Action Item   Actually I'm going to give you two action items! We'll touch on two topics that Cari mentioned - tracking clients and education.   ACTION:   First, if you're a professional who takes clients or does speaking engagements or writes articles - basically someone who get paid by someone else for work - I want you to start tracking the requests you are getting for work. Who is contacting you, how are they contacting you and what are they asking for? And does the communication lead to paid work? If you are a client researcher, you can track potential clients. If you're a speaker, you can track requests for presentations. If you're a writer you can track your writing proposals. And if you already track all of this I want you to spend some time with your data to see what you can learn from the information.   Second, if you're not a professional I'd like you to focus on one of Cari's other topics - education. If you're a member of APG you could go listen to that webinar she mentioned. The one by Jeanne Bloom about how to track your clients. If you're not an APG member, you could watch a free BCG webinar. They are broadcast live the 3rd Tuesday of every month at FamilyTreeWebinars.com   Direct link to this post: https://www.thegenealogyprofessional.com/cari-taplin
