Derek Gehl heads up the Internet Marketing Center, a role he stepped into after Corey Rudl's untimely death in 2005. Since Derek was already a business partner with Corey, the transition was natural. The Internet Marketing Center was started by Corey in the late 1990's and has skyrocketed to great heights; by 2005 it earned almost $40 million in sales. They claim to make over $7 million now in sales each year.
Derek Gehl has a solid marketing background of his own to speak of. That, and he has three online books to his credit. They are - Creating a Website for Your Service Business, 12 ways to Increase Online Sales, and 12 Free Tools for Online Businesses. Derek now offers details about how to generate maximum revenue from your e-mails and protect your e-mails from spam. He teaches you every possible way of handling everything in your business successfully. Derek provides many real examples to illustrate different techniques and tips. All of the products revolve around various techniques to grow and maintain a successful online business presence.
Although Derek Gehl proves he possesses the skill to run The Internet Marketing Center, he was still the less slick of the pair, especially when it came to interviews or presentations. This was always Corey's arena. While their products are still considered top-notch in the business, customers need to beware that there will always be another sales pitch for a product needed in addition to the one they just bought. The catch is the customer needs to know this upfront, since there is no mention until they've already made the purchase. Plus, the products aren't cheap. Regardless they do provide a worthy amount of value.
Lastly, one other item that has come under some scrutiny is their customer support. The right hand doesn't seem to know what the left is doing. If there's a problem with any software or questions that need answering, it may be quite a while before anyone provides an answer since they don't seem to be able to get all of the information necessary. For a company that utilizes Mailtool as a system to facilitating emails, they need to incorporate this for better customer support.
