Marketing Minute: Regina Howland

Regina posed the question, “Are you relevant?”. She listed some example questions to consider:

1. Are you marketing to yourself?

2. What if my generation/age/culture/beliefs is my target audience? — then…Are you keeping up with your target audience? (Think marketing using Michael Jordan!)

3. What is my outdatedness communicating to my target audience?

Regina provided a solid list of actionable steps and even added a couple of bonus resources in her blog post!

Presenter: Sara Cousins

While she has no plans on stepping away from continuing to handle the room setup and following one of her favorite sayings “Sharing is caring”, Sara wants to make sure no one is left in the dark if they show up some Tuesday morning to an empty room.

In this spirit of giving, Sara treated the group with a fascinating presentation on setting up the room for NRG’s weekly meetings, with an emphasis on the tech/AV steps.

Are you familiar with the 3 C’s of networking? According to The British School of Excellence, they are:

1. Connection: Building genuine relationships

2. Communication: Articulating value through conversation

3. Collaboration: Working together for mutual benefit.

This framework focuses on fostering, rather than just collecting, contacts for long-term career or business success.
