Monitoring The Pulse of Healthcare Social Media

Happy Monday and a warm welcome to our new subscribers.

Is developing your professional speaking skills part of your 2019 plans?

I still remember the first presentation I ever did in all its terrifying details.

Knees knocking and voice cracking, I stepped onto the stage, looked out at the crowd before me and wanted to turn and run.

This is not an uncommon feeling for public speakers.

Surveys show that the fear of public speaking ranks as one of the most common phobias among humans.

There’s even a name for it — glossophobia — the fear of public speaking!

I admit my nerves have never completely gone away, but with time I’ve found my voice, developed my own style and even started to enjoy the experience.

In this week's newsletter, I share with you the steps I take each time I prepare my own talks.

These tips should help you get more comfortable, confident, and creative when it’s time to stand and deliver your next webinar training, business or sales presentation.

If you have any speaking tips to share, I'd love to include them too. As you'll see I've crowdsourced tips from other speakers in the article below. Tweet me your tips @JBBC so I can add them to the list.

Have a great week ahead!

Marie

Social Media Cool Tool

Boomerang for Gmail

This week I’m recommending Boomerang for Gmail.

Boomerang allows you to schedule messages to be sent or returned at a later date. Write a message now, send it whenever, even if you’re not online. Track messages to make sure you hear back, and schedule reminders right inside Gmail and know whether your email got read with cross-platform read receipts.

Boomerang also helps you to postpone (“snooze”) incoming emails, by making them disappear from your Inbox into a folder or label, then bringing them back to the top of the message list at the specified time. It helps you keep your Inbox clean, without losing track of important messages. I also like to use the Inbox Pause feature to temporarily pause my Inbox so I can work more productively.

Price: 10 Free message credits per month; unlimited credits $4.99 pm.

As I mentioned in last week's newsletter, for 2019 I am offering email subscribers exclusive discounts on my client services. This is a chance to work directly with me on an aspect of social media that's important to your business. At the start of each month, I will make available one of my services to you at a significantly discounted price.

To kickstart 2019, I am offering a 65% discount off the regular cost of a social media audit.

You'll find more details here. Mention the code JANAUDIT to claim your discount.
