Introducing Walk and Roll Live – Disability Stories

 Hey friends, I’m excited to share something that’s very close to my heart—my podcast, Walk and Roll Live - Disability Stories . It’s more than just a podcast. It’s a place where voices from the disability community come together to inspire, inform, and uplift. Whether you're someone living with a disability, a caregiver, an advocate, or just someone curious about the strength of the human spirit, this show is for you. Why I Started Walk and Roll Live As a polio survivor and lifelong advocate, I’ve experienced firsthand the power of sharing stories. Over the years, I’ve met so many incredible individuals who are navigating life in creative, courageous, and resilient ways despite the challenges that disability can bring. I felt there needed to be a space where these stories could be told, celebrated, and heard far and wide—and that’s how Walk and Roll Live was born. What We Hope to Accomplish Our mission is simple: to amplify voices in the disability community and break down b...

What is Call Retention

Image
  Hello. I’m back again with another blog. Two days in a row. I'm on a roll. This time I do want to talk a little bit about an effective on hold message. And really that starts with having one. I've been doing this now for close to 30 years. When I started, I didn't really know how important an on hold message was. I primarily thought of it as a way to advertise some of the services that your business performed that your customers may not know about. Meaning they may call a print shop because they want business cards but while listening to your message they learn that you do wedding invitations or can print large signs. One of the things that I told my clients was that it would help them reduce hang ups otherwise known as call retention. It wasn't the first thing I told them about. I thought it would be nice but didn't think it was enough to lead with. But then as time went by I realized that every client I got back in touch with after installing their on hold messa...

I'm Back

  Hello. It has been a while. Yes, life was busy for a while. And I was not able to keep up with blogging. But, I'm retired now and hopefully I can get back to blogging more consistently. This used to be the please hold marketing blog. But now it is the ProDougtions blog. For a lot of reasons that I won't bore you with and take the time to get into I did away with Please Hold Marketing. That was my business where I did custom on hold messages for business. But I also do voiceover, narration and other commercial voicework. That was done under ProDougtions. So, I had the bright idea to do away with Please Hold Marketing and put everything that I do under one umbrella called ProDougtions. Which I already had a website for. That's the short story, if you want to hear the full story send me a request and maybe I'll get into it someday. Not really that exciting though. So if you know anybody in business or has need in their private life for any voice work, it could be a b...

New Business Needs

Image
At my Top Source Networking meeting this morning our computer guy, Mike Borger , talked about new business start ups keeping in mind their computer needs as they are planning the layout of their new office space. It got me to thinking the important things a business needs as they are getting started. Some obvious as in desks and other office furniture, office equipment, office supplies, electronics and so forth. And there's the materials with which to do business, letterhead, business cards, presentations, etc. I'd also like to take this opportunity to remind you of a businesses advertising needs.  Along with the ones most business owners think of, newspaper, radio, magazines, brochures an more, there is a very inexpensive yet effect tool to help your business grow it's image and sales. The on hold message. Visit ProDougTions.com and learn more about this form of marketing, listen to demonstration recordings of what it can sound like. Then give us a call and we'll get ...
