298 You Have To Take Care of Yourself In Order To Be Your Best   Everything we do, whether it be work, caring for our families, or even going for a morning walk, all starts with ourselves and in today's work culture of burning the candle at both ends, it can be easy to forget that we need to take breaks and prioritize our well being in order to do our best in everything we do. Hopefully by doing so we can model a behavior that others can follow and make a change for the better. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Mandy Hoskinson discuss the importance of self care in today's day and how others will follow by example, especially when it comes to creating a healthy and thriving environment.   Highlights You have to learn about others and actively listen to them to learn about them and shift your perspective into belonging.  Surrounding yourself with the things you want to incorporate into your life. Choosing your battles and taking the breaks that will help you do what you do better. Everything you do starts with you, so take care of yourself. Take a break.   Quotes “Competition makes life expensive, it makes social interactions kind of strange, and I was reflecting on how I could incorporate slowness in my life and I think that comes from being in places where people are more sane and more kind because they have chosen a life where they're not overwhelmed all the time.” “You can still choose that busy life anywhere and you can still choose a peaceful life anywhere, but if your environment encourages it and your community encourages it that can really help.” “You find your people anywhere if you look for them and stay open.”   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, When you think about the work you do whether you work as an internal innovator, or as an entrepreneur, maybe you have a side hustle, what will you do with the information you just heard? Will you learn to take those breaks, will you choose to be that person that models the behavior that you want to see in the people around you, will you bring your best self by choosing to be that model and live the way that you know is going to benefit you and everyone around you. And, as always, thank you for listening.    About Mandy Mandy Hoskinson is a marketing agency founder, community leader, and creative person. Her award-winning agency, Zolay (@zolaystudio) works with clients spanning B2B, B2C, SAAS, government and creative industries.

In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Job Interview Storytelling Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

But, it's by no means impossible. Not if you have the right strategies and tools. This is precisely where this week's podcast comes in. Tim explores how you can promote your B2C business in 2024 and beyond.  You're sure to learn something new.   Watch this as a video instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3ptxn2rI_M 10 Best B2C Marketing Strategies: https://exposureninja.com/blog/best-b2c-marketing-strategies/ Get a FREE review of your website @ https://exposureninja.com/rpod/review/ Get the show notes @ https://exposureninja.com/podcast/294/ Download our eBook @ https://exposureninja.com/your-google-book/ You May Also Enjoy… The Best Lead Generation Strategies for 2024: https://exposureninja.com/podcast/extra-028/ How to Plan Your Marketing Budget: https://exposureninja.com/podcast/292/ These Mistakes KILL Conversion Rates: https://exposureninja.com/podcast/290/  

When designing, building, redesigning and growing a business, people often ignore the basics of market positioning by not understand who they are actually serving. Today's episode focuses on: Why is your client avatar a tripping stone or stepping stone? What is a client avatar? A client avatar is a ficticious character representing our ideal client. By profiling this person's life and business habbits, we get a better understanding of what drives this person to say yes or no to our offer. This avatar profile is not only helpful for face to face sales situations but also for online marketing and funnels. We use a client avatar for B2C and B2B situations. In a B2B avatar we need to understand the mindset of the buyer. This mindset is affected by the local attitude towards new sellers and new products. Some regions are very welcoming while others immediately think you are a risk to their own career, if they buy from you. In contrast to a B2C buyer, a B2B client might be making a 6 figure buying decision which might be questioned by the head of finance or the CEO. A B2C client might only have to justify their purchase with their spouse or someone they are borrowing the remaining amount needed to pay for the product. Hence, people have different voices in their head that are interfering with your communication. Take the time to silence these voices, so that you not only get them to buy but also avoid buyer's remorse.

Our awesome client Hillary-Marie recently made $16,000 worth of sales with an email marketing campaign she implemented from being part of our membership The League. And you know what's even better? She copied and pasted that campaign, ran it again for a different segment of her list, and made another $16,000!Want to find out Hillary-Marie's success story?SOME EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: (0:18) Join our FREE Facebook Group.

Hillary-Marie has a membership that gives people access to all her courses and classes and also runs a certificate 10-week programme for teachers once a year. What Hillary-Marie sells is a super affordable B2C proposition. It can be a hobby for some people, but for the teachers who are enrolling in the certificate programme, their participation often comes from a desire to serve the needs of their students while enjoying their own tap dance journey along the way.Hillary's students are anywhere from absolute beginners to advanced and are often people who don't have access to a local tap class at their speed or level. So Hillary-Marie tapped (see what we did there?) into the opportunity to segment her two audiences (adult students and teachers) and serve them both simultaneously with the same exact offer.When did email marketing become part of Hillary-Marie's business?Hillary-Marie started her membership in 2016, and email marketing was always a part of her journey. From the start, she used email marketing to ask people to buy from her, so she started collecting email addresses straight away. But at that time, she was only reaching out to her audience when she had something free to offer or a product she wanted people to buy. Looking back, Hillary-Marie can see that only getting in touch when she had something to sell wasn't the best approach.About a year ago Hillary-Marie came to a crossroads in her business. As an artist and a dancer, she had always relied on social media quite heavily. But she came to the realisation that she'd either have to 'sell her soul' to social media (and spend all her time on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) to churn out as much organic content as possible, or she could invest her time, energy, and money into email marketing instead. And not sell her soul!Thankfully, email marketing is the route that Hillary-Marie decided to take. And she's glad she did because email has given her an opportunity to share stories in a way that feels honest and genuine, rather than just playing the game of the...

It's nice to get paid, but what happens behind the scenes for each payroll cycle is actually very complex. There's a plethora of different tax calculations, remittance, filling, plus the movement of money between companies and employees. Yet, it would probably make sense for lots of companies to offer payroll as an add on service to their existing business. That's where Check comes in. Check is a payroll-as-a-service API that allows companies like Homebase, Bambee, & 7Shifts, an easy way to integrate a payroll product which creates new sources of revenue and the ability to better service the needs of their customers. The company is backed by Stripe, Index Ventures, Bedrock, and Thrive Capital. In this episode of our podcast, we cover: * The difference between building and scaling a B2B versus a B2C business. * Andrew's background story, the difficulty of getting Duke / UNC basketball tickets, and starting his career at Google. * The inspiration behind Oyster, which was like a Netflix for books and how they scaled the company to an exit to Google. * All the details about Check and why this market was so interesting for building another company. * Advice for founders on building a platform of platforms company. * And so much more.

On this episode of the Woman Power Zone Podcast Ariel is joined by Darren Jamieson to talk about the power of digital marketing, he has lots of great information, ideas and tools that may surprise you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Digital marketing is the essence of getting leads and sales into your business via the internet. It's selling to people, or gaining trust with people that you haven't necessarily met yet they still trust you and want to buy from you because they've seen you on the internet somewhere and thought you're good, you can do what I need, I want to get in touch with you. With the advent of AI and the dreaded ChatGTP you're going to get a lot of soulless crap out there using all the buzzwords, hooks and structures that you get for content on LinkedIn. Things like: “I've been thinking lately…” then something outlandish, or “something you don't know about me…” It's all structured, it's all templated. The way to do it properly is to get yourself out there, your own personality and character, AI cannot imitate people even though it tries, it cannot be you. It's about attracting your band, your batch, your people, your clan. The sort of people that are going to be with you, the best people to work with , the people you're going to love working with and are going to love working with you. Don't try to appeal to everybody because it's not going to work, you're just going to end up with people that, quite frankly, are idiots that you're not going to want to deal with  and are going to be more hassle than it's worth. So, put your own personality and opinions no matter how objectionable and ridiculous they may be to some, to others they're going to hit the nail right on the head and they're the people you're going to want to work with anyway. If your business is B2B LinkedIn is your best starting point and you should be using it not as an online CV, which most people use it for, they see it as an online recruitment platform. Don't list all the jobs you've done and the education you've had because, while that's important, it's not what's going to set you aside from your competitors in the business world. Use it to talk about the wins and successes you've had, the skills you've got, what you've done in business, and always focus on your client – talk about who you've helped and how, don't talk about yourself. If you're B2C a Googe profile is the quickest, easiest and fastest thing to do, and I'm stunned at the number of businesses that don't have one or have one unclaimed or poorly put together. BEST MOMENTS“Some people say you shouldn't have too much personality in your [LinkedIn] posts because “it's not Facebook” and that it should be all business and corporate-y, but they can quite frankly do one. If people don't like you on LinkedIn that's cool, that just means you've pre-qualified them as not your ideal client.”“If you're not annoying people you're not doing enough.”“Twitter or X recently updated the app so that when you log in you no longer see people you follow but people that will be most interesting to you, and they deliberately put in people you disagree with.”“Nobody wins with happiness on social media, it's all about the angst and the disagreement. It does make it a bit of a cess pool, it's not good for your mental health to be on Twitter.” ABOUT THE GUEST TEDx speaker (his talk is "Why is Everything in the World So Strange"), stand-up comedy award winner and co-founder of digital marketing agency Engage Web – Darren Jamieson – has been in the field of online marketing since the last century.

Industrial Talk is onsite at IoT Solutions World Congress and talking to Larry Pang, Head of Business Development at IoTex.io about "Demystifying Blockchain for Trusted IoT."  Here are some of the key takeaways from our conversation: Introduction. 0:04 Scott has all the contact information for Larry Pang, IoTex on industrial talk, and encourages listeners to reach out to him for more information. Larry is the company demystifying blockchain. Barcelona Blockchain Conference. 3:34 Barcelona is an amazing city with two conferences going on side-by-side. One of several large conference venues in the city, and the other is custom-built. The iot solutions world congress is at the intersection of blockchain and the internet of things, and people are more interested in blockchain these days. Larry gives his background and what he is doing for blockchain. He was in consulting for five years at Oliver Wyman, a strategy consulting firm. Larry shares his background in the tech industry. The psychology of making large changes to tech stacks, and how blockchain fits into all of this. How blockchain is a way to facilitate trust between people that don't necessarily trust each other today. It's a way for parties to work with each other and give a use case. How to build trust in the supply chain. 10:12 In supply chain, there is always someone at fault for something that goes wrong. People retroactively seek the truth, and blockchain is a very proactive technology. Blockchain is a point solution to areas that lack trust. It can be really enabling factor for removing some of the legal aspects of litigation. Why trust is the biggest challenge of our generation, and how blockchain is a solution that creates trust. Why blockchain is already a good use case for many of the enterprise use cases, and what the next step is on top of it. The concept of a smart contract. 14:57 The concept of a smart contract is a taboo term these days. It's not just smart, but it's also open source. The data that is put on a blockchain needs to also be verifiable, or else everything downstream the business logic lives at work. If the temperature dips below zero degrees or goes above zero degrees, issue a 10% penalty to the person who was in possession of it at the time. Today, blockchain has the opportunity to add incentives. B2B and B2C relationships, and business-consumer relationships. For example, corporations and the way that people sleep, how they sleep, and how they do healthy activities. Tamper proof, hardware and software comes into play to issue incentives to issue rewards. Blockchain is going to continue to be here. 21:31 How to get a hold of IoTex, check it out at iotex.io.

“This is just the beginning.” “I believe that the magic is in being human to human, says Kartik Khambhati, Co-Founder & Chief Business Development Officer of HoduSoft. Kartik thinks that the silo like definitions of B2B and B2C are perhaps too confining and possibly distort the purpose of delivering products or service. Kartik vision and values are routed in human-to-human contact and in the ways technology and organizations, together, can make humans better off. In this most interesting podcast, as a new member of the Cloud Communications Alliance, Kartik talks about stakeholders, and the stakeholders have to do with meeting the needs people have. UNICEF is a client of HoduSoft. However, Kartik describes how the stakeholders include the parents and children UNICEF helps. Helping UNICEF with its ambitious vaccination program, makes everyone up the chain from client to MSP to carrier, all better off. The “magic” occurs by making people better off, improving lives, and in this way building a, from the ground up impact. “The consumer is an individual,” adding that his approach is being proactive. Kartik discusses a heuristic view, where business success is based on first improving the well-being of people, as technology serves as a bridge to bring people together. “The biggest stakeholder in any business is a person, the human being… The biggest asset in any business is a human being.” Kartik walks us through his major product groups: HoduCC (Call Center Software), HoduPBX (IP PBX Software), and HoduBlast (Voice and SMS Broadcasting Software). Their PBX is now STIR/SHAKEN complaint. We learn about a refreshed approach across these product areas. “The magic is not in the technology. The magic is always in the people.” Visit https://hodusoft.com/

For the last few years, you have relied heavily on SEO strategies to attract customers to your business. Of course, there's nothing wrong with this. But as your business grows, you may want to hire a seller to attract more leads and improve sales. But how do you know you have found the right person to improve your sales strategies? In this unique episode of the Sales Evangelist Podcast, host Donald Kelly does a live coaching session with Cat Hutchings to help her find the perfect seller for her new business. Whether you're a business owner, sales professional, or simply interested in improving your sales approach, this episode offers actionable tips and advice. Cat Hutchings Background Cat Hutchings is a successful entrepreneur and Etsy owner of Spotlight Jewelry. She also coaches other Etsy owners to become successful on the e-commerce website. Cat is in the works of launching another business, so she came to Donald asking questions on how to find the ideal salesperson to join her team.  Live Coaching Session: Hiring the Right Salespeople Many business owners ask themselves whether they should hire an individual or an agency when trying to get leads. Donald suggests using tools such as Apollo IO to attract leads. These tools allow you to view names, email addresses, and other contact information. If you decide to hire an individual, ensure they know how to handle the entire sales process and not just the end. Effective Outreach Strategies As a salesperson, you must research to target the right customers. Cat shares an example of a sales representative who researched her before reaching out. However, the sales representative did make a minor mistake, and Donald shared feedback on what he could've done better. Deep research and tools like CrunchBase can help identify relevant individuals. One can craft personalized and impactful outreach messages that resonate with potential customers by leveraging visible triggers or signals. B2B vs. B2C Companies and Marketing Collaboration Donald highlights the importance of collaboration between marketing and sales in B2B sales. While marketing lays the groundwork by running ads, email campaigns, blogs, and LinkedIn ads to attract the right audience, sales professionals take over to engage in one-on-one conversations and drive potential customers toward making a purchase. B2C sales typically have shorter cycles, often requiring a more transactional approach. However, certain products and services can be sold remotely and automatically through websites, reducing the need for active outbound efforts.  Donald also shares the difference between working with a startup and a well-established company.  Startups can attract individuals hungry for new challenges, those looking to add startup experience to their resumes, and professionals seeking to make a noticeable impact within smaller organizations.  While there is an inherent level of risk, social proof and a proven track record can significantly attract the right individuals.  Are Sales and Marketing the Same? You may think that marketing and sales are the same thing, but it's not.  Marketing is attracting leads to your business and getting them to the checkout point. Sales is the process of payment transactions within the business.   Importance of Systems and Processes Donald emphasizes creating reliable systems and processes, particularly in sales.  Documenting procedures and creating playbooks can make transferring roles within a team easier and more efficient.  Strong systems and processes are vital in facilitating business growth and scalability. Host Donald Kelly shares insightful strategies for hiring the right people for your sales teams. He also advises attracting ideal customers, navigating B2B and B2C sales, and optimizing outreach efforts. Whether you're a business owner, sales professional, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge to help you succeed in the competitive sales world. "Finding the right people shouldn't be a challenge as individuals are willing to take the leap and join a startup." - Donald Kelly.
