“We make our own weather!” Leadership lessons from Elaine Damschen.

Eric McGrath: Driven Leadership.

mcgrath [https://thethankyounote.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/mcgrath.jpeg?w=750] I recorded this conversation last week after a couple of days of feeling really low.  Eric brought perspective and insights that were spot on.  Leadership, management, motivation, overcoming fear, and focusing on the things that actually matter.  The introduction is completely off script but it’s where my headspace was at the time.  Take care of yourself and your tribe.  Be safe. https://thethankyounote.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/eric-mcgrath_april2020.mp3 [https://thethankyounote.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/eric-mcgrath_april2020.mp3]

Talking Virtual Platforms with Tom Wittman

Last week I had the pleasure of interviewing Tom Wittman.  Tom offers a balanced perspective on virtual selling platforms, tried and true selling tactics, and the evolution of sales.  Tom’s recommendations are just what we need while the service industry adapts to life during social distancing.  Enjoy the podcast, stay safe. #flattenthecurve Matt https://thethankyounote.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/tom-wittman_march2020.mp3 [https://thethankyounote.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/tom-wittman_march2020.mp3]

Focus and Stability–The Digital Sherpa Matthew Tyner – March 2020

Matt Tyner is the Marketing Manger for an HVAC company that employs 400+ people and that services a multi-state area.  He is accountable for the digital strategy, budget, implementation, and results.  Prior to his current role he designed and managed digital campaigns for boutique level clients. The things that matter most to me is that Matt is a smart, no-bullshit guy who pays attention to the trends but is never distracted by “shiny new toy” syndrome.  I hope that you’ll find his recommendations applicable. Flatten the curve.

Podcast: E-Commerce for the home service industry–a growth and survival strategy. My interview with Justin Riley.

justin riley [https://thethankyounote.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/justin-riley.jpg?w=750] I interviewed Justin Riley in 2018 when his on-line/e-commerce platform was hitting a stride.  Since then it’s grown exponentially in both scale and profitability.  While many contractors are limited by social distancing Justin’s technology provides limitless sales and service opportunities.  This is a fantastic podcast for any business owner who is tired of cancelled service and sales appointments and is ready to shake off the traditional constraints associated with in-home selling. Thank you for listening.  I appreciate your support.  We’re in this together.  Flatten the curve.
