We visit with two experts today to gain insight into real-world techniques for recruiting the very best staff. My first guest is George Lessmeister. George has fourteen years of documented success within the specialty recruiting industry. A former Sr. Regional Vice President with an international financial staffing firm, he was instrumental in the growth and development of a nine-branch region in the Central United States. Today George is President and co-founder of LGC Associates, a staffing firm specializing in the recruitment and placement of business administration professionals and food service and hospitality professionals. George really knows his stuff! One important lesson I learned from this interview is that using the services of a good recruiting firm is of no cost to you until and unless you hire a candidate supplied by them. What a great way to reduce risk. My second guest, Lorraine Ball, is the Founder of Roundpeg, a national, full service marketing firm helping small business owners find a starting point for growth and change. Lorraine's articles on marketing, planning and business development have been featured in Contracting Business, The New York Forum, The Indianapolis Business Journal and The ACHR News. In addition to much great social networking advice, Lorraine suggested an online contact management tool you can find here: Jibber Jobber Show Notes, Promethius Recommends Promethius Consulting, LLC no No http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2007/01/16/episode-14-duct-tape-marketing-and-john-jantschs-new-book/ http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2007/01/16/episode-14-duct-tape-marketing-and-john-jantschs-new-book/#comments Tue, 16 Jan 2007 17:12:54 +0000 tvalle Show Notes Blogging Marketing Promethius Recommends http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2007/01/16/episode-14-duct-tape-marketing-and-john-jantschs-new-book/ http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2007/01/16/episode-14-duct-tape-marketing-and-john-jantschs-new-book/feed/ 13:43 Download Episode 14 {Duct Tape Marketing} If you are an avid reader of the hugely-popular Duct Tape Marketing blog, you'll want to rush right out and ... Download Episode 14 {Duct Tape Marketing} If you are an avid reader of the hugely-popular Duct Tape Marketing blog, you'll want to rush right out and buy John Jantsch's latest book entitled Duct Tape Marketing - The World's Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide. I had a chance to chat with John about his book, his theories on marketing and some of the common marketing "pitfalls" business owners fall into. What I really like about John's approach is that he demystifies marketing. He has this way of making it all sound fairly simple and, most importantly, attainable. If you're interested in purchasing his new book, I would suggest checking out his bonus offers page. If you haven't read the Duct Tape Marketing blog, here are two of my favorite recent posts of John's: Does your firm suffer from feature creep? (How true it is!!)

It seems that just about everyone has at least heard the term, but it's difficult to find anyone who can really tell you conclusively what WEB 2.0 really is. We hope to shed some light with today's discussion. Brigid Barnacle from Trenton New Jersey writes in: I keep hearing the term “Web 2.0” thrown around, but I can’t seem to figure out what it is. Is it a language? Is it a piece of software? If it’s so popular, why can’t anyone explain exactly what it is? Alan had a little too much fun calling local businesses in town to see if he could get any answers about WEB 2.0. We play some of the phone calls throughout this segment. Does this mean Promethius endorses "prank" calling? Look out Jerky Boys! First of all, WEB 2.0 is partly a buzzword, just like ".NET" or "Ajax." But main elements surrounding the buzzword involve "open data," (see flickr), "participation," (see digg). Other concepts mentioned: WEB 1.0, Collective Intelligence, e-Commerce rating systems Sites Mentioned: flickr, digg, wikipedia, youtube, netvibes, yousendit, del.icio.us, newsvine Applications Mentioned: Basecamp, Pretty CMS 2.0 {update - 9/21/2006} -  Ken Yarmosh has a recap of the "New New Internet Conference," and it just makes me laugh, because the term "Web 2.0" is strewn all about, but it still doesn't really tell us anything specific.  Web 2.0 has to be one of the most majorly over-used buzzwords of the decade!

The term "timeshifting" is often used to describe the benefit to the podcast listener of being able to listen to content whenever and wherever suits them. We demonstrate that timeshifting also benefits the podcast creator. Alan and I recorded our audio for segment one separately from one another, at a time and place of our own choosing. The pieces were then edited together to make the episode you hear today, called "Very Good Things." I start out by revealing my very favorite marketing blog of all time - Duct Tape Marketing by John Jantsch. He never seems at a loss for new ideas and insights. His blog is like a marketer's toy store just brimming with wonders from all ends of cyberspace. John's new book is due out later this year. I can't wait!! Other great posts from the Duct Tape Marketing Blog: What does your email address say about your business? How to beat the Wal-Marts. Sending and receiving very large files. Alan shared his love for his Lomo LCA camera. They really do take amazing photos. Check out the Lomographic Society website. Some of Alan's Lomo collection is online. Tony also shared a cool little site he found: expresspdf.com. You can submit any Word, Excel or web file to the site, and it emails you a perfect pdf copy within seconds. Kind of nice if you're working on a computer that's not your own. Finally we wrap up our discussion in the studio "live" on tape to discuss our timeshifting experiment. If you are considering implementing a podcast for your organization, you can generate a whole lot of good content by sharing the burden among several staff members. If you set them up to record when and where it is most convenient for them, staff will happily participate. podcast, marketing, timeshifting, small, business Promethius Consulting, LLC no No http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2006/08/08/episode-7-introduction-to-podcasting-meet-alan-houser/ http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2006/08/08/episode-7-introduction-to-podcasting-meet-alan-houser/#comments Tue, 08 Aug 2006 15:55:13 +0000 tvalle Show Notes http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2006/08/08/episode-7-introduction-to-podcasting-meet-alan-houser/ http://www.greatbigpodcast.com/2006/08/08/episode-7-introduction-to-podcasting-meet-alan-houser/feed/ 22:13 Download Episode 7 We're excited to have Alan Houser with us in the studio today.

Jim is currently with The Resource Development Group, where he coaches and mentors several business clients to successfully and effectively navigate change to achieve the results they desire. We cover several topics of interest especially to small business owners, but they certainly apply to business professionals of all types. I started out by asking a broad question that seems to be on the mind of many of my professional peers these days. "Why is business so difficult these days? It seems that every time I get together with fellow business owners, we talk about how long it's been since we've seen our families. Yet we don't seem to be getting the return on our time." As Jim often does, he had a perfectly reasonable response to this common situation. He's the kind of guy that just seems to be able to break things down into simple, understandable concepts. We also talked about the effects of inexperience when it comes to networking and pricing. For Jim and I both, our businesses are complex and highly consultative. An "uneducated" customer might want to get to the bottom line right away. "How much would it cost for Promethius to produce a podcast for my business?" Such questions can't be answered without a whole lot more information. What are you trying to achieve with your podcast? Who is your audience? What business are you in? An inexperienced consultant might be inclined to give some sort of answer to the pricing question right away, even though he can't possibly set reasonable expectations without having more information. Another common issue facing many small business owners was reflected in another one of my questions for Jim. "How can I get my staff to think like I do when I'm not around?" As a business grows, the ownership has to rely more and more on staff to be the face of the company. This can be frightening for leaders, but it must be done if you intend to grow. News: Nielsen Media Research Company is reporting that video-sharing website youtube.com is the fastest growing website on the internet. Web traffic to the site grew 75% just in the week ending July 16, from 7.3 million to 12.8 million unique visitors. Youtube.com traffic has grown nearly 300% since January. The website still operates without a set advertising model, but plans are reportedly in the works to offer several sponsorship packages. Two presenters at a Hacker conference in New York City claim to have successfully copied or “cloned” an implanted RFID or “radio frequency ID” chip. The controversial chips, manufactured by the VeriChip Corp, have been marketed as counterfeit proof, and are generally considered to be a future favorite of the retail and banking industries. VeriChip has not yet responded to these claims. BusinessWeek is reporting that Clearwire Corp. has announced major plans to create a nationwide wireless broadband network within the next three years. The company has amassed enough licensed radio spectrum to create a nationwide, wireless broadband network based on an emerging technology called mobile WiMAX -- a powerful cousin of the familiar WiFi technology. Clearwire received major backing on July 5, when Intel Corp. and Motorola invested nearly $900 million into the company. The two hardware manufactures plan to sell products that integrate with the new WiMax platform. Scammers have begun using the telephone to harvest data for use in identity theft and credit card fraud, and VoIP is making it easier for them to cover their tracks. Websense Security Labs, San Diego, in June reported a scam that targeted customers of Santa Barbara Bank Trust with an e-mail alerting them to a supposed problem with their account. Instead of directing them to click on a link, the e-mail listed a phone number for customers to call to verify their identity.

Download Episode 5 Headlines A new study from consulting firm Diamond Cluster International seems to show that the peak in the outsourcing boom has come and gone. Results show that premature contract terminations, due to poor performance, have become increasingly prevalent. The study found that 47 percent of buyers reported they had prematurely terminated at least one outsourcing relationship in the prior 12 months. The IT community expressed concern last week over the FBI’s desire that Congress mandate that all future routing equipment must be manufactured to include back doors for law enforcement. Similar mandates have already been passed into law for telephone switching equipment, which require no warrant to activate, and hence can be secretly enabled at will. It is widely believed among the IT community that adding these so-called “back doors” to the routing infrastructure would significantly diminish the security of most computer networks. A Paralyzed man using a new brain sensor has been able to move a computer cursor, open e-mail and control a robotic device simply by thinking about doing it. The Brain Gate sensor, which involves implanting electrodes directly into the brain, was developed by Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems Inc of Massachusetts. Three more spinal chord injury patients are scheduled to test the device over the next several months. Google released its latest version of Google Spreadsheet on Thursday. Several new features have been added, such as the right-click initiated cell commands cut, copy and paste, and the ability to add cell borders. General load times are reported to be much improved as well. July Promethean Review: Content Management Systems (CMS) It used to be that content management systems were clunky and frustrating for the average webmaster. These days with the great gains in online programming platforms, especially Microsoft .NET, content management systems are much more desirable. Promethius has spent the last two years building our own content management system from scratch. The resulting application, which we call "Pretty CMS," is built on the .NET platform and gives us all the flexibility we need to meet the various needs of our customers. In fact, we find that every single CMS installation we do requires some sort of customization to accommodate a special feature or business rule that the client may have. Because we built the system entirely in-house, it's much easier for us to provide special customizations for our clients. We never have to worry about getting a hold of any source code. We wrote it all!

Download Episode 4 Headlines According to a study by Outsell Inc., a leading marketing research firm, click fraud now costs online advertisers nearly $1 billion per year, with advertisers believing almost 15% of all paid click-throughs are fraudulent. Among the studie’s other findings, 75% of online advertisers claim they have been victims of click fraud. It is estimated that Google and Yahoo, the two major players in the pay-per-click market, have lost up to $500 million in revenue as a result of click fraud. The New York Times is reporting the results of a major SPAM study. The study found that Spam messages promoting pornography are 280 times as effective in getting recipients to click on them as messages advertising pharmaceutical drugs, which are the next most effective type of spam. The third most successful variety is spam advertising Rolex watches, with a 0.0075 percent click-through rate. Major analysis for the study was provided by CipherTrust, a large manufacturer of devices that protect networks from spam and viruses. Microsoft appears to be taking major aim at the iPod’s dominant lead in the mp3 player market with a new line of devices set to launch in November of this year. The portable audio and video player will have a screen that's "bigger than that of the iPod video models" The units will also ship with built-in WiFi so you can download content directly to the player. Most notably, to attract current iPod users, Microsoft reportedly plans to allow new customers to download for free any songs they have already purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Microsoft will still have to pay the rights-holders for the songs, but they apparently believe the extra cost will pay dividends in gaining a larger share of the lucrative mp3 player market. For small American companies, selling goods abroad can be complex and costly. At least one piece of the puzzle - offering a local phone number, and thus giving the impression of a local presence, just got a little easier. A new company called JetNumbers allows you to pay a set monthly fee to offer a local phone number in a foreign land, which then redirects to your American phone. Callers only pay for the local portion of the call just like they were calling a local number. The company offers several plans that can be set up directly through their website within a matter of minutes. For more information, visit www.jetnumbers.com Controversy swirled among the blogging community last week over the creation of a service called PayPerPost.com. The website is a new system that pays bloggers a bounty to write about products and services. Companies sign up for an account, and pay bloggers when they cover their products or services. There's no requirement that the blog run a disclosure that the item is paid. The general blogging community is so far exerting strong social pressure on those bloggers who are found to be working with the payperpost.com system.
