When it Comes to PR Success Be Patient but Be Ready

When it Comes to PR Success Be Patient but Be Ready

Although media placement usually takes some time, there are those instances that a press release immediately hits the jackpot. We have sent out a press release on a client at 9 a.m. and have had that client doing a live TV interview at noon that same day. You have to be ready. Remember, don't unleash the power of the media until you're prepared to control it. The often difficult part is whereas you need to be prepared, you also have to be patient. Make sure you have everything in order before you start. Once it's in motion, it's too late. And, if you're not prepared to do an interview, it could turn out to be a dismal experience. You'll feel depressed and embarrassed, the media will feel cheated, and you will have wasted an incredible opportunity.

So prepare. Review the image you want to convey - small town and friendly, authoritative, professional, humorous, avant-garde, formal and business-like - whatever. But make sure that your image matches your personality. If you are basically shy and retiring, don't try to come off like a rock star. It ain't gonna work. I always suggest media training to learn to project more, hone your message and become a bit more forceful with your responses. Keep your voice modulated. Be dynamic, but not frenzied. Your mission here is not to alter your personality, but to enhance it

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website
