Trey Pennington Spitball Marketing

When Alex Karis introduced us on Twitter it was as if heaven opened up and I found my long lost best friend…you know the one that you seem to just know each other and connect with ease.  Trey Pennington lives and breathes what he teaches in social media and that feels good (I hear James Brown singing now, giggle)

RADIO SHOW HERE (CLICK)

Today you will have opportunity to listen to a man who really really “get’s it” down to his toes.  I love how he gives nuggets to us in simple easy terms and it fits.  Like this for one:  was reading his interview with Jay Baer- he asked @jaybaer: Right. At some point won’t social media just be called “marketing” and/or “customer service” – when it’s the norm?

Trey’s answer

• IMHO Social media will function best when it’s integrating into normal, everyday life.
• Social media is like processor speed. Remember when we got excited about 33mhz, then 66mhz – argued about them? Now who cares?
• Eventually companies will focus all media, all associates, all processes, etc. on the people they serve

Now how novel, companies focus on the people they serve.  How many of us would benefit from doing what Trey has done and become members of National Storytelling Association?

Having been always intrigued with stories, my Dad was the best story teller-did the cool voices and everything…I can see how being able to connect a good story with your audience make all the difference in the world.

Trey intrigued me today as he commented on a post at Social Media For Smart People about “The Worst Thing You Can Do In Social Networking”-he said Being a GoGiver is what it’s all about. So many folks, and especially politicians, could use your graphic as a fitting avatar—maybe there should be a requirement that if you’re going to talk about yourself non-stop on social media, you must display the horses rear as your avatar as a fair warning disclosure. (ALL political candidates would have to include such a warning when they launched a site, and then their “fans” could eventually vote to remove it as the candidate showed human qualities such as listening, caring, seeking to understand, etc.)

The mindset IS penultimate.

Building social capital (escrow) requires a perpetual focus on others and giving for others’ benefit. It really is just that simple.

Are You A Social Media Horses Ass

Here is the Avatar he was speaking about, giggle.

Now, before you laugh can I ask you a honest question and get an honest answer?

Are you sure you are not a horses ass online? Just saying, keep seeing Tweeps, Facebook friends etc…who do not get what it means to Connect, Content, Conversations and Commerce ™ Trey’s motto.

You will love learning Trey’s affinity for Mom & Pop companies to beat out the Big Guys.  (another one of those things we connected with-like minds do collaborate well and there is a gold nugget in there for you)

He has a book coming out in March called Spitball Marketing.(sorry no link yet, when I get one you will be first to know)  Trey has been one of the most quietly influential social media experts in our country.  England took notice though, he will be going back to Like Minds and unveiling his book there.

By Changing Your Thinking Your Change Your Results

Do you realize what is causing you to reap the results you don’t want? I hate to hand it to you on a silver platter, but it starts with your thoughts, they cause many problems, and, they keep ALL of your problems ? problems. So, what do we do?  Let’s explore some options that might not be so difficult to implement. It is said that true enlightenment is a 2?degree shift in our current thinking; I’ll see you in 2degrees.

To accomplish this knowing what your assessment says  about your opportunities as well as your challenges has given me additional insight into understanding how and why people respond or not respond the way they do; and what that means for your business.

Today’s show we talk about specifics situations and how to “look into” someone’s style and insight so like in the playoff’s in baseball game you are able to hit the balls coming at you to get on base and even make a home run.

You will appreciate how Pamela is able tell it like it is and help you gain clarity.  She does not paint by numbers, which gives you answers and solutions that help you with real life situations NOW.  She shows you in real time how this affects your bottom line.

Are you ready to be able to read people up front, quickly and know whether to come from a place of :

• Collaboration
• Emotion
• Results
• Tasks
• Action

Pam shows us using a real situation with Michele on the show so you can hear and see in real time how this process works and can assist you in generating the results you desires for your business.  You are going to get into habits.  So how about getting into habits that work FOR YOU vs against you for your business.  Training yourself, so what you have to do is easier.

Shifting gears in today’s business world is an important skill to use and to use it well.  You have (if you listened to the radio show or podcast) heard us talk about some of these questions below…

“How do we deal with someone who is really gruff to customers and doesn’t seem to understand the social side of business?”

“How do I ask the best way to communicate with a client or prospect?”

“How do I make myself heard in a meeting that feels out of control?”

“How do we effectively network when everyone is so different?”

“People promise me the moon, but don’t deliver, what’s that all about?”

“Should I just not give feedback on a proposal, I think it will cause trouble and lose the sale?”

Pamela is giving you a starting place so you can wrap your brain around where you are coming from in business today using the assessment she offers.  Take her  up on it.  You will be amazed at how informative, enlightened and empowered you feel after it is completed.
