Want Your Clients to Grow?

Refer Marketing Pros

 

By Rick Rhoads 

 

In the 18 years I've been in PNG/ProVisors (hereafter referred to as ProVisors), I've noticed some patterns among the thousands of acknowledgments I've heard. One of them is this: when marketing types (marketing consultants, PR and advertising people, writers, graphic artists, website developers, videographers, branding specialists, presentation coaches) give thanks, more often than not it's to a member who has hired them rather than to one who has referred them to a client.

You Can't Grow Unless You Show

 

By David Ackert

 

As memorable as you are, you and your fellow 21st century earthlings live in an era when the constant bombardment of information makes it impossible to keep anything "top of mind" for very long. Here's an example: Can you remember at least three of the guests at your last group meeting? How about four? Let's face it, our short-term memory is overcrowded.

She Marketing

 

By Jonathan Fitzgarrald

 

To expose professional women to new ways of marketing themselves, and in an effort to reach out to those women not marketing, ProVisors co-sponsored an event for female attorneys entitled, "Branding Yourself and Marketing Your Practice for Women." 

 

The discussion ranged beyond traditional gender-based issues, such as the familiar "to golf or not golf" debate, to focus more on creative and unique ways women can foster relationships and develop business.

Double Your Business

by Getting a Massage

 

 

By Karen L. Gabler and Mark Jaffe

 

Few people would dispute that getting a massage is good for you, but how many of us take that step to prevent a problem, rather than gambling on whether the problem will actually occur? Along the same lines, how many of your clients take proactive steps to protect their businesses, instead of gambling on potential business and legal risks?

 

Identifying when a perceived business luxury is really a business necessity requires that businesses maximize their external value, without forgetting to protect and enhance their internal value. Mark Jaffe [CAL], a strategic revenue

What Every Board Member

of a Nonprofit Needs to Know

 

By Jennifer Goddard Combs

 

The aphorism "No good deed goes unpunished" has been attributed to Billy Wilder, Andrew Mellon, Oscar Wilde, and Clare Boothe Luce. Regardless of who said it first, we all know its meaning: acts of kindness frequently backfire. Unfortunately, the good deed of serving on the board of a nonprofit organization often proves this sad truth.

 

Before volunteering precious time as a board member of a nonprofit, it would be wise to follow the flight attendant's directive to "secure your oxygen mask first."
