[Friday Read]: Taking Control Of Your Phone Calls, Business, Videos and Life?

Tips an Resources

Been engrossed in reading Richard Branson’s auto biography this past week and one resounding theme that kept surfacing through the ups and downs of his life is best summarized by Richard himself here:

“My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently accepting unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.“


While some people I talk to rather not risk anything and lose nothing (or so it seems); others choose to set unacheivable challenges for themselves all the time – and they somehow manage to find a way through uncharted waters and triumph!


Very inspiring read for me. Life is in constantly motion; either you are carried by the winds or you are navigating the course. I know which one I prefer.

How Social Media Can Help Doctors And Patients

November 15, 2011 by Louisa Chan Leave a Comment

Social Medical For Doctors

Would you want frantic patients to be able to find you in emergency situations? If so your clinic / medical center would need to show up when and where your patients are looking for you!
I did a recent presentation for doctors and medical professionals on what doctors can and should use to be more accessible and visible on line. After all we work closely with doctors and medical professionals at all major milestones of our lives!
As patients, we want to be able to find trusted doctors wherever we happen to be; whether it is at an known part of town that we have just moved into or when we are on vacation and having fun.
While doctors are professionals who observe strict regulations on advertising and promotion, there are perfectly acceptable avenues for in-bound marketing that are effective and acceptable to the local medical council.
I have included the slides we used at the conference.  If you were there you would recall the discussion – and some fun we had with Jackie Chan.
If you were not there, these slides may not make perfect sense but don’t worry.  If you would like to have a more complete picture of how doctors can tap into social media than you could get a report here. This is a brand new report that I have not shared anywhere else, until now.

Content discussed includes the following:-

– How To Double The Effectiveness of Your Online Presence
– How You Can Easily Rank On Google Local
– How To Catch the 40% of Patients Leaving Your Competitor
– and more
If you want more online visibility and accessibility and to help those looking for you urgently then this report will be relevant and helpful to you. Read through and let me know your feedback. It is good to have comments from you so we can make this even more clearer.

Slides/Notes On How Doctors Need To Use Social Media Today:

Oops, the above will not play on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touches. I have included the embed to make a point – not all platforms are Apple friendly and the vendors will need to catch up! If you like to have the deck of slides just contact us and I will send them to you.
We did not have enough time to talk about getting mobile ready although we did touch on it. Suffice to say, Google is now pushing and helping businesses to get mobile ready. In the next year or so, businesses will do well to get their website mobile friendly, m-commcerce ready and to start generating traffic using mobile platform.
I hope you find this report useful and practical. If you have any questions just post them at the comments below or post them at the Louisa Chan’s Facebook Page and I will be responding with a video or a blog post.

Go Mobile Or Pay The Price?

November 7, 2011 by Louisa Chan Leave a Comment

Checking In With Your Mobile Phone In More Than One Ways

OK When you hear the word “Check in”, popular Location Based Social Media platform like Foursquare may come to mind. And indeed these days people are checking in with their mobile devices every where they go; whether it is at a restaurant or a hospital!
In fact, if you are not careful your clients may be checking into your business centers, creating unofficial venues for your business and misrepresenting you. It will be worthwhile to have this checked out by your Marketing Agent.
And yet there is yet another kind of “checking in” that is encouraged through the use of a mobile phone.  The airlines are NOW asking that you check in with your mobile phone – unless you want to pay more! That is the way forward.  Go Mobile!
Check In With Your Mobile Phone
Here’s an invitation from the airline asking me if I want to check in through the web / phone or if I want to pay extra to check in at the counter. In the States, airlines are using QR Codes to check in.
When I talk to businesses in Kuala Lumpur, they agree that mobile is the way to go. More transactions are taking place everyday that involves mobile devices. While some are taking definite steps to get mobile ready others have this on their To-Do list.
The way things are going, it will be very soon (a matter of a 12 or 18 months) before businesses will be scrambling to get mobile ready – because the amount of activity taking place on mobile will supersede that of the PC. If you are not mobile ready, you will be left out.
If you have not given this much thought then this is a good time to start considering, planning and implementing – because your clients are already using their mobile devices and your competitors are getting mobile ready. It is a case of the market being ready while businesses are still trying to play catch up!
Ignore the mobile platform and risk being left out of the sphere of one third of internet users who surf using their mobile devices (think mobile phones, tablets like Samsung, iPad and iPod Touches).
If this is something you like to discuss just drop us a note and we will be in touch.
If you have any questions just post them at the comments below and I will be responding with either a video or a blog post.

[Friday Read]: How To create QR codes and closing more sales with flames

Tips an ResourcesThe sky is dark, the trees are swaying wildly in the strong wind; it’s tundering and pouring! I hope the weather will brighten up when I get to Langkawi.

Excitement mounting; the schedule is out and my flight is booked. I will be speaking on the use of Social Medical to about 100 medical professionals at a medical symposium in beautiful Langkawi in November!


Yeah! For once doctors will need to listen to me 🙂


This week I revealed the secret to creating your own QR codes. You can try it out and let me know how things go.


I am also pondering on how to close more sales and an old post came to mind and it has to do with flames..
