Will You Add? - A Sure Fire Credibility Booster... Let Them See Your Name in Print
Whether or not the company you work for offers yearly celebrations, there comes a time in every business when get-togethers arise. Sometimes, the occasion calls for the popping of champagne, while others include a simple spread of cheese and crackers. Depending on the event that needs planning, corporate parties have the potential to become rather entertaining moments that create everlasting memories when organized in the proper manner. Regardless if this is your first time planning a corporate party, there are plenty of tips to follow and things to learn along the w
The disadvantage of pitching directly is that it can be time consuming to build your list and drill through an organization to find your target contact. Many of us don’t like the idea of cold calling which is essentially what you’d be doing, but it is an effective way to get to worthwhile media contacts.
Respond to Queries
Some media professionals send out queries through the wire services to find sources for their articles. This method is clearly passive, but your time will be spent responding to actual opportunities rather than looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.
If you’ve listened to some radio ads lately you may have picked up on something, right as you punched the button to change the station. And that is that most radio spots, and by that I mean about 97%, are boring or just plain annoying... and boring.One problem is that many advertisers rely on the station to write and produce their spots. And who can blame them? The stations usually offer those services for free. And the word “free” is the operative word here as in, “you get what you pay for” free.Most stations make their account executives take on t
We’re all influenced by the media. We may not like that idea, but when a product/service or provider is mentioned in an article or news segment, it puts them in a uniquely credible light. Someone else seems to think their opinion counts, so maybe you should too. One way to differentiate yourself from the competition and build credibility with existing and prospective clients is to get yourself/company mentioned by a credible media source.
Getting you name and message out to the masses can be a challenge, but it’s one worth taking. Essentially, you say or do something newsworthy and make sure the powers that be know about it. There are several ways to make this happen.
Write and Distribute a Press Release
The media won’t know you’ve done something unless you tell them. A properly crafted press release that highlights something newsworthy will get the attention of writers, editors and producers.
Next, you’ll need to either distribute your press release to a media list you create yourself or send it through the wire service like http://www.prweb.com or http://www.prnewswire.com There are several advantages to using a wire service including:
• Time savings – All you do is submit your release to the service and they’ll send it directly to media professionals that subscribe to their service
• Targeting – Most of the wire services allow you to target your distribution regionally and/or by industry segment
• Price – If time is money, you will potentially save yourself hours or research time by distributing your release through a wire service to a list of people that are looking for content and are interested in hearing what you have to say.
Although creating your own distribution list can be time consuming, you’ll be able to target a few select recipients and can follow up via telephone or email to build your relationship.
One final note on press releases…make sure to have your press release properly proofed. A typo or grammatical error tells the reader you’re sloppy and may not be the credible source he wants to talk to.
Call and Pitch
If you want to make sure the media know who you are and the benefits of working with you as a source, you can call and pitch yourself and your concept directly. When you call or send an email, make sure you have a deliverable prepared in case it’s requested. Good deliverables include a resume, a media kit, a link to your web site or a press release.
The advantage of pitching on your own, or hiring someone to do it for you, is that you can begin developing your relationship and building credibility with the contact immediately, you can tailor or adjust your pitch “on the fly” if necessary and can take advantage of opportunities, like speaking at an event or writing your own article, you may not have considered prior to calling.

Everyone is feeling the pinch to the pocketbooks at the pumps these days. What can be done? Should anything be done? In this capitalist society it is not the duty of the government to interfere. However the gas prices are getting out of control. Katrina is over and production has recovered yet the prices increase. Oil companies are recording record profits. Obviously we need an alternative power source. However what is the incentive to a major company to invest in alternatives when oil is so profitable? Protecting the environment despite how obviously import

Frontline service providers are key drivers in great service organizations. But don’t forget the power of the ‘back-end’ to win or lose the race!In every insurance company you’ll find actuaries, policy administrators, IT professionals and clerical support staff. These folks have little contact with external customers, but they can certainly set the mood and the pace for the insurance agents and brokers who work out in front.In a theater you enjoy actors on stage.

As health care costs increase at a faster rate than other products or services, health care providers, in particular hospitals, are under continuous pressure to dramatically improve service, reduce costs, improve patient safety, reduce waiting times, and reduce errors and associated litigation.However, hospitals are not making the necessary improvements in cost, quality, and safety.
