Digg it UP - Brain Storming with MindMapper
Everybody cringes at the thought of the raise in cost of stamps every couple of years. Indeed people also cringe at the amount of junk mail they get each day. It is therefore necessary for the United States Post Office to maintain a great public relations strategy.The sponsorship of the Tour de France with Lance Armstrong certainly made brownie points but what can the USPS do long-term to bolster their community goodwill in cities across the nation? Well consider if you will the participation in a Neighborhood Mobile Watch Program. Why you ask? Simple consider how the USPS operates for a moment if you will.UNITED STATES POST OFFICE: Normally the USPS will not put stickers on their LLVs (Long Life Vehicles) but the contract carriers who deliver the mail to their post office will. Also think about the number of mail vehicles? They will participate and you can have your local community police person contact the postmaster and set up a 30 minute meeting to explain to the carriers the importance of t

I got more calls yesterday than I have in weeks and from real people too. Holiday weeks are when smart marketing takes place. Chances are you will get to talk to someone for the following reasons:People are in a good mood - Its the holidays; People are in their offices instead of traveling; People aren't engaged in serious work because its the holidays; People feel more giving of their time and resources.So who took the time and called me this week? Three new clients who wanted to expand their personal brands. 4 people who read my latest article and wanted to know more. Two companies who wanted to hire me as an expert. And 'piece de resistance'... An interview as an expert for the Faith Popcorn BrainReserveNow this isn't ego talking its a demonstration of a carefully orchestrated plan. It was by no means my first article and I get considerable response every week. This week's issue "Does your packaging, UMM, Smell?" brought considerable comment both pro and
Brainstorming has in the past been viewed negatively. All that paper stuck over walls, PC's Fridges and any where else we can think of to "jog our memories" or when plan those simple or complex tasks from grocery shopping to increasing sales by 10% all with illegible notes with no structure or direction to them.
You spend many hours of planning something individually or in those dreaded business meeting of which most never gets achieved no matter how good the suggestions or ideas they get lost in translation with no real document process in place.
To some degree we all know brainstorming and what it is but nearly 95% of people or businesses do not know how to document it or the best way to use and place those ideas into there plans or business.
However effective brainstorming can increase productivity by making valuable breakthroughs from all involved.
When you have people bouncing ideas around that can be captured and filtered in an easy visual format you will guarantee higher productivity and ultimately profits with simple techniques that will create a feeling the whole team is involved and see in plain visual format exactly what needs doing to achieve those results.
The Usual approach to Brainstorming:
We have all used them! those darn post it notes, flip charts and huge white boards that look like road kill once we have poured our ideas out all over them. Very cumbersome that requires hours afterward to be properly understood and concluded thats why many brainstorming sessions fail!!. Despite all those "power ideas" being discussed there is rarely the follow up done and the key actions never jumped on resulting with ideas forgotten.

Do you want to be a networking leader who's loved and respected... or one that's loathed and feared? If you answered yes to answer A, then it's time you started showing people the mirror.Show them the mirror, what's that mean? It means thinking of other people's egos before your own. Because, after all, that's what really secure people do."Showing them the mirror" is basically this: when someone looks at you, reflect them back at themselves. Showing the mirror means remembering small details about people in your networking travels... and bestowing heartfelt compliments whenever you can.The fact is, folks are dragging their weary selves around, trying to look chipper and wondering if they're worth a flying fart or if it's all an illusion or what. If you want to be a good leader, it's your job to remind them of their worthiness. So next time you want to sing and shout your own praises, don't do it. Even if you accomplished something unbelievably great... keep it to yourself for now.
