Round Table Intros:

Round Table Intro Question: Name, Twitter Handle and have you heard of the GBox?

• Bonnie said she spent 3 1/2 years in a cubicle with a guy that only talked about video games and peeler bars. So the whole time she listened to music. Leo Laporte was her first podcast. Does she not know what GBox is?

• Margaret said the Bunker Project was the first ever podcast she listened to and she never had a cubicle… she had an office and could shut her door! She doesn’t know what the @#$% GBox is.

• Troy doesn’t know anything about a Box… the electronic box that is. Troy mentions he trains Spandy Andy. Marcel asks who is Spandy Andy?

• James said the GBox is extremely hard to find. He hasn’t heard of it at all.

• Margaret says Norm knows us well enough to mess with us. Marcel said no way… Norm actually cares what we have to say.

• James said that most strippers are gamers now. James said if your going for a stripper pick one that is fiscally minded and forward thinking.

• James first podcast was The Bunker Project or Geek Beat.

• Sanj is wondering what is going on? He signed up for a social media Meetup and everyone is talking GBox? The first podcast Sanj ever listenBed to was also The Bunker Project.

• Marcel has no clue what the GBox is? His first podcast was The Bunker Project! And now he listens to a ton of them and is a podcaster himself.

• Brian hasn’t heard of the GBox but knows about Music Box Dancer. His first podcast was a Blog Talk Radio show that Bonnie did a few years back.

• Roberto in the hangout actually HAS heard about the GBox. Marcel freaks out that he actually knows and the Google Hangout dies…

• Marcel said the universe is against us knowing what the GBox is? But Roberto is back… and it is at www.androidtvbox.us.

• The GBox is a little android microcomputer.

Linked In Question from Carlo:

The Italian Stallion Maven, Carlo, calls in and asks how to use Linked In to get leads for high-end software sales in the medical industry.

• Ian said first and foremost, identify who the purchasers are.

• Second, participate in Linked In groups and people that are looking for a better solution will identify themselves.

• Ian said that to find them you can definitely search on Linked In. He recommends getting a paid Linked In account.

• Identify the pain points that your solution solves and ask questions that will position your product as the solution.

Nimble:

• Nimble is a social CRM that makes it easy to prospect your social media network.
