Event Description

NOTE: After our 1st attempt at this I want to test out a different format so I know how to proceed in 2013.

Listen to the 1st episode to hear how it sounds - I was really impressed with this group of Insiders.

Here is how the show works this time...

The 1st 10* Insiders who call in (no guest list) will have up to 5 minutes to share information about themselves, their business and how their ideal client contacts them. If we have time I'll continue to take callers.

Afterwards interviewees will be able to download the show's audio file and use it on their website, FB page or other net places to help increase their viability and reach.

We will also be promoting these segments on all the Inside Networks and the other Insider related internet properties we own.

I'm going to ask you 1 big question to start...

"Hello GUEST, tell me a little about yourself, your business, why you decided to get into this business, who is your ideal client/customer and whats the best way for someone to contact you*?"

and then... I'm going to let you go on a 5 minute business rant.

If we need to fill in time I'll ask a question about something you said or that comes to my mind.

The goal here is to have less me and more you - you've got 5 minutes.

Now, if we have someone call in who is not an Insider or not a local business person - we'll give them 30 seconds :]

The show call-in number and link is above.

*since this show will be for 90 minutes I really think we'll be able to get more than 10 Insiders in.

------------- Stats --------------

Just wanted to share some of the "Why" I'm doing this. It's because over time people DO listen to the shows - I don't know how long they listen but you can see that over 13k people came to the shows page and 3500 at least clicked to listen.

With increased effort, attention and quality (and a little help from our friends) these numbers will go up quickly.

Comment by Fred T. Gruber Jr. on January 9, 2013 at 5:23pm: Thank you for having me on.

Comment by Robin Thomas on January 9, 2013 at 2:42pm: My "will attend" was more like I did attend. Tried to call in, but although BlogTalk said I was in the cue, Pat didn't see it. Wonder if this was a BlogTalk glitch...

Comment by Gaynor Fries, 919 Director on January 9, 2013 at 1:09pm: Great job today, Pat. Thank you for doing this.

Comment by Pat Howlett on January 9, 2013 at 1:01pm: I want to thank Olga, Fred, Nancy, Martin and Gaynor for helping keep me from having to ramble :] - they were great and I learned a couple things about each.

I did sneak in some info on creating your "Positioning Statement" and so I look forward to listening to this episode myself later this evening to see how that turned out.

Comment by Pat Howlett on January 9, 2013 at 11:58am: Live in 2 minutes...

Comment by Pat Howlett on January 9, 2013 at 7:12am: Gota share that I think todays segment is going to be really interesting.

The more I think about NOT knowing anything about who might call, without having any info going in - the more I like it :]

Comment by Fred T. Gruber Jr. on January 8, 2013 at 11:48am: Hopefully I will get on. I missed the first one.

Comment by Jeff Wuchich on January 8, 2013 at 11:32am: Pat, I will call in and hope to be one of those who get to speak :) Thanks so much!

Comment by Pat Howlett on January 8, 2013 at 11:20am: @Julie - you did Great!! - I was very proud of everyone and think each help set the tone for future episodes - I'll be posting some information on how we're going to promote these in the forums soon.

Hope you and others can listen in from time to time - I really think that the success of this will be helping folks get comfortable with the interview opportunity and to get to know and relate to others like us.
