C’mon down for a fun, live game at noon ET, plus today’s lesson

Discover the part communication plays in your client relationships [The Writer’ s Life]( April 3, 2023 "Opening up a conversation can be opening up a world of new possibilities." — Michelle Lederman C'mon down, {NAME}! It's your chance to play The Site is Right, at noon ET today. Join Pam Foster for a fun and interactive session where you'll get some LIVE practice in spotting five key areas on a website … see how you can improve them … write down what you find … … and, most important — learn how you can start earning great fees for it (and how she can help you do it!). This is sure to be an entertaining and informative event, so be sure to join us live at 12 p.m. ET. Pam can't wait to see you there! [Click here to join in on the fun!]( Pam is clearly following in the footsteps of Bob Barker, the hugely popular host of "The Price is Right." 😊 Now 99 years old, Bob starred on the game show for 35 years! Bob was brilliant at getting an interesting snippet of personal information out of a contestant so viewers could better connect with them. Tidbits like if they were in California for a special reason, their hometown or occupation, or why they particularly loved the prize being offered. Making that human connection engaged the audience and increased how vested people were in rooting for them to win. That skill of asking key questions and drawing people out helped make Bob an iconic game show host. Making a human connection is important in building relationships with writing clients also. It's the difference between being a "writer for hire" — brought in for a random project or two — and being a trusted business partner to your clients. Ultimately, you want to be part of 'the team' — the one the client calls first with marketing questions and project needs … Once that happens, your relationship will grow and prosper. You'll get the pick of the projects you take on, and professional fees for your work. The key is to know what two types of questions to ask your clients … And in today's Monday Morning Jumpstart, Chief Success Officer Ted Capshaw reveals those and why you're much more than a professional writer. [AWAI Monday Morning Jumpstart Communication with Clients]( Ted and Jade also talk about a special tactic you should use for the first 10 minutes of your first call with a prospective client, and how a discovery call can be used to set the stage for success. All the advice Ted and Jade share in today's Jumpstart will help you impress prospects and strengthen your human connection with your current clients.
