In part two of this episode, we talked with Bob Stolzberg of VoiceXP about how Alexa Skills can both provide a service for your company as well as being a service to the community as a whole. It’s another place to make a name or a “voice” for yourself.  

Some great examples that Bob elaborated on was how cities and municipalities can use it for emergency management and response systems, how the government will be using it to get out election related information to the public.  Politicians can relate direct from source information to their constituents. Even real estate agents and podcasters like myself can use these skills to push audience growth and to strengthen their network and pipeline.

Bob also believes that the voice industry presents the biggest opportunities for women, minorities, and veterans.  As Bob says, “Voice is a great way to get into a technical career without any prior experience”. VoiceXP isn’t just saying that, they’re taking action and supporting women to succeed.  They go as far as partnering with the Girl Scouts, teaching them how to build a skill. Details and more on special offers for this within the episode.

As an added bonus, VoiceXP will give a free premium license for personal use to all Women In Voice members.  So women, sign up with Women In Voice, sign up with VoiceXP, and empower your projects today.
