2009 – The Year To Risk
- Each January, we suggest a theme on which to focus your business activities for the coming months. This year’s theme is “the year to risk.”
- During 2009, we urge you to take risks and do things differently. Risk introducing a new service or product. Risk trying new online marketing efforts, such as those within the arena of social media. Risk changing your Web site to something that captivates users.
- Risk trying new offline sales and marketing efforts such as networking or speaking – efforts that improve your image as a leader and an authority in your business category.
All the World’s a Twitter. Claim Your Twitter ID Before It’s Taken
- The popularity of Twitter as a social media platform continues to zoom. Up to 10,000 people join Twitter each day, and more companies are jumping on the bandwagon, using Twitter as a micro-blogging conversational tool to “talk” to their customers.
- We urge you to claim your Twitter ID, whether you decide to participate in Twitter or not. A Twitter ID is like a URL. It’s part of your personal brand. Once someone else takes it, you’ve lost it forever.
- Remember when you couldn’t get that domain name for your Web site because someone beat you to the punch? It’s the same situation with Twitter.

New Year’s Top Ten Lists: Why Your Company Should Write One
- Inundated with top ten lists? There’s a reason that people are fascinated with lists. They’re easy to read, easy to remember and easy to talk about. Some lists are ridiculous, some are humorous and some are factual.
- Lists play an important role in your company’s marketing efforts by educating people, in an easy format, about the value of your product. Does your company have a list of the top ten reasons your product or service differs from your competitors’ or the top ten characteristics that set your company apart?
- Having a top ten list gives you and your staff the ability to easily verbalize how your company stands out from the others, especially if you’re in a business sector that’s full of similarity.
The 60-Second Close: How to Get Better Results
- You need to think and act differently. Blending and similarity aren’t going to get you where you need to be during this economy.
