@Kato42 So it's back to being patient and keeping channels open. Wax on; Wax off; Wax on.... :)
I get creeped out when, 30 minutes after I've downloaded something, I get the "Did you read it? What do you think? Let's schedule a demo!" call. Sorry, If I've downloaded something it's in the TBR pile to review and follow up with my team on. Of course, this is mostly the marketing automation software folks who do that. Funny that they're the ones turning me off of automation!
So, any words of wisdom for those of us who are slowly (ever so slowly!) working on building an audience/community? This beginning stage feels like we're talking to a wall. Where's the line between patience (Daniel-san) and making the decision that you've got the wrong approach?
I fear for the day that man no longer has treats. That bear certainly seems comfortable putting his arm around that guys neck... But I love the hula hoop!
@yvettepistorio *Band nerd alert* The strap on the cymbal broke so there would be nothing to hold on to and use to strike against the other cymbal. *End band nerd alert.*
@crestodina @Sean McGinnis Hey, now. The printer who attended would like to point out that there are many responsible and sustainable paper choices that don't amount to slaughtering trees. ;) That being said, if interest in a printed copy was low and they would have been wasted, of course, you don't need them. I think that summaries or outlines of some sort would have been sufficient, and far more economical, to produce. Of course, that means just one more thing for your busy presenters to handle.
@John_Trader1 You and I have the same struggle. Our office culture is one of "If you're not there, you're not working." And headphones (which are tacitly verboten, but I use sometimes anyway) mean nothing, because if someone's at my desk they _need_ an answer immediately, if only so they can mark it off their list of tasks.
I've been lobbying to get a day (even half) out of the office each week in order to create an inbound/digital marketing plan, but I guess I'll have to create one first to show the value. Chicken meet egg!
With a mountain of to-be-read books, magazines, blogs, tweets, Facebook posts, etc. "Fish" is what I need to remind me to stop consuming (devouring) content and start engaging with it (and my brain). Thank you!
@jasonkonopinski @belllindsay @ginidietrich
a) This is genius and so true (especially the waking up in the middle of the night).
b) How did he know what I did on Tuesday? Creepy...
Also, I'm not sure what to think if Buyral goes viral...
Pink! Oh, that was glorious. Also, I'm really kind of pissed that candy trading video wasn't around when i was a kid. First, I'd have avoided much candy-abuse from my brothers. Second, I would've known which kids to watch for!
@ginidietrich @jasonkonopinski Gini, I would be right there with you. Love me some Bond action. (don't read into that). And while I'm a committed Diet Coke drinker, Cherry Coke Zero is delicious. Especially if Daniel Craig is involved!
@ginidietrich @RebeccaTodd Here I was thinking I was Luddite with my 3GS and now I've been proven wrong. Hopefully not all the founding owners update so I can retain some (smidgen of) cred.
Traditional or not, I'm making some and stocking my freezer. Always need some meat sauce handy. (and insert 12 year old giggle.)
