September . . . Happy Labor Day |
|
I hope you have Monday off. And, if not, I hope you're getting time and a half!
I'm off to a relaxing BBQ this afternoon.
Just a super-quick newsletter this week.
:-)
I feel like I'm stuck between worlds - and I'm okay with that. One world is the stuck-at-home pandemic reality. The other is the world of travel that I miss so much.
Luckily, I'm tip-toeing back out in the world.
Next week I am hopping up to Portland, OR for a family gathering. Then I'm off to Providence, RI for the SMB Roadshow.
If you're anywhere near Providence, I would LOVE to have you join us. I've put together a great, new 4-hour workshop. Details below.

Super-Charge Your Social Media Marketing
Course 5W25
Taught By: Karl W. Palachuk
Five Tuesdays
- All classes start a 9:00 AM Pacific
You're guaranteed to learn something that will make or save you the price of admission!
This course is designed to help you "put it all together" and complete your social media strategy with the most powerful tools at your disposal. While most people approach Twitter, blogging, and podcasting as basic, mundane marketing tools, they are second only to Your Newsletter in positioning yourself as an expert in your field. We'll look at all of these.
This course shows you how to maximize these tools and wrap them into an overall strategy for marketing and sales. But the real juicy goodness is a strategy for creating a magnifying effect across all your marketing. No matter which tools you focus on in this series, the "Super-Charge" takes place with a combination of automated and manual rebroadcast mechanisms. We provide you a detailed process for creating this echo effect. In fact, we literally give you the checklist to make it happen.
Most small businesses "use" social media, but don't really have a strategy for using social media effectively. That strategy starts with understanding the strengths and weaknesses of various platforms. And it culminates with a unified approach to branding and how your company presents itself across a variety of platforms.
This course is taught by Karl W. Palachuk, a social media influencer who "touches" over one million people per month. Karl has been using these social media for more than ten years, and has demonstrated mastery across all of the major social media that small businesses need to be successful.

Stephanie Chandler was great on the SBT Roundtable |
Luckily - it's recorded. Stephanie always has amazing energy and ideas. If you missed it, don't worry - the recording and transcript will be posted this week.
In the meantime, I want to make sure all members grab a great new resource, posted over on the Cheeky Sales Coach site - www.cheekysalescoach.com. |
Members can access the "premium content" on that site at no additional charge. Grab the discount code here. Then register on the CSC site and click on the Premium Content button.
The latest premium content is described in the latest video: A model marketing budget. And not just a boring, regular budget.
This one focuses on the two things you need to keep track of: Money and Time. In the modern era, there are many things you can do yourself. But you have to balance the savings of money with the spending of time. The combination will make your marketing successful!

I stumbled on this . . .
We had a stamp made and used it on our employee pay envelopes.
Of course everyone had direct deposit. But they still got a pay stub with a reminder about who really pays the bills.
