Tes'monial  I  have  done  BV/LS  work  since  the  late  90s  in  a  niche  firm  and  was  hired  here  to  develop  a  BV/LS  department.  They  had  made  the  tradi7onal  firm  effort,  and  of  course  it  didn't  work.  I  have  had  some  of  the  tradi7onal  firm  hurdles,  but  they  are  coming  around.    My  par7cipa7on  in  this  class  is  both  support  for  my  case  to  them  for  what  needs  to  be  done  and  a  big  push  for  me  out  of  my  comfort  zone.  Thanks  for  all  you  are  doing.

05  –  Working  Other  Social  Media  

The  key  to  working  other  social  media    networks  is  finding  out  which  one    

your  clients  and  ideal  prospects  use.    

Thus,  never  fall  in  love  with  a  network.    

Instead,  fall  in  love  with  the  people  and  work  the  network  that  let’s  you  reach  them!

How  much  of  what  you  haven't  achieved  is  due  to    missed  opportuni2es  or  poorly  execu2ng  tasks?  

 

Compare  your  answers  to  where  you  spend  your  2me.    

You  got  it  …  we’re  all  about  minimizing  poor  execu2on.  While  we  let  opportuni2es  pass  us  by.  

 PBA  is  an  opportunity  you  don’t  want  to  miss!
