Is video marketing relevant for small businesses?
“I think it generally is… I think there are a lot of different ways small businesses can be using video.”
How can video content add to your existing digital marketing efforts?
“video can slot into so many different spaces. And its something you can use as advertising or as outreach content…”
Can you share with me your most successful or favorite networking story/experience that you’ve had? How was the connection made? What was the outcome of the connection?
“one of my favorite ways of going about networking for myself is going through groups and meetup organizations and that kind of thing. And you know in that context I’ve been able to meet a lot of people…”
How do you stay in front or best nurture your network community?
“I try to make sure that the individual outreach is happening…”
What advice would you offer to the business professional who is looking to grow their network?
“look at groups you can get involved with or events you can get involved with. Don’t just be focused on trying to get as many possible connections…”
Digital networking or traditional networking?
“Personally, I find more value in traditional networking. Because it does allow for that greater depth of a relationship.”
If you could go back 20 years, what would you tell yourself to do more or less of regarding your career?
“…tending more towards two relationships, both professionally and socially…to be focused on building quality relationships… and seeing more of a unity between them, that it’s not this is your social life, and this is your professional life.”
We’ve all heard of the 6 degrees of separation… Now, who would be the one person you’d love to connect with and do you think you could do it within the 6th degree?
“I think one-person I’d like to connect with is Andrew Davis. He’s actually someone I’ve met once before, he’s a writer and a content marketer. And listening to his talk and reading his book was one of the things that got me thinking about video and video marketing, in the way that I approach it now.”
What book are you reading right now?
“something I’ve noticed for myself is I spend a lot of time reading books about business or sales or these things or reading white papers or reading blog posts. And not necessarily nourishing the other side, the creative you know the personal stuff. And so, for this year I’ve really been making an effort to get back into reading fiction and reading some other things. So, I’ve just finished reading the Expanse series…”
Any final words of advice for our listeners?
“in your networking whether you’re doing it digitally with more of a broadcast approach or whether you’re doing a lot of traditional networking. Making sure that you’re getting back the energy and value that you’re putting these things out for.”
