Is there a breakthrough idea right under your nose? An idea so good it could change everything for you and catapult both your career and income to a whole new level? Listen to this audio on how one author/speaker found his big idea.
Here's another PR don't from a journalist friend of mine. Researching a story for a major magazine, she called a store and asked to speak to the owner. The person who answered told the journalist that the owner was out of the store. The journalist asked to leave a message. After a big sigh, the employee said, "Can you just call back tomorrow?" Not surprisingly, the journalist never called that store again. Think about that. Who answers your phone? Have you told them that if a journalist calls, they should not only take a message, but make sure that they get that message to you immediately? If you haven't told your employees how to handle media calls, do so today.
Weather is getting chilly here in Philly.
