General Consultant Discussion

Should we press release Meeting of The Minds? I think it might have great PR value.

Great. Are we going to list our sponsors?

The only concern is that not everyone in SC is on the attendance list so there could be questions about why everyone isn't invited but I think we would write the release to answer those types of questions. Yes we can provide sponsor info.

It was a 90minds event not oasis so I think we will be ok.

Remember oasis is paid too so I guess I don't know what you mean?

Just remember that the invitees were PAID members of 90 Minds, not just a member............

He means PAID 90 Minds event.

Dawn, Ed W. and Big Louie are in the legacy 90 Minds group, but their companies elected not to be a paid member. So they weren't invited to the conference.

got it . -

Pitch in - I'll get it started Note The original document for some reason is unreachable at the link below thought the main service remains up. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FhaZVoxlfsg8NzOtlI1cBByqdMyn-IXPhDdWwwlOdXc/edit

Leave it to @WayneSchulz to find some web service like this...cool

Doesn't want to load for me. Tried twice.....

it is working for me :)

Made some contributions and then was disconneted.

Yes the changes should stick - I find that the service is very spotty in terms of connectivity - definitely more of a consumer level online system

I'll press release this Monday. Unfortunately only three people bothered to make any sort of effort to edit this - so those are the three URL's you'll see listed in the press release. If after this release is out and distributed you have the question of ""Hey Wayne why wasn't my name / website listed"" -- please do not email me. I will delete your email and not reply. Come prepared to play or sit on the sidelines and watch (without complaining)

I was in on Friday and it disconnected me. Just added my info in.

Added - here's what should be a better link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FhaZVoxlfsg8NzOtlI1cBByqdMyn-IXPhDdWwwlOdXc/edit

Are these the same doc?

Wayne, I made some adjustments and left posted a question for one of the lines.

Just because you're not watching the Super Bowl!

DIY channel has had the Tolilet Bowl series going all day long. Does that count?

Please add names and a link to your web site (if you haven't already). I'll send the release end of day Monday.

Sorry I missed this last week. I just added my information. Is the official name 90 Minds or 90 Minds Consulting Group? I think the press release should be consistent.

I cleaned up some of the formatting and modified some of the language as well.

Added Sage HRMS (formerly Sage Abra HRMS) and made a few format changes.

Yes and I'm going to bring a knife and fork to San Diego so I can cut their meat too...

I'm thinking that it would be good form to include all attendees if we are including any. Otherwise the attendee list should be stricken as it looks kind of ... weak ... with just six names listed.

What do we do about the folks that haven't listed their names yet? Can we just add them in? I assume someone has a master list?

I think by Wayne posting the notice here that it's a snooze you lose situation.

I may have to crop some info here if the press release service has a word count and link count limit (which I suspect it might)

Wayne, you could go Mickey Rourke and chew it for them too.

@JohnShaver - Well... I'm pretty active on the forums and I almost missed it so I'm not sure we should adopt a snooze you lose approach. Especially since it was just posted on Friday! I say crop out the attending members. It reads better without them. And even the agenda / presenters could be summarize by stating what topics will be covered. Amd kill the list of cities and products - point them to 90minds.com - all that stuff is there. I would leave in a shout-out for the sponsors.

I'm probably going to need to prune similar to how Peter suggests. I'll look at getting it into PR form tonight with a goal of sending it in the morning or Wednesday.

Wayne - my guy Justin does PR for us all the time and works with quite a few services. Do you want him to do the legwork to post them to the various services? If so, just email him at jbrink@azamba.com and cc me so he knows it's a legit request.

I just updated and cut out a lot of stuff that I don't think we need in the release. Have a look.

Made a couple final tweaks. Start the presses...........

Not bad for a first press release. I think for future ones we should develop a better boilerplate (the section below the press release that defines the organization in three or four sentences.

Made a small change with Altec. Looks good

We can still work on the boilerplate. I will send to a few freebies today.

Here's the first one http://www.prlog.org/11792343-90-minds-consulting-group-announces-inaugural-meeting-of-the-minds-conference.html

Looks great!

I love these free sites. Nice big SWK ad next to our press release. I suggest you all go there and click on it LOL.
