No Socks Day: An Excuse to Prospect?
| |
| I’m always looking for a new reason to connect with a prospect that hasn’t yet responded to my emails.
Clearly triggering events are the number one message to center on, but what if they haven’t responded? After 3 or 4 emails I find myself trying to establish my personality so the contact will begin to feel as if he knows me and want to reply.
However, that’s hard if all I ever talk about are issues they might be facing and how I can help. It starts to sound repetitious and boring. If I don’t mix it up a bit, my email will hit the contact’s delete barrier before it’s ever opened!

| |
| By Robert Croston and Patrick Cahill
The market drops 370 points in a single day, corporate earnings disappoint and housing prices continue to sink. We are in uncertain economic times. We may be in a recession right now, or could slip into one next week... or next month.
As optimists, we don't like forecasting difficult economic times. But, even optimists have to come to grips with the realities of our uncertain marketplace.
With economic anxiety looming, many of our clients are asking: how should I position and market my firm in the year to come? Assuming yours is a healthy company, here are our general recommendations.

Depressed or Depleted?
| |
| There are times when coaching borders the line of therapy - addictions, mention of suicide (yikes!), and sometimes depression. Patrick Williams raised an important distinction, "Is it REALLY depression, or is it DEPLETION?" Discerning this is the first step. How can one tell the difference? There are many free assessments online to quickly determine if speaking with a professional psychologist is the next step or if other strategies may prove effective. |

Herding Cats and Social Media ROI
| |
| I was recently part of a social media panel at the first Internet Marketing Conference in Calgary. First of all, respect must be given where it’s due… it was an absolute pleasure to share the floor with some of the brightest minds around including Gillian Muessig, Alli Marshall, Patrick Schwerdtfeger and Doug Lacombe.
One of the topics we discussed was ROI of social media and throughout the conversation, there were a few common threads I will try to distill into a few key points below.
Who are you trying to reach?
This should be the first question to ask yourself. Before you even consider creating yet another DOA twitter account or a Facebook fan page, get to REALLY know your customers. Investing time and effort here early will save you many headaches and barrels of cash later. |
