Networking Tips That Actually Work

Networking

Mention the word “networking” and you’re certain to get a reaction from most business professionals. The question is… what kind of reaction? You’ll probably make people either frown in agony or get people excitedly pulling out business cards. Either way, you’re bound to start a conversation around networking, and it’s easy to see why. All those articles on networking tips seem to only add to the confusion! When most people think about networking it seems insincere at best — and selfish at worst. Too many networking tips focus on strategies that come across as pushy, needy, or self-serving — even though the people using them rarely act that way in daily life. This, of course, is the complete opposite of what networking is supposed to be — friendly, useful, and…

Why Your Email Marketing Practices Make Subscribers Run From You

Email Marketing

Does your email marketing make your subscribers love you or loathe you? Are you subscribers responsive, or are they quick to find the unsubscribe button? Social media has not replaced email, or has it? Social media has its place in the inbound marketing funnel, but email marketing can be targeted and specific to people who want your content, want your offer, and are interested in corresponding with you. People that opt-in to your email list are telling you that they want to extend the relationship, they want to go beyond social media and listen to what information you have to offer. When you get an email subscriber, keep them enlightened, entertained, informed, and interested in your content. Do offer something of value when I open your email, value reserved just…

Priorities Are Easier Set Than Followed

Tips and Tools

Are your daily actions in line with your priorities? If I were to ask you what your priorities are in life, what would you say? (It's ok, I'll wait.)

Don't worry, there was a time when my answer to this question was a big fat NO! To be perfectly honest, I’m still a work in progress. You see, we often "say" or "think" our priorities are our families, our health, our growth, etc. However, our daily to-do lists don't usually reflect the priorities we set for ourselves.

So how does this impact your marketing? Social media is part of daily life, and it's especially an integral part of the way we market our businesses today, like it or not. People are online searching for their product…
