Although you might have the best of intentions, some of the things you’re doing on messenger may be diminishing your credibility and causing you to lose, instead of attracting potential clients to your business.
If you’re doing any of the following things, it’s time to stop…immediately:
Suddenly you’re in a panic. Your cash flow is at an all-time low, and it’s been ages since anyone inquired about working with you.
You’ve been so busy with your head down working in your business that you’ve forgotten to work on your marketing. There are a bunch of reasons why you’re not attracting new business. Let me tell you what they are and one simple secret that can help you to never be in this situation again.
The goal of social media is to accelerate your visibility so that more people know, like, and trust your business, your brand, and you as a person. The problem today is too many marketers are doing the exact opposite. You are diluting your visibility instead of amplifying it.
Recently a consultant who I advise asked me if she should start a Podcast. My response (which is the usual response to everything) was…
It’s not what the opportunity can do for you, it’s what you do with the opportunity.
I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw it. This woman I know had put together a stunning graphic to celebrate an opportunity that had been presented to her. She branded the graphic in stellar fashion. Along with the beautiful visual celebration, she had a press release touting her accomplishments and the opportunity.
When you say you’ll do something, do you do it? Are you open and honest when you communicate what you’re offering? Your word in business is crucial.
TRUST in a business relationship is also crazy important. When you say you’ll do something (or even imply you’ll do something) it’s your reputation that’s on the line and you need to follow through.
Every once in a while you may unexpectedly meet someone who is filled to the brim with knowledge and information. Who knew that simply striking up a casual conversation with a stranger next to you could be so valuable!
That happened to me recently, I was struggling to get my over-packed suitcase into the overhead storage on a plane when I met the founder of an angel investing network. Angel investors are people who invest money in businesses to help them get started. Think Dragons Den or Shark Tank without all the hype.
Facebook groups have gained tremendous popularity over the last few years. There are groups for just about every topic you can think of and there are a ton of groups designed to help and support entrepreneurs.
The world of social media can be awfully loud and it’s impossible to be on every social channel, reaching everyone, all at once.
As busy business people, we turn to automation and outsourcing for help. Automation and outsourcing have become powerful things. They allow you to push out content more consistently, and at a higher volume without YOU needing to be on your computer all day, every day. But sometimes, this can go very very wrong.
