Go from Meeting with People to Meeting More Meaningfully with People.

Read the Latest Hoopis article from Trisha

It’s one thing to meet people, and it’s another thing to meet with people, but it’s a whole other ball game when you can meet meaningfully with people.

I was reminded of this a couple of weeks ago when I was getting an annual physical. I’ve been going to the same doctor for years but it took me 4 – 5 visits to figure out that we have the same conversation every year! It occurred to me that he must have a bullet list of 3 – 4 conversation reminders in my folder that he revisits every year and, now that I’ve realized it, I find I dread the conversation because I feel like I’m stuck in the old Bill Murray film, Ground Hog Day.

10 Step Mktg. Checklist

Read the Latest Hoopis article from Trisha

Take your eye off the calendar for a second and then look again. We’re in the 2nd quarter!

No matter. Recessions come and go and we keep moving. But, now that we’ve come to learn that we’ve been in a post-recession economy for over a year already, what did we learn from living through it? One of the most interesting take-aways is noting which types of companies in various markets get a passing grade in the latest recession.
