Actual for You - How About MANAGING Your Own PR?
Your brand identity communicates a promise from your company to your customer. Your brand identity consists of your logo, business card, letterhead, website and all other marketing and advertising collateral. When a customer looks at your brand identity, what do they see? What is their perception of your company?You may run your business from your dining room table, be a company of 1 or only work your business part time. Whatever the scenario, your brand identity is still important. When a client looks at your business card or your website, they should never be able to tell or even get the perception that you work from home. What should stand out for them is how professional, trustworthy and stable you look as a compan
In previous articles, I've shared with you the value and importance of qualifying every lead you receive. Ideally, you'll have a lead generation system that helps you do this, but how exactly do you qualify leads?How you qualify leads is critical to lead quality. In my coaching programs, I share literally hundreds of ways to qualify business-to-business leads, too many to list here, but at least start by...Creating a profile of buyers -- You want to attract buyers not inquirers, those individuals who really purchase your solutions. Focus on these people first, because the key objective of lead generation is to start the selling process.Remember, it's a selling process -- In lead generation, a
It’s quite another matter, however, when that senior manager, with the best interests of his or her own department or unit in mind, actually overlooks the reality that people act on their own perception of the facts, leading to predictable behaviors about which something can be done on his or her behalf. Then compounds the error by failing to insist that the PR people make a special effort to create, change or reinforce the perceptions of those external audiences whose follow-on behaviors reall
You may have read the book Good to Great, by Jim Collins. In his book he explains how many companies thought being good is… well, “good enough.” In these times of constant change and global competition, it is important to always look for improvement --especially when it comes to safety.Who wants to settle for “good enough” safety? In most cases, good means the company is willing to settle for an injury. “Good enough” safety means setting safety goals based on lagging indicators. (An example is to reduce lost time injuries by 10%.) Great safety means setting a rigorous goal of zero injuries. According to Collins, you want to be rigorous and not ruthless when growing your company. This same concept should also apply to s

1. Ask Around. Find out from friends and colleagues who they use and if they would recommend them. If the designer did a good job, they will be more than happy to pass on their details. 2. Collect Examples. Make a collection of designs you like/don’t like, and give reasons for your choices, this will help you later. Find out who produced the work. Most designers will credit their work if it is on a flyer, poster or website for instance. If you love the look of a company’s brochure, try phoning them and asking who the design company was. I doubt they will mind you phoning, as it’s to praise their good judgement! 3. Search Online. Search for designers by region, speciality and exp
When’s the last time you went fishing? Think back to that day. What did you use to fish? A pole, fishing line, bait, maybe a sinker and a bobber. Oh yeah…and a hook.You wouldn’t go fishing without the hook, would you? The hook is probably the most important part of the fishing process.The same is true in your advertising. If you want to be successful in advertising you have to resign your position as general manager of the universe and realize that your ad is not a personal soap box to speak your mind, hype accolades, regurgitate philosophies, spout jargon and blab about anything else.The people who see your ad really don’t care about you, your personal agenda or that you’ve spent good money to talk to t
Metal detectors can be employed for a variety of applications in security, humanitarian, and industrial sectors. Metal detectors ratings are helpful for newcomers to choose metal detectors that are apt for them. Generally, metal detectors are rated by cost effectiveness, features, functions and usability.Different types of metal detectors are available. Typical metal detectors come with less features and buttons, but some are more complicated. If a customer wishes to choose metal detectors for extended use, it is better to select those with electronic features. The price of metal detectors may vary, based on features and functions. Aside from the normal rates of a detector, the customer must also spend on headphones, b
That’s a bit of too bad because those two, core, public relations functions require hands-on managerial cooperation throughout the organization if it’s to get its money’s worth. The two functions deserve first-class treatment because they help each manager target the kind of stakeholder behavior change that leads directly to achieving his or her objectives.
Pretty important stuff!
