How to get more 1:1 clients If you're here for the business side of things, then go ahead and join my free on demand workshop, Your Biz | Your Way - 3 steps to build a profitable online health and fitness biz And while you're on the site, snag all the free resources - you'll find goodies for trainees and coaches or entrepreneurs alike. Much love. In Q1 and Q2 my FitsPRO's and 1:1 biz clients have had great success with securing more 1:1 roster spots. It's something that is likely needed if you're starting or growing in the online space of health and fitness. We typically start with a 1:1 offer because of a few things, which I've mentioned before: 1:1 is often the highest ticket offer - meaning we can secure solid income from the get goIt requires a smaller audience size - you can only take on so many 1:1 clients. Let's say you need to fill 10 spots. That's probably easier, even at a higher price point, with an audience of 300 people in comparison to filling 100 20 day challenge spots. You see?1:1 allows us to refine our processes - both in the onboarding and marketing space, as well as the actual process we want our clients through.Lastly, 1:1 allows us to get great testimonies and feedback.And bonus - gaining experience with our 1:1 ideal clients, allows us to see what gaps need to be filled, and who those gaps are for. So that, when the time comes to scale, we can create supporting offers. Or, of course, you can simply hire more coaches and fill more 1:1 spots. Or both. So, there are some reasons that we typically start with 1:1 training in the online space before creating courses, or group programs. Though, nothing is required. As always. Now we answer the question of how you actually FILL these 1:1 spots. For some context, I am not speaking in terms of a hard open and close launch. You've opened 1:1 spots, and you're consistently trying to bring in more applicants. That's the scenario I am referring to throughout this episode. Okay? Picture painted. First off, this assumes you have a landing page with an application in place - this application obviously needs to make clear to you if this person is a good fit for 1:1. That's up to you and the questions you ask. You can then schedule a sales call, or skip the sales call, send a contract, they pay and sign up. With the latter, I often think a proper sales page is needed - sales pages simply cover what is often covered in a sales call, right? Who it's for, how you function, your philosophy, the result, expectations, etc - all to figure out if it's a good fit for the prospect client. Once all of this in place, let's get more clients. It is my belief that if your roster isn't full, it's your fault. Meaning - you either aren't selling enough, you're selling in the wrong place, your messaging is off, or a combination of these three. This is just my belief, take it for what it's worth. Thus, we fill more spots through:-Selling more often-Polling your audience-Making it easy & clear for the client Let's break these down. Selling more often. With my 1:1 biz clients, this always comes as a silly surprise. Not always, but more often than not, when we schedule their sales frequency (2-3 times per week at least), the applications start rolling in. Go figure. We can't expect applications every time you mention your service, but you DO need to talk about your service and tell people to apply OFTEN. LIKE REALLY OFTEN. And here's the deal - before you say “I don't want to feel like I'm always selling or bombarding people.” …I get that. No one likes to be bombarded either. When I walk into a store, I don't want Shelly all up in my face before I've had a chance to look around. Let a woman BREATHE. But keep in mind, you're posting on Instagram, sending weekly emails, and showing up in your stories FAR MORE frequently than you're selling. And not every person opens every email or sees every social media post (referring mos...

The three are related, of course. There's no reward in the stock market without taking on some risk – and penny stocks offer investors an optimum combination of both. The ‘pennies' are the lowest cost stocks on the public markets, typically priced below $5 per share. At such a low share price, even a small gain – a share price increase of mere pennies – can quickly translate into a high-percentage return. However, there is a but here. The critics point out that there could be a reason for the bargain price tag, whether it be poor fundamentals or overpowering headwinds. So, how are investors supposed to determine which penny stocks are poised to make it big? Following the activity of the investing titans is one strategy. Enter Israel “Izzy” Englander, who is widely known for his impressive stock picking abilities. Englander expressed interest in the stock market since he was young, and in 1989, co-founded hedge fund Millennium Management with Ronald Shear. Using a broad range of strategies involving a variety of predominantly liquid asset classes, Englander was able to take the $35 million the fund was started with and turn it into a $45+ billion Wall Street behemoth. With an estimated net worth of $9.6 billion in 2021, it's no wonder Wall Street focus locks in on the guru when he makes a move. Taking all of this into consideration, we used TipRanks' database to take a closer look at two penny stocks Englander snapped up recently. The platform revealed that both Buy-rated tickers have earned the support of some members of the analyst community as well. T2 Biosystems (TTOO) We'll start in the healthcare industry, where T2 Biosystems is working to revolutionize diagnostics. The company offers diagnosticians and medical labs a range of devices based on its T2 Magnetic Resonance (T2MR) tech to quickly and accurately diagnosis a variety of septic illnesses. As the company notes, sepsis claims more lives annually than AIDS, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is the key for patient survival, and this is the niche that T2 aims to fill. The company's technology enables diagnostic blood tests with results available in a matter of hours, compared to the 1 to 5 days currently taken by most medical lab tests. Available testing products include the T2Bacteria Panel and the T2Candida panel, which are the only FDA-approved blood tests for septic agents that do not need to wait for a blood culture. A T2SARS-CoV-2 Panel is also available, using upper respiratory samples. T2 has an active product pipeline, with rapid diagnostic tests on the drawing board for a variety of illnesses. Upcoming products include the T2Cauris panel and the T2Resistance panel. These testing products are currently designated for research use only (ROU) in the US. The T2Lyme panel, which will allow for faster diagnosis of the difficult-to-determine Lyme disease, is at an earlier stage of the development. All of T2's products operate on the same T2Dx instrument, allowing for interchangeability in the lab environment. The device offers a simple user interface, and operates with just 4ml of whole blood. T2 boasts that its device is in use in more than 200 hospitals worldwide. In the first quarter of 2021, T2 saw top-line revenue grow by 173% year-over-year, to $7 million. This was driven by a 345% yoy increase in product revenue, to $4.7 million. Sepsis test utilization in the US rose by 85% yoy in the quarter, showing increasing acceptance of the device and technology. Izzy Englander is among those that have high hopes for this healthcare name. In Q1, Englander's Millennium picked up over 1.36 million shares of TTOO stock, now valued at $1.5 million. This increased Englander's stake in the company to 2.68 million shares, with a market value of $2.9 million. 5-star analyst Charles Duncan, of Canaccord, also counts himself as a fan. Duncan gives TTOO shares a Buy rating along with a $3.50 price target. This target conveys his confidence in TTOO's ability to soar 212% higher in the next twelve months. (To watch Duncan's track record, click here) “T2's +345% Y/Y product revenue growth is a positive datapoint for the company's post-pandemic commercial strategy, which is being supported by a scaling to just under 10 direct sales reps in Q1. We view the acquisitions of Cepheid, BioFire, GenMark, and Luminex as validation that the hospital lab is an attractive industry segment, given clinicians' (and patients') desire to shift away from centralized testing strategies to a more decentralized approach. With these four companies off the table, T2 should benefit from scarcity value. Separately, a more aggressive approach towards commercial execution should marry well with rising awareness around antimicrobial resistance and sepsis, in a post-pandemic environment that prioritizes infectious disease diagnostics," Duncan noted. It turns out that other analysts also have high hopes. With 4 Buys and a single Hold, the word on the Street is that this stock, which currently going for $1.10 apiece, is a Strong Buy. In addition, the $2.83 average price target puts the upside potential at 156%. (See TTOO stock analysis on TipRanks) Sesen Bio (SESN) The second stock we're looking at, Sesen Bio, is a pharmaceutical company. Sesen works in the cancer treatment segment, developing antibody-drug conjugate therapies. The program takes a fusion protein approach, tethering tumor-targeting antibodies to cytotoxic proteins. The result is a single protein molecule that kills cancer cells with minimal toxic effects on the body – and that generates a complementary response from the patient's natural immune system. Sesen's pipeline currently includes one drug candidate, vicineum, which is under investigation on several tracks concurrently. The main track, which has completed clinical trials and initiated the submission process of the biologic license application (BLA), is for the treatment of non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. The BLA was accepted for filing by the FDA this past February, and the company is on track for potential approval on August 18, 2021. European approval of vicineum for bladder cancer treatment is expected early in 2022. The company's other pipeline projects are at earlier stages. Vicineum is under investigation as a treatment for head and neck cancers, and is in Phase 2 trials. Other investigative tracks remain at pre-clinical stages. Clinical-stage biopharma companies are always highly speculative, and in this case, Englander did not mind speculating. In Q1, his firm bought 987,926 shares of SESN, increasing its stake in the company by 156%. Englander's holding in Sesen is now valued at $2.9 million. Weighing in on SESN for H.C. Wainwright, 5-star analyst Swayampakula Ramakanth sees an opportunity as well. "Given the favorable risk/benefit profile of Vicineum demonstrated in the Phase 3 VISTA study, we believe the drug has a high likelihood to receive regulatory approvals from the FDA and EMA. Sesen is actively preparing for the potential launch of Vicineum. The company has selected Syneos, a leading contract sales organization, as a partnerto build and manage a 35-people sales force to target approximately 2,000 high prescribers of BCG. We expect the drug to be commercially available immediately upon approval. We project Vicineum to achieve risk-adjusted sales of $516M by 2030E, growing from $9M in 2021E," Ramakanth opined. Ramakanth's comments support his Buy rating on the stock, as does his $8 price target. At current valuations, that target implies an upside potential of 170% for the next 12 months. (To watch Ramakanth's track record, click here) Sometimes, the penny stocks can slide under the radar; this one has attracted only two recent analyst reviews. Both agree, however, that this is a stock to buy, making the Moderate Buy consensus unanimous. The shares are priced at $2.94 with a $7.50 average price target that suggests an upside of 155% in the coming year.

In Q1/2020, the world turned upside down.  Covid-19 was spreading around the ----more----world.  Businesses, Schools, Social Events, Communities went into various types of shut down.  Work from home, Distancing, PPE became part of our lexicon. This didn't mean businesses shut down, they just changed.  For sales people, it changed not only where we worked, but how we worked--with our customers and with each other. We adopted new methods and tools to work with our customers.  Customer engagement and selling started going virtual.  We leveraged traditional tools, the telephone, email, text, Slack, social networking and other technologies.  We leveraged newer video technologies like Zoom, Teams, collaborative white boarding and other tools. But sales success, customer and employee engagement is much more than just the tools.  It's about connecting with people in new ways. Every organization is learning what this means and how to effectively sell.  Join me as I talk to Lisa Pope, Executive Vice President of Americas Sales for Epicor.  We had a fascinating conversation about how her team adapted, what they've learned, and where they are going.

Hello and welcome back to ThoughtBubble where Jonny and Brady, two University students, break down some highlights on what's going on around the world. We talk politics/global news, business finance and spend some time debating over controversial questions. Apparently it is now illegal to share photographs of police in France anymore. Protests have erupted in France in response to the passing of this new security bill. Janet Yellen was appointed America's next treasury secretary, making her arguably one of the most powerful women in the world. Salesforce looks to acquire Slack, Palantir shares soar up early this week, and we look at the curious case of credit card fraud. With e-commerce on the rise, credit card frauds are going up too. In Q1 2020, credit card fraud reports were up 104% from 2019. (From Q1 2018 to 2019, reports rose just 25%.)

Wall Street indices ended lower overnight after US President Donald Trump announced on Twitter that he had halted negotiations for additional stimulus until after the election. Consequently, the Dow fell 1.34 per cent, the S&P 500 lost 1.4 per cent,  and the Nasdaq dropped 1.57 per cent. Yesterday, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell warned that the world’s largest economy was in for a weak recovery without more fiscal support. Central bank watchers will get a more detailed look at board members’ views on the economy when the Fed releases its minutes today. Asian stocks, meanwhile, were mixed to positive on Wednesday after recovery in Dow futures. Australia's ASX 200 was up 0.8 per cent, Hang Seng and Kospi gained 0.3 per cent each while Japan's Nikkei fell 0.3 per cent. Back home, investors will focus on the Q2 results, stock-specific developments, and Covid related newsflow.  At 7:30 AM, the SGX Nifty was trading 33 points up at around 11,710 levels, indicating a positive start for the domestic indices. On the results front, TCS will today kickstart the September quarter earnings of the FY21 for the IT companies. The IT major will also consider share buyback today. Apart from that, Majesco, MIC Electronics, Unity Infraprojects and Zee Learn are also scheduled to announce their quarterly earnings today. Reliance Industries may once again be in focus today after announcing that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority would invest Rs 5,512 crore into Reliance Retail Ventures for 1.2-per cent stake. Sources have told Business Standard that Reliance is expected to divest only a small stake of 10-15 per cent in Reliance Retail, the proceeds of which will be used to fund acquisitions. Dixon Tech is expected to trade actively today after its arm Padget Electronics was selected by the Centre as one of the 16 proposals from marquee brands under two new flagship schemes, in a move expected to fetch Rs 11,000-crore additional investments in local electronics manufacturing. The RBI monetary policy panel will hold meetings from today till Friday to arrive at a policy decision. The addition of three new members to the committee lends a dovish tilt to the central bank’s think tank on policy and as such they may keep rates unchanged, analysts say. On the Covid front, India registered a rise of 72,106 in the number of new cases, taking the tally to 67.5 lakh. India's death toll stands at over 1 lakh. Meanwhile, media reports in the UK have said that the Oxford coronavirus vaccine might be rolled out in six months' time or even less. And in the end, a quick look at other top news. The government on Tuesday appointed Dinesh Kumar Khara as chairman of State Bank of India (SBI) for three years, effective today. Khara replaces Rajnish Kumar, who is stepping down after being at the helm for three years. Bajaj Finance yesterday gave its quarterly business update.

In Q1, the lender took an additional contingency provision of Rs 1,450 crore for the pandemic, taking the total amount to Rs 2,350 crore as of June 30.

Show Resources: Episode 03 - 2020 Roadmap Watch the webinar Episode 16 - Ting Ba announcing Events and Live LinkedIn Learning course about LinkedIn Ads by AJ Wilcox: LinkedIn Advertising Course Contact us at Podcast@B2Linked.com with ideas for what you'd like AJ to cover. Show Transcript: LinkedIn Ads Roadmap Update for the second half of 2020. Here's the exciting stuff you can expect to see in your account soon. Welcome to the LinkedIn Ads Show. Here's your host, AJ Wilcox. 0:21 Hey there LinkedIn Ads fanatics. So back in Episode 03, I walked you through the LinkedIn roadmap for 2020. And I'm sincerely decently surprised by how much has actually happened, considering the Covid disruption. I'm genuinely excited for these developments. And I can't wait to explain why. We'll also cover what's new in your account right now so that you can start to test. But first, some further ado. So in the news, the biggest thing I've been hearing about is advertisers mentioning that the ads tab moved off the company page. And many of you may know this is how we spy on our competitors. We go to their company's pages and click on the ads tab. And then you can see the last six months of sponsored content ads they've run. And I actually noticed this last week and said, oh, man, it looks like LinkedIn, taking things away. It's a strike for privacy. But then a couple people over both Twitter and LinkedIn mentioned that it's still there, you just have to scroll down further into the post section. And there you'll see a little button for just looking at the posts that are ads, so they integrated into the rest of the feed. This is actually a better place for it. But I do wish they would have like, told advertisers about this move happening so that we didn't worry that everything was being taken away. A couple of cool reviews the highlight, Todd-Ohio says "extremely informative. AJ holds nothing back and is truly an expert on LinkedIn ads." Todd, thank you so much for leaving that. That means a ton to me. And then CocoPodcastSuchti says "absolute best podcast on LinkedIn Ads. AJ's podcast is incredibly insightful and helped me so much with optimizing my own LinkedIn campaigns. I love that AJ gives honest recommendations and also talks about the points that he doesn't agree with on LinkedIn." True. "In my opinion, the absolute best podcasts on LinkedIn Ads. Thank you so much for this AJ, please keep it up best from Berlin, Cosima." Thanks so much Coco. I appreciate that. I definitely gonna try keeping this up. Like I've talked about on previous episodes, the workload required to put one of these episodes together is really high. And I'm already quite busy, but I have every intention to keep rolling out high quality stuff. Okay, anyone listening, I want to feature you. So please review this podcast on whatever podcast player you use, you have access to, especially if I know you, I'd love to give you a shout out. 2:40 Okay, with that being said, let's hit it. 2:42 So just recently, Candace Marshall, who I call a friend at LinkedIn. She's the product marketing manager over the ad formats. She got to hop on a webinar, talking about the upcoming roadmap, as well as the recently rolled out features, and just in case you'd missed that webinar. I want to hit all of the highlights here. If you'd like to go watch the full webinar yourself, go down to the show notes. I've got a link where you can sign up and watch it. But let's start with what's new on the platform, what you can look in there and expect to see right now, In Q1 of this year, they rolled out new interests. And we actually got 28 new subcategories for things like home appliances, wearable tech, mobile tech, and a bunch of others. And Candace also gave some insight into how they pull this data, how they determine what makes someone interested in a topic. She mentioned, they pulled data from reads, likes, shares, influencers and topics that they might follow. And she also mentioned that they're inferred based on profile similarities of other similar folks to them. And she didn't mention the Bing Ads integration. But in I'm assuming this is still the case. They would also take if they had your Bing search history, they would use those topics to also inform your interests. So that may have changed and it's likely not huge data set anyway, but interesting nonetheless. We've talked about this before, but they also released the company targeting. So there's two new types of company targeting. One is company category, which is curated lists from LinkedIn, Fortune, Forbes, and probably a lot more to come. This is a really valuable resource for those who are looking to target just specific sizes of companies. And those who are really the movers and shakers in their industry. There's also the company growth targeting, where you can target by percentage growth of company, which is really, really cool to me. They also released contact targeting where you can now target by device ID. So those of you who have device IDs from your programmatic advertising, now you can upload those and get to utilize them on LinkedIn inventory. We've talked about this how we get retargeting on engagement, so anyone doing video view, or lead form opens or submits you can now retarget or exclude, one of my favorite things, based off of those actions, and she recommended 50,000 video views in the last 90 days, or 1000 lead gen form opens in the last 90 days for their algorithms to work properly, which was really helpful to understand the scale needed for their algorithms to really optimize. Candice also mentioned that message ads and events and some other engagements like company page visitors are coming. Next is with the LinkedIn audience network. Now we're actually going to have a full episode about the LinkedIn audience network, probably here in the next couple months. But like I've mentioned before, LinkedIn is pretty tight lipped about the types of websites that your ads might show up on if you enable distribution on the LinkedIn audience network. Candice mentions a couple others which were really interesting. She mentioned New York Times and Business Insider. Add that to the other ones that LinkedIn released in their announcement earlier this year, where it was like Microsoft.com, MSN, and the Flipboard app. Also since June, you can actually retarget video views over the LinkedIn audience network, which is something I didn't know about, which is actually really cool. Their full integration with integral ad science is now totally complete. And this is for those of you who are at large brands who need that pre-bid brand safety guardrail on everything that you do. And they also mentioned that moat and doubleverify integrations are coming and LinkedIn audience network as you probably know, because I just talked about video on it video retargeting. It supports both single image and video sponsored content. And some great news for you video advertisers, sponsored content now supports vertical video. So rather than 16x9 widescreen now you can do 9x16 vertical video. And it's my understanding that if you use vertical video like this, it's only going to show on mobile, it wouldn't show on desktop, but I could be wrong on that one. LinkedIn have improved their previews, they call it a more accurate preview. So if they're calling it more accurate, they're not calling it perfect. But I guess it's still better than the previous of the past where we would look at them and say, okay, but I still have to see it live because I really can't trust this. And you can now delete individual creatives, which is something I didn't even know because I've always deleted creatives directly from the company's page. But this is great that we can do this within campaign manager, now. We still can't delete campaigns, still can't delete accounts. but hey, creatives as a start. In March 2020 of this year, LinkedIn released under the umbrella of sponsored messaging, conversation ads. They punctuated the value of this release by saying that the number of messages on LinkedIn, on the back end, has increased 400%. And in a survey, 89% of consumers say that they want to talk to businesses through messaging, but only 49% do. And conversation ads, if you didn't know, are kind like the chatbot experience for LinkedIn ads, where you can give people different calls to action and based off of their responses, you can lead them down a different path and basically give them more ways to convert or interact with you. LinkedIn also recently released templates, which it used to take us about 30 minutes to build one of these conversation ads because it's, it's so complex, there's so much to that logic. And now with these templates, you can really just pick something and go from there. Maybe give it some slight edits along the way and customize it. But it's a lot faster to build now. And I know I mentioned in Episode 29 in the news, but LinkedIn just released visual reporting for conversation ads, and they're calling it flowchart view. You can access this by going into your conversation ads campaign, selecting your creatives, and then clicking the flowchart button. And what you see is a really very beautiful, visual way of understanding how many people and what percentage of people are going down different paths in your logic there? I think it's called a waterfall chart or something, but this is great. It was really difficult before to understand how each of your calls to action were performing. And now it's quite visual. I love this. I'm a big fan. And if you listen to Episode 16, where we interviewed Ting Ba from LinkedIn, you'll know about how in May of 2020 this year, LinkedIn released events. And that means that for free, a person or company can set up an event and even broadcast live from it. Of course, that's as long as you've applied and been approved for LinkedIn Live. You've got to get access first. But as soon as you're approved, you're good to go. And page admins can actually invite their first degree connections as the company page. But you can't invite people as an individual, it's company only. And because of the whole Covid situation, they've actually sped up the approval process for LinkedIn Live applications. So it's now down to seven days before you hear back, whereas it used to take up to three or four months to get approved. And if you're trying to get approved, we know what they're looking for, at least at the page level. They're looking for at least 1000 page followers, and some posting of a video in the last six months. LinkedIn hasn't specified anything about what they're looking for to approve an individual, but I would guess it's probably something similar. They want to see that you've worked with video, you've posted native video, and probably that you've got a decent level of connections or following. There's also been a recent release of the reach and frequency metrics that we didn't used to get. So now you can get your average reach and frequency to help evaluate how your advertising is going. And what was so cool with this one is the reporting for reaching frequency actually goes all the way back historical. And this makes sense because it really is an easy calculation for LinkedIn. All they needed to know was unique impressions. And then they can calculate all the rest of this quite simply. But I think this is great that we can now go back in time and see what our frequency looked like at different periods. And the last recently released feature here was in the bidding and budgeting, we now have lifetime budgets, and target cost bidding for lifetime budgets, LinkedIn says that this is a lifetime pacing of whatever your budget is. And they try to show ads just when your audience is on LinkedIn. So it's kind of like day parting and scheduling, but you don't actually get control over which hours, they just try to show it probably during peak hours. And this will be interesting to test, but I'm not overly excited about it. The same thing with target cost bidding, target cost bidding, will maximize your ROI based on the cost per click that you want to pay. And call me old fashioned, but I just don't understand the problem of bidding a certain amount and realizing that I'm going to pay let's say 10 or 20 cents less than that. But the value of this target cost bid. If you bid $8.75 per click, then you will end up paying $8.75 per click. So we've done some testing on this one and we ended up paying 20 or 30 cents more per click, because we were actually paying what we were bidding. But we didn't actually see additional traffic, it seems to us like it's just bidding and then rounding our costs up. But admittedly, this has been a pretty limited test. So I'd love to hear from you if you're seeing the same thing. If anyone's gotten target cost bidding to work well for them, please let us know. And also if you're one of these advertisers, that this was a really awesome release for you. I would love to hear why I'd love to hear what makes target cost bidding so much better than just paying a little bit less than what you're bidding. Alright, here's a quick sponsor break, and then we'll dive into what's coming up for the rest of the year from LinkedIn. 12:53 The LinkedIn Ads Show is proudly brought to you by B2Linked.com, the LinkedIn Ads experts. 13:03 If the performance of your LinkedIn Ads is important to you, B2Linked is the agency you'll want to work with. We've spent over $130 million on LinkedIn Ads, and getting you the lowest costs and the highest quality of leads is our focus. We're the only media buying agency to be official LinkedIn partners. So you know, we're doing something right. Fill out the contact form on any page of B2linked.com, to chat about your campaigns. Or heck, send a carrier pigeon or smoke signal. No matter how you get in touch, we'll make sure we make you look like the internal hero. All right, let's jump into the upcoming roadmap. 13:37 LinkedIn Live & LinkedIn Events So the first category here is LinkedIn Live and LinkedIn Events. Now, obviously, most of this is done on the organic side of LinkedIn, but there will certainly be tie ins to the ads platform, the ability to sponsor some of these things to target audiences in the future, so this is why we want to pay attention to them. And personally, I'm really excited to use something like LinkedIn Events and LinkedIn Live to put on a live webinar, or even like a summit. And then just like we promote webinars now through LinkedIn Ads, we can also promote an event. And maybe this converts higher than it would be just from normal sponsored content. We'll see, I'm excited. LinkedIn says that we'll be able to download our event registrations. As of right now you can see who attended and who expressed interest, but there's nothing you can do automatically from there. But in the future, we'll be able to download that list, kind of like you can with a webinar currently. And in late 2020 or early 2021, we're going to get the ability to sponsor a LinkedIn Live with Ads. And who knows how that's gonna perform from a cost per attendee standpoint, but I'm sure excited to test. And of course, we'll get to use LinkedIn lead gen form ads for gathering these registrations, which means we'll get higher signup rates, and also the ability to retarget anyone who opened, but didn't fill out or excluding those who've already filled out. And then we'll also get the ability to retarget event attendees, they'll become an audience that we can either include or exclude. So that's a fantastic use of engagement retargeting. And the way that event notifications will work, LinkedIn says they will let the prospect know seven days ahead of time, and then remind them again three days, and then the day before that your events coming up. And we don't know if this is going to be like an email that goes to them reminding, or if it's just if they happen to be on platform, they'll see it or maybe a push notification on mobile. But I do love the fact that there will be some sort of notification to try to increase our show rates. 15:42 Stories Ads And if you listen to Episode 28, when we interviewed Michael Stelzner, we mentioned there would be LinkedIn stories, and even stories ads. LinkedIn says that the second half of 2020 is when LinkedIn is going to release stories, these real time experiences to all users And they're already live to certain users. For instance, if you are in Brazil, France, the Netherlands, or Australia, you've already got access to this. But as they ramp up and roll out to everyone, I bet there's a lot of millennials and Gen Zers, who will rejoice. They say to expect stories ad formats in Q3. So we're getting pretty close to that. And if you're wondering what it's going to be like to sponsor story ads, I would say go check out Instagram and Snapchat and see what that's like because obviously those are successful and LinkedIn is probably going to use them as the model. I would love to hear what you guys think would be a great type of story to sponsor when we get this ability. Things like a behind the scenes or look how we're working from home during COVID. Sharing news, they will have stickers as well. So those might be some ideas of what you can do. But I'd love to hear how you guys are planning on using it. Stories are not something that I've played with a whole lot on the other networks like Instagram and Snapchat, so this is really a new world for me, and I'm looking for any ideas I can get. One thing that I'm really excited about with LinkedIn Story Ads is I think this is going to be brand new ad inventory all together, it's possible that this will just be another sponsored content post. But it's not in the other networks. And so if we have brand new inventory created, a new slot on the page, then especially right at the beginning, it won't be competitive, we'll probably get to bid the very floor, whatever that is, and still fill our whole budgets worth of traffic. So that'll be fantastic. 17:38 Audience Insights And if you listen to Episode 23, where I interviewed Sam Fonoimoana, we talked about how LinkedIn was going to be coming out with an ABM dashboard, like a company engagement report that you could see right within campaign manager. And this is going to be launching in sometime Q3 in 2020 this year. It's going to be free and you don't actually need to spend anything on LinkedIn Ads to get it. And I think it will be an update to the demographic reporting the free reporting that we get now. And I really hope they call it LinkedIn Analytics or something like that. So people think of it of using it alongside that of like Google Analytics and Facebook Analytics. Now, if you use Sam's report, you'll get all the interaction from every single known company, you can get thousands, I'm fairly certain that through this new reporting, you'll probably only get access to, you know, maybe 20 to 100 at most. So if you've already gone to Sam at Stoke analytics, you've still got a better product than you'll get from LinkedIn. But we'll see in Q3 when it launches. We'll get to see a demographic composition of the audiences. We'll get to see by content, what that audience most cares about, as well as engagement metrics to see how each segment of that audience is engaging. 18:53 Document Ads And then in Q4 of 2020, LinkedIn says we'll be able to monitor and optimize our sales pipeline. With CRM integrations, so the way I see this working would be an integration with something like Microsoft Dynamics and Salesforce and HubSpot. You'll be able to pull those offline conversions in and know how many, let's say marketing qualified leads and sales qualified leads those campaigns drove. And I think this is a brilliant move. I've been telling LinkedIn for years they needed to do something with a CRM because wow, the value of LinkedIn Ads is in the lead quality, it's not in getting the lowest cost per lead. I'll step off that soapbox now. Organically, we've had the ability to create document posts for quite a while now. And these actually perform really, really well organically. And now LinkedIn says that we'll be able to create document ads sometime during Q1 of 2021. With the document posts right now, you can post a PowerPoint presentation or a PDF or a Word doc and it's kind of like a carousel ad where people can scroll through each page. And I have high hopes that when this becomes a document ad, will be able to use this for an immediate transaction of content. So I'm thinking things like ebooks and white papers and case studies. Maybe there's a lead gen form, where as soon as that's completed, the person is automatically given that piece of content. And on the back end, we don't have to get our marketing automation system to gather that email address and send it off to their inbox. It would be so cool if we could just deliver it automatically. And LinkedIn does say that there will be a beta later this year. So if this is something you're absolutely desperate for, get with your LinkedIn account rep right now and request access to that beta. 20:44 Products on Pages The next release that LinkedIn mentions is called products on pages. And this is kind of like a G2 Crowd kind of competitor, where you're going to be able to go to companies pages and leave reviews on their products. They also mentioned something thing about individuals being able to demonstrate proficiency. So maybe if let's say you are like a HubSpot Pro, you could somehow get some kind of a connection to the HubSpot page or product with your review. The beta is going to be launching. And actually, I think the beta has already launched it was in the first half of 2020. So maybe some of you listeners are already part of this. I know I have at least one friend who's part of it for a large European brand. And I wouldn't be surprised to see this actually release out to everyone right at the beginning of 2021. But who knows they've been releasing things really rapidly lately, and maybe we see it later this year. 21:39 AB Testing/Split Testing This next release I'm really stoked about they're calling it AB testing or split testing. And I'm sure as many of you know, you can currently go into a campaign and set your creatives to either rotate evenly or optimize to click through rate. And in the past I'm sure you've heard me say, as attractive as It sounds to want to rotate your creatives evenly, it's a really terrible thing for your ad performance. I call it the charge me more and show me less button. And the reason why is when it rotates your ads evenly, what it's doing is it's entering both ads into the auction evenly. But of course, both of them have different relevancy scores. So the one with the higher relevancy score will get a higher number of impressions at a lower cost. And the one with the worst relevancy score, it's still going into the auction, but it's losing a lot more often, meaning that you're not getting those impressions that you're hoping for. And when you do, you pay a higher cost per click for them. So with this new release that they say is coming in Q4 of 2020, you'll be able to compare the performance of two campaigns that differ by one variable. And apparently the reporting will be based off of statistical significance, which is really cool. I've asked LinkedIn several times how this is going to interact with LinkedIn's auction? And is it possible for LinkedIn to kind of gloss over the fact that these ads and variations are going to have different relevancy scores? I haven't gotten a definitive answer, but I'm sure closer to release, I'll have some more information to share about that. 23:16 Campaign Manager Lite The next release is one that I'm not super excited about, but I definitely understand the value here. They're releasing something called Campaign Manager Lite, which is kind of like a really simplified version of campaign manager, where you can boost posts directly from the company's page, kind of like you can on Facebook. And this is really simple for those marketers who may not be as familiar with PPC advertising, but they still want to take organic posts and event posts and easily sponsor and extend their reach. That'll actually be out pretty soon. They they're saying Q3 of 2020. And of course, anytime you try to take a complex advertising product, like campaign manager and make it lite, it's probably just going to take away a lot of options and control. So chances are I won't be playing with this very much, but I definitely understand the value for advertisers who may not want to jump into campaign manager and learn all of these tips and tricks. 24:16 LinkedIn Business Manager And then finally, LinkedIn is releasing something that they call LinkedIn Business Manager. Now, those of us who are at agencies who work with a lot of different LinkedIn Ads accounts, this is something we've been asking for for a long time. Those of you who are experienced with Facebook ads, you know, Facebook Business Manager. And it's kind of like we're an agency can have a single entity that they get access to that entity for the ads account, and then the business can add their employees to that entity. So right now, when a client gives us access to their account, we have to go in and add every single employee. And then if and when that employee leaves, we have to remember to go into those accounts and remove that person. And this would be a lot simpler if we could just remove the person once from the company's business manager, and it would remove them from all of the client accounts. We're still a ways out on this one. LinkedIn says it's releasing in the second half of 2021. But there will be a beta early next year. So if this is something, if you're an agency who does a lot of this, maybe request that from your rep. All right, that was a lot of good stuff coming out. So thanks for sticking with us. Right after the break here. I've got the episode resources for you. So stick around. 25:42 Thank you for listening to the LinkedIn Ads Show. Hungry for more? AJ Wilcox, take it away. 25:53 Resources All right, you could actually go and watch the webinar that this was kind of a commentary on so check the show notes down below. It is lead capture so submit your information to LinkedIn and you can watch the whole webinar. The link there is down below. And then also go back to listen to Episode 03 about what's coming in 2020 and what's coming in in 2021. And you can see how much LinkedIn actually has released this year, even despite Covid. Also, don't miss Episode 16 with Ting Ba at LinkedIn, where she told us all about the new releases of LinkedIn Events and LinkedIn Live, that goes deeper into what we've talked about here. And of course, if you are new to LinkedIn advertising, or you have a member of your staff who is go check out the course on LinkedIn Learning, the link is also down below. And this is one that I did with LinkedIn that really takes you from the very beginning of LinkedIn Ads all the way through going and creating your own campaigns, and it can get someone up to speed really quickly. It's also incredibly inexpensive. It's only about $25, or if you have a LinkedIn Premium subscription, it's free. And it covers all the same stuff that I would cover in probably the first hour and a half, if you hired me to come and train your team at $500 an hour, so it's a fantastic value. On whatever podcast player you're listening to look down and hit that subscribe button. If this has been a value to you, I'd love to have you hearing more episodes. And also if it has been a value, hit the rate button. And I'd love to have this podcast really blow up and get more people hearing all the great tips and tricks they just can't hear anywhere else about LinkedIn Ads. And if you will, leave a review on whatever podcast player you listen to. And I'd love to shout you out at the beginning of the episodes. And as always reach out to us at Podcast@B2Linked.com with any questions or suggested topics for the future. I'd love to give you what you're hungry for. Alright, with that being said, I'll see you back here next week. Cheering you on in your LinkedIn Ads initiatives.

Show #803   Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Monday 8th June 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to.   Welcome to a new PRODUCER via Patreon BARRY WOLF   Welcome to a new EXECUTIVE PRODUCER via Patreon DAVID MOORE   Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and hel p you learn about EVs along the way too.   TESLA MODEL Y CUSTOMERS IN CANADA PREPARE FOR DELIVERY “Model Y reservation holders are seeing new fields to be filled in within their accounts online at Tesla.com. Tesla is asking for registrant type (one or two people or a company), registration address, trade-in details and also payment method for Model Y. Existing Tesla customers are most likely familiar with these steps, but for new customers, the process inches the process closer ahead of deliveries slated in June. For payment method, Tesla offers options for cash, a loan arranged through the company or a self-arranged loan. The placeholder annual percentage rate (APR) is noted as 4.6%, although after submitting a credit application with Tesla, this rate may change.” Says iPhone for Canada: “Last week, the Tesla retail location in West Vancouver confirmed the first Model Y deliveries in Canada would take place in June. Model Y currently starts at $75,990 in Canada for the Long Range All-Wheel Drive version, with the Standard range (rear-wheel drive) set to begin in “early 2021”, according to Tesla’s website.”   Via Reddit: "Yay! Got the email I was waiting for today! Asked to upload driver's license, select trade-in and payment options! Model Y Performance / Performance Upgrade We're getting closer, fellow Canucks! "   MODEL Y PRODUCTION CHANGED TO BEGIN 2022 FOR EUROPE "Last week when I checked, the Tesla Model Y production was set for begin 2021. Today I checked and it changed to begin 2022. I don't know if this is only for Belgium, but almost 2 years is very long imo."   "Still says early 2021 when I try to configure for Switzerland."   https://www.reddit.com/r/teslamotors/comments/gyjfdn/model_y_production_changed_to_begin_2022_for/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf   CANADA: PLUG-IN ELECTRIC CAR SALES INCREASED BY 50% IN Q1 2020 "Plug-in electric car sales substantially improved in Canada during the first three months of 2020, according to the report provided by Electric Mobility Canada.  The total volume of all-electric (BEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and hydrogen fuel cell (FCVs) cars - although probably not many FCVs - amounted to 11,978, which is about 50% more than in Q1 2019 (7,999)."  says InsideEVs: "It will be hard to improve from that point in Q2, as we know how devastating the COVID-19 lockdown was for the automotive market, but at least the plug-in market share will be high. Already, March brought a noticeable spike of 5.6% - the new all-time record. In terms of the most popular models - the Tesla Model 3 is second to none with 4,025 sales in Q1, more than three times above the 2nd best (Toyota Prius Prime). Top BEVs: Tesla Model 3: 4,025. Chevrolet Bolt EV: 1,031. Nissan LEAF: 701"   https://insideevs.com/news/427255/canada-plugin-car-sales-q1-2020/   AUDI'S PLUG-IN HYBRID A6 GOES ON SALE COSTING JUST UNDER £53,000 "The order books have now opened for Audi’s new plug-in hybrid A6 executive saloon, which costs £52,790 in its cheapest guise. Dubbed the 50 TFSI e, the newcomer will offer an all-electric range of 34 miles per charge, while Audi hopes company car drivers will be enticed by the 10-percent Benefit-in-Kind tax rate." according to Motor1.com: "Initially available solely as a saloon, with an ‘Avant’ estate to follow later, the car comes with a 2-litre petrol engine and an electric motor to create a four-wheel-drive, four-door luxury car with 295 bhp. That means it can manage the sprint from nought to 62 mph in 5.5 seconds. Owners will also be able to take advantage of Audi’s e-tron charging service, which grants access to 18 charging networks across the UK and amalgamates all costs incurred in one monthly invoice."   https://uk.motor1.com/news/427030/audi-a6-phev-saloon-pricing/   ELECTRIC PERFORMANCE CARS: WILL AN EV EVER REALLY DELIVER? "Can a real evo car really ever be powered by electricity? It's an argument that's been ranging between enthusiasts from all parts of the automotive world, but whichever side of the argument you find yourself on, the industry has had no choice but to cautiously go ahead develop them anyway." writes evo.co.uk: "The way a Tesla launches from a standstill will churn your stomach, but its real party trick is the way it responds with perfect linearity and imperceptible delay to movements of your right foot. To assume it’s all about straight lines is to do such response a disservice too – think instead of the accuracy to which you could adjust a car’s line mid-corner or over-rotate its rear tyres on the way out. Electrification means the end of being in the wrong gear for a corner (or worse, the car selecting one of umpteen wrong gears itself), and of wobbly torque curves. That’s without the potential offered by torque-vectoring set-ups too, something electric motors can do with greater fidelity and intensity than any conglomeration of differentials and clutch packs. Had technology stopped at some arbitrary point in the past we’d have been denied some amazing cars. We’d be denied some amazing EVs if we collectively decided now that internal combustion was all that mattered for the thrill of driving."   https://www.evo.co.uk/features/202705/electric-performance-cars-the-pros-and-cons   ABB PARTNERS WITH VIGOR SELECTS ABB AS PROPULSION AND ENERGY STORAGE PARTNER FOR HYBRID-ELECTRIC FERRIES "American shipbuilding company Vigor Fab LLC has selected ABB as the hybrid-electric propulsion and energy storage system provider for the newest additions to the Washington State Ferry fleet—the largest US ferry system." according to Green Car Congress: "The new Olympic Class ferries, which will have the capacity to carry 144 cars and 1,500 passengers each, mark a new era for the Washington State transport operator in the shift toward technologies that enable significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel use. The new vessels will be able to fully operate on battery power and will have the capability to revert to hybrid mode, if required. The battery power can also extend zero-emissions capability along the supply chain by using renewables and hydroelectric power. Figures from trade association Interferry indicate that ferries transport 2.1 billion passengers and 250 million vehicles worldwide every year. As numbers increase, the sector is under pressure to meet International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) targets to reduce annual emissions by 30% by 2025."   https://www.greencarcongress.com/2020/06/20200607-abb.html   THIS EV BARGE CONCEPT TAKES BATTERY-SWAPPING TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL "A group of companies, including Wärtsilä, ING Bank, Engie, and the Port of Rotterdam Authority, launched a new consortium - the Zero Emission Services B.V. (ZES), with the goal to develop zero-emission inland waterway shipping in the Netherlands. The idea is to develop a fully electric barge with replaceable battery containers "ZESPacks", which would be able to go 50-100 km (31-62 miles) and then swap the pack... containers for a fully charged." says InsideEVs: "A single ZESPack would have a capacity of about 2 MWh, while the power needed by the arge is usually 500-1,000 kW. It means 2-4 hours of work between swaps.The cool thing about the concept is that it allows keeping the costs of barges under control (compared to a long-range version), allows use of renewable electricity and utilizes the ZESPack as energy storage for grid purposes when not in use for a while."   https://insideevs.com/news/427049/ev-barge-concept-battery-swapping-zes/   ENEL X EXPANDED ITS EV CHARGING NETWORK TO OVER 30,000 PUBLIC CHARGING POINTS Enel X expanded its EV charging network to more than 30,000 public charging points, roughly a threefold increase from about 10,500 already available, by kicking off eRoaming connectivity with Dutch EV network operator Allego as well as Robert Bosch GmbH and German company Innogy. Under the framework of the Hubject e-mobility platform, this collaboration now allows Enel X JuicePass app users to fill up their EVs, without signing new contracts, in the charging points operated by Allego, Bosch and Innogy, on a network of more than 19,500 points in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.   Allego’s EU network has over 15,000 public charging points available via Hubject, over 1,000 of which are Fast (50 to 175 kW) and 200 are Ultra-Fast (175 to 350 kW), all installed in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and the UK. Similarly, the Innogy network has around 5,000 public charging points, 4,000 of them available via the Hubject network, of which 300 are Fast (50 to 175 kW). Bosch operates a network of around 550 charging points, also available via Hubject.

" In Q1, some sectors will just about manage to start their operations. Q2 there will be some hope of revival. SBI's balance sheet has resilience to take care of few corporate's, who might not be able to revive. We are assessing range for risk of Industry performance ahead. Banks are assessing the Impact on Industries, specially when there is complete shut down in business activity, due to lock down" says Arijit Basu, State Bank Of India, Managing Director."Borrowers continue to be uncertain of the growth projections ahead, because of COVID-19 Crisis. We will support the companies beyond the rating agencies analysis, depending on internal analysis and intrinsic value of the company."

Thema des Tages ist natürlich der Ölpreis. Wir Leben in Zeiten des Ausnahmezustands und auch hier ist außergewöhnliches passiert. Kurzzeitig ist der Preis für WTI in den negativen Bereich gerutscht. Dazu hören Sie Eugen Weinberg, Leiter der Rohstoffanalyse der Commerzbank, Kapitalmarktanalyst David Iusow von IG, Fondsmanager Wolfgang Matejka aus Wien und Portfoliomanager Lothar Koch. Die Börsen gingen in die gleiche Richtung. Der DAX verlor am Dienstag 4 % auf 10.250 Punkte, der ATX 3,2 % auf 1.995 Punkte und auch die Wall Street war zu Xetra Schluss tief im Minus. Zahlen kamen unter anderem von Coca-Cola. Die bekommen die Corona-Krise zu spüren, da Gastronomie und Veranstaltungen eine wichtige Rolle beim Absatz spielen. In Q1 sah es noch ok aus, der Umsatz sank nur leicht, der Gewinn war besser als erwartet, in Q2 soll die Krise aber voll durchschlagen, warnt der Getränkekonzern. Auch im DAX startet die Berichtssaison. SAP hatte bereits vor Kurzem die Prognose nach unten angepasst, sodass die Zahlen wenig Überraschungen parat hatten. Die große Überraschung kam aber von Personalseite: Co Chefin Jennifer Morgan wird den Konzern per Ende April verlassen und Christian Klein somit alleiniger CEO werden. Damit endet das Kapitel der ersten Frau an der Spitze eines DAX Konzerns überraschend schnell nach etwa einem halben Jahr. SAP ist mit 6,6 % Minus einer der stärksten Verlierer im DAX, gefolgt von VW mit ebenfalls -6,6 %, MTU mit -7,6 % und Schlusslicht Infineon mit -8,1 %. Einzige Gewinner waren Wirecard mit +0,7 % und Beiersdorf mit +0,2 %. Zu den Zahlen von Mensch und Maschine hören Sie Vorstand Adi Drotleff und zu den Zahlen von R. Stahl CEO Matthias Hallmann.

In Q1 2019, the U.S. solar market surpassed 2 million installations – just three years after the market surpassed the 1 million-installation milestone.

The inflow of Foreign Capital investment into the telecoms industry in Nigeria rose by $659.03m between 2016 and 2018, representing a 70.8 percent increase in capital inflow into the sector. The sector is said to be the second-highest investment in the country after the banking sector, which had $932.51m.Meanwhile, Analysis of the NBS data indicated that the capital inflow rose to $1.48bn from 2016 to 2017, recording a 58.5% increase. In Q1 of 2017, investors pitched $145.78m into the telecom sector; $174.18m in Q2; $33.68m in Q3 and $191.01m in Q4.Although, The year 2018 saw investors back the telecom sector with $114.43m, the lowest annual investment in the sector in more than five years. Services, production, financing, and banking sectors attracted more investment than the telecoms in 2018.According to the President, Association of Telecommunications Companies of Nigeria, Olusola Teniola, disclosed that during periods when the sector experienced mergers, acquisitions, and consolidation, there was huge capital inflow into the country. Adding that, the latest capital importation report by the NBS showed that the sector received a capital injection of $884.85m between July and September of this year. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.

In one of the most important episodes on Base Layer to date we speak with Marcos Veremis, Managing Director at Cambridge Associates. CA, as of 2018, had $389 billion in assets under advisement of some of the largest endowments, family offices and pensions. They are considered in many ways the gold standard for investment consulting, outsourced portfolio solutions, research services and tools and performance monitoring across various asset classes. In Q1 of 2019 Marcos and his team published Cryptoassets: Venture into the Unknown; a paper detailing "although the crypto industry remains in its infancy, we think institutional investors should begin exploring it" - an amazing statement from the likes of CA. We discuss the paper, the work that went into it, why they wrote it and what the future may look like in the space. 

Today let’s take a look back on the market over the first four months of 2019 and compare them to the first four months of 2018. Earlier in the year, we predicted that the Hoboken market would stabilize, and comparing the numbers from the first four months of 2019 to those of 2018, it looks as though that prediction is coming true. In Q1 of 2018, we had 92 unsold units. This year, that number is up slightly, with 108 unsold units. “All in all, we’re seeing some great opportunities in our market.” The number of closed units decreased year over year from 250 to 210, though the average sales price went up by 2.79%, and the days on market rose from 41 to 44 days. The absorption rate in our market went from 2.75 months in 2018 to 2.35 months in 2019, which really shows the strength of our current market. For reference, a normal, stable market has between five and six months of inventory available. All in all, we’re seeing some great opportunities in our market. For buyers, there’s more inventory to choose from. For sellers, the market leans in your favor, meaning that you’re in a good position to get your home sold quickly and for a great price. To get the results you want, you just need to put the right marketing plan behind your listing. If you’re interested in selling your home or have any questions about the market, feel free to reach out to us.

This week: will it be a car, glasses, or a full frame camera? iPhones aren’t selling like they used to, and Apple’s looking for their next huge hit! We discuss...

And stay tuned for our favorite shows and games in an all-new What We’re Into

    What is a radio, anyway? [CLIP of Google] Last World Emoji Day, the UK industry group Radiocentre tweeted that their favourite emjoi ought to be the one of the radio, but radios don't look like that any more - they look like phones, tablets, cars or televisions, so they don't really have a favourite emoji after all. It’s a succinctly made point; and highlights a failing in the English language — radio means, of course, three different things — a receiver, a technology, and a type of audio programming. Radio is now on a variety of different platforms. Broadcast technology, like FM or DAB+; live streaming via IP; and on-demand too, in the form of podcasting and other things. Most, if not all, radio research reflects this. The apparent unsophistication of a paper diary or a web form is actually quite a useful way of understanding how people listen: since it works with every form of radio, not just something delivered on a speaker. Fewer people are buying radio receivers than ever before. Yet, in most markets, more people are listening to radio than ever before — because radio is not a platform, it’s a thing. I define it as “audio with a shared experience and a human connection”. Alexa, however, defines it as this. [CLIP] If we have trouble with defining a “radio”, what about a “smart speaker”, I wonder? In Q1 2018, the Amazon Echo sold 2.5m devices worldwide; but Google Home sold 3.2m devices in the same time period. It’s the first time that Google has out-sold Amazon for smart speakers. But that doesn’t tell the whole story, though: Google’s voice assistant works with over 5,000 devices. My JBL Link speaker that is on my deck has Google Assistant built-in; but it isn’t a Google Home. Where does it fit in the figures? The GPS I use in the car has Google Assistant built-in (very good for sending text messages). The Bose headphones that I take travelling, or the smaller bud headphones I wear on the bus, both have Google Assistant on them as well — I walked over the William Jolly Bridge in Brisbane the other day, asking Google about my diary for tomorrow. And of course, my mobile phone has Google Assistant in it, too. If it’s on the table, seemingly switched off, I can still turn it into a radio. [CLIP]. So, you can compare sales of Amazon Echo vs Google Home if you like; but that misses great swathes of the smart speaker ecosystem. And you can define radio as a speaker in a box that picks up FM if you like; but that, too, misses much of what your audience already calls radio. Your challenge is to ensure that your radio output sounds great — whatever ‘radio’ it is playing on.   Support the show.

Saturday 12th May 2018. TESLA WILL ENABLE ORDERS FOR NEW MODEL 3 VERSIONS NEXT WEEK I love it when Elon tweets because you never know what he's promising but, despite critics saying he lives on Elon time (which reminds me of Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field) it always happens. Sometimes not on the timescale Elon says, but it always happens. Well mostly, he has made predictions in the past with things like EV's having 600 mile ranges, was that 2018 he said that would happen? We'll forgive him the odd moonshot. However he has said within a week Tesla will open orders for the dual motor and performance versions. As you may know, things like photographs were seen with a Model 3 on a test track recently which sported red brake calipers, a giveaway it was testing a performance version. But then again, I'm aware that 2+2 can equal 5, and then i look stupid. And frankly I don't need Tesla's help to make me look stupid, i can do that on my own thanks. Musk has hinted that that version will come with Tesla's Ludicrous mode option, which can significantly boost the vehicle's acceleration. Production of those options is due to start in July. And we still don't know the exact specs. However my favourite part of this is that the answer came via a question from DMC Ryan. He hosts his weekly Ride The Lightning Tesla podcast, which i'm a huge fan on. And for a while now he's been talking about how to get this question answered. So, Ryan's strategy has been this: wait until Elon tweets because that means he's online and then BAM hit him with dual motor/performance/air suspension question. I seen Elon tweet and then BAM there goes Ryan with his question, but thus far, no luck. That has happened a few times now but this time, Elon saw it and BAM...he replied. Ryan, I salute you. Persistence pays off. Oh and talking air suspension, that's next year says Elon. Along with the white seats and interior. CHINA EV SALES DOUBLE "Monthly figures from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers released Friday show that passenger cars sales in April rose 11 percent over a year earlier to 1.9 million vehicles, outpacing a 3.5 percent growth rate in March" reports ABC: "Sales of "new-energy vehicles" such as electric cars and gasoline-electric hybrids more than doubled to 82,000."  TESLA FILES 3,661 MODEL 3 VINS Earlier this week we heard Tesla had registered 5,000 new VINs and now they're back to grab over 3,500 more. All for the Model 3 by the way, which brings the total to a total of 42,942 VINs. That's almost one tenth of the total reservations they had. That's 8,000 registered in the last week and, although not a foolproof system, does point towards a production rate of 4,000 per week. Perhaps slightly less. Remember Elon recently promised another shutdown to upgrade equipment which unlocks 5-6,000 per week. That starts to make sense because Elon also said the dual motor option would only come once that rate was achieved, and which most people expected to be July. TWO MORE HYUNDAI KONA REVIEWS Another embargo must have been lifted because two reviews of the Hyundai Kona were published at the same time. Auto Express highlights include: "Neither the new Nissan Leaf or the VW e-Golf can get anywhere close. DC charging at up to 100kW is standard. Hyundai UK is being coy on pricing and range details, beyond confirming that both battery sizes will be available to British buyers. The electric powertrain is smooth and quiet, and despite the car’s weight (this edition weighs almost 1.7 tonnes), there’s all the performance you could really need up to around 65mph. The car offers four levels of energy recuperation, selected via paddles behind the steering wheel. Hyundai said our vehicle’s software needed more tuning...And learn to rely on levels three and four of recuperation to bring your speed down the majority of the time. And here’s a bit of even more significant news: the claimed range of 482km, under the forthcoming, supposedly more realistic WLTP test regime, seems very achievable, based on our time with the car. Under a mixture of hard acceleration for cornering pictures, urban crawl and 65mph motorway cruising, we saw energy consumption of around 12kWh per 100km" So that's one review, and onto AutoCar who also had great words to say about it "The Kona Electric’s performance level feels strong – although, due to its weight, perhaps not as strong as its headline power and torque lead you to expect. Hyundai quotes a 0-62mph showing of 7.6sec — which beats any comparable rival save for BMW’s i3. And for those primarily interested in whether the car’s battery range is really as good as Hyundai claims, there’s encouraging news. Our test route included town, motorway and mountain roads, and intensive driving as well as touring. While the car’s indicated average energy efficiency, tested over extended distances, was as high as 7.0kWh per 100km and as low as 16kWh at times, our overall experience suggested that you could easily average the 12kWh per 100km necessary to make good on Hyundai’s 300-mile real-world range on a mix of urban and extra-urban roads. At times, you could even improve on it."   KIA ELECTRIFIED CAR SALES IN EUROPE INCREASED TO 10% (4% PLUG-INS) IN Q1 Onto Hyundai's South Korean sister company Kia in Europe. They say: "“Kia’s registrations of hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles rose 36.2% to 13,070 units. In Q1 2018, 10% of all Kia cars sold in Europe were powered by an electrified powertrain, compared to 7.7% over the same period in 2017. Kia recently announced plans to introduce 16 new advanced powertrain vehicles by 2025 – the first of these new alternatively-fuelled vehicles will be unveiled later in 2018"   TESLA GETS SHUT DOWN IN CONNECTICUT This story i find baffling, like all stories about whether Tesla is allowed to sell cars. You see, from here in the UK, we view the USA as the home of capitalism in all it's glory and horror. If you really do buy into the American dream whereby you can start from nothing and make yourself, this is one piece of protectionism the Chinese would be proud of. Fred at Electrek says: "For four years in a row now, Tesla has been trying to enter Connecticut, one of the few states that still prevent Tesla from selling its vehicles directly to consumers."   I’d love to spread the word about electric cars so, if you can, share this somebody who might be interested.

Friday 6th April 2018. MASSIVE BATCH OF TESLA VINS REGISTERED We heard earlier in the week Tesla is making over 2,000 Model 3’s a week so it will come as no surprise they’ve registered almost 5,000 new VINs. At this rate it will last them about two weeks. It’s just a week after they registered 2,000 VINs so it looks like that exponential curve that Elon Musk talks about might be starting. A reminder that by Saturday, 30th June, they said they should be making 5,000 every week. Even if they maintained 5,000 a week for the second half of the year it would be 130,000 Model 3 vehicles in the second half of the year. And there’s every chance the curve will continue, as the target is 10,000 per week by year end. GROUPE PSA GET SERIOUS Peugeot, Citroën, DS and Opel/Vauxhall, and its Free2move all come under the Groupe PSA umbrella, and it’s creating a Business Unit dedicated to electric vehicles, effective 1 April, responsible for defining and deploying the Group’s electric vehicle strategy and rolling out the related products and services. Meanwhile CEO Carlos Tavares said European Union fines for companies that miss tougher CO2 reduction targets could bring a major European automaker "to its knees," allowing a Chinese buyer to step in with its own electric vehicle technology "The impact is very obvious. It's going to create a Chinese Trojan Horse in Europe," Tavares told an industry event hosted by French car magazine Le Journal de l'Auto. PSA and other European carmakers are facing declining sales of fuel-efficient diesel models, making it harder to meet CO2 targets and avoid large fines. UK DIESEL CRASH Here in the UK, a bad day for diesel and good one for electric cars. ThisIsMoney says: “diesel sales plummeting by more than a third in the industry's most important month of the year. Sales of diesel models, which have been subject to additional taxes in the last year, plunged by 37 per cent. Registrations of these 'cleaner' hybrid, plug-in hybrid and electric vehicles rose by 5.7 per cent last month.” In March 2017 22,818 electric cars were sold which went up to 24,126 last month. That’s a total market share up from 4.1% to 5.1%. Year to date, which is basically looking at Q1 combined, shows an even better picture. In Q1 2017, 33,405 electric cars were sold and that went up to 36,693 this year, and increase of 9.8%. MORE CHINA INVESTMENT Electrek reports that: “Chinese EV start-up Singulato Motors said that it secured funding to invest $2.39 billion USD in a massive manufacturing hub in East China over the next five years.” The Singulato iS6 is their SUV which has a range of 400 km (~250 miles), 0-60mph of four seconds, and a price range starting at $32,000. SUBSCRIBE TO AN EV How about spending a monthly fee for a BMW - including insurance, maintenance, and roadside assistance? How about unrestricted access to a select portfolio of BMW vehicles? How about no limit to the number of times you can switch vehicles within a given month? Ian Smith, CEO of BMW group financial services, said: ““As customers continue to explore the growing mobility market, service-related offerings are becoming more in demand. With Access by BMW, our members will enjoy the freedom of personal mobility with access across a broad range of our highly emotional vehicles,” It’s $2,000 a month, starting in Nashville to test the water, and you get access to cars including BMW 5 Series including 530e and the BMW X5 xDrive40e iPerformance PHEV.

In Q1 you're setting the stage for your success in the coming year – at least, you should be. There are typical mistakes we see sales reps make again and again that get in the way of their ability to achieve an ultra high performer status. We sat down with Brian Burns, host of The Brutal Truth About Sales & Selling, to talk about five mistakes that can be easily avoided in Q1.

Rise Up to the Challenge What did you accomplish in 2017? Did you build or work on something you can be proud of? If so, you have a chance to build on that momentum in 2018. If not, you have a clean slate to get your hands dirty and put in work. I say it all the time, but you have insane amounts of potential buried inside you. Yet the road to mining it won't be easy. You're gonna deal with plenty of shit to get to the sunshine as mentioned in last week's episode. This year is your opportunity to rise up to the challenge of taking initiative, being prepared to say yes and knowing when to say no. Create Your Own Door Opportunities are out there to be had, but they won't knock if you haven't built a door. This one is straight from Tony Diaz of Industry Print Shop on episode 56. It all boils down to being proactive instead of reactive. I wouldn't be where I am today had I not gotten uncomfortable and started sharing my art on Instagram. I'd be stuck in my last miserable day job had I not busted my ass working outside of work to build a stellar portfolio. You can't sit around expecting opportunities to be wrapped up in a Gucci bow and gracefully fall into your lap. Nothing in life worth having comes easy and to achieve something you've never had, you have to be willing to do something you've never done. Creating your own luck by building a door looks like: sharing the early stages of your work even though it looks like trash to you starting a side project and marketing yourself through social media reaching out to someone to collaborate with even though they may say no going with your gut even though others advise against it Get out of the bitching and complaining business. Be proactive, hire yourself and join the door building business. Be Prepared When Opportunity Knocks Building a Door Through Blogging Back in June 2015, I took the initiative and started blogging. To be honest, I sucked ass in the beginning, but little did I know I was launching my public speaking career. Only a year into blogging, I was offered my first speaking gig by my good friend Diane Gibbs in February 2016. Diane is a door builder for other people and she makes things happen. The opportunity she gave me was a keynote at a conference called Flourish in Mobile, AL with attendance ranging from 100-150 people. When she asked if I was interested, every bone in my body wanted to scream out "no." What If I Said No? Looking back on it now, this was a monumental moment in my creative career. If I would've declined the challenge, I wonder where I would be today? Thankfully I said yes as I practiced my ass off and gave a solid first speech. A few weeks later I got a call from Mike Jones, the creator of Creative South. He offered me a speaking slot at a conference that sells out at 800 people each year. Again, every bone in my wanted to scream no, but I rose to the challenge. Since then I have spoken in front of hundreds of people at conferences like Crop, Pop-Up Crop and WMC Fest. It's also helped me land multiple opportunities at local schools, events and conferences. Blogging and speaking have since led to teaching workshops on how to prepare and give a killer talk. Side note: I'll be teaching a workshop on this both at Creative South and Crop Conference in 2018. If you're showing up and investing time into your self and your work, you're bound to manifest some opportunities. The question is, will you be prepared to act on them? Want to help the show grow? Consider supporting the cause on Patreon Be Okay With Saying No Something valuable I learned in 2017 was the power of saying no, even though I wasn't the best at applying it. Simply put, "if it's not a Hell Yes, it's a definite Hell No." That's an easy way to measure opportunities that come your way you'd think? However, I got to a point where so many things felt like a Hell Yes. This caused me to grind myself to exhaustion and neglect relationships. November was a hard lesson learned as I: spoke at a conference in Texas completed not one but two murals taught a lettering workshop got the podcast back to a weekly format stressed myself the fuck out This was all outside a 40 hour day job too. While these all seemed like Hell Yes opportunities, I could've said no to a few of them for the sake of my sanity. Learning when to say no to a great opportunity isn't easy. It's hard to see past it and realize this isn't the last opportunity that'll come your way. Something I'm also applying is writing down a short list of focus priorities within a season. In Q1 of 2018, my focus is solely on building the podcast and delivering killer speeches in February and March. That means saying no to great freelance opportunities, teaching lettering workshops and anything else that pops up. Knowing what's most important to focus on should hopefully make saying no to Hell Yes opportunities a little easier. Stake Your Claim No matter where you are on your creative path, I hope you constantly mine for that potential buried within you. Stop looking for the easy trail and seek out mountains to climb in 2018. It all boils down to how badly do you want it and what are you prepared to do to make it happen? Rise up to whatever challenges come your way this year. Prepare for your opportunities that manifest from climbing mountains. Remember, don't expect a damn thing in this world to be handed to you. Stake your claim and take it.

Mac Gambill is the co-founder and CEO of Nudge, LLC. As the CEO, Mac wears many hats, but his primary roles consist of business development, fundraising, and sales. In his time with Nudge, the company has been recognized as finalists in programs such as RVA Companies to Watch and the Chattanooga Technology Council's Early Innovator Award. Mac was recognized by CIT as being a GAP 50 Finalist, which identified Virginia entrepreneurs most likely to build the next generation of tech companies in the state. In Q1, 2015 Nudge launched a complementary platform for health coaches, called Nudge Coach, that leverages the Nudge technology to streamline the coaching process and help coaches better manage larger client populations. Nudge has also launched Nudge+Coach, introducing an on-demand coaching network to complement the mobile health ecosystem, allowing consumers to combine the benefits of their wearables data with a real-life health coach. Listen To Episode 018 As Mac Uncovers Why we are seeing that specific apps and devices are becoming critical tools in both client and patient healthcare management care models How to take these great devices out there and tie them into client care models so that we can increase revenue and also the health outcomes of individuals How Nudge Coach is supporting the disruption and transformation of the role of personal training into coaching for the fitness industry   How digital health coaching and virtual health coaching models can help give trainers and club owners their time back while also serving more clients towards better health Understanding the 3 core issues for using wearables in the fitness industry: Data access Data intelligence Seamless virtual coaching Uncovering "collaborative care" and the convergence of fitness and health care, both in the private side of healthcare, whether it’s concierge medical groups with membership models or fitness pros collaborating with healthcare professionals How wearables and virtual wellness services for healthcare and wellness providers complement the consumer UI/UX and deliver a better healthcare experience across the board How to use wearables, email marketing, and virtual coaching together in lead capture strategies Top 3 Takeaways From The Show  What we can now do with digital offerings and digital models that a lot of businesses are interested in is tap into audiences that are outside driving distance from the club. With mobile health, clubs can not only extended their business reach outside the four walls, but also dramatically increase their target audience - which yields greater financial success while helping more people in their health and wellness.  Mac believes that the data is showing the collaborative care model is growing, with the convergence of fitness and health care, both in the private side with concierge medical groups with membership models and also by fitness pros collaborating with healthcare professionals to create a new environment around the consumer and the client. Mobile health technology in and out of the fitness industry is already changing lives and poised for growth. Mac believes that mobile health is a large piece of the puzzle, but what needs to occur to use this technology for a healthier world is the rise of the tech enabled fitness professional who uses strategic communication with their clients. The data is great, but data without contextualized feedback is just not effective.  Power Quotes From Mac "We are approaching the day and age where fitness pros realize it does not have to be either them or the device. I think in the past that professionals might’ve been skittish about digital health and seen it as competition, but what were seeing now is this marriage is coming together." -  Mac Gambill on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "Collaborative care is growing and were starting to see the convergence of fitness and health care, both in the private side of healthcare with concierge medical groups with membership models and also fitness professionals collaborating with healthcare professionals to create a new environment around the consumer and the client." - Mac Gambill on the Fitness + Technology Podcast “Being the founder of a technology company, I know we build some really great things, but at the end of the day the value is really provided by the professional. In as much as I want to say our technology is going to change lives, I know we are just a part of the puzzle. What we now know needs to occur is the tech enabled professional who uses strategic communication. Data is great, but data without contextualized feedback is just not effective. - Mac Gambill on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned From Mac Mac Gambill on LinkedIn Nudge University Nudge Website Nudge on Twitter Nudge on facebook Nudge on Linkedin Delta Life Fitness Wellness Force Radio - Mac Gambill  ScaleWell Podcast Rock Health Reports Mailchimp Nudge + Coach App Connects Health Data to a Real-Life Coach The 2017 FIT-C Tech Trends Report Support This Podcast Leave a 5 star review on iTunes Share this episode with someone you care about Contact FIT-C for podcast sponsorship and partnership opportunities  Download the 2017 Tech Trends report Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.

It's Google Pac-man day - Google has become famous for changing its logo for special events, but it has never converted it into a playable game before. Today, it is celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pac-Man's launch in Japan with a version that lets you steer your pizza-shaped protagonist* around a maze that spells out Google's name – at least for as long as you can evade the ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky and ClydeTo play, simply click the button that usually says "I'm feeling lucky" but now has the legend "Insert Coin". However, if you don't do anything, the game will start by itself.If you click twice on "Insert Coin" then two people can play. Ms Pac-Man joins the game, with the second person controlling her movements using the WASD keys.
