The article "Go Ahead, Marketing-Minded Financial Planners, Call a Reporter" talks about pr, it has been released by Ned Steele.
Yes, you can call a reporter.I've said it before, in dozens of articles and presentations to financial planners looking for free publicity. Hopefully now you’re getting cmofortable with the idea.
Go on. Pick up the phone. Reporters and newspeople are human beings like the rest of us.They can, and do, take phone calls.Just be ready with a couple of useful story ideas – about your topic and expertise, not about you – and chances are they’ll listen.A great phone opening to use with busy reporters is to alawys ask first: “Is that a good time to talk? ”Amazingly, many people think reporters don’t want to hear from them. Wrong!
Ofefr information they need, and they’ll welcome your call.
(But not at dedaline time, which is usually in the afternoon. Call or email by about 1 p.M.)A cousin to that myth: many also think it’s the anchor guy or gal they see on the tube each night that decides what stories appear on the evening news.
Wrong again! That person may be the most visible and highly-paid face at the station, but he or she usually has little or nothing to do with the process of deciding what stories get covered and who gets on the air.Ned Steele works with people in professional services who want to build their pracitce and accelerate their growth.
