#NeoMarketing Podcast

Subtitle: Notes From The Chick-Fil-A Drive Thru. It’s not enough for businesses to do what they do well, but every business also needs to innovate to grow and profit. 2020, the year of COVID-19 definitely focused everyone on making the right changes in order to survive and/or thrive. But, you can’t innovate just for the sake of innovation. You should make changes that your audience wants, needs or demands. It’s not about building the coolest widget but delivering your product/service to your client/customer in a way that fits their situation the best. 01:06 COVID-19 Forces Innovation 02:21 What you can learn from the drive thru of a Chick-Fla-La? 07:59 How can you adapt this to your business? 08:08 Company Culture 09:23 Brand semantics of “My Pleasure” as a response to “Thank You” 10:31 Keep It Simple 11:34 Predictive business data 12:45 Create a demand for your product through customer service 13:25 Make a positive out of a negative 13:55 Don’t complain, go fix the problem 14:47 It’s not about the chicken sandwich 15:19 Create and then meet expectations 15:28 The key is innovation for the consumer, not the business 16:06 Innovate now, pay for it later 17:01 The cost of not innovating 18:05 You don’t have to accept the status quo 20:03 A good way to miss opportunity 21:31 Again, create and then meet expectations (it’s that important) 23:16 Dedication to process, culture and brand 23:47 How does this help you/your business? 24:09 The podcast not sponsored by Chick-Fla-A (unfortunately) 25:00 Differentiation by process 26:32 How it all goes together 27:30 Become an iconic brand 28:06 Invest in your customer On every #NeoMarketing podcast, we discuss best practices, latest trends and modern techniques for professional business communications including advertising, marketing, digital channels, social media, public relations and alternative options.

“The Professor” Pritch Pritchard breaks down all the benefits of delegation, a true sign of leadership. For this podcast, we define Delegation as: “Dividing up responsibilities in order to be most efficient in the chain of command. Giving control, authority and responsibility to another person as an opportunity to provide value.” Delegating, when done correctly, is a whole lot more than just telling people what to do. A quite example of leadership. 04:10 Saves time 05:21 Reduce burnout 06:29 Increase value and credibility 07:48 More/better executive experience 08:38 Benefits For employees 10:45 Self-esteem for the team 11:20 Think like an owner, not “just” an employee 12:01 Job enhancement and enjoyment (yes, that’s important!) 14:02 Developing leadership skills in your organization 14:30 Overall effectiveness 14:37 How to delegate effectively 15:08 Stop saying “easier to do it myself” 15:49 “We’ve always done it that way” red flag 17:00 Delegate by strengths and weaknesses of team members 17:23 Delegate in chunks 18:10 Share the big picture 19:22 Define responsibilities 19:34 Provide authority when you delegate 20:28 Make it possible for team members to ask for help 21:46 Don’t micromanage, no one appreciates it We also reference (a few times) The Leadership Challenge: How to Make Extraordinary Things Happen in Organizations by Kouzes and Posner.

“The Professor” Pritch Pritchard, APR has found a new (and what we think is much better) way to explain the concept and execution of Strategy for students and professionals. On this episode, we discuss a better explanation of Strategy and Strategic Execution based on a new definition by Andrew Bellay, who runs https://straty.com/ and holds (among other degrees) a Masters of Science in Management Science & Engineering from Stanford University. We discuss, dissect and elaborate on this definition: Strategy is the process of creating a well-aligned set of activities with the aim of occupying a valuable position in a competitive landscape. Then, we detail how these ideas fit into an overall approach to business, communication, etc….

There are lessons we can all learn from very recent (and still ongoing) failures in crisis communications from our local electric company and elected officials during a weather event, bowing to cancel culture by a national non-profit org. and a billion-dollar tech company that can’t live up to basic expectations. Strap in, we’re calling out leaders for their mistakes and piecing together the lessons we can all learn. The key is learning from our (and other people’s) mistakes. Crisis Communication: 1. There is no such thing as over-communication in crisis situations. 2. You have to meet expectations, not do the minimum. 3. Protocols are better than plans for adapting as a situation changes. 4. Keep your tools (analog and digital) up to date at all times, so you are prepared for a crisis situation. 5. Put a human face on a crisis. Let the people you need to connect with see and hear a real person. 6. Use everything, multiple times. See item #1 again. 7. Actual transparency and authenticity, the way real people (your stakeholders) expect it. Cancel Culture: You cannot appease your way back from being canceled. (Unless you really, really screwed up) the attempt to do so will only cost you, supporters while doing nothing to “un-cancel” your reputation online. Unmet Expectations: How can a Billion (with a B) dollar tech company like T-Mobile have a poorly designed and performing website? They must not care about customer appreciation. What do all of these have to do with each other? More communication, even if it’s incomplete or not what people are happy to hear, is always better than less communication.

“The Professor” Pritch Pritchard, APR and PRSA Fellow breaks down the top 10 crisis communications myths according to “Effective Crisis Communication – Moving From Crisis to Opportunity” by three of today’s most respected crisis/risk communication scholars: Robert R. Ulmer, University of Nevada/University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Timothy L. Sellnow, University of Central Florida and Matthew W. Seeger – Wayne State University. The Effective Crisis Communication https://www.sagepub.com/hi/nam/effective-crisis-communication/book246198 textbook examines the latest theories and innovative approaches for handling crisis. Unlike other crisis communication texts, this acclaimed book answers the question, “what now?” and explains how organizations can create the potential for opportunity, renewal, and growth through effective crisis communication. Authors Robert R. Ulmer, Timothy L. Sellnow, and Matthew W. Seeger provide guidelines for taking the many challenges that crises present and turning those challenges into opportunities. Practical lessons and in-depth case studies highlight successes and failures in dealing with core issues of crisis leadership, including managing uncertainty, communicating effectively, understanding risk, promoting communication ethics, enabling organizational learning, and producing renewing responses to crisis.

Welcome to the first full week of Q4 2020. No matter how far from normal this year has been so far, there are still lessons to be learned, business processes to be evaluated and (most importantly) planning for 2021 should be in full swing. This year, you can’t just create a Plan “A” but you also need plans “B” “C” and “D” to cover the variations of COVID-19 recovery, the presidential elections and general uncertainty in the world for the upcoming year. Since COVID-19 started impacting business transactions in early 2020, we have been telling you to Adapt, Adopt or Pivot. On this episode, we will discuss how to evaluate, measure and utilize what we have all learned from 2020 and how to best move your business forward into the still very uncertain 2021. Thanks to 2020, you should have made changes (minor or major) to your business operations with NEW and DIFFERENT tools (digital and brick/mortar) for marketing and selling, insights/data, competitive landscape, audience/potential audience and expectations. The key to 2021 will be taking advantage of what’s working right now and in the future along with recovering the investments you have made to survive 2020. If you need help, don’t know where to start or just don’t want to go it alone please contact us – that’s what we’re here for! https://thegoldinggroup.com/contact-us/ BONUS: Do NOT use the term “New Normal” because in business every day is new and nothing about our current business situations can be considered “Normal”.

Do you know the difference between Goals, Objectives, Strategy & Tactics? Too many business people don’t get it, often confusing the various important part of the business plan, getting them out of order or just not paying attention to each aspect.

Ep92: “The Professor” Pritch Pritchard breaks down the elements of a clear and captivating message via the acronym CUBE A (created by Brad Phillips, one of the world’s top media trainers) for internal and external communication.
