10:08:37	 From  Ernesto M : HELLO FROM EL SALVADOR
10:08:47	 From  Kristine Carey : hey Ernesto!
10:09:13	 From  Diana’s iPhone : thank you.
10:12:41	 From  Polly B : You guys are a great model for tone and I take notes all the time on what you’re doing.  It’s so helpful to show as well as telling us.
10:12:48	 From  C.J. Hayden : Most recent Get Clients Now! blog post covers some of this too: getclientsnow.com/blog
10:12:57	 From  C.J. Hayden : Thank you, Polly!
10:12:59	 From  Michelle G : Some of the marketing principles you should follow now are really principles you should always follow. (-:
10:13:09	 From  C.J. Hayden : You are so right, Michelle!
10:14:14	 From  Ryan H : This may be temporary but I believe every business needs to pivot. This will be different for every business. Plans change reach your clients/customers where they are now and where their going to be in the months to come. 
10:15:04	 From  Brad S : I am thinking this is a bad time to offer some tiny discounts as if you're some kind of blessing to mankind. I've seen some of that. 
10:18:05	 From  franki : I think businesses need to figure out if farming may be better than harvesting for them at this time. Not all services are open to be purchased now… But it is temporary.
10:18:28	 From  Kristine Carey : good analogy, frank
10:24:17	 From  franki : I’m in BNI, we’re having great attendance on zoom. Business is still being shared.
10:25:04	 From  Polly B : This is a huge opportunity to brand.  People are watching to see how businesses are handling Covid.  I’m trying hard to take a high road despite my own challenges, and that’s the image I think my client base will take away — that’s what I hope anyway.
10:25:07	 From  Kristine Carey : I've been in bni myself, and I know others on the line are still. how are your groups doing?
10:25:15	 From  Michelle G : Yes, definitely, C.J. - I owe you a reply!
10:25:46	 From  Michelle G : I see an uptick in clients wanting to start doing more with social media.
10:26:11	 From  Polly B : What is bin?
10:26:15	 From  Polly B : BNI
10:26:20	 From  C.J. Hayden : Thanks, Michelle!
10:26:26	 From  Patrick B : business networking international
10:26:41	 From  Michelle B : I’m in BNI and it’s going great - they quickly set up online, and my group in particular is supportive and using zoom for meeting and personal meetings
10:26:46	 From  SteveA : BNI is the worlds largest networking group with chapters around the world
10:27:04	 From  SteveA : one business per chapter and you refer business to your chapter members. its great!
10:27:22	 From  Ryan H : zoom meetings, 80% participation, not all are tech savoy. Its better than not meeting at all
10:28:12	 From  Gene F : only issue with BNI is that you are not allowed to belong to other networking groups. But have heard great things about BNI.
10:28:40	 From  Rob K : I'm in LeTip. We're all virtual.
10:28:41	 From  SteveA : that’s not true
10:29:09	 From  Gene F : everytime I've gone to BNI in Denver that's what I've been told.
10:29:15	 From  C.J. Hayden : You mean not true about BNI, right Steve?
10:29:49	 From  C.J. Hayden : I haven't heard that from BNI either, Gene
10:29:52	 From  melanie : I'm with eXp Realty and we are all virtual
10:30:00	 From  C.J. Hayden : May be something that chapter is doing that's not typical
10:30:16	 From  Gene F : good to hear. Thanks for the clarification.
10:30:17	 From  C.J. Hayden : Good to hear so many have gone virtual
10:30:41	 From  Gene F : as I belong to several other networking groups that are very strong.
10:31:01	 From  Michelle B : I think you can’t be in another BNI-type networking group, ‘cause that defeats the purpose, but you can definitely be in groups like Chamber of Commerce, Rotary, etc. I’m also in NAWBO, National Association of Business Owners, and no problem.
10:31:12	 From  Rob K : I get energized from 1 on 1s on Zoom!
10:31:24	 From  C.J. Hayden : Thanks for clarification, Michelle
10:31:45	 From  C.J. Hayden : Yes, I'm offering an extra Get It Written Day this month, due to demand
10:31:55	 From  Polly B : Kris, you’re doing a great job today.  Good Stuff.
10:31:58	 From  Lis M : Share some ideas about list building, please.
10:32:01	 From  C.J. Hayden : It's a virtual writing retreat to get your stuff written in company
10:32:27	 From  C.J. Hayden : Lis building is a great topic. Hold that thought
10:32:30	 From  Gene F : I already belong to One Business Connection with several hundred members and founded another - Denver Business to Business Group with about 30 members.
10:32:31	 From  C.J. Hayden : List
10:32:33	 From  Polly B : Get it Written day is great — I’ve been doing them for a while and just finished and sent off my book proposal.
10:33:37	 From  Chris C : "Hey I have some stuff. Would you like some stuff?"
10:33:51	 From  C.J. Hayden : Say more, Chris!
10:34:43	 From  Kristine Carey : lol @chris Cranston ;)
10:35:14	 From  Kristine Carey : @polly - thank you :) so glad to have you hear
10:35:24	 From  Kristine Carey : nice, gene!
10:35:42	 From  Rob K : I relied on live networking and coffee dates
10:36:49	 From  Kristine Carey : @rob -I've seen a lot of virtual coffees, even happy hours. i'm doing a coffee date later today, and attended a virtual networking happy hour last week and met some amazing people\
10:37:35	 From  Diana’s iPhone : can you share about making calls ‘shorter than longer’ since people may want to talk more
10:37:53	 From  Polly B : Social distancing is possible in person.  I have my first paid design session tomorrow with clients at their home.  We’ll stay outside and I’ll do more prep before and after.
10:38:16	 From  Kristine Carey : ooo, interesting, polly
10:38:39	 From  Kristine Carey : @steve adams!!
10:38:42	 From  Brad S : yeah, good point polly
10:38:50	 From  melanie : That is amazing Polly
10:38:58	 From  Rob K : My chamber is using a buy now use later
10:39:15	 From  Cathy R : I read an article last week that said replacing SHOULD with COULD changes the whole thought process from negative to positive.
10:39:29	 From  franki : Much of what I do is building brands, messaging, branding, website design, print, ect. But much of it about creating the brand, not selling it. Understandably customers seem to be more focused on the immediate needs.
10:39:55	 From  Rob K : a script?
10:40:28	 From  Diana’s iPhone : taking care of my throat:-) thank you
10:40:43	 From  Kristine Carey : thank you for speaking up about that, diana
10:40:48	 From  Diana’s iPhone : how would you frame the call
10:40:59	 From  Patrick B : You can use that to end the call "I'm saving my voice"
10:41:09	 From  Diana’s iPhone : lol
10:41:24	 From  Gene F : I love video conferences. You can always "accidentally" dismiss the participant. :)
10:41:42	 From  Kathy V : Yes not easy. I did a networking call the other day and once he started talking he literally didn't stop for an hour. I had to cut it off for a webinar and he seemed surprised?!
10:41:55	 From  Diana’s iPhone : wow! that direct! love that
10:41:59	 From  Ernesto M : I would like to hear different aproches that  all the group is using now
10:43:25	 From  Patrick B : That's a great approach. Be interested in THEM
10:43:46	 From  Barbara S : I have been posting Writing Tips for the Day.
10:44:00	 From  Ernesto M : yes
10:44:02	 From  Kristine Carey : that sounds nice, barbara
10:45:01	 From  Ernesto M : Great idea, Polly
10:45:35	 From  SteveA : Im focusing on expansion and not contraction
10:45:51	 From  Lis M : I’m offering 1,2 and 3 hour virtual appointments but have debated whether or not to discount them. Your thoughts? I only offer a discounted session for Seniors.
10:45:52	 From  Sandy R : I'm making personal calls just to see how my clients are feeling - not offering anything. I also have been sending out updates on what HR needs to know about govt. loans. I post blogs on LinkedIn and FB. I have had more client contact in the last 3 weeks which continues to be helpful to my clients and to me, a business consultant. 
10:46:03	 From  Kathy V : good idea to post or email to your audience/client base on tips you know well. thank you
10:46:23	 From  melanie : That's brilliant!  
10:46:38	 From  Ernesto M : Great action, Sandy
10:47:41	 From  Rob K : Bill Withers died?!?!
10:48:10	 From  Polly B : I don’t know that I explained that all that well.  The principle I used is “Give, don’t ask” so I took a chance that felt right.  I just try to improve my clients mood right then, give them something else to think about.  To my surprise, I got two referrals in the first couple of weeks.
10:48:13	 From  Michelle B : Excellent idea Barbara!
10:48:31	 From  Brad S : Good one Barbara - and what you're doing right now is marketing too. There will be a lot of Zoom-esque marketing opptys in next few months. 
10:49:15	 From  melanie : Givers get, Polly
10:49:36	 From  Rob K : Apple and Microsoft started in the worst economy
10:49:46	 From  Diana’s iPhone : Sandy- how is that approach working for you with your calls? how long have your calls been?
10:49:53	 From  Brad S : Bill Withers was one of the few musicians I ever wanted to meet. 
10:51:03	 From  Miriam H : Don't turn off the aurora!  It's brilliant and puts me in a great mood!
10:51:16	 From  C.J. Hayden : Sandy, thanks for sharing that idea
10:51:36	 From  Michelle B : I’m a property manager and I’m thinking of deferring my fees to clients whose tenants haven’t been able to pay rent (which fortunately aren’t many).
10:51:56	 From  Kristine Carey : nice idea, michelle
10:51:56	 From  C.J. Hayden : Michelle, I think that's a lovely offer to make
10:52:41	 From  Kristine Carey : i've received several post cards, too, which is nice
10:52:42	 From  Brad S : Cathy - a bag of tea could also go nicely in mail 
10:53:46	 From  Kristine Carey : postagram is one I see for the iphone
10:53:57	 From  Kristine Carey : also send out cards & things of that nature
10:53:58	 From  Sara H : is there any way to get people’s snail mail addresses?  I typically only have email and phone for clients.
10:54:03	 From  Donna P : The company he is tallking about is Pixingo and there is also Send Out Cards.
10:54:36	 From  Cathy R : CJ and Kris, Here’s an Irish quote that sums up where we are now: “Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” Thank you for helping us learn to dance in the rain!
10:54:57	 From  C.J. Hayden : Love that, Cathy, you're welcome!
10:54:58	 From  Kristine Carey : thank you, cathy - what a great sentiment
10:55:08	 From  Sandy R : Vidyard is a terrific video email -- nice and personal -- to reach out with a nice message.
10:55:17	 From  Gene F : Twitter has a very strong following in Europe. Not so much in the US. At least that's been my experience.
10:55:34	 From  Kristine Carey : @craig - happy to answer your question offline if you'd like
10:55:55	 From  C.J. Hayden : #careers
10:56:05	 From  Kathy V : Twitter has a very strong presence in US with dozens of chats to participate in weekly for professionals across varying professions.
10:56:10	 From  C.J. Hayden : hashtagify.me
10:56:28	 From  Sara H : The is great!  Thank you CJ, Kris, and everyone.  I have to go to get ready for a call.
10:57:01	 From  Kristine Carey : thanks, sara - great to see you!
10:57:04	 From  Lis M : Can you delete all your old tweets??
10:58:07	 From  Kristine Carey : lis - we've taken down all the stuff to come
10:58:22	 From  Kristine Carey : not that stuff we've already published
10:58:46	 From  Robyn M : Thanks for stimulating my thinking. I so appreciate your generous sharing.
10:59:07	 From  Kristine Carey : you're welcome, Robyn :)) glad you were here
10:59:09	 From  Diana’s iPhone : could you share about your writing class
10:59:25	 From  Mary : Thanks to everyone for all this great info!  I have to jump off onto another call.
10:59:37	 From  Diana’s iPhone : do you talk about how to write to give value versus ‘talking at’
10:59:43	 From  Diana’s iPhone : thank you:-)
10:59:51	 From  Ed K : Thank you both! Leaving with lots of ideas.
11:00:00	 From  Kristine Carey : thx, ed!

11:00:41	 From  Diana’s iPhone : thank you:-)
11:01:03	 From  Ryan H : If you not spending on digital marketing now should you start? if you are should you stop? if you are should you increase?
11:01:14	 From  sean c : thank you cj and kristine!
11:01:22	 From  Caity M : Thanks so much! I lost my job yesterday, and had done get clients now, so good to re-engage with my marketing consulting practice with these good guidelines!
