15:01:25 From Kelly Lynch : Yep! 15:01:54 From Kelly Lynch : Newton NJ — VERY far from the turnpike, BTW! 15:02:09 From Jennifer Dyer : Hey, Susan! 15:02:15 From Kelle : Hi there! 15:02:24 From pameladeloatch : From Washington, DC! 15:02:24 From Jennifer Dyer : Grew up in Baltimore, MD. 15:03:57 From pameladeloatch : Asked for more business from 2 clients —and got it! 15:04:27 From Kelly Lynch : Kicked off a new government project on which I’m a subcontractor (I wrote the proposal and we got the biz) 15:04:51 From Kelle : On track to having the biggest monthly dollar amount I've ever made! 15:05:10 From pameladeloatch : WTG Kelle! 15:05:16 From Jennifer Dyer : W I completed the first draft of a short report. Happy to have completed it, but even happier that I didn't ruin my weekend working on it. And submitted my biggest proposal ever for a client's budget plan for next year. Fingers crossed that they OK the projects. 15:05:23 From Kelly Lynch : Congrats Kelle!! 15:05:26 From Kelle : Thanks, Pam! 15:05:37 From Kelle : Thanks, Kelly 15:05:42 From Kelly Lynch : Good luck Jennifer! 15:06:20 From Jennifer Dyer : Thanks, Kelly and Susan! :) 15:08:51 From Kelly Lynch : I Trying to get back on track with weekly Warm Email Prospecting 15:09:16 From Jennifer Dyer : I I'm working on my marketing plan. I've had so many false starts. I'm planning to focus on things that I'm (relatively!) comfortable with and that have been successful in the past, like tapping my network. 15:09:19 From Kelly Lynch : No, that might have been the other Kelle 15:11:58 From Kelle : Oh, sorry. I should have typed Pamela. My apologies for shortening your name. 15:13:54 From pameladeloatch : Kelle— no worries! :-) 15:22:45 From pameladeloatch : That makes sense— to look at the companies more likely to survive than looking at the specialty. Thanks! 15:30:25 From Kelle : Asking VPs, directors to connect on LinkedIn was outside of my comfort zone, but they've responded rather well! I need to think about how to push myself in a new way. 15:30:34 From Melinda : I recently tried sending an email to people I met at a past event re: upcoming event for same organization: like Ed's 9-word followup. Hi Sarah, We met at the x luncheon last month: are you going to the x Expo next week? 50% responses. 15:31:28 From Anne : Q. Follow up on linked in question. When viewing their profiles should I be “visible” or not. 15:32:19 From pameladeloatch : Asked a client if I could attend a conference they were hosting in my city, so I could learn more about the business. They said yes and also gave me a writing assignment based on the conference event. 15:32:21 From Kelly Lynch : I signed up for a regional conference which will require a day full of networking (not my favorite thing); hoping to meet potential clients or at least make some interesting connections. 15:32:22 From Melinda : The 50% responses were not attending, but I then a few days later, mentioned something I learned or saw in a subsequent follow up; nurturing. 15:32:25 From irene : I tried Ed’s email conversation starter idea and used it to contact my network. 15:33:43 From irene : I'm pretty sure you can go into settings and turn off your visibility? 15:36:48 From pameladeloatch : Wow— that was a creeper indeed. But rare, I think. I’ve been on LI for years and have not had a problem. 15:38:16 From Kelly Lynch : Thanks Susan! 15:39:41 From Sharon in So. FL to Ed Gandia(Privately) : Q: I was in PR and did lots of freelance writing while working for an “anchor” client – then decided I didn’t want to pitch media anymore as a “one person agency” so left that client and am re-starting as freelance writing only, mostly for energy, renewable companies, etc. I haven’t finished my new website yet – and feel like I HAVE to do that rather than relying on my LinkedIn site – where I have a samples. Do you agree? I’m doing it myself and it is taking a long time. 15:40:24 From Kelly Lynch : But Susan, have you considered that perhaps you ARE the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen? ;-) 15:42:14 From Sharon in So. FL to Ed Gandia(Privately) : I'm using WordPress - with Elementor -supposed to make it easier. 15:43:37 From Sharon in So. FL to Ed Gandia(Privately) : I get some nibbles - one for a white paper - but no actual biz - I was in Energy/Utilities for 20+ years. 15:43:55 From Sharon in So. FL : @Susan - thanks much! 15:44:14 From Sharon in So. FL : I do - I have 12,00 + 15:44:26 From pameladeloatch : Q: If I want to start establishing myself as an expert, what do you think about writing articles/blog posts in LinkedIn related to the HR issues I cover, I.e. observations, trends. 15:47:36 From Sharon in So. FL : I don't have a blog but was posting before and am writing more to publish soon. I am only going after companies that are fairly large and can afford me - thanks! 15:48:18 From Kelly Lynch : I just went on LinkedIn and changed my viewing setting from private to public. Thank you for the suggestion! 15:48:52 From Sharon in So. FL : That's a great Idea about posting web first and then 2 days later for L-I 15:49:14 From pameladeloatch : Thank you! 15:50:50 From Sharon in So. FL : Thanks sounds right SEO-wise from what I know (even w/ no website yet!) 15:51:07 From deb : Q: If I still don’t have a blog how do you recommend getting articles up on my site first before LinkedIn. Right now I’m just posting to LI. 15:51:59 From Anne : V = LinkedIn information. Thank you. 15:52:17 From Donna Moriarty : Hi, it's Donna! I just arrived on the webinar. I got stuck in traffic... :-( Where would I go to find out more about SEO? Even as much as those who say they don't know much. I know even less! 15:52:38 From Sharon in So. FL : V = All good to hear what others are doing and get all the info plus chance to ask Q - thanks! 15:52:45 From deb : Ok great! 15:53:09 From Kelle : V: posting articles on LinkedIn 15:53:47 From pameladeloatch : Susan—do you use a Facebook Page for business, or mostly LI and your website? I started with all of them, but really never use FB b/c I don’t think that’s where my potential clients are. Wondering if that thought process is accurate. 15:53:56 From Donna Moriarty : Great. Thanks, Susan! 15:55:54 From deb : A few weeks ago you guys had an online session on Scrivener. I know use it a lot. It is SOOO helpful to have the research and other info all in one place. It has saved me a lot of time. Many Thanks! 15:56:25 From deb : Q: Do you post to Medium? And do you say you were using Snapchat ? 15:56:42 From pameladeloatch : Thank you for all the great information especially about LInkedIn. 15:57:36 From deb : What are your thoughts on FB with B2B? 15:58:16 From Donna Moriarty : A: Focus more energy on LI prospecting and nurturing. 15:58:38 From deb : Ahhh that’s good to know. I’m sticking with LinkedIn for now. 15:59:06 From Sharon in So. FL : A= Get website finished - keep posting on LinkedIn 15:59:38 From pameladeloatch : A: 1) Create content calendar for LI posts 15:59:42 From Kelle : A: Going back into the training portal and looking at what module to tackle next, maybe the updated LinkedIn module. 16:00:09 From pameladeloatch : how short? 16:00:25 From pameladeloatch : Will do! 16:00:35 From Kelly Lynch : A: I’ll review the networking for introverts course and also will dive into those on LinkedIn who have viewed me, now that I’m making myself public. 16:01:32 From pameladeloatch : thank you! 16:01:44 From deb : THanks Susan! 16:01:53 From Anne : thank you 16:01:55 From Sharon in So.
