I got more calls yesterday than I have in weeks and from real
people too. Holiday weeks are when smart marketing takes place.
Chances are you will get to talk to someone for the following
reasons: <\/p>\n
People are in a good mood – Its the holidays; <\/p>\n
People are in their offices instead of traveling; <\/p>\n
People are not engaged in serious work because its the holidays; <\/p>\n
People feel more giving of their time and resources. <\/p>\n
So who took the time and called me this week?
Three new clients who wanted to expand their personal
brands.
4 people who read my latest article and wanted to know more.
Two companies who wanted to hire me as an expert.
And 'piece de resistance' …
An interview as an expert for the Faith Popcorn BrainReserve <\/p>\n
Now this is not ego talking its a demonstration of a carefully
orchestrated plan. It was by no means my first article and I get considerable response every week. This week's issue "Does your packaging, UMM, Smell?" brought considerable comment both pro and con. But the point is that it brought commentary. Never consider a negative response as a bad thing. People read you \/ heard you and the key thing here is listened to
what you had to say. Most important of all took the time to write a comment. Its one of the best ways to get a dialogue going with someone. <\/p>\n
I have been building my expertise credentials for a while and get tons of inquires every week and I try to respond to each one
personally thanking them for the request. But I will have to admit it was very flattering to be asked to serve on the Popcorn BrainReserve. Best of all to get paid to do it too. <\/p>\n
None of this happened overnight. As I have been explaining for
months, you have to work at it. Every week add something to your
portfolio of branding. Whether its a press release, setting up
your personal website, becoming a speaker or simply creating your own blog, you are moving forward and the momentum will grow. <\/p>\n
GOOGLE Women in Packaging or even me, JoAnn Hines and so what you come up with. This could be you too if you work at it. <\/p>\n
So what if its a holiday who have you called this week? <\/p>\n
