10 Gremlins That Keep You From Finding True Love

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: Washington , DC Monday, October 31, 2022   Halloween is here! For many, it’s a fun holiday where you get to dress up in costume and be your entertaining self! At Halloween parties, people let their hair down and find it easy to engage in conversation with almost anyone and feel like a bit of a break from focusing on finding true love. And when it comes to finding true love, you may notice that your gremlins are very present, even if they’re just in your head. The gremlin of futility. When this gremlin is present, your internal dialog will sound something like this, “It’s nearly impossible to meet someone I’m attracted to, so why bother?” If you’ve been dating for a while and despite all of your efforts, you’re still single, it’s natural to wonder whether it’s all worth it. And this is how the gremlin of futility gets a foothold and can keep you from finding true love. So, watch out for this insidious gremlin because it can dash your ho

The Latest Attempt To Address The Online Data And Privacy Crisis

Commentary From Crisis Management Expert Edward Segal, Bestselling Author of the Award-Winning Book "Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare for and Bounce Back from Disasters, Scandals, and Other Emergencies" (Nicholas Brealey, 2020)       Some crises strike companies quickly, are addressed by corporate executives, and soon fade from the spotlight. Other crises capture the public's attention but are eventually placed on the back burner, unresolved. But they can get moved to the front at any time. Consider the case of the online data and privacy crisis, which made international headlines a year ago when whistleblower Frances Haugen told Congress  that Facebook and Instagram negatively impacted the mental health of teenagers, Not surprisingly, there were several rounds of accusations and finger-pointing  over who was to blame for the crisis, the extent of the  impact of social media  on mental health, and what had or should be done about it. The crisis has been simmering in

A Little Help from My Friends

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI I believe that you keep at  your “calling” and your passion for as long as you’re on top of your game. I think Sinatra was the greatest popular singer of the “American Songbook” ever, but he stayed too long. Tom Brady is clearly the greatest professional quarterback in football history, but he’s stayed too long. Dan Gilbert, a Harvard psychology professor who spoke at one of my events, told me over drinks, “Sinatra didn’t know he was no longer on top of his game. How will you know?” When I drove home, with gritted teeth, my wife asked me what was wrong. I told her that Dan challenged me about how I’d know I’m no longer on top of my game. “Oh, don’t worry about that,” she said, “I’ll let you know.” Adblock test (Why?) source http://www.expertclick.com/NewsRelease/A-Little-Help-from-My-Friends,2022277563.aspx

Stop Losing Where You Should be Winning

Article by Colleen Francis , October 28, 2022 Losing customers is an age-old problem in sales. But in today’s marketplace—at a time when prices are climbing and supply chains are tight—this issue has grown both in intensity and impact. Sadly today, I’m seeing businesses large and small losing some of their most loyal, most profitable customers. It’s an expensive, tragic mistake. Not only are these loses almost always preventable, they’re happening for different reasons than what salespeople tell themselves. They console themselves with excuses, such as: “We lost the account because of a merger/acquisition.” Or “Because a competitor gave them a better price.” Or “Because there was a change in internal management.” But in fact, it all points to a deeper issue:  a single point of contact became a single point of failure in an account . Every time I see a lost account, I see a sales team that got complacent. They dialed back in precisely the area where they needed to be doubling down:

Add Some Humor to Your Sales & Marketing

Image
For Immediate Release: Dateline: Los Angeles , CA “Many a truth is said in Jest” is an adage that is, well, kinda true. If you want to inject humor into your communications, find something about your product or service that is not great, but kinda true . . .and point it out. After my event in Vegas this week, I took a stroll down the main drag and saw some fun examples of this – This candy store says what we all know about candy . . . it’s not good for you. And I’m guessing the Drinkaide has many of the same ingredients as a sports-type drinks . . . but they’re promoting it for hangovers (something many people have experienced but don’t talk about!). Start looking around! Take a look at how other marketers market their products’ “bad features” and then do the same for yours. Make a list of good and bad things about your product or service and see if you can find a funny gem in there. And yes, there were people in the candy store, despite the true advertising of a not-so-great

Tribute for Dr. Stevanne Auerbach (September 22, 1938-October 19, 2022)

by Jacqueline Fulmer, Ph.D., Director of Omnidoll Research Pioneering mass media toy reviewer and early childhood studies author, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., known to her readers and viewers as “Dr. Toy,” passed away in San Lorenzo, CA, on Wednesday, October 19, 2022, at age 84, due to complications from stroke.  Stevanne Auerbach was an accomplished speaker, consultant, and author, who had trained in child development and special education. Her works ranged from the esoteric: editing volumes on early childhood studies; to the practical: handbooks on the Peace Corps, careers in Home Economics, physical education for differently abled children, and the search for quality childcare; to the creative: a children’s book ( The Alphabet Tree , 1988), a novel ( The Contest , 2009), a book of poetry ( Petals , 1973), and a screenplay. Her title, “Dr. Toy,” dated to her first assignment with  Creative Playthings  in 1968, where she developed its first education marketing program.
