Visibility + Credibility = Profitability

I had the opportunity to be interviewed a couple of weeks ago by Lori Raudnask from Persistence Pays. Lori and I met a few years ago at a Company of Women event in Oakville and Lori kept my business card!

Lori is actively involved with local Chambers of Commerce and other small business groups; and is an incredible networker. She’s a key note speaker, a sales trainer who builds winning teams.

Is it any wonder she decided to use social media and on-line interviewing to expand her reach?

With Lori’s directions, I drove to Hamilton and walked into a store front studio called NewsClipTV.  I was greeted by Pink and Floyd, resident feline mascots for this unique studio. The studio has a set up that made it easy to talk to host Lori, who was an excellent interviewer. The studio and the set up complete with all the whistles and bells is the brainchild of Moe Masoudi who markets under the name BizClipInc.

While the interview was quick and easy, I wasn’t sure what to expect from the final edit. I shook hands with both Lori and Moe, patted Pink and Floyd and headed back to Oakville to await what could be a great way to increase my visibility, which in turn adds to my credibility – and that ultimately will add to my profitability.

Using Google Alerts – (which I recommend to all of my clients), I was “alerted” as soon as the video was posted to the web. I clicked on and watch the show – it was really well edited, and I am delighted to share the segment with you.

Ethical, effective networking happens when there is a win for everyone – in this case – we were all winners!

I got visibility, Lori did a great job of interviewing, and Moe got the chance to show his editing skills.

Check out the interview at NewsClipTV – Donna Messer of ConnectUsCanada.com

I am going to ask you to comment on the content, and if you will, on the editing and the show itself.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written a blog and this one is going to be all about getting back into the swing of networking. It’s been a great summer, and many of my colleagues have enjoyed shorter hours and long weekends. Now it’s back to work!

So, where am I going to be this month? And why would anyone care? Well, I’m offering everyone a chance to break a record – I posted on Guinness Book of Records that I can make more business matches in one hour than anyone else. I want you to help me set this record.
