数码教练短缺中

以下三件事都是真的:
1 数码科技,尤其是电脑和手机,可以促使生产力急剧提高
2 数码科技的使用者中,小型企业和个人越来越多
3 大多数的数码科技的使用者,对于如何把钱花在刀刃上毫无概念
“哦,我以前不知道,原来我可以这样做啊。”
“你的意思是,其实我用不着手工录入地址簿?”
“Excel里还可以做图表?”
“Gmail是免费的?”
我还没见过这样的工作人员:他们每小时收费100美元,听你讲讲你做的什么以及如何做的,然后他们告诉更好的办法。他们整理数据,把数据放在正确的地方。他们检查各组人员使用技术的方式,以帮助提高迅速提高效率。他们接管电脑后台,整理设置,然后电脑工作得更顺畅。
再举一些例子:告诉人们如何备份。向人们展示如何在路上也能查收email。帮助人们了解如何恰当的利用网络人际关系(并且在不适当的时候发出警告)。让餐馆经营者看到如何利用OpenTable提高上座率,或是建立博客(以及RSS 订阅)同忠实顾客方便快捷的进行沟通。教授一个企业跟踪自己在Technorati上的排名。
这是一个成长中的领域。你终于拥有了这些可以营销自己的工具,更好的是,你收取500或者1000美金而带来的生产力的提高绝对是颇有价值-事实上,那是无法估量的。
我打赌你一定就在什么地方。我打赌很多人正在找你。在这个数码教练的展示区里,各位快快现身吧……

A shortage of digital coaches
from Seth’s Blog by Seth Godin
Here are three things that are true:
1. Digital technology, especially computers and cell phones, can dramatically increase productivity.
2. More and more users of digital technology are small firms or individuals.
3. The vast majority of users of digital technology are totally lame in getting the most out of the investment of their time and money.
“Oh, I didn’t know I could do that.”
“You mean I don’t have to manually type my address book in by hand?”
“There are graphs in Excel?”
“Gmail is free?”
Here’s what I haven’t found: people who charge $100 an hour to hear what you do and how you do it and then show you how to do it better. People who organize data and put it in the right place. People who overhaul the way small groups use technology so they can use it dramatically better. People who use copilot to take over a PC and actually rearrange it so that it works better.
More examples: Teach people to back up. Show them how to check their email on the road. Help them understand how to use online networking when it’s appropriate (and warn them when it’s not). Show a restaurant how to use OpenTable to keep the place full, or to use a blog (with an RSS feed) to easily communicate with loyal customers. Teach a company to keep tabs on itself with Technorati.
This is a growth area. The tools are finally in place to market yourself, and even better, the productivity increases you can produce for $500 or $1,000 are not just valuable, they’re actually priceless.
I bet you’re out there. I bet there are people looking for you. Show yourself on this showcase for digital coaches…
