For years, active shooter drills in Philly schools taught students and teachers to barricade themselves in classrooms. Now, the School District of Philadelphia is implementing a new training known as ALICE - Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, and Evacuate. The idea is to give students and their teachers more ways to respond under pressure. But one of those options, countering, involves trying to distract the shooter. Host Trenae Nuri talks with Eden MacDougall, freelance reporter for Billy Penn and Temple University's Logan Center for Urban Investigative Reporting, about what's driving this change and why the training is controversial.

His life changed drastically in 2011 when he had a heart attack and six month later was diagnosed with cancer.

He decided on creating just such a platform and six weeks later, launched the beta version of UK Health Radio, still fighting cancer at the time. Through Nutritional and Lifestyle changes he finally beat cancer and since then has been named “The Curator of Health Expertise” by the press. His mantra is “Good health is a choice”!

High school is enormously challenging - we attempt to find ourselves in a world projecting a million expectations. Understandably, our teenage past influences our adult present, but in what ways? This week, Mory & Melissa go back to school, and they've got a three-part syllabus. First, why does popularity become such a big deal at fourteen? Second, why do we talk about teenage rebellion so dismissively and how can we raise our compassion for it? Third, why do we experience so many of our peers “peaking” in high school? Tune in for nostalgia about lunch period, a debate about the best high school movie (it's Clueless), and a heavy dose of empathy for teenagers - and parents - just trying to connect with their own inner truths."Juvenoia" by Vsauce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD0x7ho_IYcTo submit questions for future episodes: https://forms.gle/ZhSKGveWox33GvFq6Follow Mory on insta: https://www.instagram.com/moryfontanez/

La protección de datos personales de los clientes en un comercio electrónico es un tema de gran relevancia en la era digital actual. A medida que las compras en línea continúan en aumento, la seguridad y privacidad de la información personal se han convertido en preocupaciones fundamentales tanto para los consumidores como para las empresas que operan en línea. Para saber cómo podemos mantener la privacidad de los datos de nuestros clientes, en este episodio contamos con el conocimiento de Miguel Sumer Elías, que es abogado y fundador y director de Informática Legal, una institución jurídico-educativa especializada en el asesoramiento y formación profesional en cuestiones legales vinculadas al cibercrimen, seguridad informática, protección de datos personales, negocios digitales y uso responsable de Internet. “La protección de los datos personales es algo crucial por varias razones. Primero para cumplir con la ley, porque todos los países tienen normativas que protegen los datos de las personas. Luego para evitar sanciones. Pero hay un punto que es más importante y es la confianza que se genera cumpliendo con las normativas de la protección de datos, porque el usuario final, cuando realiza una transacción comercial por un medio digital, le va a dar mucha importancia a las medidas de seguridad que cuidan su información”, asevera nuestro invitado. Los sitios web pueden recopilar una variedad de información, dependiendo de su propósito y funcionalidad. En general, reúnen datos de contacto, de pago, de registro, como usuario y contraseña, entre otros. “Se genera una base de datos bastante grande de cada persona. Es mucha información entrecruzada que le dan los usuarios a la empresa online”, afirma nuestro especialista. “Para protegerse del acceso no autorizado, las tiendas tienen que tomar medidas técnicas y organizativas de seguridad. Si una empresa de e-Commerce quiere ser responsable en el manejo de datos, una medida organizativa puede ser reestructurar el organigrama y los cargos para darle mayor relevancia no sólo a la seguridad de la información, sino también darle un área específica al cumplimiento de las normativas de datos personales”, opina Miguel, y agrega: “Las medidas técnicas están más asociadas a tomar todos los recaudos que sean necesarios para disminuir las brechas de seguridad y los accesos no autorizados a terceros. No es lo mismo un e-Commerce de zapatos que otro de temas médicos. Las medidas de seguridad van de un nivel leve a un nivel grave, que se van adaptando a esas situaciones”. Muchas páginas web ya cuentan con documentación donde le proporcionan a sus usuarios información sobre cómo se recopila, utiliza, comparte y protege la información personal que se reúne de ellos durante su interacción con el sitio. A esta se la conoce como “políticas de privacidad”. “Esos textos, que mucha gente acepta y casi nadie lee, especifican todas las medidas que se toman, los derechos que tienen los usuarios sobre sus propios datos, etc. Esa es la herramienta que tiene el usuario de consulta para ver si le da confianza o no esa plataforma a la hora de hacer transacciones comerciales”, explica nuestro invitado. Sin embargo, lamenta que “la seguridad al 100 por ciento no es posible”: “Aclarado esto, no es lo mismo tomar medidas leves de seguridad a tomar todas las medidas que existen en el mercado, porque uno va disminuyendo el riesgo y su responsabilidad legal”, resalta nuestro especialista, y subraya: “La empresa va a tener responsabilidad, pero no es lo mismo una responsabilidad tomando todas las medidas necesarias que no tomando ninguna”. Como último consejo, Miguel alienta a tomar medidas internas dentro de la empresa que ayuden a mantener la seguridad y la confianza de los usuarios en los servicios y productos de una empresa. “Una empresa tiene que implementar medidas internas. No todos los del equipo tienen que tener el mismo nivel de acceso a la base de datos. Tienen que haber permisos y políticas de seguridad para que no haya acceso de personas no autorizadas”, sostiene. Y finalmente sugiere que los emprendedores consideren a la seguridad de la información “como una prioridad”: “Si pierden eso, pierden la credibilidad y el negocio”, remata.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Every digital agency struggles with some of the most common sales objections. I'm here to tell you how to turn those around and convert more prospects into clients, faster and easier. Have you ever felt your agency's proposal knocked it out of the park only to have the prospect put you off? It happens to all of us. You put your energy and effort into a stellar proposal only to receive a lackluster response like “Let me talk to my partner”, “let me see if we have the money”, or my personal favorite “Send me more information”. Are these responses just to put you off or simply objections that can be flipped into a more favorable response? In this video, I go through some of the most common objections and how you can actually respond and determine if they can be flipped so you can train your team to handle objections effectively and close more business. The best marketing salespeople answer questions before they're asked. How to do this? By being transparent and sharing their exact process to build trust. Of course, questions and objections will still be raised, but if you answer 90% of the unasked questions then your salesperson can come in with that extra 10% and bring it to the finish line. I firmly believe there are no bad agency CLIENTS, only bad PROSPECTS or bad PROCESS. So how do you know if your prospect has a true objection or is just wasting your time? There are some steps you can follow to get to the bottom of this faster and turn more of those NO's into YES! Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM #1 Agency Sales Objection: Send Me More Information If you give your pitch and the prospect's reaction is that they still want more information, this can mean one of two things, either something's missing or you're just getting a nice put-off. It can be difficult to determine which one it is, which is why I recommend asking these three simple questions: What, When, and Why. ‘What information would you like me to send you?' This will help you determine what's missing from your proposal and what else they need to know before saying yes. ‘When would you like me to send you this information?' You want to follow up with the right information at the right time to increase your chances of working together. ‘Why do you need this additional information?' This way you can understand more about the specific goals the prospect is trying to achieve. Moreover, it may also reveal whether you're speaking to the right decision-maker or not. Perhaps they need more information to pass along to their boss or business partner. In that case, you need to get in front of the right person to answer their questions accurately. If someone is blowing you off, they won't have good answers to these questions. On the other hand, a good prospect who is genuinely interested in working with your agency will have very specific information they're requesting, a timeline, and a reason. Pro Tip: If it turns out it is a good prospect who just needs more information, then yes, commit to sending the information but also make sure to schedule the next meeting right then and there. That's how you're going to close the deal and stop wasting time on the wrong prospects. #2 Agency Sales Objection: Let me Think About It You spend lots of time on the prospect only to hear ‘Let me think about it”. It's frustrating and unfortunately very common. Luckily, there's an easy solution that just needs a couple of upfront questions. If it's a legitimate objection, then you can prevent issues by gathering more information. When I hear ‘Let me think about it' it's usually due to one of three reasons: The prospect remains unclear about the plan. You may be using jargon that makes it confusing to the client when you should actually be talking to them about stuff they know. The prospect is unclear about the results. Remember you're not selling your agency services to your prospect, you're selling them results. Do they understand how your solution will ease their pain and solve their issues? Have you established trust and authority in order to build their confidence in your ability to deliver? Your agency isn't clear on one or more elements of the NBAT criteria. The NBAT criteria (Need, Budget, Authority, and Timeline) is the best way to qualify your prospect so you don't have to waste time with the wrong ones. So as you prepare for your next business pitch, instead of dreading one of these lines, approach the pitch more proactively. Make sure you're clearly defining the plan and results and that prospects have a full understanding of the NBAT. Once you have that covered, you'll dramatically reduce and even eliminate this objection. #3 Agency Sales Objection: We've Had a Bad Agency Experience The first impression can be everlasting, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent. Unfortunately, many times you can be held accountable for negative impressions left by an awful experience with a bad agency. This experience can become an objection because the prospect doesn't fully understand what separates your agency from the rest. There's nothing you can do with regard to that past bad experience. It happened and was probably the result of bad communication when it came to expectations and results, strategy, or just a clash of personalities. What you CAN do is educate the prospect that those types of bad experiences aren't the norm. How can you turn it around? Educate them on the plan. Explain exactly how you're planning to achieve their goals and ease their pain points. There's an inherent uneasiness when people don't know what to expect. However, having a clear plan in place will help your prospect feel more confident and assured. Inform them about the systems and processes. Establish clear communication on what you do and how you do it. You need to know and understand what's the issue they're having, what's the impact that issue is having on their business, and what's the level of importance or consequence if they don't address the issue? When the right prospects are properly educated on the process, they'll choose to work with you. However, it requires work to build that relationship. #4 Agency Sales Objection: Do You Have Any References? What if the prospect isn't asking you for more information and instead they want references? Does it hurt or help to use past clients as references for new ones? The request for references goes back to the presence of doubt in the prospect's mind. There's something they're still uncertain about when it comes to working with you. Bottom line, this means there's a hole in your sales process. It's possible that somewhere in the sales process you failed to gain their trust fully. Frankly, giving them a reference will actually hurt your agency. Here's why, you respect your client's time. If you have a prospect call up a client now they're spending their time helping sell you instead of working on their business. A lot of prospects will have questions about your specific strategies, which are your intellectual property. Not knowing any better, your clients might start giving away your secret sauce for free. So when a prospect asks for a reference, counter by asking more questions: What's missing for them? What are they unsure about? Instead of letting a reference or testimonial talk them into or out of working with you, try to answer all their concerns. Finally, tell them you want to share a case story or two instead of a reference. Case stories can often accomplish the same trust-building as a reference without monopolizing your client's time and putting your IP at risk. If after this, they still want a reference, you can do this as a last resort and make sure you have a trusted client or two that previously agreed to be contacted. #5 Agency Sales Objection: Another Agency Will Do It Cheaper After easing the prospect's mind, answering all their questions, and offering all the information, you may find some clients will want to haggle over price. They'll say something like they got a cheaper quote from a different agency. It may be a case of an uninformed prospect who just needs a little bit more formation or a sign this is a bad prospect who's just not a good fit with your agency. Is it really a price issue or are they undervaluing the solution that you'll be providing? Oftentimes, prospects aren't fully educated on the value. So how to combat common price objections? Cheaper does not mean equal. Go back to Issue, Impact, and Importance. Is the lower-cost option really meeting the prospect's objections? Ask them why the other agency's quote is so cheap and let them think through the cost vs. quality difference. Often the cheaper option will mean more work for the client and, don't forget, time is money. Sometimes prospects only see dollar signs and forget to really scrutinize what they're getting. When you initiate conversations like these it helps them second-guess their gut reaction of going with the cheapest option.
