Would you rather your project be effective or efficient? Why not both? If you're using new tools but following 15-year-old processes, you're wasting time and money.

To be successful at sales prospecting, you need to reach out and connect with customers in a meaningful way. Confidence, charisma, and resourcefulness are all wonderful attributes to have as a salesperson. Still, historically you had to get your foot in the door with a cold call or email that caught the prospect's attention before they could learn all those things about you and want to connect.
Now that we live in a remote selling world and have video to work with, you can cold "call" a potential customer using a video and show them all those things at first click.
The beauty of sales prospecting with video is that in just under two minutes, you can catch a prospect's attention by emailing a video personalized made just for them. You can also help put a face to a name and show who you are.
We’ve rounded up 10 useful templates and ideas to help you get started using video in your prospecting efforts.

From the Ground Up: Building a WordPress Business – A WordCamp TalkSeth Shoultes
I've been using WordPress for over ten years and running a business around it for over eight years. Before that, I worked various construction jobs, then ran a small website development business and dabbled in all kinds of CMS's, then moved on to work as a front-end developer in a marketing position at an international medical coding and billing education company. While I worked there, I developed their WordPress websites and built various in-house plugins, at the same time I stayed up every night after work developing the early versions of Event Espresso for my wife's scrapbooking business. Due to the material costs and flaky customers, she wasn't willing to shell out fees to Eventbrite. Since there weren't any good plugins (IMO) at the time, I found an abandoned plugin that handled registrations, then added PayPal. Since I never heard back from the original developer, I ended up releasing and marketing my plugin under a different name. After a while, it got to where I was supporting it so much that I had to quit my full-time job to work on developing the plugin, supporting customers, and growing the business around the plugin. Somewhere along the way, I picked up my co-founder, Garth Koyle, we entered the Utah Entrepreneur Challenge in 2011 and won the grand prize of $40,000 for our business idea. At the time, we had just released the first version of our mobile apps, which allowed onsite ticket scanning and attendance tracking. Then in 2015, we launched our software as a service company, called Event Smart, which is powered by WordPress and Event Espresso.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

7 Core Competencies of a WordPress Web Designer
Develop a Strong Foundation and Become a True Professional
9. +
Seven Core Competency Framework
• Web Design Agency If you’re working on websites in an agency setting, your work will
be defined by your role on the team: project manager, web designer, web developer,
UX designer, content strategist, copywriter, SEO Specialist
• Freelancer If you’re building websites as a freelancer, no matter what your
background, technician, web designer or developer, you’ll have to play all of these
roles. If you don’t have a particular skill or ability you’ll have to know enough about the
skill you don’t have to know what an excellent outcome is even to hire someone to
partner with for that part of the work. .

Can You See. . .
• It’s not your fault if you’re in Phase 2 - Conscious Incompetence. It’s a normal
and uncomfortable part of learning any new skill.
• But, the longer you stay in Phase 2 trying to learn these seven competency
areas yourself, the higher the likelihood you’re going to get frustrated and quit.
• Your journey would be far less treacherous and go so much faster if you had a
proven path to follow and a guide to help you along.

Matter What Level You are When You Start.
• How to Choose the Framework Best for You
WordPress Skills
16. +
TELL ME IN THE CHAT
You spend a lot of time searching for the perfect theme or theme
framework for each and every project.
You’ve never got to the point with a theme where you feel like an
expert and can make it your own.
17. +
TELL ME IN THE CHAT
You find a theme and spend a lot of time getting the site to look
great and then you find out something horrible about it.
• The site loads slow no matter what you do.
• There’s an error and the theme developer drops out of sight.

AM I CLAIRVOYANT?
NO! I’ve been there.
And, I remember what it was like back then
I now have a small agency making effective websites for our
clients
I’m passionate about helping others get through that period
of conscious incompetence period and on to a successful
career.
22. +
Biggest Mistake of Broke Web Designers
Spending hours obsessing over
finding the perfect theme and
doing it again for each new project
you do.
23. +
Here’s Why It’s Deadly to Success
• Once you find a new theme you spend hours learning
how to use each one of them
• You’ll never get proficient in using and customizing a
particular theme framework
• Never feel confident
• Unknown themes may have issues that come up later
•
24. +
What Pro’s Do
Instead. . .
Choose a premium theme framework.
Learn to customize it.
Use it as the base for all of the
websites you build.
25. +
What Pro’s Don’t
1. Never Use a Free Theme From a Search Online!
2. Never Make a Custom Site from Scratch.
26. +
What type of theme frameworks exist?
Some have many child theme templates that use widget areas for
customization of the home page (StudioPress)
Some are drag and drop Frameworks
(Beaver Builder Theme, Bakery, Layers, Headway, Divi)
Check theme developers out at: https://wordpress.org/themes/commercial
Don’t Use Free Themes from online searches, ever
27. +
Why Use a Theme Framework?
Trusted Development Company
Support with upgrades
Community of people to learn from
Ease of Development
Built-in Functionality
Code Quality
28. +
What is a Theme Framework?
Theme Frameworks use a Parent-Child concept for theme development. The
base code for functionality resides in the Parent theme.
Custom styling and any new functionality is added to a Child theme so that later
when the parent theme is updated, the customizations don’t get overwritten.
29. +
Disadvantages of a theme framework?
The good ones are not free
There is a learning curve
Includes code for features you may never use

CHOOSING A THEME FRAMEWORK
Depends on Skill Level

31. + CHOOSING A THEME FRAMEWORK
StudioPress GENESIS Theme Framework
Home Page is Based on Widget Areas
32. STUDIOPRESS
• One of the most reputable theme development shops
• User community of over 200,000
• Stellar support and ongoing upgrades and updates
• HOME page design layout flexibility without coding
33. WHY STUDIOPRESS
• Beginners and Non-Designers Can’t Go Wrong
• Start with it to get a feel for web layouts and designs
34. PAGE BUILDERS NOT BEST FOR
BEGINNERS
Offering someone who is not a
skilled web designer unlimited
design possibilities is not the
best idea.
36. CONSIDER WHAT TYPE OF SITE YOU”RE
BUILDING
• Blog
• Simple business website
• Photographer or artist’s portfolio
• Non-profit
• Web design agency
• Feminine or masculine branding
37. IGNORE NICHED THEMES
Foodie Pro is not just for food sites.
Get creative by looking at the styling
and structure of a Child Theme rather
than the title of the theme or the
photos used
in the demos.

Customization Journey with Genesis for a Beginner or
Non-Designer
Use Built in Theme Options & Client’s Text and Images
Add client’s logo
Choose colors, menus, and other options available in the
theme’s customizer
Choose how to layout the site using or not using home page
widget areas
Add client’s images and content to the site
48. LAYOUT AND CODING STAGE
Use the Beaver Builder Plugin along with
the Dambuster Plugin with StudioPress.

Developing skills in these seven core competency areas will provide you with the competence and confidence you need in order to transform your ability to attract clients, charge them going rates and build client effective websites that will work to grow their businesses.
Developing skills in these seven core competency areas will provide you with the competence and confidence you need in order to transform your ability to attract clients, charge them going rates and build client effective websites that will work to grow their businesses.
The four stages of competence Noel Burch in the 1970s
Unconscious incompetence The individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit. They may deny the usefulness of the skill. The individual must recognize their own incompetence, and the value of the new skill, before moving on to the next stage.[2] The length of time an individual spends in this stage depends on the strength of the stimulus to learn.[3]
Conscious incompetence Though the individual does not understand or know how to do something, he or she does recognize the deficit, as well as the value of a new skill in addressing the deficit. The making of mistakes can be integral to the learning process at this stage.[4]
Conscious competence The individual understands or knows how to do something. However, demonstrating the skill or knowledge requires concentration. It may be broken down into steps, and there is heavy conscious involvement in executing the new skill.[3]
Unconscious competence The individual has had so much practice with a skill that it has become "second nature" and can be performed easily. As a result, the skill can be performed while executing another task. The individual may be able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it was learned.

Even though there is a learning curve, and they cost a little bit of extra money, in our opinion you should use a theme framework. Overtime, they speed up development time. It allows you to follow industry standards. Last but not least, you get great support from the developing team as well as others who are part of the community.
