26:45
Great to know! Thanks for sharing that Dennis

27:11
You're welcome!

27:20
Thanks Dennis!

27:26
FYI, the link from the confirmation emails and event pages does not seem to be working properly.

28:05
yeah I realized that and had to get in from the zoom website

28:12
Thanks for letting us know! Our marketing team will check it out

28:21
Thanks Chris for letting us know.

28:35
I think it’s because there’s a space in the link before the text starts...

28:53
FYI I also had to get creative to join, email link and eventbrite links did not work, only manually entering on zoom worked…

29:29
I had to enter the meeting number manually

helpful - thanks for the link!

36:49
Thank you

37:01
Thanks!

38:04
what is the name of the book?

39:20
Will the value proposition allow you to look at the impact beyond making money. Many of my clients desire to have greater impact in their roles/influence etc.

39:21
@Rich — I’ll get the name of the book and put it in the chat with a link before the end … I think it was What it takes to win with customers, but I want to find a link to send everyone

39:50
@tracey — yes, your value proposition will have more depth if it has more meaning than just $

40:28
The pain you solve for your customers will be money and other key things they want to do

42:22
If we don’t get the name of the book in the chat during the meeting we’ll send it in the follow up email

45:26
Here’s the name of the book that Doug mentioned: "What it Takes to Win with Customers," -D. Keith Pigues

45:47
Thank you

45:59
Here’s the Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Winning-Customers-Playbook-Keith-Pigues-ebook/dp/B0041D8VAS

Winning with Customers - A Playbook for B2B

46:33
thank you!

48:07
Thanks!

48:18
You’re welcome!

49:24
For Doug: What about B2C businesses. When it isn’t about the customer making more money, then is it how we can save them time or another valuable component.

49:47
Strong customer relationships — truly understanding them

52:39
From Doug: @diane With B2C, understand what your customers value (time savings, convenience, etc). and how you can help them achieve more of it with your product/service

53:48
Simon Sinek’s Why TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/simon_sinek_how_great_leaders_inspire_action?language=en

53:58
From Doug: @diane How do you "grow" with the customer in the future?

54:48
Yes thanks @Doug.

55:39
How do you determine if it is adding value? Is it just asking customers? @doug

59:19
How do people find other people willing to talk if we don’t know Vickie or someone like Vickie. How do we find these groups

59:21
Training for Change has great tools. I’ve been doing a lot of facilitation and converting all of my tools over to a virtual platform and helps to facilitate greater collaboration

59:35
Ooh thanks Tracey

59:35
Go Vickie! Glad you’re bringing all these great minds together.

01:00:01
@Dana, considering so many companies are pivoting to digital marketing strategies, how can a business cut through the noise to make a stronger impact without having to spend additional money on boosting their content?

01:00:14
That's awesome, Tracey. Thanks for sharing!

01:01:00
We are considering putting together an online community where we can enable people to connect in some way … when you fill out your post-survey. After this please mention those needs so we can assess demand

01:01:15
Ok thanks

01:02:29
Also - on May 21st, the Navigating the Great Pause is going to be a short large program and then we are going to break out everyone into smaller work groups to have smaller discussions with an expert. Please come to that one!

01:02:48
@jonathancollins maybe doing a post that is made up of 5 -10 other experts in your field, then the boost is organic. Brian Harper could talk more about this with you and how it can boost your SEO.

Association collaboration are HUGE during this time, especially in healthcare for supplies, best practices, advocacy, etc. Makes your ask and resources so much larger.

Heard a great quote, to the effect that we're all in the same storm, but not all in the same boat. Everyone is experiencing this in personal ways and perspectives, listening and empathy are key. Some have physical or mental health concerns, some have financial hardships, everyone is impacted, but not all the same way.

01:09:42
@Sherrie — great quote!

01:09:48
