Southampton, MA, November 04, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Pacific Northwest 2013, the 28th annual Convention of North American Farmers Direct Marketing Association (NAFDMA) is the premier event for farm direct marketing and agritourism in North America. Hundreds gather to network and learn about the most current innovations and trends in the industry. Rick Segel, a nationally recognized marketing expert, will be the Keynote Speaker for this event.

He uses humor, anecdote and everyday examples to make it easy for people to absorb messages that are vitally important to the success of their businesses. He has presented to audiences in 49 states, 10 countries, and 5 continents. He is also a bestselling author.
“We've been trying to place Rick Segel in front of our NAFDMA Convention audience for 5 or 6 years. He's not just a speaker, he's a practitioner. Rick's no nonsense style and approach reflects his vast experience and natural feel for retail, marketing and business,” states NAFDMA Executive Director, Charlie Touchette. “I’ve got to admit this blue collar city guy isn't the one I'd want to put on my field tractor or managing my crop plan. But, when it comes to attracting customers and selling products and experiences, Rick is one of us.”
Along with the Keynote Address, Mr. Segel will present a full-day workshop entitled “Proactive-Retailing: Re-Thinking, Re-Positioning, and Re-Focusing your Business to go to the Next Level.” He has also been tapped to speak in two concurrent sessions. The workshops and sessions will take place on February 5-6, 2013 in Portland, Oregon.
