		<description>Jane, Great insight as always. I am finding that being more creative and innovative in my marketing is what&#039;s working these days. Using personalized video in my email and online marketing is helping me really stand out from the masses. People like getting these clips and I always try to include something they can apply immediately. If any of your readers are interested in breaking through the clutter check out this link.

Thanks for all you do Jane.

		<description>People also need to update their materials. Because of the web, people can see what you did at your last gig and want to hear something new. They are also tired of rah rah go speeches. People are looking for information they can use, not something to make them feel good.

		<description>Jane,

Sorry I missed you at the NSA Conference - I was hoping to finally meet you. There was definitely a different vibe at this one.

Anyway, your post here is very relevent not only to speakers but to any business. Many industries are looking at moving out of their comfort zones with new ways of engaging their customers. Banks, for example, are struggling with the reality that fewer and fewer customers actually enter their branches where much of the cross-selling has traditionally taken place. Certainly they&#039;re increasing their electronic channels such as online and mobile banking, but also doing community outreach, free financial seminars for teenagers, Webinars for parents preparing for college expenses, etc. These are all approaches that might not have an immediate payoff, but build personal relationships with customers with an eye toward future value.

Anyway, your post struck home with me and I appreciate your perspective. Also, I&#039;ve recently hired a sales and marketing person and his first order of business was to absorb your book, The Wealthy Speaker!</description>
