summit and Awards Gala hosted by National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™. (NABSA)

The NABSA honored Richard as one of fifteen thought leaders to deliver a PowerTalk at the event about what businesses and entrepreneurs can do to grow their business in the new economy.  After the event, the members of the NABSA voted for their top three thought leaders for 2010 to receive the PowerTalk Thought Leader of the Year Award.  Richard Seppala was chosen as one of these thought leaders for his expertise in marketing and advertising ROI and his systems created to help businesses fully and accurately measure their marketing ROI.  The NABSA also honored international best-selling author of The E-Myth, Michael E. Gerber, with a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Richard Seppala’s latest book, ROI Marketing Secrets Revealed was released on September 30, 2010.  On the day of release, the book was a #1 Best-Seller in the Direct Marketing category on Amazon.com.  The book also reached the best-seller list in two other categories. ROI Marketing Secrets Revealed reveals million-dollar secrets that top marketers use in their specialty for maximum return on investment (ROI) and how to directly increase your profits today.

Richard has also recently unveiled his new marketing ROI system, The ROI Matrix.  The ROI Matrix goes beyond providing the usual response rate information, helping to increase your marketing ROI in a more substantial manner.

The ROI Matrix is built around the notion that just measuring the pure response rate doesn’t take you very in-depth with the numbers.  You can find out how many people reacted to your ad – but you still don’t know how many ended up as paying customers.  By only measuring the pure response rate, you’re still not answering the essential question that really has to be asked about any marketing – whether or not the marketing made your business any money.

About The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™:

The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ was founded by two attorneys, JW Dicks, Esq. and Nick Nation, Esq. who are also best selling authors and represent authors and experts nationwide.  Both of the attorneys are members of multiple organizations, associations and academies that recognize and honor the best in the business, and they thought a similar organization should be created for Best Selling authors who don’t always get recognition for their accomplishment. Authors themselves, they recognized that only a very limited number of books made the major New York Times Best Seller list and just like the awards shows put on by the entertainment-based organizations, they wanted to have more categories for authors to be accepted and recognized for their accomplishment. The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ now honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
