All good things come to an end. Or at least have the Pause button pushed.<br />
<br />
So it is with this podcast as well.<br />
<br />
Producing a podcast takes time and energy. We knew that going in. However, our schedules have conspired against us and we find ourselves needing to focus our attentions elsewhere. For the moment, any road.<br />
<br />
Will the podcast return? We can't say it won't, but we don't want to give false hope either.<br />
<br />
For now, we'd just like to say "Thank you" to you for taking the time to listen to the podcast. We truly appreciate that you did. It means more to us than you can ever imagine. You star.<br />

Do you need to be online?<br />
<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
After all, we managed to survive without the internet for centuries. People were contented. Businesses succeeded.<br />
<br />
In this episode, Jane and Roger talk about how we still need to be active offline to make our online work.<br />

We welcome April Ennis to the podcast. She graciously stepped in when Roger was unavailable recently.<br />
<br />
Jane and April talk about finding the right clients for you. Rather than chase everyone, they discuss the idea of seeking out a well-defined client who suits your needs and who will enable you to do the very best work you can.<br />

Listener Marti Konstant put us on the spot. She asked what it means to be genuinely attractive in business today. What is the podcast about?<br />
<br />
Good question and it lead to a lively conversation in this episode of the podcast.<br />

A year ago, Jane and Roger didn't know each other. The first time they had any real contact was during Jane's first run over <a href="http://www.45conversations.com/" target="_blank">45 Conversations</a> recordings.<br />
<br />
Twelve months later Jane is connecting with the original 45 people she spoke to. So we decided to incorporate her round 2 conversation with Roger into an episode of Business Jazz.<br />

<a href="http://www.lizstrauss.com/" target="_blank">Liz Strauss</a> is a remarkable lady. She has touched the lives of many and helped them to improve their businesses and their quality of life. She's maybe best known on this podcast as one of the people behind SOBCon, a series of deep-dive online business conferences.<br />
<br />
Liz has been ill. Those four words barely capture the hardship she's endured over the last year. In addition to ravaging her body, her illness has left her unable to work in the face of mounting medical bills.<br />
<br />
What happened next is quite remarkable. Listen to find out.<br />

<i><b>TOPICS THIS WEEK: Being authentic as a marketing tool</b></i><br />
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
</div>
Authenticity is a big buzzword in content marketing at the moment. The question is, how authentic should you be?<br />
<br />
A second issue concerns how much you push your successes over your failures. Some of us are only really comfortable presenting a facade of wild success to the outside world. Yet in doing so we run the risk of not connecting properly with our audience. Nobody only experiences good things in their lives. Often revealing some setbacks or missteps make us seem more human and accessible. On the flipside, revealing business struggles can put off clients.<br />
<br />
Plenty of connundrums there.<br />

</div>
One way to be attractive in business is to help others achieve their goals. The bigger and crazier the ambition, the more appealing you can become by helping to achieve it. Or do you?<br />
<br />
While everyone wants to be associated with success, what are the pitfalls of associating yourself with an endeavour that fails? Is that good for a business? Does that make it genuinely attractive or the opposite?<br />
<br />
We explore these questions in this episode of Business Jazz.<br />

<div style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px;">
</div>
The biggest threat we used to be able to make when we received bad service was to write a letter. That was utterly ineffectual in most cases. The letter was conveniently filed in the bin. Things have changed a bit. These days we can publicise our anger (or our delight) online.<br />
<br />
But have companies woken up to this? Many haven't.<br />
<br />
Social media is a great opportunity for businesses to engage with dissatisfied and satisfied customers alike. The latter is especially overlooked. Many companies are missing a fantastic marketing opportunity by not encouraging pleased customers to use social media.<br />
<br />
In this episode, we run through some stories of good and bad service, and how the companies involved responded.<br />

Gary Vaynerchuk is a visionary social media expert and entrepreneur. He recently announced that he had tasked one of his staff to shadow him and produce social media content based on his comments. His thinking is that more content equals more exposure, and more exposure brings more business.</div>

In this week's episode of Business Jazz, we talk about some of the issues this raises. Specifically, we look at access and boundaries. Many businesses are wary of letting people in. They aren't comfortable lifting the veil. So how much access is good?</div>
<div data-mce-style="margin: 0px; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
<br /></div>
<div data-mce-style="margin: 0px; font-family: Times; font-size: medium;">
We also look at the issue of setting boundaries for employees who are producing social media on behalf of a business. Trust and responsibility become big factors.<br />

</div>
Part of running a business and being an entrepreneur is trying new things.<br />
<br />
We're all about connecting with our community on this podcast. We think the most successful businesses are the ones that engage well with their target market. They build communities.<br />
<br />
In this week's episode, we talk about changing the podcast to allow us to engage better and more directly with our listeners. In fact, we're thinking about how you can participate in the actual recording of the podcast. One way of doing that is using Google+.<br />
<br />
Our conversation leads us to discuss how audiences and companies find each other and how they build relationships. Rather than trying to please everyone all of the time, the better strategy is to please a smaller subset of people who really get your business.<br />
<br />
That involves taking a leap of faith. Risk is part of finding your true audience.<br />

<i><b>TOPICS THIS WEEK: Customer Service</b></i><br />
<br />
In this episode, we get into a conversation about customer service.<br />
<br />
Roger's website was recently killed stone dead by a rogue squirrelly bracket (<span style="font-size: large;">{</span>). Unfortunately, the web hosting company didn't make tackling this issue very simple. Listener Dean Read also has a sorry story to tell about replacing a wheel on his car.<br />
<br />
Jane relates a story from the other side of the spectrum. Her experience of WestJet. Which prompts Roger to retell a story he heard once heard from the remarkable Dinah Liversidge.<br />

<i><b>TOPICS THIS WEEK: Fear, Firewalking, The Flinch by Julien Smith, SOBCon, Social Media Camp</b></i><br />
<br />
Fear is a powerful hurdle we all have to overcome in life. Often, the fear wins out and we don't negotiate the hurdle. Our lives end up poorer for it. We don't progress.<br />
<br />
So what can we do to overcome this fear? We discuss solutions ranging from fire walking to smashing plates.<br />
<br />
Fear is also a great ingredient in the story of our business. Admitting the fears we have and the hurdles we have to overcome, along with our doubts, makes us human. It makes it easy for others to connect with what we want to achieve. They start rooting for us and following our story.<br />

<br />
<i><b>TOPICS THIS WEEK: Shipping imperfection; Being unique and marketing that; Working from Sheds</b></i><br />
<br />
Perfection is key to success in business, right? Your product needs to be perfect to survive in the marketplace. If it isn't, your clients won't like it. Your competitors will steamroller over you.<br />
<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
Maybe not. Just how perfect should perfection be? There is a point at which perfection is a killer. You keep delaying shipping. Remember that a project that is 95% done, but hasn't shipped, is as good as 0% complete from the perspective of the marketplace. And a 0% product or services isn't attractive at all.<br />
<br />
This week we look at perfection in business and how you don't always need to deliver perfection. In fact, have a listen to this episode of Chris Brogan's podcast in which he interviews Paul: <a href="http://humanbusinessworks.com/radioshow/10omahonychlanda/" target="_blank">The Human Business Way, Episode 10.</a><br />
<br />
The conversation about perfection or imperfection turns to office space. Jane has moved into a shed. Sounds odd? Turns out working from sheds isn't uncommon. In fact, it's quite popular: <a href="http://www.shedworking.co.uk/" target="_blank">Shed Working</a>.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Jane at work in the Leaning Shed of Near Vancouver (herded cat in attendance)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
We also look at how you market the mundane compared with marketing the new and unique. You'd think the latter would be easier. It isn't necessarily. After all, you have to overcome people's unfamiliarity with the product and service. How can they buy what they don't know or understand, especially if it pushes the envelop?<br />
<br />
That also impacts you. If you're doing something new, how do you describe yourself?<br />

Many good stories share a common storytelling device: an epic challenge that the protagonist must overcome. The story of your business is also about overcoming challenges. You are on a quest – a quest to grow your business, launch your product, reach your targets. The higher you intend to reach, the more epic the quest, the more we are drawn to it. You are the underdog we are cheering on.<br />
<br />
We've set some epic challenges for this podcast, and we'd like you to be part of the quest. Join us on the journey and help us build the bright, giving, supportive, valuable community we have in mind.<br />
<br />
What are the challenges we've set? You'll have to listen to this week's episode for that. You'll hear how many weekly downloads we'd like to hit by 31st December of this year. You'll also hear of an epic geographic goal as well.<br />

<br />
In this episode of the podcast, we look at the power of asking directly for help – from your support community and from your clients and customers. Sometimes you need to seek out help, sometimes an offer of help drops in your lap. In the case of the latter, we often let the moment slip because we're not ready. That's happened to all of us. So how can you make sure that next time you're ready?<br />
<br />
We also lift the veil on where the podcast is at the moment and start to reveal where we'd like to go with it. Community is key to the future of the show and to grow it we need the help of you, our listeners.<br />
<br />
One of the things we've wanted to do for a while is start a group on LinkedIn. It's there now. We'd love it if you stopped by and joined the community: <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=4952075&trk=myg_ugrp_ovr" target="_blank">Business Jazz LinkedIn Group</a>.<br />

What's the Grind?<br />
<br />
The grind comprises all those things that you don't really like doing but are essential to the health and success of your business. The boring, dull, hard, difficult, tedious stuff that underpins the success of your business.<br />

Can you build a sustainable business based on providing services for free? Counter-intuitive as it seems, there are people doing just that. And they're making good money. Messes with your head, doesn't it?<br />
<br />
In this episode of the podcast, <a href="http://www.boydjane.ca/" target="_blank">Jane</a> and <a href="http://www.rogeroverall.net/" target="_blank">Roger</a> discuss various business models based on the notion of giving away work for free or leaving the decision on the level of compensation up to the client.<br />

This podcast is a collaboration of people dotted around the world. Most of us have never met each other. It's quite a story and it's still evolving.

We have a tradition here at Business Jazz of recording a segment of audio around the main podcast, usually afterwards. Sometimes we forget. This was one of those times.<br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277859555468586292.post-23973918904810830832013-03-15T02:18:00.001-07:002013-03-15T02:18:13.740-07:00Business Jazz - 15th March 2013 - How Do You Treat Your Own Suppliers?<center>
<iframe height="450" scrolling="no" src="http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2251164/height/450/width/450/theme/legacy/direction/no/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/" style="border: none;" width="450"></iframe></center>
<br />
<br />
We're all part of a chain. Not only are we suppliers of products and services to our own clients, we are buyers too; we are clients ourselves. That raises a question: Do you treat your own suppliers as well as you would like to be treated by your clients?<br />
<br />
One thing that can strain the supplier-client relationship is bad communication. It leads inevitably to misunderstandings and stresses. <a href="http://www.boydjane.ca/" target="_blank">Jane</a> and <a href="http://www.rogeroverall.net/" target="_blank">Roger</a> look at examples from their own experience in business of where communication went wrong – sometimes by accident, sometimes maybe more intentionally.<br />
<br />
They also look at the benefits of ensuring that client-supplier relationships are good, particularly if you are on the client side of the equation.<br />
<br />
As an aside, Jane has launched her new website. You can find out what she does in more detail over at <a href="http://www.boydjane.ca/">www.boydjane.ca</a>.<br />

<br />
We've talked a lot on the podcast about how putting the emphasis on your customers and clients is a cornerstone of being attractive as a business. <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/" target="_blank">Chris Brogan</a> highlights the perspective of "You" (the customer) rather than "Me" (the business) in marketing. We buy into that. You probably do too if you're a regular listener of the podcast.<br />
<br />
In this week's episode, <a href="http://www.45conversations.com/" target="_blank">Jane</a> and <a href="http://www.thedigitalstoryteller.net/" target="_blank">Roger</a> discuss the opposite approach – just talking about yourself. This works well for a large number of businesses, and you'll hear that there are some clear benefits.<br />
<br />
It makes us wonder whether Chris is wrong. Or is it a case that both approaches work and that you have to find the one that fits best with who you are?<br />

<br />
Change is unsettling. We grow comfortable with things the way they are. When they shift an inch, we feel the movement as if it were a mile.<br />
<br />
Regular listeners will have noticed changes in the podcast this week. The intro, the tone, the focus.<br />
<br />
That's a lot to take in.<br />
<br />
If you've listened to the podcast already, we hope you understand why we've tinkered with the formula. If you haven't yet. Here's a quick overview.<br />
<br />
While we know Paul will return, we don't know when. All we know is that it will be a while yet. When he does, you'll hear three voices host the podcast – Jane is staying on. With that in mind, it was appropriate to change the intro to include the three of us.<br />
<br />
The second change is that we are weaning ourselves off <a href="http://www.chrisbrogan.com/" target="_blank">Chris Brogan</a>. He was our genesis, our original inspiration, and won't be forgotten, but there are other great thought leaders in business to look at as well. Besides, who can speak in detail better about what Chris Brogan is thinking – us or Chris himself? So, we're broadening our horizons. We don't stray too far in this episode, though. Podcast regular <a href="http://www.aj-leon.com/" target="_blank">AJ Leon</a> gets a big mention.<br />
<br />
<h3>This week</h3><br />
In this week's episode, <a href="http://www.thedigitalstoryteller.net/" target="_blank">Roger</a> and <a href="http://www.45conversations.com/" target="_blank">Jane</a> look at AJ raised big bucks using Kickstarter to publish a book. Roger tells of <a href="http://www.petercox.ie/" target="_blank">Peter Cox</a>, an Irish landscape photographer, who had equal success.<br />

We have a tradition here at Business Jazz of recording a segment of audio around the main podcast, usually afterwards. This week, we skipped it. We'd already recorded four takes of the episode proper, so we were pretty much done. We'll be back next week with the after podcast.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
