Real Beats Fake Every Time If you've been to any celebrations recently, you may have noticed the explosion of gift bags and gift cards. What happened to the old-fashioned traditional gift with the nice wrapping paper and ribbons and bows? There's something special about receiving and opening a gift that shows some thought from the giver. They not only took more time to consider what would suit you, they also took the time to neatly gift-wrap, complete with ribbons and a well-placed bow. No matter what's inside, it feels special. There is an anticipation as you slowly remove the adornments to discover what's inside, as opposed to fishing around inside a gift bag or sliding your finger across the back of a gift card envelope. |

As the American economy continues to shift from manufacturing products and hardware to providing knowledge-based and virtual services, opportunities for audio marketing abound. The Internet search engine giants like Google and Yahoo, combined with the growing adaptation of social networking utilities like Linked In, Facebook and Twitter, have raised the curtain on Act II of the Information Age. And, since information is rapidly abandoning the print medium for video and audio, it is no wonder that You Tube has become such a prolific forum for sharing ideas, images, entertainment and knowledge. Not too long ago, (pre-You Tube) companies would digitize their marketing presentations and distribute them on mini-discs to prospects.

Originally published in CRM Magazine The Secret to using LinkedIn lies between your keyboard and chair. The more I discuss LinkedIn as a social media tool, the more I’m asked, "How can I use LinkedIn more effectively?" My first response is usually a question: Do you want to find someone, or do you want to be found? The context and goal of your search will dramatically change how you use this tool. Are you looking to hire someone, or are you looking for a job? Do you have a product or service to offer, or are you looking to purchase a product or service for your business? Once you know what you are looking for, then you can decide how to present yourself to the world.
