The Future of Twitter. When Will It Finally Evolve?
I’ve been reading with interest the opinions of marketers I respect such as Ryan Deiss and John Reese about Twitter. Certainly the dust has not settled on whether it ultimately proves to be little more than a fad or if it manages to reinvent itself into something that actually has a workable application. Because, right now, it's a mess. The total tonnage of noise just overwhelms the system. Quite frankly if someone was responding to a tweet of mine, I'm not even sure how it would get on my radar screen. The sheer din of sales pitches and idle blather drowns out what could be beneficial, interesting or thought provoking.

Posting relevant comments on blogs is networking
I happen to think that many small business folks would find networking on the web as valuable as networking at, say, the next Chamber event. There are many ways to do networking on the web but I happen to think one of the easiest is to participate in blogs you enjoy by frequently posting relevant content. Blog comment posting is very much like standing around chatting with a group of folks at a networking event (except you don’t have to balance the Swedish meatball plate on your wine glass.)

A recent article in the Sunday Herald here in Sydney Australia really brought home the importance of businesses ensuring that they had a foothold in the online marketplace.

Ask, and You Shall Receive
“Ask” is a powerful word because it calls upon another person’s most noble motive—to serve. As a result, I’ve found that nearly all people will give when asked. You may recall the greatest teacher said, “Ask, and it shall be given you.” I believe you can get almost anything you want … if you ask.

What should you look for when looking for a franchise to buy?

The PR Doctor’s Prescription of Strategic Actions For A Healthy and Strong Pitch To The Media
The news media is literally inundated with pitches for media coverage every day. Unfortunately a very large percentage, some say as high as ninety (90) percent are useless form letters and from people who have done absolutely no research about the media where they have sent their pitch. Media pitches that are done with a lack of media-savvy are real irritants and can really greatly diminish your chances of getting the media attention you want. However, there are proven professional ways to improve your chances with the media by being strategic in your pitches to the media. So what are the strategic actions you can take to improve your “pitches” to the media? The PR Doctor offers the following prescription for a healthy and strong pitch to the media.
Make Cold Calls More Successful- Stop Focusing on the Sale
All the sales gurus have been teaching for years that you must be enthusiastic and aggressive in cold calling tactics. You’ve been trained to focus on the sale and move cold calling conversations toward a sales conclusion. What would you think if I told you to surrender your sales agenda entirely? The new sales mindset actually does just that. It brings cold calling out of the dark ages where you’re going into battle almost as soon as you dial the phone. It lets you get rid of “pitches” and “strategies” and “closing techniques.” And instead, you can become a real person again.
A Consultative Approach
If a sales person pitches a prospect too early in the sales process and has not taken the time to fully appreciate that prospect’s requirements, they are likely to encounter much more resistance in comparison to a sales person who has first sought to identify and agree the prospect’s requirements prior to presenting their proposals. In the current competitive climate where the role of sales people is becoming even more demanding, organisations that adopt a consultative approach are more successful.
