This episode features an interview with Allison Breeding, CMO, Apptio, an IBM Company that provides data insights that empower leaders to make smarter financial and operational decisions. In this episode, Allison talks about shifts that have stuck around post-covid, getting really clear on personas, and pushing the envelope through experimentation. Key Takeaways:It's worth pushing the envelope and trying out-of-the-box approaches. If you're not pushing the boundaries a little bit, you're not trying hard enough. When the market is turbulent and shifting, you have to be able to adjust your value prop and positioning to endure. Apptio made a big shift into digital marketing during COVID. Then, when the market plunged after hitting a high, they were able to shift to allow for continued success. Focus groups, and feedback from partners, prospects and employees, can inform the direction that you need to go in and support your efforts to understand your value proposition. Quote: “We've been doing a lot of really fun kind of guerrilla, out of home concepts, outside of events. Getting our hands slapped every now and then, but that's okay. If we're not getting in trouble, we're not pushing the envelope enough. But yeah, we're kind of trying to own the spaces that people are kind of in the mindset of thinking about our product in. And so whether that's airports or outside of event venues, on taxi cabs, on trains, that sort of thing around the events that we're participating in.”Episode Timestamps:*(03:45) The Trust Tree: A bottom-up and top-down approach*(17:35) The Playbook: Spending money fast and utilizing events *(32:31): The Dust Up: Navigating the founders' mentality*(34:58) Quick Hits: Allison's Quick Hits  Sponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com, the #1 Conversational Marketing platform for companies that use Salesforce and the secret weapon for pipeline pros.

Feedback is the cornerstone of your practice's professional standing. Both patients and referring doctors actively search for reviews, underscoring the pivotal role that effective review management plays in shaping and maintaining your good reputation. Today, Jessie Pressman, the Head of Consulting at People + Practice, will impart crucial insights into navigating patient reviews. Drawing upon her extensive experience in overseeing the reputations of orthodontists, Jessie will provide proven strategies for addressing negative feedback and offer guidance on responding to positive reviews. And remember, for forward-thinking Orthos, there has never been a better time to be an Orthodontist. It's the Golden Age, so take advantage of it.   IN THIS EPISODE: [0:00] Dr Leon introduces today's topic: Managing Your Reviews with Jessie Pressman.  [3:06] Jessie explains how managing a practice's reputation has changed over the years and ways that you can collect positive feedback.  [7:04] Jessie discusses what strategy and approach she has made to the People + Practice Program and gives examples of how her approach has resolved issues.  [11:20] Jessie explains what to do and say when you get a negative review and why you never apologize.  [15:47] Jessie outlines the times you don't respond to a review and when to report them to Google.  [19:31] Jessie recommends some tips regarding getting reviews and responding to them.    KEY TAKEAWAYS:  [4:13] There are ways to collect positive feedback from your patients. The tip is to ask for a review. When someone is happy, they don't think of leaving a review. You have to ask by prompting the client for a review.  [4:53] Google is the search engine where you should spend your time and energy cultivating and responding to reviews. Facebook is no longer the preferred platform to use. Google is King. [14:10] There are legal reasons you should never apologize for a patient's bad experience in the office. Be very careful that you do not violate HIPAA laws.     RESOURCE LINKS People + Practice  - Website Leon - Email Amy - Email People + Practice - Email Jessie Pressman - Email People + Practice Blog - Jessie Pressman   BIOGRAPHY: NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- People + Practice LLC, a leading marketing agency specializing in strategic consulting and brand development for healthcare practices, is thrilled to announce the appointment of Jessie Pressman as Head of Consulting.

Prospective patients and referring doctors are looking at those. It's your name. So, there has been a spike in negativity, and we need to work to combat it.” Jessie Pressman “Another pro tip is to respond to the positive reviews. People love getting a response from you as a practice. It looks fabulous for prospective patients coming and looking at your page. Also, it's great for SEO. Again, we want to ensure that that is integrated into our marketing, which helps raise the profile.” Jessie Pressman

"Legacy. - Past, Present, Possibility" Greetings, Summit Leaders. Legacy is a word I repeatedly hear as I listen to new Summit leaders describe their vision and journey. "I think about my legacy all the time." Summit Leader "Work harder, smarter, and with more purpose than that person, I was yesterday. Live so that my legacy is qualified not by tangibles but by how many people, communities, and organizations I positively impact." Summit Leader Legacy building is an intentional and mindful focus on the opportunity and the responsibility you have to serve clients, family, colleagues, and community. In the process, growth and advancement occur by helping others. Serving is the motivation of great leaders. It is inspiring to see a generation of leaders focusing on discovering new ways of serving others. They start with small acts of kindness done well and without expectation of reward or recognition. It is always a good time to become a thoughtful legacy builder. The focus is on people and impact. A person may look back and say, "I have a terrible past of thinking only about myself and very little about serving." Our past is not a judge of our present or a predictor of our future impact. Remembering our origin, where we came from, reviewing our past helps us understand how to improve our behavior. The process shows us the pattern of our personal growth. We then learn from our past to become the kind of great leader we desire to become. "We are not satisfied simply with a review of the past. We add to it our vision of the future." Thomas J. Watson, Sr. "There's nothing you can do about the past. But you can do a great deal about your future. You don't have to be the same person you were yesterday. You can make changes in your life -- absolutely startling changes in a fairly short time. You can make changes you can't even conceive of now if you give yourself a chance." Jim Rohn Be strong and do not lose courage for there is a reward for your work. I am motivated by new Summits to become a legacy builder. They encourage me to believe because they refer to our company's culture and its' people. For them, like their forerunners, culture is everything. "I started building my legacy when I was sixteen years old. My goal was to become an IBMer. I plan on being here a long time." New Summit Leader. The Summit Leaders help me see that our legacy is not bound by age or time served. Our body of work with clients, community, colleagues, and family best represents a legacy. Legacy building and vision create a possibility for greatness in all leaders. "The greatest satisfaction and pleasure that I have in this business is sending you out to all corners of the world, taking with you The IBM Company, because I know that you are going to represent it in the way we want it represented. I appreciate that more than anything else in connection with our institution." Thomas J. Watson, Sr. "They judge our company and our ideals by you." Thomas J. Watson, Sr. Now is the opportunity to build. Each day, we ask ourselves, "Did I help someone today? Did I make my time count?" Great leaders of all ages, make it their goal, to answer these questions with "Yes!" Victory!

Everybody company wants it, but not every company gets it. In fact, of the tens of thousands of companies out there, few ever quite get to say that they've truly got a world class team. Anybody can hire world class talent, but it takes a special organization to ensure all of that world class talent seamlessly and cohesively forms into a world class team. So what does it take? Humans are the users of all of the technology that your company puts out there. They're the ones that are making emotional, and not always rational decisions around every part of a business. We forget about the human needs of our customers. It's been said time and time again that people respond to people. People respond to emotion, which is why your marketing campaigns should be focused on the humanity of your customers. The heart of your customers.
