As luck would have it, when you have the most popular morning talk show in the state of Mississippi there's a good chance that someone you're talking about might be listening to the show and that's exactly what happened this morning when a man who was featured in a viral video from over the weekend that showed him being arrested by Ridgeland Police for what looked to be nothing more than him cussing them out calls in to give a detailed account from his perspective. While I still disagree with him I do however respect him for calling in, being respectful and keeping his cool well enough to have a conversation about a polarizing topic with someone like me.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Fabian Ober, Leiter Maklervertrieb Norddeutschland und zentrale Maklerbetreuung beim Versicherungskammer Maklermanagement, über die Zukunft der Maklerbetreuung. Wir beleuchten, wie die Digitalisierung den traditionellen, persönlichen Ansatz verändert und welche Herausforderungen und Chancen sich daraus ergeben. Fünf Highlights der Folge: Digitalisierung ja, aber nicht unpersönlich: Fabian betont, dass digitale Tools wie Video-Calls und Social Media die persönliche Beziehung zum Makler nicht ersetzen, sondern ergänzen. Persönliche Treffen bleiben wichtig, vor allem für den Aufbau und die Pflege langjähriger Beziehungen. Digitale Tools optimieren hingegen die Effizienz, insbesondere bei der Ansprache einer großen Anzahl von Maklern. Tracking und Prozessoptimierung: Wir diskutieren, wie wichtig es ist, die Effizienz der Maklerbetreuung zu tracken und zu optimieren. Hierbei geht es nicht nur um die reine Datenmessung, sondern auch darum, die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse für eine verbesserte, zielgerichtete Betreuung zu nutzen. Diese Prozessorientierung stellt für viele Unternehmen jedoch noch eine große Herausforderung dar. Relevanz über Personalisierung: Wir sprechen über die Herausforderung, relevante Kommunikation an viele Makler zu senden. Dabei stellen wir fest, dass massenhaft versendete E-Mails oder Newsletter oft ignoriert werden. Der Fokus muss auf relevantem Content liegen, der den individuellen Bedürfnissen der Makler entspricht. Eine persönliche Ansprache, selbst bei skalierten Kampagnen, ist entscheidend. Community statt Produktfokus: Fabian beschreibt erfolgreich eingeführte Veranstaltungen und Netzwerke, die nicht primär produktfokussiert sind. Stattdessen steht der Austausch zwischen Maklern und der gegenseitige Wissensaustausch im Vordergrund. Diese Community-Ansätze stärken die Bindung an das Unternehmen und fördern langfristige Beziehungen. Mindset-Wandel als größte Hürde: Wir kommen zu dem Schluss, dass die größte Hürde für ein modernes Maklermanagement nicht die Technik, sondern der Mindset-Wandel ist. Viele Unternehmen und Makler müssen sich erst an die neuen Prozesse und die damit verbundene Datennutzung gewöhnen.

Peter Von Panda reviews the iContact Camera Pro—a webcam designed to help you maintain eye contact during virtual meetings by positioning the camera at screen-center. While the concept is appealing, Peter dives into the pros and cons, from the handy pivoting arm to the frustrating limitations like lack of tilt flexibility, absence of a privacy cover, and no recording indicator light. Is it worth the wait and the high price, or do other center-screen webcams offer better value? If you're looking to enhance connection on video calls, listen in to see if the iContact Camera Pro is the right fit for you. ▶ Get this product here: https://icontactcamera.com/products/i... ▶ Get center cam here: https://geni.us/HRLcD ---------- LET'S TALK ABOUT LIVING BETTER: ▶ Podcast: https://geni.us/FtGAT4 ▶ My Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/petervonp... ---------- IF YOU'D LIKE TO SHOW SOME LOVE: ▶ Buy My Book: https://geni.us/qwbZAE ▶ Become A Channel Member: https://geni.us/AA3Jk ▶ Patreon:   / petervonpanda   ▶ Merch: https://petervonpanda.storenvy.com/ ▶ Free Panda Group: https://panda-research-institute.mn.co FOLLOW MY OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS: ▶ Instagram:   / petervonpanda   ▶ Facebook:   / petervonpanda  

Sie gehören zu den sichtbarsten CEOs auf LinkedIn und sind ein Vorbild für viele mittelständische Unternehmen: Gerda Söhngen und Christian Schmidt von KEIL Befestigungstechnik. In meiner neuesten Podcastfolge berichten die beiden, wie sie es innerhalb von fünf Jahren geschafft haben, ihr Unternehmen vom Hidden Champion zu maximaler Sichtbarkeit zu bringen. Dabei spielte auch Video eine große Rolle. Sie sprechen über die ersten Hürden vor der Kamera, warum Outtakes nicht nur lustig, sondern auch sympathisch sind, und wie sie durch Videos ihre Personal Brand gestärkt haben. Überraschend war für mich, warum Pinterest für sie als Inspirationsquelle und Marketing-Tool immer wichtiger wird. Ein Thema war auch die Frage, die viele Unternehmen im Zusammenhang mit digitaler Sichtbarkeit beschäftigt: Könnte Offenheit in der Kommunikation manchmal zu viel preisgeben – oder ist Transparenz nicht doch eine Stärke? Ein weiteres Thema ist die Rolle von Videos im Vertrieb: Von Tutorials bis hin zu Video-Calls nutzen Gerda und Christian Videoformate, um Kunden weltweit zu erreichen und Zeit zu sparen. Dabei wird auch klar, dass der Erfolg oft weniger von aufwendiger Technik als von Authentizität abhängt. Ganz nebenbei lernen wir die kreative Atmosphäre ihres Firmengebäudes kennen und erfahren, wie der persönliche Stil der beiden in ihre Arbeitsräume einfließt. In dieser Folge erfährst Du: ✅ Warum die ersten 30 Videos niemals veröffentlicht werden sollten, ✅ Wieso Transparenz im Unternehmen das Vertrauen stärken kann, ✅ Weshalb Pinterest nicht nur etwas für DIY-Projekte ist, ✅ Wie Tutorials Deine Marktposition stärken können, ✅ Was Gerda und Christian motiviert, ständig Neues auszuprobieren.

IP Telecom, Ireland's innovative telecommunications service provider, has announced the expansion of its connectivity offering to Irish businesses, IPT Broadband, adding Siro, and National Broadband (NBI) connectivity to its existing partnership with OpenEir. The expansion sees IPT Broadband become accessible to over 2.2 Million Irish premises, and the business-to-business offering will plug a gap in the market for SMEs, while ensuring a stable and future-forward connection. Furthermore, when combined with the IP Telecom Hosted Phone System, call quality is optimised across our dedicated Business network, delivering exceptional HD Voice calling and supporting Video Calls and Conference services. IPT Broadband provides superfast Fibre in addition to traditional VDSL (copper-based service), through partnering with OpenEir, Siro, and National Broadband, facilitating Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) and Direct Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) connections, offering ultrafast download speeds of up to 1Gbit/s, for IP Telecom Customers. This collaborative approach, which provides significantly expanded coverage across multiple networks, combined with IP Telecom's track record in broadband delivery over the last five years provides significantly enhanced connectivity for businesses through advanced network infrastructure, and enhanced choice and competitive pricing in the business broadband market. Through prioritising reliable connectivity, the enhanced, wider geographic reach of the IPT Broadband Service allows customers throughout Ireland to optimise their daily operations, such as file sharing, accessing cloud-based tools, utilising Hosted Voice solutions, or facilitating virtual meetings and webinars. "For years, the absence of a mid-market, high-quality solution for Irish businesses has remained a persistent issue, largely due to the inadequate availability of fibre infrastructure - recent reports showed that over half of all Irish businesses (53%) are still not on a fibre broadband connection. IPT Broadband leverages the expanding FTTP coverage provided by various operators to address this gap, particularly benefiting SMEs that do not require high-end services tailored for larger corporations. Through partnering with OpenEir, Siro, and National Broadband and when combined with IP Telecom's hosted phone solutions, IP Telecoms is bringing 21st-century technology to Irish businesses," Robin Russell, CCO of IP Telecom commented on the announcement. This year has seen marked growth for the Irish-owned telecommunications provider, following an investment of €6 million in funding from Development Capital to further the growth the company is experiencing in Ireland. Additionally, March of this year saw the successful acquisition of Centrecom Systems Limited, as IP Telecom continues to solidify its position as a key player in the telecoms landscape. The expansion of IPT Broadband further underscores this mission for the company. Established in 2010 by CEO Shena Brien and Technical Director Brian Chamberlain, the company caters to a diverse range of industries, including technology, IoT, education, transportation & logistics, retail, and agriculture. delivering cutting-edge communication solutions to businesses of all sizes throughout Ireland and is Dublin's foremost VoIP services provider See more stories here.

They discuss the frequency and setup of these video calls, which vary based on individual preferences and insurance coverage. Regarding insurance coverage, Catherine clarifies that while Nutrisense subscriptions are not covered, video calls are eligible for reimbursement through certain insurance providers like Aetna, Cigna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. She encourages listeners to check their eligibility through Nutrisense's website for a hassle-free process. The conversation touches on other upgrades to the Nutrisense platform, including the AI-powered food recognition feature and access to educational resources tailored to users' interests. Catherine mentions improvements to the user interface, such as prioritizing health goals and enhancing the chat functionality with nutritionists. Looking ahead, Catherine mentions recent team expansions and expresses excitement about the current momentum. While no major changes are imminent, Nutrisense aims to continue refining its offerings and providing personalized support to its members.
