REFERENCES
Eric is at the top of the list - one heck of a team player. That is the most important attribute people must bring to my team. I have missed the mark here and there on this with past team building efforts, but with Eric, I really hit the bull's eye.
His next best attribute is the eagerness and constant drive he has to learn, improve and deliver.
Eric is also a superb connector. As my son (and business partner) have joked that there cannot be a single person out there who doesn't like Eric. He's just one amazing likable and most importantly helpful teaching kind of guy.
Since bringing Eric on board what I probably love and enjoy most is that he is not a "heavy". Meaning someone who doesn't take energy from the projects and team but adds to it at an exponential level. As the CEO of 80/20 Marketing this is such a load off my mind.
Lastly, Eric has brought camaraderie and fresh energy into my most intimate circle of business relationships. Difficult to say how much that means to me as the team leader of 80/20 Marketing.

Eric Walker is a phenomenal coach exemplifying “attraction marketing” to the core. He doesn’t just “talk” a good talk—he lives it. I met Eric originally through a coaching program we offered—he arrived as a leader. Eric has provided “over the top” value to our organization as a content writer and a coach. He’s assisted others successfully (with rave reviews) on subjects ranging from “how to write when you think you don’t know how” onto lead generation and over a dozen related areas in marketing and business development. If you’re seeking clarity and direction in your business, I highly recommend plugging into ANYTHING Eric offers to you. He knows his stuff and he leads by example. That’s the kind of guy you want to learn from.

Eric's copywriting skills are exceptional. He genuinely understands people - how they think and what encourages them to take action, and that's why his work always drives results. Eric also brings with him a strong knowledge of online marketing best practices, making him an even more valuable asset to any marketing campaign. If you get the chance to work with Eric, do it. He'll get your results!
