Virtual happy hour, Thursday, April 30 at 5 pm
My Pinnacle Network will host its first ever virtual happy hour on Thursday, April 30, from 5 to 7pm. Quite obviously, this event will be BYOB—bring your own beverage.
In addition to a beverage, we ask you bring a story. Specifically:
• What’s the most outside-the-box thing you’ve done for your business during the shutdown?
Those who don’t come with an answer will have to drink.
Deal?
Who’s in?
The call info is as follows: https://zoom.us/j/2385118922 or call in at 312-626-6799. Feel free to invite other B2B professionals and small business owners who might be interested in My Pinnacle Network.
A campaign of gratitude
The current situation has negatively impacted many small businesses. As a sign of support, an unofficial campaign has taken place where small business owners encourage others to leave a positive Google review for their fellow small business owners. My Pinnacle Network supports this effort and includes links to each member’s Google My Business page in the summary e-mail sent after every meeting.
But did you know you can leave a Google review for just about any of the heroes we hear about on a nightly, really hourly, basis?
True.
You can leave a review for a hospital, medical practice, police or fire department (see image above).
In addition to giving up to five stars, you can leave a comment and express your gratitude.
It may not seem like much. But if you’re not in a position to help beyond staying in your home, it is something you can do. And judging by some of the Google My Business pages this writer has seen, they could use some positive feedback as many of these first responders only get negative reviews during ordinary times. Think about that one, folks.
So, how do you find a Google My Business page for first responders and medical professionals? Same as with a small business. Google it. You will see the Google My Business page on the right hand side of the screen (again, see the graphic above).
What do you bring to a video one-on-one?
Actually, it shouldn’t be that much different than a regular one-on-one. You just need to bring those documents electronically.
What could some of those documents be? Down below we list some of those documents with links to examples. Those examples are what PR Works President Steve Dubin brings to his one-on-ones. Those include:
- Ideal Client Profile
- What to Listen For sheet
- Company Product or Services (e.g. PR Works Podcast offering).
For more on what to bring to a virtual one-on-one, list to this week’s podcast on our YouTube channel.
Who’s your ideal client?
This is something that’s not only important for you to know.
It’s also extremely beneficial to people in your networking group and contact
sphere. That’s why we recommend developing a one-page sheet outlining your ideal
client.
This one pager can contain as little or as much detail as you desire. An Ideal Client profile for our sister company, PR Works can be downloaded by clicking here. Feel free to copy and paste to create your own Ideal Client profile.
