Hello Business Achievers!
In the spirit of sharing, helping reverse the recession, and providing sales to those that truly deserve it, I would like to introduce “Testimonial Tuesdays”!
http://snipurl.com/hey43 in the Facebook Group: “Achieve Your Ideal Business Now!”
I think Tuesdays are a great day for us to give a recommendation, testimonial or just kudos for a job well done to anyone we’ve worked with that we feel others could really benefit from.
For my first Testimonial Tuesday post and I want to give props to someone that has saved me hundreds of dollars over the past year, if not more:
I love the professional service and additional coverage she was able to provide at a much lower rate on my home, auto and umbrella insurance. I’ve been very happy with my rep for over a year. Let me know if you want Richele’s contact info to have her give you a great quote! Jason@DistinctiveCoaching.com
Please post your own Testimonials:
http://snipurl.com/hey43
All the best,
Jason
P.S. Here is a Twitter post for you to ReTweet about Testimonial Tuesdays:
“Testimonial Tuesday”! Let the world know about the awesome service & value of other polished professionals! http://snipurl.com/hey43 Pls RT

“Online Communication Tips For — Communicators”
It’s all about image, communication, relationships and style. Especially for us business owners. Remember that people are looking to you and will decide if they want to buy from you, do business with you, or network and help you connect with others.
Richard Laermer provides some very good points here about what you’re posting on Facebook, as well as how you are emailing to your audiece. Everything you communicate reflects on you and your brand.
“… By now, we’ve all received the message that our online reputations and images are as important, if not more important, than their off-the-Web counterparts.
So here’s how to rise from the ground floor to a higher level…”
Read more here:
http://badpitch.blogspot.com/2009/05/online-communication-tips-for.html
Jason’s additional comments:
This is very sound advice!
I would add that if you are writing marketing copy (webpage, newsletter, etc.) think of your audience as they are reading a note from you specifically to them specifically. At times it’s appropriate to write in a “personal” voice. The grammar doesn’t have to be perfect in these instances; it should sound “natural” and even a touch conversational. But it still needs to sound intelligent, respectful and thoughtful.
All the best,
Jason

Very interesting article. I don’t know if I buy every point, but there are some great nuggets here. I love the quote “Burning people out is not a survival strategy.”
So what does this all mean?
Even though this article is aimed at the corporate world, there are obviously huge implications for the small business and entrepreneurial folks. Massive societal growth in networking, collaborating and coaching… some of my favorite pastimes… will lead to better decision-making skill and helping and service attitudes – which also will lead to more viral marketing, affiliate marketing and joint ventures between companies offering their products and services to the same target markets.
For those of us already doing the solopreneur gig, we have a headstart. But we need to keep learning, growing and staying ahead of the curve.
And… Don’t miss tomorrow’s FREE TELECLASS to start this new world process: http://idealprospect.eventbrite.com – better networking, marketing and sales success for eveyone!
“Get Out of the Training Business” – Jay Cross
The dawn of a new age
If you’re looking for a way to weather the economic downturn, the first thing you need to do is realize that it’s a permanent climate change, not a passing storm.
What we are experiencing today is fundamental. The industrial age is in its death throes, making way for the unfolding of the network age…

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day!
I hope everyone is doing something special today, be it big or little, to support Martin Luther King Jr. Day and all that this holiday and Dr. King himself stands for in America’s history and future.
Today I was asked to be a guest speaker at networking lunch in February that looks to be a celebration of diversity and civil rights in its own right. The group will be composed of mostly women entrepreneurs from many races and backgrounds. Under the main topics of networking, marketing and sales, I am looking forward to speaking specifically on how to broaden your network, help others, foster cooperation and collaboration, and be of service to one another. Growing your business and leading a happier, more fulfilling life will just be awesome side effects.
I think it’s going to be a fantastic event! Even though I am doing this for exposure and business reasons, I do feel very good about the group attending. Just knowing that this kind of assembly of a diverse group of people with common goals and aspirations is a cause for celebration, because there was a long time in history when this would not have been the norm, acceptable and in some cases even legal.
I am very thankful and grateful for people of all races, creeds and colors that fought for centuries for civil rights in our country and continue to do so. I am privileged and appreciative that I live and work, both virtually and in person, in communities in which I am able to meet people from different backgrounds with different experiences, preferences, opinions and points of view. I hope that future generations will have even more openness, trust and caring across borders that will lift the nation and the world as we grow together in this new century.
Please share your thoughts, musings, and anything at all on this topic.
And enjoy today’s holiday and tomorrow’s inauguration, and many more todays and tomorrows to come!
All the best,
Jason

From the Facebook Discussion: “Who’s Using Twitter?”
Q: Jason, I have a question about Twitter. How can I use it to draw business to my website?
A: Great question. There are several different ways to use Twitter for business. Here are ten off the top of my head:
1.) Have conversations over Twitter by replying to other postings to build your network and relationships so people get to know you better – Type “@TheirTwitterName” at the beginning of the post to indicate who you are talking to, or click on the reply icon from their original post.
2.) Make announcements about your services, specials, etc.
3.) Provide helpful links to info, articles, blog posts, videos and other resources that are of interest to your target market.
4.) Ask others to “Re-tweet” important messages that you want to be spread “virally”.
5.) Use it synergistically with Facebook, LinkedIn, Ning, Meetup, etc. When you connect to someone on one platform, see if they are on Twitter. The more familiarity they get with you, the faster the relationship is built.
6.) Post questions that you have about anything at all. If they have the answer, someone will generally try to help out.
7.) Announce networking events or ways to facilitate more in-person or virtual interaction.
8.) Give testimonials and recommendations to support your network. I have done this when I had a great customer experience, and others have gotten business from it.
9.) Post some personal stuff once in a while, so people get to know not just your business, but you as well.
10.) Promote BizCoachJason and DistinctiveCoaching.com, because I rock (Just kidding)
I have had people sign up for my E-Series and teleclasses from posts I’ve made, and others have retweeted for me on Twitter.
Just aim to share the love, and it will work well.
All the best,
Jason
