And why is it important not to put your marketing eggs all in the same basket?

Jackie shares what she has learned with her fellow entrepreneurs and marketers in a variety of formats, from keynote speeches to tactical breakout presentations.

Highlights: 05:21 – I think that I had to get even more honest with my employees during Covid and I was kind of forced to. We lost 40% of our business in the 1st two weeks of Covid. 08:56 – We are doing this as fairly as possible so there were some people that had more work and some people that had less work and we're all going to take this hit together. 16:14 – I definitely think that being transparent shows people that you do respect and value them. And most companies don't care. 22:10 – I think we assign positive intent to ourselves and to our own actions and we give ourselves passes for the way that we communicate and the way that we behave because we have good intentions but then we do not do the same thing for other people. 35:14 – I think it's important to show up the same way everywhere and be the same person everywhere.

[03:51] - What led to the drive of being an entrepreneur? Have you always been interested? [05:37] - Tell me a little bit about how that process worked for you when you realize that maybe it was okay, if you weren't going to turn out what your parents or friends expected and how you went about that. [07:01] - What are some of the key lessons that you've learned along the way?  [08:46] - How was the process to learn what type of leader you wanted it to be? And when did you start articulating like, “okay, this is my leadership style”. [10:50] - As you are building your company and your own team, what are some of the key lessons that you bring in, as you bring people to work under you to make sure that you're setting the right culture that you want for your company? [12:38] - What is true and authentic to you? How do you define authenticity? And then, how do you define it for yourself? [13:41] - You mentioned that there were situations that maybe have taught you a little bit of a lesson or like, where you are not confident?

So I don't want you to give away the whole thing, but can you talk a little bit about that? [27:42] - if somebody was either building an internal team or a new internal venture inside a company or starting their own company right now, what would be the like, two or three most important things that you think they should be thinking about? [28:39] - Anything else people should be thinking about? [29:05] - Let's move a little bit to the personal side. What is a passion that is not directly work related, that is important to you? And how was it informed, your work? [30:32] - We all live in an era with big business cliched, jargon expression, which is one that drives you crazy, once makes you want to rip your head out.

Today, we're discussing a true survival story: my entrepreneurial journey. I recently realized that I have never really told MY story on this podcast, so I will tell you a short(ish) version of the journey. Buckle up! First, we are going to talk a little bit about my personal experiences while I built my first business, a cookie company. Then I'll talk about how I started and grew Accelity—the good, the bad, the very ugly, and all the lessons I've learned from bootstrapping my agency to 7-figures in a global pandemic My biggest lesson is that you have to trust the process. Consistency and persistence are two of the greatest strengths of an entrepreneur. Don't give up, and thanks for tuning in! Episode Highlights: 01:14 When I was growing up, stability was emphasized by my dad. He did not go to college, and he thought that going to college and getting a good job was the right path for me.  03:18 I really didn't realize when we started how hard it would be to make a profit.  05:23 I didn't know when I started my agency that the up and down roller coaster would last for five years.  08:17 I still ask myself all the time, am I in this? Is this something that I want to keep doing? Of course, my answer is always a resounding yes, but sometimes it takes me a little bit to get there.  08:41 There's no perfect formula to growing a company. It's hard, but it's a different kind of hard.  More about the show: ​​http://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast (www.jackiehermes.com/podcast) Hit me up! https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/linkedin (LinkedIn) https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/instagram (Instagram) https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/tiktok (TikTok) https://the-art-of-entrepreneurship.captivate.fm/website (Website)

Welcome to another Monday episode of Big Questions, Short Answers! IMO, the goals you set should make you uncomfortable, and maybe even scare you. So today, we're discussing how I found out that mine weren't big enough, and how to examine yours. Listen in as I share how I went from thinking small and setting goals just within an arm's reach to really pushing myself, and the early seeds that planted a lot of growth—not just for me, but for my company, Accelity.  Finally, at the end of the episode, we are going to discuss auditing who is in your circle and why that matters in relation to setting huge goals. Growth can be uncomfortable, but the results are also so incredibly rewarding. If you want more tips on how to grow via setting goals, this episode is for you!  Episode Highlights: 00:50 Your goals should make you uncomfortable, and they should scare you.  2:45 It's been easy to lose sight of those big goals while we're surviving these past couple of years, but my mind is opening up to new things.  4:02 I think a lot of people take pleasure in other people's misery. Comparing yourself to make sure you're doing better doesn't make you any better.  4:22 The people that I spend time with now are big thinkers, and they're action takers.  4:48 They challenge me, they don't put up with my crap, and they make me think larger.  Contact:  Jackie Hermes https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejackiehermes/ (LinkedIn) https://www.instagram.com/thejackiehermes/ (Instagram) https://www.tiktok.com/@jackie.hermes?

In this episode, Bruce sits down with the BOSS. Not a lady boss. Just an actual boss. I am of course talking about JACKIE HERMES. She is the Founder and CEO @ Accelity. She is the definition of "Bootstrapper" (listen to the MIDDLE about what she really means when it makes PERSONAL sacrifice for her business) I am really unsure of how a human being can have so much time to be everything she is. A growth advisor. A keynote speaker in the local area of WI. More importantly, I discovered her for her unreal advice on growing your company and frankly, your mind as an entrepreneur. Jackie is one of the most knowledgable LinkedIn microinfluencers out there for not just marketing, but how to build your personal brand. She is part of the reason why I decided to occasionally post videos of myself babbling on LinkedIn. Follow her... IG: @thejackiehermes W: jackiehermes.com OR accelitymarketing.com

After successfully building this business from the ground-up and selling to over 10 grocery chains, she sold the business to establish Accelity. Ryan Calton, on the other hand, is an Executive Finance and Strategic Advisor who is the CEO of a growth-oriented fractional CFO consultancy - RC MKE LLC, a company he founded for the simple reason that he wishes to shift the trend for most CFOs where instead of focusing on cost-saving strategies, he wishes to impart the focus on building sustained growth and increasing shareholder value. With this, he works with small to mid-sized companies that wish to increase their revenue, profitability, and enterprise value.Prior to founding his own consultancy, Ryan was the Vice President of Finance and Operations at The Brewer Company, a medical device innovations company.

Everyone wants to grow and scale, but not everyone is necessarily ready or prepared to do so. Growth tends to happen before you realize it, and before you've had a chance to put real processes or structure in place. It requires vision, direction, and buy-in. The collateral damage? Losing team members along the way. Jackie Hermes has grown the SaaS growth marketing agency Accelity from her taking clients as a solo consultant, to having a freelance team, all the way to a full-time team of nearly 20. She's definitely experienced the 'growth just happened' ride and has the scars to prove it, but she also used those scrapes and bruises to get ahead of their next phase of growth. She steps to the mic this week to share what she's learned, what she wishes she would have done differently, and what she's doing next.Find Jackie online:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/thejackiehermesTwitter: www.twitter.com/thejackiehermes Instagram: www.instagram.com/thejackiehermesFind Accelity online:www.linkedin.com/company/accelitymarketingwww.twitter.com/accelitymktgwww.facebook.com/accelitymarketing www.instagram.com/accelitymktg Plus: Hear the elevator pitch of Startup Hypeman portfolio client Swish House, using the Que PASA Elevator Pitch(TM) Formula!

Nearing the two month mark since COVID-19 first transformed our world in the U.S., we check in with Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld with the Medical College of Wisconsin and six other Milwaukee area leaders to hear how they continue to adapt to COVID-19. CEO of Kessler's Diamonds, Joe Gehrke, discusses how Kessler's is transitioning to online sales.

Founder and CEO of Accelity, Jackie Hermes, joins Coruzant Technologies for the Digital Executive podcast. She talks about how her first business of selling cookies turned her into a full-time entrepreneur and growing her new and fast-growing Marketing Firm.

Jackie Hermes is Owner and CEO at Accelity Marketing, A Hubspot Gold partner that provides B2B inbound marketing and lead generation, conversion, and nurturing. Accelity works primarily with B-to-B software companies operating at a pre-revenue, fundraising, or bootstrapping level on up to around $80 million in revenue. Accelity guarantees results: warm leads every month, and coordinates. product launches for unknown companies, helping them to bring new products to the market. The company focuses on building long-term, “deep” client relationships with fewer clients . . . Jackie observes that internal marketing initiatives often don't fail so much at promotion as they do in the ancillary functions: testing, measuring, and reporting successes. At the same time, conflicting objectives, failure to identify and appeal to the correct target market, and a lack of understanding of and clarity about the desired result all play a part in marketing initiative failure. Jackie feels it is important to meet a client's leadership team and stakeholders to learn their industry and their pain points and who they're targeting. Have they identified the correct target market? Are they approaching that target market correctly? Who are their decision-makers? Have they done all of this work? Does her team believe the information is accurate and complete? What is the potential for long-term success? As a project is conceptually developed, Jackie believes it is critical that stakeholders reach consensus on who they're targeting, what comprises the project deliverables, and what success looks like. An agency can only be effective when this foundation is set – when it truly understands the client's business – and when the client stakeholders are aligned in their expectations. Within Accelity, Jackie tracks each employee's profitability every month to monitor agency health and track the impact of internal projects on productivity. Many agencies use unpaid interns as profit centers. Jackie doesn't do this because she wants to ensure her clients get top quality services and interns can't provide the full-time, long-term relationships (typically 3 years) Jackie thinks are best for her clients. Jackie sees many companies making the old-school mistake of tasking cold-callers to generate business, and shorting the budget on the marketing side . . . because they don't understand that marketing can function as a powerful lead generator. For companies using cold-calling, she highly recommends HubSpot ‘s Sales Boot Camps (These programs are only available to HubSpot partners) as a way to dramatically improve cold-calling results. She took the program early in her career and spoke about it a Hubspot's Inbound last year. Jackie is available on LinkedIn at /thejackiehermes and is @thejackiehermes on every platform (Instagram, Twitter). Accelity is on all of those platforms as well.
