JoeNetworks - Notes - 1/28/09

Hey Joe,

I cannot imagine how the importance of communicating with JoeNetworks members has escaped me thus far. Here I am telling you to communicate more often and I have not been listening to myself talk. Silly me.

Notes from the morning meeting - 1/28/09.


• This morning we'd done some homework on behalf of Greg Kane. 414-856-9004 - greg@kwsins.com He's looking at getting a makeover on his website. We helped him come up with some questions to ask the new provider. The biggie was on becoming an expert - a little how and why on producing and delivering more informational tips to his insurance customers.

• Bryan Gnadt of Cablecom won the breakfast kitty this morning. Thanks to everyone and ten bucks to Bryan. We might be able to help him with his presentation. However, there's not much we can do about his print or web material as those are corporate decisions. We reinforced an idea he's had that it might be worthwhile to explore Linkedin.com and Meetup.com

BTW, Bryan also sends a hello to Bob Streigel. Hello Bob.

• Stan shared his weekly marketing tip with us this morning. "Enthusiasm sells - not product knowledge."

• Burt's hand-out for the morning was titled The Elevator Speech - a How-To Guide for Anyone. Thank you, Burt. Read more here - http://imagimarketing.com/biztips/Elevatorspeech.htm

• Sandy is finding success with her Vision Board workshops and Women's Retreats. Sign up here - http://www.SandyWalden.com

• Pat is looking for appropriate venues for Spanish classes. Specifics to follow as they are available.

• I shared a note from a marketing blogger. "Whether product or service - you're in the media business first."

• I asked for referrals to folks that need their resumés proofed and edited. I also mentioned that the website is now set up to take PayPal payments.
