LinkedIn Tip: Maximize Your Email Address

2022-08-07T17:45:40-04:00December 2nd, 2011|Social Media|0 Comments

Is your email address optimized for your social networking sites? If not, you're making yourself too difficult to track down, and people will give up trying to find you. This week I sent a mailing to my 1137 LinkedIn connections. Here are a few of my observations: 4 email addresses sent me an auto responder asking me to click on a box to confirm that I was a human. Those systems are good for personal email, but don't let your clients or prospects go through hoops or they're bound to go elsewhere.

55. Marketing With a Calendar You'll gain more attendees (and ezine subscribers) when you create a Marketing Calendar for your business.  In it, you'd list (among other marketing efforts for the year) all of the webinars you plan for the next year.  You'll put this same information on your website and on any marketing materials you publish.  When you speak, provide the website for your speaking calendar.

Even with the best of intentions, New Year's resolutions come and go. For many, they end up causing more stress and guilt than they're worth. Instead, read on to learn about a simple and easy way to keep yourself focused throughout the entire year; Personal Themes. In general, themes are uplifting. Have you ever gone to a birthday party and asked people to bring gifts with a "garden" or "fishing" theme? I know someone who asked people to bring something they made themselves!

How to Write a Biography that Makes the Phone Ring!

2022-08-07T17:45:41-04:00November 21st, 2011|Leadership|0 Comments

Hint: Your Bio Isn't Only About You A good biography can make the phone ring.  So how do you write a bio—by definition a piece of writing “all about you”—in a world that asks, “What’s in it for me?”  Writing a biography for your website or social media profile requires a slight shift in focus in order to attract your best customers.   First, resist the urge to simply cut and paste from your resume.  Sure, it lists past work experiences and accomplishments, but it reads like the ingredients on a shampoo bottle.  Prospects want to see that you’re credible, but they also want to connect with you.  Done correctly, a bio can serve many purposes.
