Suggest You - If I Were Coaching You
In last week’s article, we talked about why your small business needs a press kit. Because they’re not just for the press, I prefer to call them small business information package. To recap, you need a small business information package to augment your business card, which has only limited information about you and your company.Your small business information package is the printed materials to give or send to prospective clients to tell them who you are, where you are, how to contact you, what you do, how to buy, and why to buy from you instead of your competition.This week, we’re going to discuss what you should put inside your information package. For all intents and purposes, anything that promotes your company can go inside it. Some of the more common things include:• Business card • Small business brochure • Letter of introduction • Product or service review •
The Building Blocks to Successful MarketingIt’s More than Sales and AdvertisingBy Julie ChanceWhether you’re a Fortune 500 company or a one person shop, to be successful, you must have a marketing strategy and you must implement it consistently. However, it doesn’t have to cost a fortune and you don’t have to be a creative genius.The key is developing a marketing strategy that forms a solid foundation for your promotional efforts. Implementing promotional activities such as advertising, direct mail or even networking and one-to-one sales efforts without a marketing strategy is like buying curtains for a house you are building before you have an architectural plan. How would you even know how many curtains to buy or what size they needed to be?You can develop a strong marketing foundation by: Defining your product or service: How is your product or servic
Use the fundamental premise of public relations to produce external stakeholder behavior change – the kind that leads directly to achieving your managerial objectives. Usually, that outside behavior change can be created in the financial, marketing, crisis resolution, reputation management and other sectors of the public relations discipline.
Thus, you do something positive about the behaviors of those outside audiences that MOST affect your organization. And you do so by persuading those important external folks to your way of thinking, then move them to take actions that help your department, division or subsidiary succeed.
The reality is, your public relations effort must involve more than press releases, brochures and special events if you expect to get your money’s worth.
And that’s what the fundamental premise of public relations really says when it points out that people act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and mo
Things may be looking up on the economic horizon, but organizations are still watching their budgets. For many of these companies, high employee turnover is an issue for the HR department, not the finance team.Before an organization implements an employee training program, several considerations must be made. First, companies need to understand the goals for the training program and then outline how the program might achieve those goals.Support from executive staff is also a critical concern, and is only achieved if key leaders are involved from the outset. Executive teams can help select training areas that they consider most important for managers, while managers can do the same for their team members.Organizations should also evaluate the merits of providing rewards and recognition for course completion. Some organizations offer annual management excellence certifications to individuals

To develop and deliver a great Leadership Talk, you must understand that every Talk has three important parts. (1) Audience Needs. (2) Strong Belief. (3) Action.(1) Audience needs: The first step in putting together a Leadership Talk is to understand the needs of your audience. As I explained in Part Two, they cannot be ordered to be your cause leaders. Their commitment is one of free choice. They will not make that choice unless they believe that their being your cause leaders will in some way help solve the problems of their (not your) needs.All needs are problems. All problems are crying out for solutions. When you are helping them with those solutions, you are a long way down the road of motivating them to make the choice to be your cause leaders.When you answer these questions, you have a good idea what their needs are. (1) What is changing for them? (2) Who would they rather ha

I’m sure by now over 80% of the business world has heard many people on and off of the internet talk about promoting their businesses with blogs. Blogs seem to be the magazine of the future. They have pushed themselves up as a leading presence on the internet. For those who once wanted to create a website, but had no interesting content; the blog has made it possible to earn some massive traffic to even the smallest of websites. Blogs are not rinky-dink little sites any longer. If a person blogs daily on a website… their site will become over 365 pages large! (each blog becomes it’s own page….well, with blogging programs like blogger and wordpress). With all that content… and a niche’, traffic is sure to come. Well, not exactly.The whole “build it and they will come” philosophy does NOT apply to the internet any longer. Maybe at the internet’s conception, and during the following 2 years, this may have b
Happily, this kind of public relations approach can deliver results like capital givers or specifying sources looking your way; enhanced activist group relations; expanded feedback channels; new proposals for strategic alliances and joint ventures; community service and sponsorship opportunities; rebounds in showroom visits, membership applications on the rise; not to mention new thoughtleader and special event contacts.
You could easily see improved relations with government agencies and legislative bodies; prospects starting to work with you; customers making repeat purchases; promotional contest overtures, and even stronger relationships with the educational, labor, financial and healthcare communities.
Still, the question remains, who makes the blueprint really work? Will your workers be regular public relations staff? Or people sent to you by a parent entity? Or p
