Anne Salisbury and Greg Meyerhoff Take Steps to Broadcast Their Brilliance to Welcome Wonderful Results

It’s so rewarding to hear from happy clients who are proudly broadcasting their brilliance to welcome wonderful results in their businesses.

Here is what Anne Salisbury and Greg Meyerhoff say.

We had no idea how truly boring our bios were until Nancy Juetten showed us the light. Through her  Broadcast Your Brilliance Webinar Series, we scrapped our long list of credentials and instead highlighted the appealing results that clients crave.  In the beginning, this task was daunting. Since 95% of our business came from referrals, we had not taken the time to define our ideal client. Also, we had written our marketing material for anyone who wanted relationship coaching, intuitive business consulting, psychic readings, pet psychic readings, transpersonal hypnotherapy, intuitive feng shui, intuition trainings, and speeches on decision making… Basically, we were describing so many services that people couldn’t quickly grasp how we could turn their lives around.  Now, we focus on the results that our clients want to achieve. For example, here is an piece from Anne’s new bio that Nancy helped us write:

Anne Salisbury taps into her psychic powers to gain answers and shows clients how to see their own answers through her time-tested process of hypnotherapy. Her decades of experience in intuitive development pay off for her clients in many ways. She takes clients from: 

• Confusion to clarity
• Upset to understanding
• Discord to direction
• Frustration to feeling good

Beyond this improvement in our bios, we also changed the way in which we present ourselves in conversations. Within a couple of weeks, by talking about results instead of simply describing our processes, we were immediately invited for interviews on a couple of internet radio programs.  As you can tell, we highly recommend Nancy and the courses she offers. She is impeccable, has tremendous integrity and makes sure that everyone in her class is well served.

Anne Salisbury, Ph.D., MBA, and Greg Meyerhoff help people find welcomed solutions to challenging situations so that they can walk their paths with confidence, ease and joy at work and at home. Visit them at www.GoIntuition.com.

If you’d like to tune in to the April 23 free webinar to guide listeners to say bye-bye to their boring bios, join us.  Here is the link to register.

Publicity Novice Earns Press Like a Pro and Spills the Beans about How Much Time She Invests to Be a Media Maven

Elizabeth Venturini is among the most focused, tenacious do-it-yourself publicists I have ever met.  She is SERIOUS about getting known for her expertise, and the media placements just keep coming, one right after the other.  She has earned 18 placements in just a couple of months for her expertise as a college placement strategist.  And, a press release she created for her husband’s Mona Lisa Code project earned over 191,000 placements around the world!

I asked her a few questions recently to find out how much time she is putting forth to get known and the specifics around what she is doing to make the noise.  Read on for the details to inform your own journey.

Question: Are you primarily responding to media queries, or are you initiating contact with the media on your “wish list” of best places to show up?

I am primarily responding to inquiries from HARO and Reporter Connection. I started responding to their inquiries last November of 2011. I also have a ‘wish list’ of parent publications and local newspapers that I follow and send information when I think it is appropriate.

Question: Are you getting better with a sound bite each time?

Yes I am. Because I created my Rock Star Press Kit, I have stock information of sound bites that I can modify very quickly depending on the story requirements. I am usually able to respond to the requests of reporters within an hour.

Question: And more confident?

Yes. Again, because I created all of the key components, photo, taglines, bylines, 50, 100, word bios, and website listing.  I have all of my printed articles in PDF format to send so the media can read what has already been written about me. I can give a reporter anything s/he needs without me being “under the gun” to quickly produce new documents.

Question: Are the media calling you yet?

To date the media has not personally searched me out for immediate quotes. However I have spoken with the media during scheduled interviews. When they speak with me directly I ask to have the questions ahead of time so I can think about the answers. Sometimes I just write the answers to their questions and send them back to the reporter/writer. This saves them a lot of time having to write the story and they use my copy as is without too much editing. I am doing my best to develop relationships with everyone in the media who uses my information. If they use my info I send each one of them a thank-you email and always state how it would be my pleasure to add input to any future stories for their readers.

Question:  Have you noticed anything in terms of measurement of results? For example, are more people visiting your website, asking for consultations, or hiring your services than before you made the decision to get known?

By using the bio information I learned in your class I gained one new client. I reworked my bio so it read as if I were a real person who parents would want to call to help them with their children. I notice that when I respond to media inquiries the writers/editors always check my website and LinkedIn account.

Question: What keywords do people search to find someone like you? I searched for college career strategist, and your name came up #2, #4, and #5 on page one of Google.

The key words I use are admissions, college admissions, college counseling, career strategist, career management, Strong, Strong Interest Inventory Assessment.

Question: How much time do you spend each week on getting known? Is it worth it?

I check HAROs and Reporter Connection three times a day.  Some days there are many requests for input on education or careers and other days there may be no requests. I submit my responses to meet the writers’ deadline.    I do my best to create a head turning headline so my response will stand out among all the responses that are submitted. To date I have sent out 46 HAROs and Reporter Connections. I have been published 18 times to date.   The time spent for me to work on getting known is worth it because I am building my credibility among parents as a thought leader in the subject of college and careers for their college-bound hopefuls.

“Google”  college career strategist, and Elizabeth Venturini’s name comes up as of today in the #1 ranked position, and she did this one media placement at a time.

Elizabeth is a graduate of the Broadcast Your Brilliance Webinar Series, and she is certainly applying the lessons she learned about preparing and sharing her best story to her expert advantage.

If getting known for your expertise is a high priority, start first by giving your bio a client-attracting makeover.   Join me for a free webinar I’ll be teaching on Tuesday, April 24 at 10 a.m. to show you how.  Here is the link to register.

From a List of 185 to Thousands — It’s Possible, Even When Just Starting Out

Your wealth resides in your list, so say the internet experts who know this to be true.  This I do not doubt.  And, I most definitely can relate to those who are earlier along their path to success who haven’t yet figured out how to set up an opt-in page, don’t know why they should, and feel confused about what to offer as a free gift besides.

For the longest time, my company was a fee-for-service public relations agency serving quality corporate clients with great stories to tell.   My business grew mostly by word of mouth referral.  And the projects I was invited to contribute to had significant budgets and scopes over time to keep me in billable hours indefinitely.   If I needed a new client, I would mention it to one already in the house, and a new client would soon appear.

Then, the marketplace changed.  The economy took a turn.  The media changed.  And I found myself in the middle of a major business reinvention that caused me to shift my focus away from the corporate clients I used to serve and apply my focus toward authors, speakers, coaches, and those on a mission to make their own marketplace magic under their “solopreneur” power.    All at once, the need to establish and grow a new list of fans, followers, advocates, and colleagues took on great importance.   My livelihood depended on it.

And, when I came to this realization, I had only 185 names on my list.   That is a humble place to start.  Today, the size of my list is thousands better, the people who are on the list are the people I am here to serve, and my business is stronger than ever.

And, because I’ve learned from those internet experts, I grew my list by 3000 during the month of January this year, and things just continue to grow from there.

If you want to learn best practices for growing your list, expert help is one Irresistible List Building Summit away.   You can learn from industry greats including Lisa Sasevich, Robert Allen, Christine Kloser, Vrinda Normand, and many others from the convenience of your laptop computer.    And, I am proud to be among the experts who will be sharing tips.  My voice has particular value for those who are feeling “less than” because their lists may not be as mighty as the big players.   I have “been there, done that, got the t-shirt” AND I learned to be a valued joint venture partner to power players anyway.  You can, too.

It all starts tomorrow and runs through April 6, 2012.   Register today so you can sit at the feet of the best list building wisdom assembled for 2012 and apply best practices to grow yours.   It’s free to listen.  It’s priceless to benefit.
