Ok, when I read the part, "What would happen...we want to serve?"....I thought "AHA".....I have thought about doing this, but honestly, I have not made a point to actually go out and do it. I will set myself up a 4-day win goal to hang with those I could serve. Cheers! Pam,

Very thought provoking. Companies often get lost in the noise and forget what makes the whole thing work, customers. I know this personally as both a consumer and a entrepreneur.

I'd like to add a little something to this, a little icing to the cake. There's something very important in the way of experiencing things out of your comfort zone that opens up your mind to different ways of thinking in general. In a business setting, this is ALWAYS helpful... in fact, I would consider it essential to true success! Kate Pam, great advice.

Wish I'd written it. Yes, we often hang out so much in our own groups, we forget that our "prospects" are out there-in their own groups! Where do you hang out to find clients? -Shama --- Hi Shama! At this phase of my blog's life, I follow a lot of incoming links to see who is writing about me. Ironically, I am not really on a "client finding" mission right now since I have enough 1:1 clients and am focusing on writing my book. But to get the world out there when I am looking for clients, I try to do a good job commenting on other blogs I like (Guy Kawasaki's, Garr Reynolds, Ramit Sethi's, etc.) who have people that I know are connected to my message. I see you EVERYWHERE so I know you do the same thing! Hope it helps! -Pam Hi Pam,

LOVELY post. Wish I’d written it. Yes, we often hang out so much in our own groups, we forget that our “prospects” are out there-in their own groups!

Where do you hang out to find clients?

Hi Shama!

At this phase of my blog’s life, I follow a lot of incoming links to see who is writing about me. Ironically, I am not really on a “client finding” mission right now since I have enough 1:1 clients and am focusing on writing my book. But to get the world out there when I am looking for clients, I try to do a good job commenting on other blogs I like (Guy Kawasaki’s, Garr Reynolds, Ramit Sethi’s, etc.) who have people that I know are connected to my message.

I see you EVERYWHERE so I know you do the same thing!

Hope it helps!

So very true! I love this.. and I will make this my goal to touch those who I want to do business with.. Anyone out there know how I can reach Queen Latifah??? --- Who knows Teri, maybe someone here does! Start with always including your URL when you comment on blogs so that someone can contact you if they want. I found yours via Google, http://anyevent.org/default.aspx As for The Queen, funny you should mention her, since I think she is the ultimate brand manager. Mentioned this in a guest post in the NYT: http://tinyurl.com/33xmpx Good luck -- the Six Degrees of Separation are powerful! And if you see that she is making a public appearance somewhere, go visit! All the best, -Pam AWESOME!!! So very true!
