Working With Your Media Relations Firm Realistic Expectations and Avoiding Misconceptions
You've hired a firm and are excited, but anxious. You've paid them the first month's retainer fee in advance. You've signed a letter of agreement, and now you're committed. What if they don't do their job? What if they're just smoke and mirrors? What if it doesn't work? What the heck have you done?

Pitching Lessons
To have yourself, your service or your product featured in the media, you need to effectively pitch the media. It’s an art. By appearing in the media you create a bridge between your company and your clients or customers. You also build your brand by establishing credibility that only comes with being featured as a news story. Your best bet is to hire a public relations firm or PR consultant to develop, launch and implement your media relations campaign for you. It can be a tricky business and you can often do yourself more harm than good by trying it on your own. But, if money is tight and you’re not in a position to retain a firm, you don’t have to wait to get started. There are some PR tips and secrets you can try. With that in mind, the following is a pitching overview.

To Phone or not to Phone (pitch) The Media
You’ve come up with your story ideas and pitch angles, you’ve written your press release, you’ve sent out the email pitches and you’ve placed your release on one of the paid wire services and… nothing!

There’s a start!

Crossing the Grand Canyon
One of the most important steps in growing a client base is keeping connected with your contacts on an individual level. All it takes is a follow-up call, which can be done at various times throughout your relationship with your client. However, you have to admit that many of you just do not make that call, therefore letting business slip through your fingers. This is what I refer to as "The Grand Canyon."

Is Your Sales Model Effective? Know Your Salesforce ABC's
What happens when you compare a model like Deborah's - if you're gonna go hunting you'd better come back with dinner - with a model that has its salespeople making 3 sales calls per day, or around 60 per month? Do you think those salespeople come back with 60 new customers or orders per month? No chance! They probably sell 10. That's why they're on so many calls. What would happen if you told those salespeople that you only wanted them to go on 30 calls per month, but you want them to be a lot more selective, and you expected them to close 50% instead of 10%?
