Hi Pam,

I just came across your blog and really like what you have to say. I especially like this posting on Self Promotion. In a world so cluttered with people trying to get our attention, it’s hard to know sometimes what is the most effective approach when you really think you have something offer someone who could be a future client/partner/etc.

Do you have any advice on what you think works best to make a personal connection when trying to make a business introduction?

Thanks Pam!

This looks to be exactly what I need, as I prepare to leave my button-down job and embark on what will hopefully not be a futile attempt to enter into the world of professional photography.

I am glad I found your blog today, and gladder that I read this entry.

Well, you managed to plug their power course without coming across as Vern, the car dealer! haha.

So true Havi! Funny thing is, a lot of people that I really like and admire use the sales page format. I am always surprised to talk to them and find that they are not hype-y at all. Somehow, someway, a new path will be carved for commerce and personality for all.

Can’t wait to figure that part out, with your help of course!

xox,
-Pam

Oh, yay! I miss our conversations about how much sales pages suck and what it means to be human in business. But we’ll catch up post-book!

Thanks for the enthusiasm … it makes everything so much more fun having people we totally admire cheering us on.

And you’re so right on about the partnerships. The thing to do is to *not* try and be “strategic”, and instead just go find the people that you love talking to. That’s how we met too … that, and taking a course with a kind of gross sales page! Oh well. Totally worth it.

Another great endorsement. I’m really considering joining, but I can’t swing the Wedneday time frame. I’m central time and that puts me right int he middle of the work day. They need to do this on a Saturday.
