We made it! It is Thanksgiving week! It is a time when our attention turns from prospecting, getting contracts approved, and goal setting; and instead turns to figuring out how we can slip away after lunch on Wednesday so to travel over the river and to the woods to grandmother’s house for Thanksgiving Eve dinner. This will be followed by you hosting the other family on Thanksgiving Thursday. Friday, work may cross your mind for a brief second as you are hoping the talent showed up to the early morning remote for your client, but your attention is back on your friends and family as you brave the crowds to get that Star Wars or Paw Patrol toy for a few dollars off.  Then the weekend is filled with more family and friends and will fly by all-too-fast. Facebook will be filled with warm wishes for friends, real and virtual, and family holiday traditions will be the focus.

Which One of These CRMs is Not Like The Others? (Hint, It Is the One That Adds in the Fun…)

It’s our industry’s trade show time again, and for many of you, you might be the sole representative from your stations or even your group. You may be on a mission to find a new vendor. You may be having a meeting of the minds with others in your group. You may be going to learn about new programs or ways of making money. Whatever your reason, your success can boil down to a couple of key tips:

When I was a kid, cartoon detective Dick Tracy had a watch that did more than told them time. It was a two way transmitter of ever-increasing levels of information! Years later, I checked out the bag phone for remotes so we were not dependent on a land-line; and when I got the phone installed in my car, the relative immediacy of talking to clients while not tethered at the station was so technologically advanced!

As 2014 opened, we at Efficio were excited to share our newest version – Effico 5.0! Not only was the look and feel changed to be cleaner and more up-to-date, the navigation was streamlined, inputting pending was simplified, and the result was a more user friendly experience. We were well-aware how many people react to change, so we have been thrilled with the overwhelming embracing of Efficio 5.0! As we have traveled to markets from Raleigh to Washington and from Detroit to Dallas, we have been met with smiles and nodding heads as we rolled out the new Effico 5.0. Positive feedback has been overwhelming and we are thrilled that our customers are so happy!
