Naomi

This is a followup to a previous entry (IttyBiz) that I felt compelled to write because I wanted to point out something that Naomi does which I find to be quite amazing. Simple, yet smart!

Take a look at her Contact page: http://ittybiz.com/contact/ to see what I’m talking about.

I think it’s very cool that she puts her Phone Number up and invites you to call her. Who does that?!? Isn’t this the Internet? Aren’t we supposed to be anonymous?

So, today I called her to ask about becoming an affiliate because I couldn’t find info about it on her site. (EW! Shiny affiliate links! Go check out her stuff and make your business grow! Online Business School or Marketing 101).

We got to talk for a bit about her stuff and she gave me some advice about my stuff. Actual person-to-person communication. Nice.

What’s crazy is that she tells me she doesn’t get many calls, even from the people that signed up for the SpeakEasy, which has a large component of “Meet others online and work with them,” as well as her constant urging for us to call her with questions.

Are we afraid? Will she be mean OR are we just afraid that we’ll waste her time… because after all, who are WE to bother someone like that?

Give that up! Everyone is just a person and if they are literally inviting you to call, make contact!

So now, why don’t you connect with someone? Write an email to someone who’s blog you like. Find their contact info and give them a call. Who knows how it could change your business or theirs?
