Transcribe →Finola Sloyan - SloyanPR
Dec 16, 202000:18:46Tap to summarizeInterview with Finola SloyanI set up SloyanPR in 2015 and work with sales’ teams, C-suite and global solution providers of technology to maximise visibility and relevance of their brand (individual and company) to the end customer. I believe that PR builds credibility and validation of a brand, and of the people in front of it. Mediums used to relay information are, in the main, articles, blogs, media releases, video interviews, LinkedIn profiles, social messaging.People buy brand names they know and trust and it’s important (truthful and sincere) messaging makes a prospect feel there are:1. functional benefits (it will do the job),2. there is a psychic value (we see something of ourselves in the product or salesperson)3. Investment value – it must be a good investment.Employee advocacy of a brand is another very effective way of communicating a company’s culture and expertise through the voices of key personnel. It’s authentic and people respond to people more readily than with a brand. Having your employees speak for your brand is very powerful.

Transcribe →Sheryl Andrews - The Listening Detective
Nov 19, 202000:25:33Tap to summarizeInterview with Sheryl Andrews When we are at our worst it is often hard to ask for help. Those that do reach out often experience frustration because the response or reaction often makes them feel worse not better. What many don’t know is there are as many as 8 different kinds of listening and many start chatting without making it clear to the listener what they need from their time together. This can result in overwhelm and frustration for all involved. When this pattern repeats it can leave you feeling quite alone and isolated. If talking doesn’t help and staying quiet doesn’t either what do you do?Step by step listening work with small business owners to make sense of what is happening and what kind of listening they need to transform overwhelm into clarity and confidence.
