Using The Web To Make You More Productive - Getting More Done With Less

Date: May 11, 2011 @ 1 pm Eastern

Ever thought to yourself "I just wish there were more hours in the day and I could get all my work done?" Haven't we all! It seems that over time we have more things to do, but the amount of time we have to do them in never gets any bigger. That means you either scale back what you are "doing" (and that's no fun), or you figure out a way to get more done in less time. Sound like a plan?

This week's FWW Jeff and Eric welcome back former guest (and fellow "tech-addict") Greg McPherson. As a successful Realtor and Broker in the real estate market, Greg will share with us some of the ways that he is using technology to manage  his business while he's on the road, working with clients and trying to keep his staff going with all the necessary information they need to be successful. Also, one of the programs that Eric has been using, called Evernote, is one that has created quite a bit of convenience lately and we may spend some time walking through that system and showing how it works.

One thing is for sure, when Jeff and Eric get together with Greg, you never know exactly where the conversation will head. Oh yeah, there was a little announcement recently about Skype and Microsoft that may get a bit of discussion as well. The world is interested in where this deal is headed and what that will mean for those of us that rely on this service.

Lessons From the Mouse: Applying Disney World’s Secrets of Success to Your Organization

Date: Wednesday, December 1 @ 1 pm Eastern

For this week's Free Webinar Wednesday, Eric and Jeff welcome author, speaker and "all around great guy" Dennis Snow, president of Snow & Associates, Inc. Crossing paths recently at a banking conference in Nebraska, Eric and Dennis got to chatting after his session on providing world-class customer service and thought his message would be an excellent topic for our FWW audience (plus, Eric is a HUGE Disney fan, so that's also a big plus).

His customer service abilities were honed over 20 years with the Walt Disney World Company. There, he developed his passion for service excellence and the experience he brings to the worldwide speaking and consulting he does today.

Beginning his Disney career in 1979 as a front-line attractions operator, he advanced through the company and managed various operating areas throughout the park, learning and applying the skills it takes to run a world-class, service-driven organization. Dennis launched a division of the Disney Institute responsible for consulting with some of the world’s largest companies including ExxonMobil, AT&T, and Coca Cola - and will be sharing his insights with our FWW audience. We can't wait!

Check out his full bio...

What can you learn from a mouse?
When that mouse has been delighting hundreds of millions of people for decades, it turns out that there some lessons that can be applied by any organization as well as any individual within the organization. This presentation pulls back the curtain and reveals the core values Disney World expects each of their fifty-five thousand “cast members” to live every day.

In this session you will learn:

• Why a question like “What time is the three o’clock parade?” is not a stupid question. – Understanding the customer’s perspective.
• How to keep routine tasks from appearing robotic or impersonal to customers – Ensuring that service is animated, not automated.
• What every team member can do to deliver on the promise of the organization’s brand.
• How to exceed customer expectations and keep them coming back.
• How to differentiate your organization by eliminating typical customer frustrations.

If you're interested in taking your organization's service capabilities to the "next level" in the year ahead, this is a session you cannot afford to miss!

Internal social networking is growing like wildfire. Corporate Communications executives are buzzing about their adventures with Yammer and Sharepoint.

 

But not nearly enough companies are leveraging their employees’ love affair with external social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn to communicate with customers. It’s time to join companies like Dell, Southwest Airlines and Intel and turn public relations inside out!

 

Speakers on August 19th at 1:00 EDT will discuss their concept of “Inside Out Public Relations,” how companies can use employees as brand advocates online to reach their customers and other constituents.

 

They will outline a simple 7-step strategic plan that any company can employ to empower their employees to speak out on the company’s behalf. They will also reveal how an IT consultant used Twitter to become a one-man marketing magnet for CIOs and a go-to source for trade media and conference organizers.

Join us for a discussion about connecting with customers and inviting a problem-solving dialogue. Too often when someone asks the question: So what is it that you do? We respond with a vague answer that contains industry jargon and in turn is a conversation killer.

Our discussion this Wednesday with Matt Walker and Jeff Simpkins will focus on inviting a dialogue with potential customers and examine shifting our perspective towards seeking an understanding of our customers needs and desires and offering solutions that are client-centered. 

We will host a discussion, a question and answer, and offer the opportunity to give feedback to participants as we discuss a Who and Do What Statement and a Why You Do It Statement. These statements are more than just a mission statement: these are statements that will come alive and you can begin implementing immediately. This is the type of work that will positively shift your relationship with prospects and current clients.
