Moving Forward ----Day 29

Today I'd gotten an email about an ink jet sale on our mall, so I forwarded it to a personal mall member first thing.

I called my T-Day Assistant and friend, C, and asked her how she was and updated her on my head. I shaved it on Friday night and Saturday night. It began growing out quite quickly since then. I let her know it was like a scouring pad and if you put me upside down, you'd surely get all your pots and pans clean! I also asked what her time frame might be on pictures . . . they are locked into her camera . . . and I learned . . . It's quite an ordeal to get them off of it! But, she said she would do her best to get to it.

Today I read a story in a newsletter I receive far too often, and it was about a butterfly and by an unknown author. It was so much like our own SBIY story by one of our writers, Suess, about Lane and the Moth, that I forwarded the newsletter to her for fun.

I made a follow-up call on my contact who was going to read the written presentation. She wasn't in so I left her a VM.

I made other follow-up calls to contacts I have interviewed, but found 2 of them not in, so left VM.

I tried to reach a contact for an interview, but his voice mail box is not set up.

I gave a call to fellow Boot Camper, SandyW, and we talked about how she's doing with the calling system. She reminded me of using a tracking system to see how many clicks you get to your site. I created a f'ree account and began my session of calling for the day. It's called Link Track Info.

My results included:

4 VM
1 connect; do not call
1 connect
1 fax
3 bad numbers
8 emails sent

I also had a bit of extra time to test the system on me with my new emails.

This evening, for coaching call, Jacki was not feeling well, and we were delightfully surprised by our Chief Operations Officer, Jean Lachowicz, as host of our show.

I asked Jean to give us her best marketing tip after her experience of being involved in the NPO world for years, being on the Boot Camp team, being the Together We Can Change The World Day Director, and most recently taking the helm as COO. She offered, that from her perspective, the best way we can all move forward in our marketing is to employ the use of social networks, such as Face Book. It was a fun and informative call.

I sent an email to a team member about the WC Upgrade offer.

I created and sent a F/U email to the contact that I couldn't reach after our interview yesterday.

I sent an email to Jean giving her Kudos on the coaching call ;-). Thanks, Jean!

I listened to a Blog Talk Radio show hosted by No Out There that featured an interview with Bruce Lipton while multi-tasking, blog posting, etc. It was a fascinating show, and my first time to post to the chat line, have comments given back to me by other listeners and the host of the show, and to connect with a person across the country that also does Reconnective Healing work.

I also learned about a medium called UStream.tv.

At the end of the radio show, I asked to be added as a friend to the host of the show and the woman who did RH.

For a bit of leisure reading after a hot bath, I tuned into a book I purchased a few weeks ago with our Barnes and Noble Gift Card on our Mall--- Twitter Power by Joel Comm. I admit, it's a whole new frontier out there in social networking lands . . .

Enjoy.
