Other Added - Media Training: Why Nobody's Listening to You
Making changes to improve the overall success of your business should be applauded. It takes a lot of time, dedication, money, and just plain guts to alter the way a business functions; especially in the case of organizational overhauls such as is the case with Six Sigma. When done properly, changes can lead to greater production, happier employees, superior quality, and a better bottom line. However, it is when there is something missing that a company can harm customer relationships, frustrate employees, reduce quality, and hurt the bottom line.The dif

Large companies with big marketing budgets are always trying to find ways to push their products out to consumers. Pepsi is a perfect example of a company that aimed to market their product uniquely. To get this done, Pepsi enlisted the help of the popular fashion designer Nigo from Japan. This merging of urban design and Pepsi was bound to have great impact on the marketing side of the Pepsi product, but also increase sales and customer awareness to both brands.Fashion designer Nigo, is the designer of the popular urban clothing wear, Bathing Apes, in Japa
Many spokespeople approach media interviews the same way they would a major speech. They think at length about what they want to say, jot down a few notes, and try to memorize a few key points.
But they rarely practice how they’re going to deliver their messages. It’s often a fatal mistake.
Here’s a shocking truth: how you say something during a broadcast interview is more important than what you say.
Research has borne this out for decades. UCLA Professor Albert Mehrabian’s landmark study in the 1960s examined how people derive meaning from communications. The release of the findings, still taught in virtually every university’s Communications 101 class, is still regarded as a watershed moment in communications. Dr. Mehrabian found that:
7 percent of meaning is derived from word choice. 38 percent of meaning is taken from verbal cues, such as volume, pitch and pace. 55 percent of meaning results from non-verbal cues, including body language, eye contact, gestures, and appearance.

1. Establish Key Performance IndicatorsThese Key Performance Indicators should measure a variety of financial areas in your business e.g. value of an average transaction, cost per sale, profit margins, cost per inquiry, the lifetime value of a client etc. In this way you will have some very clear yardsticks or benchmarks on which you can base any future profit enhancement initiatives.Write down 4 initiatives against each Key Performance Indicator that you and/or your people can do to improve on these figures. Then write down some action steps and d

With careful planning you can market, promote, and get (free) publicity (publicity is always free) on a limited budget; you can take the cheap and easy way. Your book selling, book marketing, and book promotion planning should begin before the manuscript is completed. Whether you've just published a book or have a book that isn't selling, now is the time to get to it; start promoting and marketing today!Your book press release should not be written as you would a sales letter or flier, it should be written for the editor and tell about your book in a factua

Candy, squeeze balls, pens, and key chains -- these provide questionable value to anyone visiting or staffing a tradeshow booth. More and more meeting and marketing professionals are considering something a little different - booklets. They are a way to attract higher quality prospects, reap a handsome return on the investment of time and money in attending shows, and help set a company apart from the crowd.What is a booklet? The ultimate purpose of a booklet is to educate a target audience. It contains tips, techniques or strategies to help accomplish

People leave their jobs because they are not happy.I saw recently a list of "General reasons why people decide to leave their jobs", and against each reason there was an action.Each action was something that, it was suggested, the manager could do to change the working environment. Something the manager could do to change the way the employee felt about their job and therefore allow them to stay.Why does the manager not understand that these actions were what he should be doing all the time?It is time that we realised the real influence
NOBODY’S LISTENING TO YOU
Do these statistics mean that the media – or audiences – are hopelessly superficial? Well, let’s put it another way. Think about traveling to another country where the residents speak only a local tribal language. Even without words, you could still learn some very important things about a person – such as whether you like or trust them, whether they are warm or cold, welcoming or distant, smart or dumb.
The same is true during media interviews. Audiences will quickly determine whether or not they like you or trust you in seconds. If they don’t, they will effectively tune you out and disregard your message.
So it’s not so much that they’re not listening to you, but that they’ll listen only once you pass the non-verbal test.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
How can you improve your non-verbal communication skills? Here are three tips you can use immediately:
1) Maintain Strong Eye Contact – Before every broadcast interview, ask where to look. Sometimes it’s at an interviewer, others it’s off to the side of a camera, and sometimes it’s directly into the camera. Regardless, make sure you maintain eye contact through the entire interview. It may feel strange to speak naturally to a lens. But since your eyes will appear much larger on a 27” televi
