tolerance" is less important than they'd been led to believe?

return"

6) How can retirement savers identify their goal-oriented target
(i.e., long-term return objective?

Query:

The stock market selloff (triggered by COVID-19) has bounced
back hard off the March lows...

There is still uncertainty of the long term impact of COVID on
investors (savings, retirement preparing and retirement), right?

As we study "what" the elite financial advisors are doing, right
now, to best take care of their clients (& prospects) during
this unprecedented time... We are taking an in-depth look into
the importance of connections (current connections & new ones)
to do this.

The preface: To have any client, a connection, initially, is
required (connections are the common denominator every client
has). These connections lead to: >new
relationships>referrals>clients>new AUM for financial advisors.

Around the need for financial advisors to immediately increase
their connections to help more investors get thru COVID (while
growing their client base & AUM), we have 2 questions for you
(your answer(s) can be a couple of sentences or much longer
explanations):

1.) What is the most unique way you CONNECTED with 1 of your 25
top clients OR what is a key way you make new connections in
this environment?

2.) How do you open yourself up to your top 25 clients to make
it easy for them to CONNECT you with their current relationships
(family, friends, social media)?

Answer just 1 of the 2 or both.

BTW, we are posting this story online* Wednesday at 7 AM PDT.

In the story, we will include your reply AND your: name, firm,
city location, specialization (tax strategy, hedging
concentrated equity positions, etc.), favorite quote you live
by, head shot (if you choose) (OR you can choose to be anonymous
in the post).

We look forward to hearing from you on this (BTW, no answer is a
bad answer).

34) Summary: Careers Now column ?s: gig job challenge; working abroad

Name: Kathleen Furore Tribune Publishing Company

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b7hh@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Tribune Publishing Company

Deadline: 4:00 PM EST - 1 September

Query:

I have two questions for upcoming Careers Now column:

1. Gig work--which has been on the upswing for several
years--has become an even bigger part of the employment picture
due to the pandemic. While there are many benefits, newcomers to
the freelance world often face challenges they've never
confrontede. One came to light recently, when an acquaintance
told me about a gig job she was working on. Her client had
suggested several changes to the project--but she didn't think
the requested changes represented what the end client (her
client's client) wanted. She was stumped about what to do. She
didn't want to turn in something that didn't represent her best
work, and in her mind didn't serve the best interest of the
either client. But she needed the work and hoped to continue
with gig projects for the company. Suggestions?

2. A recent report from PwC revealed that 71% of millennials
want to work abroad at some point in their careers. It probably
shouldn't have--but it surprised me that that number was so high
... and it made me wonder what things not only millennials but
anyone who is considering working abroad should consider before
they make that move.

42) Summary: Clienteling and Secret Sales

Name: Mark Ellwood Business Insider

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b7js@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Business Insider

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

Clienteling is a secretive tactic in luxury retail: big spending
customers at most major luxury brands will be treated as VIPs,
of course, with their own dedicated salesperson; what many folks
don't realize is that those same customers also get access to
sales before the signs go up in the store. They'll be contacted
a week or more before price breaking and offered the chance to
shop, incognito at a discount, while everyone else pays full
price. There are lots of clever mechanics used for it - at one
shoe store, a staffer told me, there was a color coded system of
dots on the soles, which indicated to those in-the-know whether
something was on sale, while other shoppers milled around them
unawares. It's always happened, but its more common now than
ever and will likely accelerate given the backlog of inventory
created by the pandemic lockdown/economic slowdown. This piece
will look at clienteling, secret sales and how it operates as a
"shadow (shopping) economy" right in front of our eyes. We want
to explore this strategy, and explain why it works for
retailers; I'd also love to find out if there are any companies
or consultants who specialize in helping brands finesse their
clienteling strategies. We also want to understand what
clienteling/secret sales will look like as lockdowns ease and
hear from an expert or two on why clienteling/secret sales are
important in general and/or in a post lockdown world.

I'd like to hear from retail experts (professors, authors,
consultants) who can unpack this idea, and address some of the
questions above, as well as from luxury brands who can share how
and why this approach works for them.

Requirements:

Please send me a single para pitch, and mark the subject line:
CLIENTELING Please reply directly to this email, rather than
emailing me via other methods. No attachments, please - all
emails with attachments will be deleted unopened.

43) Summary: ESLs & Dynamic Retail Pricing

Name: Mark Ellwood Business Insider

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-b7jt@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Business Insider

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

ESL or electronic shelf labeling is primed to transform the way
we shop IRL - it will bring dynamic, rideshare-style pricing to
any store, from a supermarket to a home improvement warehouse.

These remote-controlled labels allow stores to change the cost
of anything at the push of a button, whether that's a weekly
sale, a price adjustment as raw costs rise, or simply surge
pricing at certain times. There are cost advantages to ESLs,
since supermarkets and other brick and mortar sightsno longer
need to pay for paper shelf-talkers. But there's a bigger goal,
too: nudging consumers into comfort with that surge, or dynamic,
pricing. If those numbers displayed can change on a whim, you
could make milk or wine pricier just after work, or sandwiches
cheaper at 3pm. Indeed, some companies have already trialed such
approaches - see one airport retailer, where prices on alcohol
were adjusted per the nationality of those who had just landed -
Germans would pay more for beer, for instance, while Japanese
people would pay more for whisky. Another idea: social shopping,
where people could check in on a certain ESL tag, and encourage
friends to do so, too - if enough folks checked in together,
they would unlock a discount for the entire group. I'd like to
hear from companies that specialize in ESLs, who can explain how
and why their system is the best, as well as from a client or
two on the retail side who can share stories of why it works.
I'd love to also hear from an expert on why we might see more of
this in the future and how it could be a benefit to retailers.

Requirements:

73) Summary: In Search Of Timeshare Owners Scammed By a Timeshare 'Exit or Relief' Company

Name: RICHARD PARKER The Atlantic

Category: General

Email: query-b5eh@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Atlantic

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 1 September

Query:

Am prospecting about how certain predatory marketers have tried
to take advantage of consumer panic during the COVID pandemic.
One angle I'm considering is timeshare ownership. There has been
a lot of advertising -- radio and online -- from these firms
soliciting customers using aggressive and frightening language.

In recent months, the number of complaints against timeshare
exit or relief companies by timeshare owners has increased.
These so-called exit firms solicit timeshare owners with
guarantees to help rid them of their timeshare within a certain
time period. After paying hefty upfront fees, the exit company
disappears and the owners are left with their timeshare and
further in debt. Some states are taking legal action against
the firms for misrepresenting or falsely advertising their
services.

I'm looking for timeshare owners who have been victims of these
scams by timeshare relief or exit companies If you know any
timeshare owner willing to share your story, contact xxx xxxx.

Requirements:

Must be a timeshare owner who paid a timeshare exit/relief
company for services that were promised but never delivered.

Category: Lifestyle and Fitness

Email: query-b66m@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Anonymous

Deadline: 10:00 AM EST - 1 September

Query:

If you once imagined your backyard shed transformed into a
casual gathering spot for friends, or a bespoke lounge that
complemented your pool space, 2020 may be the year that you
utilize that secondary space a little differently. With remote
work at its peak, homeowners are making all kinds of new
concessions, beefing up their Internet, purchasing new office
furniture, and changing their home layout to suit their new
at-home lifestyle. But not all homes can slip into home office
mode with ease. For homes too small for a simple renovation, a
backyard remedy may be in order. I am looking to write about the
most ornate backyard sheds currently being built (or already
erected), for the function of extra space and home office, in
the era of remote work life.

Requirements:

I am interested in speaking to builders who have recently
constructed luxury backyard secondary structures that are
functioning as home offices, as well as homeowners who have
erected luxury secondary structures in their yards that are
functioning as home offices. These should be beyond the "basic"
shed. Homeowners must be willing to go on the record for the
cost of erecting the structure. Can be located anywhere in the
world.

Deadline: 11:00 AM EST - 2 September

Query:

Senator Ron Wyden plans to introduce a bill, called The Fourth
Amendment is Not for Sale, which would would ban law enforcement
agencies from buying information from data brokers to circumvent
normal warrant processes.

"I think we've really reached the point where you have so much
data floating around that governments can essentially buy their
way around the Fourth Amendment," Wyden told The Verge.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/4/21354244/ron-wyden-fcc-nomination-section-230-trump-order-vergecast-interview

Given that the bill isn't introduced yet, I had a couple of
questions:

-- Is this a good idea? Will this protect privacy?

-- Could this hamper law enforcement? How often are law
enforcement agencies now buying private data from data brokers?

-- This seems unlikely to pass this year. Do you see this as a
big issue that will be addressed in 2021 or later?

163) Summary: Travel career breaks and sabbaticals

Name: Alex Trembath Career Gappers

Category: Travel

Email: query-b6m8@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Career Gappers

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 31 August

Query:

We are continuing our series of interviews with people who have
taken a career break or sabbatical to travel, and have an
inspiring story to tell about it.

Perhaps your time out travel inspired a new career direction, or
helped you to develop new skills which have been useful in your
profession.

We are also interested to feature stories of travel career
breaks or sabbaticals that have been interrupted by Covid-19,
and how you have adapted and used the time effectively.

Requirements:

You must have taken a travel career break or sabbatical at some
point in your life/career, it doesn't necessarily need to be
recent. We would prefer to avoid stories where travel has led to
you becoming a travel blogger or digital nomad as we have quite
a few of these already.

164) Summary: What To Do About Parking Tickets On Vacation

Name: Chris Elliott The Washington Post

Category: Travel

Email: query-b7fw@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: The Washington Post

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

I'm researching a story about people who got a parking ticket on
vacation this summer. Some municipalities have turned to parking
tickets to make up for revenue shortfalls. I'm interested in
hearing from anyone who received a parking ticket this summer,
perhaps while on vacation. What happened? Did you decide to pay
the fine or fight it? Do you think local governments are leaning
on visitors (and parking tickets) to make up for lost revenues?
From experts on parking fines and tickets, I would love to know
what travelers need to know about tickets. Are out-of-town
travelers more likely to be a target? How do they protect
themselves (other than parking legally, of course)?

Requirements:

Please read this before answering. I'd be very grateful if you
could send an initial response to my questions by email. Please
do not respond with a note that says you would like to be
considered for this story or want to set up a phone interview
with a source. I'm happy to consider you for this story. I've
included all of my questions in this query. Please take a minute
to briefly answer them. Kindly do not cut-and-paste answers from
previously published materials, such as press releases or blog
posts. If a phone interview is necessary, I will follow up right
away. Be sure to include your full name and a jargon-free, brief
(two to three word) description of your company or affiliation
as you would like it to appear in the article. I will do my
absolute best to acknowledge that I received your pitch and will
make every effort to let you know when the story appears. More
information on my queries can be found on my site:

165) Summary: Why nearcations are the next vacation trend

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b7fx@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

I'm working on a story about traveling close to home during the
upcoming holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's). I'd
love to hear from anyone who has booked a hotel or rental very
close to home. Where did you go and why did you decide to stay
in your neighborhood? What were the benefits and drawbacks? From
travel experts, I'd love to know why these types of
"nearcations" or "staycations" are so popular and how long this
trend will last.

166) Summary: How "Instant Claims" Work In Travel Insurance

Name: Chris Elliott Forbes

Category: Travel

Email: query-b7fy@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: Forbes

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 2 September

Query:

I'm researching a story about "instant" claims on travel
insurance. Travel insurance companies have been trying to
process claims faster and faster. I'd like to hear from anyone
who has had a claim processed very quickly. What kind of claim
was it? Were you surprised by the processing time? Was it enough
to make you buy insurance from the same company again? From
travel insurance experts and insurance companies, I'd like to
know what's happening behind the scenes. Do "instant" claims
give insurance companies a competitive edge? How do you define
"fast" in travel insurance? Which travel insurance company
processes its claims the fastest?
