The special episode of The Dish on Health IT episode provides insights and coverage from the recent HIMSS24 conference. Hosts Pooja Babbrah, the PBM and Pharmacy Lead and Jocelyn Keegan, Payer/Practice Lead with Point-of-Care Partners dig into their observation from HIMSS24 before reacting to stakeholder interviews from the floor of the Interoperability Showcase on topics ranging from the impact of the final CMS interoperability & prior authorization, benefits of API adoption and pharmacy interoperability opens with a montage of HIMSS24 attendees. --NOTE: The sound quality of the kiosk interviews is not ideal. If you prefer, you can watch this episode on video for close captioning of the kiosk interviews--The episode opens with a montage of HIMSS24 attendees sharing what they find valuable about attending HIMSS. Pooja Babbrah then opens the episode explaining that she and co-host Jocelyn Keegan share their key takeaways and insights from the biggest health technology conference in the industry. Jocelyn started the conversation off by sharing her observation that the work over the last 15 years to forge scalable connections to improve data fluidity has been fruitful and reached a tipping point. Importantly, the conversations we heard at HIMSS24 showed an acknowledgment as important as data fluidity is the content of what we are exchanging, and that data quality is just as important. Jocelyn then shared her second observation which is that we need to build a skillset and pool of resources who can do the next phase of work that is needed. She shared that when she worked in the financial industry which was at the time transitioning to interoperability and automation, they had to hire and develop the critical thinkers needed to think through how to best leverage technology, approach change management and do the abstractions needed to be successful. Health IT is at a similar place; we probably need more clinical informaticists because how we use technology in clinical workflows is extremely important, but we also need operational experts to help pull through how shifts in one workflow should get pulled through in others. She went on to say that we need people understand data mapping and why clean data is so important. Pooja thanked Jocelyn for her insights before sharing her own. She mentioned that she heard talk about whether ViVE and HIMSS could both survive because they occur so close together, and are big investments for companies to make to attend or exhibit. She shared that her view is that they are different enough in programmatic and attendance mix that she believes they both have value and will survive. Adding to Jocelyn's point about data quality, Pooja added that data governance and sending the right data to the right people at the right time versus just sending a data tsunami. Pooja continued by adding that it's also important to meet people where they are. This was clear at the post-acute care listening session. Some care facilities are not yet FHIR-enabled, some can send data via FHIR but perhaps are not yet API-enabled, how can we meet those facilities where they are even if they aren't using cutting-edge technology? Most stakeholders are going to be somewhere on a spectrum of tech adoption. We need to be flexible in how we do things. Pooja went on to say that another observation is that the importance of consent management will continue to grow, and that real work is starting to be done to figure out what patient-centered consent management might look like. We need to be able to exchange the right data at the right time with the right people, but we need to ensure we have the right consent to go along with it. Pooja mentioned some industry initiatives on consent including the HL7 FHIR at Scale Taskforce Accelerator, which has launched a new consent project. Public meetings for the FAST Consent project have launched and will be held regularly. A consent learning lab was held at HIMSS24 for the second year in a row. Pooja expressed that she attended both last year's and this year's events and she could feel a shift including the presence of regulators who were in the room. She explained that the conversation focused on actual work and progress being made in California and Florida as well as a huge focus on the role of consent in connecting health data and human services data.Next Pooja and Jocelyn listened and reacted to stakeholders who stopped by the POCP Kiosk in the Interoperability showcase to give their perspectives on the final CMS prior authorization & interoperability rule, API adoption, and pharmacy interoperability. Interviewees at the kiosk included:Colin Banas, Chief Medical Officer for DrFirst, shared insights on medication management and prior authorization.Polina Vaserman, Vice President of product Management with MHK, discussed the complexities and proposed improvements in prior authorization final rule.Lathe Bigler, Vice President of Clinical Network Services at First Databank provided perspectives on leveraging FHIR APIs for improving price transparency and patient care.Lenel James, Business Lead - Health Information Exchange & Innovation, Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, highlighted the use of FHIR APIs to enhance data accessibility for all stakeholders, including patients, payers, and providers, underscoring the importance of making healthcare data available across the care continuum to improve service delivery and care coordination.Melanie Marcus, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer at Surescripts highlighted the role of pharmacies in expanding care access and the necessity for interoperability and policy support.Kathryn Ayers Wickenhauser, Sr. Director of Community Strategy at DirectTrust discusses the critical role of pharmacists in delivering care and the role of Direct Messaging can play in supporting this work. Themes from the interviews and host response include: CMS Interoperability and Prior Authorization: There has been broad acknowledgment of the positive progress this final rule will make towards enhancing interoperability and refining the prior authorization processes is widespread, with some hoping for additional policies to go even further.Healthcare Ecosystem and CMS Policies: The industry acknowledges the complexities of medications requiring prior authorization. There's an expectation for CMS to broaden its research and policy scope to include specialty medications, recognizing their critical importance.Impact of Technology and Innovation: The importance of adopting standards like FHIR for improving healthcare interoperability is emphasized. Leveraging technology and standard adherence is highlighted as crucial for enabling effective communication among healthcare stakeholders, reducing administrative burdens, and improving patient care quality.Pharmacy's Essential Role: Pharmacies are spotlighted as key to healthcare delivery, especially in underserved areas. There's strong advocacy for improved pharmacy interoperability and integration into the care team, stressing the need for policies, payment reforms, and access to health information to support their expanded role.Using Existing Technologies: The discussions promote the practical use of existing technologies and workflows to address healthcare delivery challenges effectively. This pragmatic approach centers on solving immediate patient care and business problems with available tools and sharing successful industry practices to foster broader adoption.Future Directions and Collective Engagement: A desire for ongoing engagement with health IT innovations, with a focus on interoperability, is clear in future industry events. The importance of collaborative efforts within the community and across the industry is underscored as critical for driving advancements in health IT and interoperability.After Pooja and Jocelyn listened and reacted to the interviews, Pooja shifted to close out the episode. She took a moment to reflect on the rich dialogue and insights shared by professionals across the healthcare ecosystem. She acknowledged the collective and collaborative effort that is fundamental to advancing health IT, underscoring the critical role of technology, the growing importance of pharmacies in the healthcare delivery ecosystem, and the collective anticipation for the evolution of policies concerning specialty medications and the work toward a better way to manage consent. With a nod to the resilience and spirit of innovation that defines the HIMSS conference, Pooja expressed gratitude for the contributions of all speakers and participants, celebrating another successful year of sharing, learning, and collaborating. Looking ahead with optimism, she voiced enthusiasm for the next HIMSS, where the community will reconvene to delve deeper into healthcare's pressing issues, explore new advancements, and foster further collaborations that promise to shape the future of health IT.

Lead generation is the name of the game. Who better to talk to then the expert himself? We are gonna be diving into lead generation and what you should be doing.ResourceJay's WebsiteReal Estate Marketing DudeThe Listing Advocate (Earn more listings!)REMD on YouTubeREMD on InstagramLadies and gentlemen, welcome to the episode of the Real Estate Marketing Dude podcast. Folks, we're going to chat about today. We're going to wrap up the year strong and talking about, guess what? More marketing, but more importantly, how you convert that marketing. So many people, especially in our space, throw a lot of money at stuff that make the ego feel good but don't necessarily get the results at the end of the day.00:03:05:02 - 00:03:20:19UnknownAnd yet, as you guys, you know what I'm talking about. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Biggest complaint I see is, social media doesn't work or these ads don't work or this hasn't worked Well, most times it's human error. It's not that it doesn't works. They work for somebody, but they're not working for you. So that's not a bad thing.00:03:20:19 - 00:03:38:05UnknownJust means you need to learn how to do it right, Need to know how to do it more. Quit being so damn creepy online and all that fun stuff. So that's we're going to be chatting about today is lead generation. So we brought on the expert himself. They call him Lead Gen J, and he's going to talk to us about best practices, specifically to your space.00:03:38:05 - 00:03:56:20UnknownSo go how to take notes, pay attention and we'll get right into it. J What's up, man? How are you doing? In wants to run a little bit about who you are, what you do doing well. Appreciate you having me. Jay Feldman, also known as Lead Gen Jay on YouTube. So actually run a very successful PR agency full time.00:03:56:20 - 00:04:19:03UnknownWe have 72 employees across two different offices, so I know all about what you're talking about with the fluff that that feels good but doesn't necessarily generate it leads the personal branding, the social media stuff that everybody thinks they need to do in order to get clients. But my superpower as a as a founder and as a CMO is really generating leads for my agency.00:04:19:05 - 00:04:41:06UnknownAnd now I teach lead generation to thousands and thousands of people in my private courses, communities and my YouTube channel. So hopefully we can give back to some of the realtors, lenders that are watching the show and maybe teach them a different approach for generating leads that they may not have heard of before. I'm very familiar with with the work I've worked with a lot of realtors before.00:04:41:08 - 00:04:59:23UnknownAnd yeah, you know, social media is not the magic bullet. This might be for them. So I'm looking forward to getting them back this way. Well, let's get into it. Like, let's just start from the basics. Let's make this very elementary and I will get into the nitty gritty towards the end here. But at least in real estate space, what's the biggest issue?00:05:00:00 - 00:05:23:20UnknownI have my own opinion, but I'd like to hear yours. Where do people go wrong first? Because that's usually where it starts. It's like at the beginning that they screw up and once you screw that up, you can really build it back up. Is that the target biggest? Is it the offer? What is it? Yeah, I think the biggest struggle that realtors deal with is kind of the same struggle that insurance salespeople deal with is that there's not a lot of differentiation in what they're offering.00:05:23:22 - 00:05:42:24UnknownSo people tend to go with the ones that they know, like antitrust first. So that's one big challenge that they have to get through. And that's where the personal branding and the social media really comes into play and the networking. So I do think is hugely important for realtors to do those things. I'm not discounting any of those things.00:05:43:01 - 00:06:03:15UnknownSo I think that's the biggest struggle. But the second struggle is awareness reaching out to people who might be selling homes, letting them know that you exist. And if they're not selling a home right now, it might be in the future and they might not have a realtor that they know like and trust. So that's really where lead generation and outbound lead generation, which is what I do, comes into play.00:06:03:15 - 00:06:21:24UnknownThe awareness aspect. I go back to the differentiation and you're right, and we say this on we might say this every week, if not every other week, but I always ask people, I see a lot of branding and yeah, you know, figure out some would be like, Hey, Mike, who am I? You know, I've got to figure out how they market themselves, not what the what's easy.00:06:21:24 - 00:06:37:00UnknownIt's the how that people got to figure out what's actually going to get impacted where people can remember. And no one can ever answer that question because I'll be like, ask, what is the one thing you do differently and what the the wrong answer is. I want to look out for the best interest of my clients. What you should look out for the best interests of your client.00:06:37:00 - 00:06:51:12UnknownIf you're a good person, that's not a value proposition. And why do people struggle with that so much? Because, like, if you're a writer, you're just a commodity, especially in the real estate space. This is the same in the law space. You guys. I'm doing a ton of content in the law space right now, so exact same thing.00:06:51:12 - 00:07:12:04UnknownThe attorneys don't know the difference between themselves and somebody else. So what? How do you help people do that? Because I agree with you. I think if you're not different, you've got to stick out. Everyone's the same. Everyone in their mother's a realtor. You trip over one, go to the mall. So how does someone get past that? Because I think that's the key personally.00:07:12:06 - 00:07:39:22UnknownMe too. And that's a really hard challenge to do because something that one person can use to stick out really can't be replicated over and over again. So people struggle to figure out what it is that's going to separate them from somebody else. I mean, you look at some of these giant shows, you know, selling Sunset, like what separates them, yet they get the social media presence If you list with them they've they it's automatic clout and their chances of signed at home are higher because they come with all of that that clout in social media pool.00:07:39:24 - 00:08:03:15UnknownAnd I think that's why a lot of realtors do gravitate toward the know like and trust method because they don't there's nothing different about them. What's different about them is that the person that's hiring them knows likes and trust them. So you asked me some ways that realtors can stand out. I think social media is a good way to do that, especially if the homes that they're selling are people that care about that.00:08:03:17 - 00:08:22:23UnknownFor example, we'll do a we'll do some videos, some collaborations on the sale of the home, maybe feature you on the social media platform. But you probably know that that question a lot better than I do. You know, what are some of the different things that realtors can do to stand out and differentiate their offer? What are some of the things that you teach in order to differentiate?00:08:22:23 - 00:08:42:04UnknownBecause it's like you said, I take care of my client is not a good differentiated differentiation point that gets overlooked. Just like everything else that everybody says. I like differentiating through brand. Unless you have a unique selling proposition and 90% don't, if you have a unique selling proposition, it's going to be different levels of service that you can stand out with.00:08:42:04 - 00:08:59:22UnknownSo we used to have a program called The Owner Advocate where we gave people up to five options to sell their house. We gave them a cash offer, a fixed and list program, a bridge loan option sell instead, which is basically just a leaseback and then the traditional listing. So what made us different and that was our service and our process.00:08:59:24 - 00:09:19:17UnknownSo there's other offices that do that. What makes someone different in real estate in general could be a flat fee office, a flat fee service as opposed to a five or 6% commission. It could be the fixed interest list program, for example. That's a very sexy offer, but most people don't do that. The only other way to differentiate is through brand.00:09:19:19 - 00:09:34:18UnknownSo if you can differentiate through brand, it'd be like, let's just say I love when people give back. I used to do a lot of those. I had one guy in particular comes on top of my mind that used to sponsor and rescue a dog with every house he sold. So he never sold houses? Yeah, he never sold houses.00:09:34:18 - 00:10:04:07UnknownHe saved dogs. The house was just the result of him saving a dog's life. And that's easy to market because people care more about animals than they care about fucking human beings nowadays, right? So it's like. But that's that makes them different, right? So some other things that I can think of that law firms did this actually you mentioned in law firms, if you operate with that law firm, they get special membership access to some of the things in that city that the law firm does parties that are private club.00:10:04:09 - 00:10:23:10UnknownSo that's and that's cool and yeah maybe the realtors can do real estate agents can do and really it comes down to creativity. I don't have a straight answer. We have a law firm right now and it's great. That's what makes them different are divorce family law. And their tagline is, Have you ever argued with a woman? And they're an all women run law firm.00:10:23:12 - 00:11:04:02UnknownIt's fantastic. They all do divorce. That's good marketing. Great marketing, like, you know. So, yeah, you either do it through the USP that you offer. So you're doing things different than 99% as either cheaper or more creatively, or it's your personality, your personal brand, 100% agree with you. And if you have a unique USP, then the cold outreach and the awareness part gets much easier because people will remember you and they'll be much more likely to convert on that outreach as opposed to just a Joe Schmo realtor reaching out to somebody via a cold email or a DM saying, Hey, I'm a local realtor.00:11:04:02 - 00:11:22:05UnknownYou know, if you're selling your house or you know anybody, let me know. Your chances are going to be slim to none. And getting a response to that. So yes, brand works and then your unique USP. Absolutely. How about the awareness side of it? You guys actually go out and like, find these people right? Or walk me through.00:11:22:07 - 00:11:37:02UnknownSo if you have your if you have what you got to do, this is like step one. Would you agree? Like got to figure out what you do differently, what your USP, what do you what's your offer essentially. And then I want you to stand out in a crowded marketplace. Perfect. Everybody should think about that. You can try and win on price.00:11:37:02 - 00:11:53:13UnknownYou can try and win on luxury and brand, but figure out what you're going to win on and then compete there. Now, let's just say I have that figured out. What am I going to do next? So now I need to let people know what you do and how you do it. And that's the awareness portion. So this is where a lot of people struggle.00:11:53:17 - 00:12:16:19UnknownI mean, it's kind of the both of them are very hard, you know, What do you do? What separates you? And then how do you actually get people into your pipeline? So there's a lot of different ways to do lead generation, to do outreach. A lot of people gravitate to social media because it's free. Creating content and getting people in organically is obviously a great way to establish rapport and get free leads, but that's hard to do.00:12:16:19 - 00:12:35:12UnknownA lot of people struggle with generating a following on social media, and it's a little bit unpredictable. There's hand-to-hand combat where you're going through your Instagram, DMS and messaging people over and over again. But what I do is I scale that up, so I figure out ways to do that at scale. So you're not sitting there DMing people over and over again.00:12:35:14 - 00:13:04:00UnknownWe set up systems so that you can reach out to people hundreds or thousands per day that either are a good candidate right now or possibly will be in the future. And how are you? Is that through socials, out through all of social media? We reach out to people, through social media and email. So some of the best social media platforms that we use that allow you to send good automated messages to targeted users that are going to be interested is Twitter and LinkedIn.00:13:04:02 - 00:13:27:06UnknownAnd there's a few tools that you can use within those platform, such as Drippy for Twitter or Meet Alfred for LinkedIn, where you can find people, you know, in specific communities, people who have homeowner in their bio or have already been tagged homeowner by some other platform. So social media, you can automate those messaging, you can get 100 messages out per day spreading that awareness.00:13:27:06 - 00:13:44:08UnknownObviously, this works much better if you've got an established brand and you've got a unique USP. Again, if you're Joe Schmo and you've got a bad profile picture and you're reaching out with a generic offer, it does not work. It's almost a set up. That's why you got to have that upfront because that's just what you do with it.00:13:44:10 - 00:14:03:11UnknownI've never had anyone ever in the last nine years since I had a show mentioned Twitter before. I'm sure you get that a lot right. So let's get a lot of people are doing let's let's get into well, now X so let's get into that like talk to me about that because I always see I always seen on Twitter like the number one response you see is, it's the worst ad platform out.00:14:03:11 - 00:14:26:16UnknownEverybody. I've never converted leads off of there and that's typically b c but you're you're it's kind of like you're messaging people through Twitter. You're not going after like, tell me I'm curious. So you mentioned Twitter's the worst ad platform. I'll say right now, that's where our our best our allies are. So where we're spending money on Twitter ads right now, I think since all of the big brands pulled their ad budgets from Twitter, it's just become dirt cheap to get.00:14:26:16 - 00:14:46:10UnknownThat is interesting. So like with what's go and if you guys haven't been following the news like get out of the whole year and first it's been pretty obvious that the major brands if it is new to you like the major brands for whatever political reasons are fighting about today or pulling out because they're fighting and they're being you know, they're just being big babies about shit, bottom line.00:14:46:12 - 00:15:04:20UnknownSo they're pretty much they're pulling they're pulling their money out. And then you're saying because that space is open, because there's only so much real estate in ad space, you guys, there's a scroll, okay? And what you're really buying is you're buying no differently. Like, people don't know this, but if like, if I'm buying a billboard on a highway, there's only one billboard.00:15:04:20 - 00:15:19:17UnknownThat's why it's so damn expensive, right? Then they can't. Then they created the video billboard so they could put 40 images on there and interchange them. So it became a lot more affordable. But in social, like if there's a lot of people trying to reach the same people, then it's harder and it's more expensive. Get your message seen.00:15:19:19 - 00:15:41:05UnknownAnd a lot of those big dollar peoples what he's saying right? The big dollar companies have pulled back apples the Disney's Yeah and there's a lot of free space there that you'll get more exposure for that is so interesting I've never even thought about that. Yeah in fact in the last week Neil Patel released a video. He says his agency right now is focused entirely on Twitter ads.00:15:41:07 - 00:16:00:20UnknownWe're getting clicks on Twitter for like $0.12 for PR agency ads. So if you're not advertising on Twitter and you're listening to this and you're running an agency and you're running social ads, get out there and spend some money, I guarantee you make an ROI even if you don't know what you're doing. It's just so cheap to to get views and clicks on Twitter right now.00:16:00:22 - 00:16:16:11UnknownBut that is separate from what I was talking about with with doing the outreach. We're about to go in a big rabbit hole right there. I might talk to you about that. Yeah, a little little sidetracked, but definitely a good one. I think that's for anyone to have you back to talk to it. Yeah, that's. That's dope. I'm going to check it out.00:16:16:13 - 00:16:37:22UnknownAll right, Carefully check it out. So Twitter, Twitter, messaging, essentially with tools like Drip, you're able to filter hundreds of thousands of Twitter users out through multiple different filter categories. Like what words they have in their bio, who they're following their location, and then you're able to send them Twitter messages. You need to be verified on Twitter for this, which now is like 12 bucks a month.00:16:37:24 - 00:17:01:19UnknownAnd you can send them hundreds of Twitter messages per day, get straight into their Twitter inbox in initiating that conversation. Hey, Mike, do you happen to own a home in Tampa? No. Cool. It conversation's over. The one out of five that you message that say, yeah, you know, I do. Now you have a conversation. Now you have a lead in your pipeline that's either going to be selling or buying now or might be in the future.00:17:01:21 - 00:17:23:07UnknownSo different ways to connect with people at scale. And Twitter is a good and under-utilized way to do it for people who are listening to this. And I'm like, This sounds like, you know, LinkedIn. I get a ton of spam messages on LinkedIn every day. A lot of actually my next question. Yeah, a lot of people are doing this on LinkedIn, not so much on Twitter when you get I was going to say is on Twitter, it's a little bit more it's probably wide open.00:17:23:07 - 00:17:42:20UnknownThe mailbox is on Twitter and I'm thinking about probably wide open because like people don't typically, I'm guessing, engage on Twitter through like messenger, like they do on Facebook or Instagram or LinkedIn. When you're spammed like every other hour feels like right, wide open and under-utilized. Not a lot of people are doing this right now, so which means an open opportunity.00:17:42:22 - 00:17:59:08UnknownSo like, does this look at the theory here though? Like what we're talking about is we're trying to go where no one else is, you guys. And that's like the fundamental rule of any marketing, like we're talking about sticking out. We can only stick out. Just like in your brand and your USP, you could stick out to where you show up to someone else.00:17:59:08 - 00:18:21:08UnknownIf you go where nobody else's advertising gets much cheaper. If you try and advertise on Google ads for people buying or selling at home and your location, you're going to be competing against everybody else who has a typically a much larger budget than you probably do as an individual realtor or lender. So going where the unknown is going, where people aren't spending a lot of effort is going to save you a lot of money.00:18:21:10 - 00:18:37:01UnknownNow, just a side note, I want your personal opinion on this. Do you think Twitter can on a social aspect, because it feels like a more of a news site, do you think it can compete like on a social aspect, like with Facebook and IG? And to that extent, in my opinion, I don't know if it ever has.00:18:37:01 - 00:19:00:12UnknownI've never been a big Twitter consumer. I've never been in a Twitter scroller. And it seems like the people who are, you know, political journalists, reporters, yeah, it feels more newsy. It feels more newsy and it feels like a social platform for news people and for politics, not for the general consumer. But I do know a lot of entrepreneurs who are pretty big on Twitter and swear by it.00:19:00:12 - 00:19:30:00UnknownAnd I don't know if you're familiar with Alex Ramsey. Yes. He's got a massive Twitter following. Black are called email wizard, massive Twitter following does something similar to what I do. So the opportunity is there. Obviously, people are spending time there, but I'll be honest, it's not my platform. Interesting. Okay. So talk to me about these messages sort of reaching people and with the services that like, is it a bot, Is it and how many people can you reach out and then do you have numbers?00:19:30:02 - 00:20:00:03UnknownYeah, Twitter, you can head about 2 to 300 per day based on how established your Twitter account is and how many people are in your pool. Yes, it is a bot. Obviously, you write the messages that are going to be sent and a lot of these tools now do incorporate as well. So for each of these messages you can run a chat bot prompt based on what's going on in their bio and generate, generate, generate a personalized word or phrase that will make it a little bit more personal to them.00:20:00:05 - 00:20:15:04UnknownAnd what are people often like to think of a real estate? They're just you're starting a conversation. Hey, do you own a house? Like, what's the it's really I mean, you're throwing astonished at the wall, so I'm going to stick like I'm a big fan of cold calling. You know, I hate it. It works. It works. It works.00:20:15:04 - 00:20:34:22UnknownAll right. You know, And if you try enough, here's a someone. I bought this new platform I'm running my ads with. It's called EBU. Guy named Vince Reid has it and he has he he said something in his training that really stuck. And I think this will help you guys. He goes, If you want to sell more shit, you need to make more offers.00:20:34:24 - 00:20:55:22UnknownYeah, I'm going to. I'm like, Dude, I know sometimes one will stick. If something's working a little bit, do more. You're typically going to get more even with the it, right? Yeah. Even with the worst offer, someone will bite. And then ideally over time, you optimize your offer, you optimize your targeting, you go from a 1% reply to a 3% reply and you fine tune.00:20:55:24 - 00:21:24:15UnknownBut you mentioned what do you say in that message for this for the real what's for example, assuming that you're targeting a reasonable audience, meaning you have the location down there? Homeowner You've been able to do that with the filtering technology. I would leave the open ended. Hey, nice to meet you. I'm whatever we've got at this in common, I do wanna do on a homeowner in Tampa Bay leave it open ended yes or no or if they say yes and they've got an opening to go have a conversation with the lead.00:21:24:15 - 00:21:42:18UnknownWho's talking to you? And you can build that relationship for now or for later. There's also some other strategies giving them lead magnets. For example, if you're a lender and you can give them some kind of like lending calculator or something that they might opt in for and find useful. That's something that I use a lot in my business.00:21:42:18 - 00:22:00:15UnknownI can't think of any good lead magnets for realtors off the top of my head right now, but I'm sure they exist. Could probably be like a new construction homes list is usually what people do off market lists. Off the market? Yes. People will say, well, it's not on the MLS because you couldn't find anything on Zillow nowadays.00:22:00:15 - 00:22:15:07UnknownSo you got to have something that's not like online. But usually that's what I see, something along those two lines. I would click on that too. Someone sent me an off market list for Saint Pete, even though I'm not now buying or selling a home right now. I mean, I just want to see what it is, right? Yeah, absolutely.00:22:15:09 - 00:22:35:13UnknownVerdad. You know, I think the biggest problem too, and this is for me too. I hate selling dude like and I think most people, I feel like they feel that as well. Like I don't want to be on a soapbox like cold calling or reaching people or messaging people. However, I could pick up the conversation once they do right, and if someone raises their hand, I'm more of like a permission based person.00:22:35:13 - 00:22:52:08UnknownI've always been like, I can't infiltrate. I was terrible. Cold calling was terrible at like just selling than general, more salesperson and a lot of people in real estate struggle with that. But this is like a way that you could automate that and, and, and get rid of that terrible part of the coldness sounds like it's exactly what that is.00:22:52:08 - 00:23:10:01UnknownWe had a cold calling team and God bless their hearts, they're spending all day, hundreds of calls and a couple of them are interested in everybody else's pissed off. They have to deal with all of the pissed off ones and they're spending time on the ones that are pissed off. This is the way to not do that. Automating the outreach really is like what you said.00:23:10:01 - 00:23:28:13UnknownIt's waiting for somebody to raise their hand and say, I'm interested. The ones that don't raise their hand, you don't even know it exist. They typically don't even make it through the pipeline to you. So it's a really good strategy for people like you've mentioned who don't love selling and doing all of that outreach manually, 99% of them.00:23:28:15 - 00:23:46:11UnknownHow do you target people, though, on this platform? Got so Twitter, you're a little bit more limited. So you we've got words that are in there, but we've got who they're following, who's following them, and we've got interested. There's a subscriber vibe too, So there's a couple of different ways that you can target on Twitter. LinkedIn is much more open.00:23:46:12 - 00:24:04:24UnknownYou know exactly where they're living. You can target very specifically, you know, companies, job titles. So if you're looking for high net worth people in your city, LinkedIn is going to be an easy way to find those people. If you're doing cold email and you're using a B2B database, such as a Palo Alto, you can do the same thing as LinkedIn.00:24:04:24 - 00:24:25:13UnknownYou can hyper target by people in a specific location. They've got buying intent data. So people who are looking for homes and then there's scraping tools like IG leads, dot IO, where you can literally scrape homeowners in your location. So a lot of good resources out there to find the right people and it's never going to be 100% accurate.00:24:25:15 - 00:24:46:07UnknownYeah, but the goal is to get accurate enough to get people to start raising their hand up. I like it. What else you got? I get it. It's taken out. So that's a good a good sign. Something you haven't done here before. So the other thing is how do you get as many messages out as possible without burning out your list?00:24:46:09 - 00:25:14:01UnknownSo we mentioned Twitter as a as a resource. LinkedIn is another good one for automating LinkedIn as a tool that we like to use to automate. LinkedIn is called Meet Alfred. You're able to essentially get out hundreds of messages per day to people who are in your groups and your events. So as opposed to traditional methods, just connecting with 30 people per day, which is their limit, hoping that they accept it, sending them a message, these tools will actually go right into their inbox.00:25:14:03 - 00:25:33:11UnknownAnd LinkedIn is really cool because you've got all this targeting mechanisms and you've got a much more built out profile. So people can see your profile, picture your banner, your banner, exactly what you do, where do you live, and if they see someone connecting with them from their city on LinkedIn, good chance that they're going to connect and have a conversation with you.00:25:33:13 - 00:26:04:16UnknownUsually on like the personal stuff, like you're at the same college, you're the same exact industry, you're in the same fraternity, even like you could. You could probably target people that way if you want to go really deep. Obviously that would work at university. Yes, university like so yeah, might be way too small. Interesting. Cool. Now, when somebody reaches back though, don't say aren't they sort of like, hey, I'm this is like old and then you pick up the conversation like, do you?00:26:04:16 - 00:26:26:03UnknownI could see why you have the lead magnet because a lot of people like what I do next. hi. You want a house? Okay, so now what? Great. Right? If I'm lead magnet definitely makes a little bit easier. It makes it more enticing, but now it becomes a sales job, not a prospecting job. Yeah, it's building a relationship with that person, putting them in your pipeline for now or later.00:26:26:05 - 00:26:44:10UnknownBut once they've raised their hand and said, Yeah, I am exactly who you hoped I was, I have at home, this is where I live. I'm buying or selling. Now you can start to build that relationship enough to waste your time doing the outreach. Now you're closing. Yeah, maybe retargeting you could be following in other places. I like it.00:26:44:12 - 00:27:04:03UnknownWhat kind of costs is something like this running like because I'm thinking I used to have a team of cold callers. I know how much they costs. Like, what is this? Let's just say I'm like, All right, I'm sold. I want to do something like this. How much data do I need? And my dealing with like 10,000 records of people I got to find my.00:27:04:09 - 00:27:24:20UnknownAnd then how much, you know, like, how much does cost? Like, is there what's the budget like on this? Let's go over some of the pricing and expectations for each of these platforms. So they're each a little bit different breaking them down into Twitter, LinkedIn and email are kind of the main three that we like to do. Our average Twitter, we've got 15 bucks a month ish for Twitter verified.00:27:24:22 - 00:27:48:03UnknownWe've got the software cost, which is about $59 per month, and that's it for Twitter. Everything else is done within that tool. So if you're comparing that to anything else for generating leads, it's pretty absurdly affordable. Yeah. With LinkedIn, you've got Sales Navigator 99 a month and then you've got the tool, which is 89 a month. So less than 200 bucks a month.00:27:48:03 - 00:28:06:18UnknownAnd now you're doing hundreds of contacts automatically per day on LinkedIn. So if you're doing all the above, you're less than 400 bucks all in right now and then say you want it to do cold email outreach as well. This one is a little bit more complicated than, you know, setting up a tool and how can it to your account.00:28:06:20 - 00:28:27:19UnknownThat's what I teach pretty in-depth on on the ginger YouTube channel. But what you'd be looking at if you want to do the email stuff is you need data. So you can either purchase it from a B2B lead database such as Apollo Audio or Zoom info that can be expensive. You can scrape it using a tool like IG leads you.00:28:27:21 - 00:28:47:03UnknownYou can scrape it from LinkedIn using a tool like scrap. But you've got to got to get that list of emails who you want to contact. Then you need to set up cold email sending accounts, which can be a little bit technical for a lot of people. You don't want to send emails from your main email address. There's a risk that the people who are receiving them will market as spam.00:28:47:09 - 00:29:02:23UnknownAnd now, before you know it, all your general emails, the people who you know and do business with are going to spam. You do not want to do that. So always send from a secondary domain and a warmed sender account. We send those emails through a tool called instantly dating. I was going to I was going to ask you what you use for cold emails.00:29:02:23 - 00:29:20:13UnknownI just had someone asked me a question the other day. No, no, it this is really good for like this. Like this sounds like it'd be really good for distrust. You guys, like, you could buy data all day from, like, people that are high in debt. Like, this is what we used to do. Like and if you have that, you could buy the emails.00:29:20:13 - 00:29:40:18UnknownYou could, you could literally locate the people who have to sell their house in the next ten months just because there's no other financial option. But in addition, I think this is awesome for recruiting to be to be agent, agent, broker to agent. There's probably a big, big, big thing there. Probably we use this for a lot of things outside of lead generation as well.00:29:40:18 - 00:29:59:14UnknownOnce you understand the principles of cold outbound, you can start to pivot this, to use it for lots of different use cases. Recruiting is one that we use it for. Influencer partnerships is another one that we use it for. Business partnerships is another one that we use it for. So lenders looking for realtors, we are looking for lenders.00:29:59:16 - 00:30:32:06UnknownAll of those are relationships that can be built using these same principles and tactics. I see why you're creating leads, man. Smart, very smart. You remove cold call and you remove the friction and now you have a warm bond permission base. Follow up. Smart. Yeah. We had a cold calling team for a while. We had four people in house picking up the phone and compared to what we were able to do through automated cold outreach, it wasn't even close to what the cold callers.00:30:32:06 - 00:30:50:19UnknownYou guys too, is a revolving door. Like it's hard to retain a cold core. You might retain them for 90 days to maybe maybe six months, but then even then they're going to get burnt out. And then even when they don't, they start getting very expensive because the ones who are good know they're good and then they start asking for more money and then it starts not making sense anymore as a business owner too.00:30:50:19 - 00:31:11:02UnknownSo and rightfully so, they should get more money for that kind of phone. But very smart dude. I get it. It's very smart. I would talk to you when we think that's up for about a couple of things. Any other thing you want to add here? We talked about amounts of data. I think that was another question. How much did you have actually need A do you have an unlimited supply of data?00:31:11:02 - 00:31:36:20UnknownAnd if you live in a small town and you only serve the regions nearby to you and you can only find hundreds of people to do outreach to, this doesn't work for everybody, especially if you're restricted to localized small regions. But if you serve South Florida, you're never going to run out of data. There are tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands of people that you'll be able to find and reach out to at scale.00:31:36:20 - 00:31:57:18UnknownAnd that does not increase the cost. And there's always new people buying and selling houses. So as fast as you can reach out to them that is replenishing with data. So I would not let that be a concern. If you're operate in a populated area now, if you're a little bit more restricted and in a small town, this might not be a great outreach strategy for you.00:31:57:20 - 00:32:13:18UnknownThat makes sense. Yeah. I mean, there's only so much data to go around, but yeah, I see it as a it's definitely a once you have that niche and if you got data, I mean that's where it starts out. The key here is that the ability to get the data, get the records and you need emails. And what about cell phones?00:32:13:20 - 00:32:31:12UnknownJust emails. We've tried everything with the cell phones, voicemail drops, which is basically leaving them a ringing list voicemail. So they just get the voicemail on their phone and likely will call you back If you have somebody picking up the phone. Answering those actually works quite well as SMS messaging called does not work very well. People hate getting cold.00:32:31:14 - 00:32:50:21UnknownSMS messages. I hate them. I hate them too. Yeah. So no. And how is it that stop? If too many people reply stop now, your carriers will cut you off and you can't do it anymore. So SMS block messaging is essentially dead and then there's cold calling. I'm still waiting for an I cold calling machine to be good enough.00:32:50:23 - 00:33:14:02UnknownI keep getting propositioned by these companies to try their their new dialing bot their new to cold calling I they still suck. So yeah, you can use the numbers if you have a live cold calling team but we just mentioned how how difficult those challenges are plus this gets around all the TCP compliant shit like right. Is that a compliance issue for text messaging?00:33:14:06 - 00:33:32:01UnknownThere's a lot for real estate, you know, like there is a lot like just a do not call list and all of that stuff. And there's a lot of risk out there for people to pay. And I'm pretty sure that's who goes around that. Yeah, I don't think there's any there is regulation for called email. It's called the canned Spam Act.00:33:32:01 - 00:33:49:22UnknownSo there's certain things that you need to have in your code emails. You need to have an address and you have a way to unsubscribe quickly. It can't be a dopey bait and switch email. Yeah. So as long as you follow a few simple rules, you're safe, you're within legal bounds. And I do not think there's any legal limits about social media messaging.00:33:49:24 - 00:34:09:21UnknownThere might be limits and restrictions based on the individual social media account. So, for example, on Twitter, if Twitter catches you doing it, you might get a Twitter account suspended. But there's nothing legal that you'd be implicated in that I know of. And to this day, I've operated hundreds of these accounts and I still haven't had any issues.00:34:09:23 - 00:34:31:24UnknownVery cool, very cool way to how long you've been doing this. And what did you crack it? I've been in marketing for close to ten years and I've been doing a lot of automated messaging those entire ten years. And now I live and breathe this stuff. So always testing new tools. It's a blast for me, especially with a lot of cool stuff coming around the pipeline.00:34:32:01 - 00:34:49:24UnknownVery cool, man. Very cool. Why don't you tell listeners you're in the ship? Anything else you got? Any final tips you want to add once you tell them where they can learn more about you? I don't think we covered a lot of that. I hope it was helpful for you. Your hope was helpful for everybody. If you do want to learn more about me, the best place to learn more about this content is my YouTube channel.00:34:49:24 - 00:35:07:07UnknownGo to YouTube, type in lead Gen J.

And if you want to send me a message, go to CMO J. Feldman on Instagram. Send it over there. But this is a blast.00:35:07:07 - 00:35:26:15UnknownThey hope I provide a value for some people. Yes, sir.

So today we're talking about direct messaging.  The DMs.  And I know that half of you are super excited about this topic and the other half are maybe groaning and thinking “UGH…I don't wanna talk about this but I know it's important so I'm going to listen…”And I just want to tell anyone who is feeling a little meh about direct messaging that it's ok.  I get it.  I think that if we've been taught to do direct messaging in a gross + icky way…that it DOES feel like something we want to avoid.  So I am just going to say that if that's you…it's normal.  And it doesn't need to feel this way.  We need to flip the script here and make direct messaging a really fun + enjoyable business activity!  It shouldn't ever feel icky…and if it does then it's a huge red flag that you're doing it wrong.  So I really hope today's episode will change that experience for you!WE COVER THE 3 CORE REASONS PEOPLE DON'T BUY:They don't trust themselves.  They don't trust themselves to finish the program, execute the tasks within the program.  They don't trust themselves to experience success.They don't trust you.  Or maybe they just don't like you.  Something about you just doesn't resonate (and remember that this is okay…you aren't meant for everyone).They don't believe in your offer.  They don't believe it's actually going to achieve the results it says…they don't believe your method.RECAPE OF THE KEY POINTS FOR EFFECTIVE PSYCHOLOGY BASED DMs:The DMs are where you can have real conversations with real people…it's a place to embrace as a business.Your goal is to make people feel seen and heard.  You want to quickly identify which of the 3 core beliefs are holding them back from taking the next step.  Is it a lack of belief in themselves?  Is it a lack of belief or maybe familiarity and trust with you and your ability to help them transform?  Or is it a lack of belief in the program or methodology itself?Always use their name + show gratitude for their message + and don't get into a belief battle with them.  Mirror their language.  So you want to use their specific words and tie it to a question to learn more about them and their desired transformation.Positivity and confidence should permeate your message.  Remember…they are often looking for clues that joining you is a safe choice.  So let them borrow your confidence.And lastly, breadcrumb your messages appropriately.  So don't reply with one giant long paragraph.  Break it up into smaller back-and-forth messages when it makes sense.  Also break up your sentences into smaller paragraphs…it makes it so much easier for people to read and process. Sign up to receive my newsletter list HERE:  https://view.flodesk.com/pages/619e8a85117f2e0a9bdc5914Instagram:  @marionwagnercoaching   https://www.instagram.com/marionwagnercoaching/Facebook: @marionwagnercoaching https://www.facebook.com/MarionWagnerCoachingIf you enjoy this podcast, take a screenshot and head over to Instagram and share it on your IG Stories and tag me @marionwagnercoaching (so that I can DM you a message of appreciation!)Intro/Extro Music Credit and License DiamondTunes

Marketing experts tell you where to market to attract more clients. If you followed everybody's advice, you'd be running a media business and have no time to serve your clients.  So, do you really need a website, a YouTube channel, an email list, 5 social media accounts and a blog? The truth is: You can get clients with nothing but social media. But you shouldn't.  In this episode, you'll find out why relying on social media for client generation endangers your business - even when you're getting new clients every month.  Want to build a marketing strategy that attracts clients without bogging you down in content creation? Listen now! Show highlights include:  The obvious place where most potential clients look for financial advisors (they won't find you there if you're only on social media) (1:24) Why certifications, awards and specialties let you “own” your niche (even if you've got strong competition) (4:16) How your personal Facebook page can repel clients who were ready to hire you (6:39) The dead-simple “Direct Messaging” strategy that gets you more appointments on LinkedIn (13:05) Why using multiple marketing strategies multiplies your results (even if you've already mastered one channel) (15:02) If you're looking for a way to set more appointments with qualified prospects, sign up for James' brand new webinar about how financial advisors can get more clients with email marketing.  Go to https://TheAdvisorCoach.com/webinar to register today.  Go to the https://TheAdvisorCoach.com/Coaching and pick up your free 90 minute download called “5 Keys to Success for Financial Advisors” when you join The James Pollard Inner Circle.

Are you struggling with booking calls? Do you start conversations with leads that go absolutely nowhere? Are you getting ghosted? Do you feel like you aren't having enough interactions with your leads?  Then pull up a chair, grab a pad and paper, and get ready to take notes. Because today we're talking about “the DM Game!”  I'm going to teach you how to book more phone calls with prospects. This is a podcast I want you to save, study, and learn from.  When you've started a conversation with a potential client through Direct Messaging and it doesn't seem to go anywhere, it can be frustrating. But Direct Messaging is one of the most valuable tools you have for connecting with leads.  Here is #1 of my 3 best tips for the Direct Messaging Game. #1 – Always be opening. Here's the secret sauce:  don't be a stranger.  When you slide into someone's DMs without having established any kind of relationship or previous interactions with them, they'll ignore you. Think about how annoyed you get when some business coach or spammer invades your DMs with a long, boring pitch. You don't like it. So why would you do it to someone else? Especially someone you want to help? You want to engage with people who are already engaging with your content.  How do you get people to engage with your content? You create high value content. That means posting to Facebook and Instagram. Making videos on TikTok. Being active in your social media. When you create better content that serves more people, you'll get more leads. Every like, share, and comment equals a prospect who's DMs are now open to you. (Click here to listen to episode #446 and learn the other 2 tips!)   I've Been There. I've Done That.

When one thinks of social media marketing, they mostly think about content strategy: what to post, when to post it, how to post it, strategies to grow and engage your audience, etc. But something a lot of entrepreneurs don’t even think about is the power of one-on-one connection through social media. There is a lot of magic to be created in your inbox.In this episode, Shana Browne shares her genius around direct message (DM) strategy. You will learn the different ways you can grow your brand with DMs and how to build real relationships.But there’s a delicate art and science to it. It can very easily and quickly go south.

“You have to dig deep to accomplish anything worth bragging about.” Janelle Lara (6:54 - 6:59) Do you really want to up your game? In August, I launched a group program with the intention of going big. Guess what happened? I closed 15 clients with a total of $85,000 in sales. With the right preparation, investment, and execution, I made the largest amount of revenue I've ever made in one month. Now it's your turn. You can level the playing field using the lessons I learned from my latest and most successful launch.  “When you provide a valuable service and make strategic moves to get what you need, you can go far.” - Janelle Lara (10:13 - 10:24)Hitting a five or even six-figure mark isn't impossible. If I can do it, so can you.  Here are the tactics and tools that worked for me:   Goal Setting. Write out a good, better, and best goal. Your good goal is what will satisfy you. Your better goal is what will excite you. Your best goal is a home run. Check out Alex Beadon to learn more about this!   PR. Before my launch, I hired a copywriter (shout out to Sarah Temte) and got five affiliates on board. These promotional tools grew my audience to 2,000 viewers. Increase your brand visibility through PR. The more content you can create and push, the better.    Mindset Work. Hiring a mindset coach helps you dig deep, clear out subconscious blocks, and shift limiting beliefs. You can start small with journaling and praying.   Direct Messaging. Who is opening and reading your emails? Who is consistently showing up on your lives? Who likes your posts? Direct message anyone who seems like a good fit.   Self-Care. Launches are physically and emotionally draining. Don't wait until after it's all said and done to replenish and relax. Take care of yourself now.    As you push forward, keep the following in mind:     There is such a thing as good stress. When you push yourself towards a big goal, you start to realize what you're capable of. Let the stress of the challenge shape and mold you into a stronger businesswoman.       You aren't for everyone. There will be a lot of people who just don't want to work with you. That's okay. Rejection keeps you humble. So focus your attention on the people who do want to work with you instead.   “When you sit in the flow, do the prep work, leave the rest alone, and trust God, clients will come out of nowhere.” - Janelle Lara (49:01 - 49:16)The journey to becoming a high-caliber professional doesn't have to be hard or exhausting. However, nothing on this earth is given away for free. You have to earn it. Up your game through strategic decision-making and careful planning. Dig deep and do the prep work, then surrender to the will of God. Everything that you want already exists. You just have to go get after it.  How to get involved Follow @theparttimeceopodcast on Instagram for special, podcast related updates!

New Agent Builds Massive Business By Focusing On Her Niche  About the Episode On today's episode, I talk to REALTOR, marketing strategist, philanthropist and Gig Harbor's local connector and agent of choice, Paige Schulte. In just 2 years and 4 months, she went from new agent in a new area, to running a $3 million dollar business as a solo agent. She has developed really deep roots in the community, a very effective  social media marketing strategy and voice, and the ability to work in her “zone of happiness”.  Paige learned early on, by running her own company in California, the importance of creating a niche specifically tailored to her own personality. Seeing an opportunity for creating authentic and genuine marketing she set her focus on that. Paige employs the power of video because it lets you show up on a regular basis with the human touch. She uses Direct Messaging and Instagram stories which have resulted in her becoming a local celebrity. She shows up every day on Insta stories and people come to rely on it.  The biggest mistakes many agents make, especially when they are new to the game, is thinking that they should be everything to everyone, but the truth is, a brokerage for everybody is a brokerage for nobody. A scarcity mindset makes us feel like there isn't enough business to go around, but if we drill down on our ideal client and area, we can build a business that truly makes us happy. We will also be able to create the kind of content people will want to have coffee with us over, and become a resource for what they care about. According to Paige, “getting focused on who I was showing up to serve helped create really deep roots quikly rather than trying to be everything to everyone.”    The lesson we learn from Paige is that we don't just have the opportunity to build a business, we can design one to suit our lives and the things we care about. Paige's goal is to eventually be so niched down to a micro-market that she serves her neighbourhood. We don't have to serve huge cities and towns to make a good income and still balance that with everything else in our lives.  In Today's Episode, We Talk About;   01:44 - How she dealt with the uphill battle of being a new agent and working in a new city.  03:56 - The importance of focus and niching down.  07:05 - Video content and why it's still an open opportunity in our industry.  10:40 - How Paige's business is set up with freelance and one-time employees.  13:42 - Why she chose to go deep, not wide on her social media platforms.  17:06 - Why Paige doesn't go outside of her zone of happiness geographically.  23:27 - Referrals and why they are the best return on our time.  27:15 - Why Paige doesn't have social links on her website.  Guest Info   Paige is a REALTOR, marketing strategist, philanthropist and Gig Harbor's local connector.    Website https://paigeschulte.com/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/paigesgig Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paigesgig/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paige-schulte-2068b26/.

When you are married will you have a goal to commit adultery? Do you plan on getting addicted to porn? How about having an emotional affair, you're not going to go all of the way, you're just going to give your heart to somebody else? None of these are your goals!   Statistics say that well over half, closer to 75% of married couples will experience at least one or more of those things in their marriage.   Today we are going to learn how to defeat those odds.   Hebrews 13:4   Scripture says that purity matters to God & purity matters in your marriage.    Would you believe that 90% of Americans say adultery is wrong?? Only 90%?!   The University of California did a study & found that in just one decade between the years 1998 and 2008, the percentage of people committing adultery in our country had increased by over 50%.   Why is impurity increasing in marriages?   Because there are more temptations today   Facebook, instagram, snapchat... People meet old BF/GF on there & it just naturally starts something... Or they friend a girl and start Direct Messaging one another.  There are entire websites and apps devoted to helping people successfully cheat and have affairs discreetly. I cant even find an accurate weather app, but there are secret affair society apps to help you cheat!?    The biggest game changer in my opinion of temptation might be the smart phones and iPads and such. When I was a kid you had to sneak in and steal a magazine from one of your friends who had a dad who had a stash or go on the big family computer that sat out in the open and connected to that slow dial up... Now you have 24 hour access & can do it discreetly...   47% of American homes say that pornography is a problem in the home. Studies also show that pornography increases the chances of marital infidelity by 300%!   There's a growing sense of entitlement.   2 types of purity - inward and outward    1. Outward Purity: The Behavior   Ephesians 5:3   What is impurity? Basically, it's poison. We don't want any kind of poison in our marriage.    We are not just talking about having sex with someone that is not your spouse either...  looking a pornography... That’s a hint  Watching Magic Mike and lusting... That’s a hint  Dressing provocatively... That’s a hint  Watching inappropriate movies or reading inappropriate books... That’s a hint   Proverbs 5:8   Stay far away from the HINTS   1 Corinthians 6:18, 19-20   Flee! RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN! Because it will poison and destroy you...   I love the line where its says YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN... Have you ever heard someone say “Its my body and I will do whatever I want”  That is true when you are of this world, but when you are a follower of Jesus everything changes...   You were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.   You must create healthy boundaries in your marriage.   Fellas: Im never alone with another girl, I don’t counsel girls without my wife, If some girl texts or emails me about a personal issue my wife is ALWAYS brought into the conversation,   Emails, FB messages, phone calls, etc of the opposite sex are never secret   My wife has all my passwords.  She can get on my phone at anytime, Facebook, email, etc...   I have accountability partners that aren’t my wife...   LADIES: That all of these apply to you too.   YOU MUST CREATE HEALTHY BOUNDARIES....   Pastor Craig Groeschel says “why resist a temptation tomorrow that you can eliminate today”   Don’t set yourself up for failure. Prepare yourself for success!    The biggest thing with boundaries is this though…   You cant rely on rules to protect your marriage!    Outward purity is effected by…   2. Inward Purity: The Heart   We don’t have the strength alone to be outwardly pure... We need a deeper strength that only comes from God or we will be destined to fail...   Psalm 119:9-11   David is saying the closer you get to God, the more he changes your heart. The closer you get to God the more disgusted you are towards sins that used to be something that drew you in   Matthew 5:28   The heart MATTERS!!!    Purity is less about NOT doing something and way more about doing something.   Purity is about positioning your heart and spirit in a place where that isn’t even appealing to you because its not honoring to God and its not honoring to your spouse and therefore its not honoring to your heart.     Three common responses to impurity:   1. Defensiveness   2. Remorse   3. Repentance   Repent and Don’t Give Up the Fight   You cant fully restore your marriage unless you are restored through the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.    If you have a spouse that repents, think about the courage it took. And I pray that their confession would be met with forgiveness and not judgment.   If you have been in a struggling marriage let this verse give you hope.   Galations 6:9   And if you are a struggling individual in here…   2 Chronicles 7:14   Remember purity is about action – HUMBLE themselves and pray…SEEK my face and turn from their ways of sin….I will restore their land    

In episode 210 of the Get Published Podcast, Host and 13-Time Bestselling Author Paul G. Brodie interviews Patricia Bossano about her author journey and the power of direct messaging on social media.

Miss Bossy Boots has joined the big bad world of Insta! Finally.  We deliberately left it as our second choice of promotional social channel for a few reasons (of which we touch on briefly in this episode). There's no denying it - there is definitely pros and cons to social media both on a business and personal level. Socially, social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat sometimes get a bad wrap for the negativite behaviour of a selected few (bullying, trolling etc.) that it can help to amplify. That though, is a subject for another day. This episode we talk about the Pros that Instagram can foster. Jane gets down and dirty with some granular insight into how certain age groups are using the Instagram platform - which is really important to know as a parent of teens OR as a Business Owner - hello Direct Messaging! We talk about how we are using Instagram to promote our Miss Bossy Boots Podcast as well as how Jane's 11 year old daughter managed to build herself a thriving Instagram page connecting with well over 2,500 fellow LOL Doll followers. Organically!  If you would like to join our Instagram tribe you can find us at @missbossybootspodcast    

Today you’re going to learn how to use one of the fastest growing social platforms, Instagram Stories, to build your email list, without using the Swipe Up feature.   I don't know about you, but Instagram is by far my favorite social media platform. Mostly because I love Instagram Stories but also because I think the connections on Instagram feel more real than any other social platform. If you are on Instagram then you've probably either recorded an Instagram story yourself, viewed one--or several (they are completely addictive), or you've heard someone else talk about Instagram Stories and you weren't really sure what the heck they were talking about. Wherever you fall in this equation, there's one thing that is certain...you as a business owner, should be using Instagram Stories to create more solid, real connections that will, if you do it right, go far beyond just chatting on social media. I had the pleasure of interviewing Tyler J. McCall, an Instagram Marketing Strategist, who has found great success in growing his email list through Instagram Stories. He shared tons of valuable insight, tips and strategies that you will be able to implement starting today!  And, don’t worry, as I mentioned earlier this strategy has nothing to do with the Swipe Up feature, which requires you have 10,000 followers to use. So whether you’re familiar with Instagram Stories or not, we’ve got you covered here! Let’s first dive into the basics around Instagram Stories and then we’ll go ALL in on strategies to grow your email list via this platform!   WHAT IS AN INSTAGRAM STORY? An Instagram Story is content that is shared in Instagram itself, typically photos and videos, but you can also share text-based images. Your photos or graphics last six seconds while your videos can be up to 15 seconds long. You create the Story content using Instagram (the creation and editing tools are built right in), or you can create them externally and upload them to your Instagram account.   How Stories are different than a post in your regular Instagram feed is that the content goes away after 24 hours unless you add it as an Instagram Story highlight in your profile, which is a whole different episode! WHY YOU SHOULD BE USING INSTAGRAM STORIES IN YOUR BUSINESS: Instagram now has over 800 million users. Of those, 500 million are on the app every day. And of those 500 million, 300 million are on Instagram Stories every day. Need I say more?!? Tyler tells us that Instagram Stories are taking over as the content of choice, and Instagram likes this, because it gives them another place to run ads.  And as business owners, Instagram ads are a very powerful tool, as well. And let me tell you, Instagram Story ads are converting really well for my business right now! “There are now millions of people every single day waiting for the right content to show up for them on Instagram Stories” - Tyler J. McCall How to Create High Quality Instagram Stories In order to grow your email list through Instagram Stories (we’ll get to that strategy in a minute), you first need to know how to create high quality Instagram Stories that people want to watch. Here’s a quick rundown, but make sure to tune in to the episode for all the details! Create your Stories with purpose and intention Use a good mix of personal and business (Tyler shares information about his business in his Stories, but he also shares his shopping trips to Target! Yes, he loves to walk the aisles and point out some of his favorite products!) Utilize a beginning, middle, and an end to your Story. Just like your elementary school teacher taught you! Download this great 2-page worksheet “The Story Arc Method” to work through an exercise Tyler put together for you to up your Instagram Story game! “Never let the dashes turn into dots!” I love how Tyler put this, regarding being careful to not create painfully long Stories.   I asked Tyler how he always has AMAZING light for his Stories and he shared two tips that money can’t buy!! Use captioning in your Stories for people who want to consume your content but don’t use audio. Tyler said that this technique will help keep retention high, too. Drive interaction with Instagram features like polls and DM conversations. Engage with your followers! How to Grow Your Email List Using Instagram Stories Without Using the Swipe Up Feature Ok, now that you have a plan to create high quality Instagram Stories, Tyler shared some really great insight as to how to grow your email list through a Direct Messaging strategy. Since Tyler has over 10,000 followers he is able to utilize the Swipe Up feature available in Stories, but he admits he doesn’t use it much because he thinks it’s a bit lazy and too passive! Growing your email list through Instagram is all about Instagram Story Direct Messaging! It’s through this DMing that he’s able to directly communicate with his followers, build relationships, hear pain points directly from his potential customers mouth, and engage in an authentic way. Here are a few of the important habits Tyler suggests you build around Instagram Story DM engagement in order to be in a position where you can actually grow your email list: Show up consistently Make sure your content is high quality Use calls to action in your Stories (from asking your followers to answer simple questions, respond to polls, and finally to respond to your invitation for them to learn more about what you’re doing or to gain access to an opt-in offering.) Once you’ve engaged them, keep the conversation going,...see how you can help them Post in the regular feed less often, so you can spend more time in Stories (you saw the stats, this is where the people are!) Do these things and the opt-in opportunities that you offer your followers (the ones that keep coming back to watch your Stories) will put you in a prime position to grow your email list. Tyler’s DM conversions are huge!   Listen in as Tyler shares a system which he calls -- An Instagram Story Opt-In Sandwich -- in which you guide your Story viewers through a journey that ultimately leads them to your lead magnet, content upgrade, or webinar via DM conversations. I, too, have recently using my DMs to engage with my followers, and it is powerful! The only problem is that it can be time-consuming --- time well spent, but time-consuming, nonetheless. Since Tyler gets A LOT of DMs, I asked him how he manages it all and one of the top tips he shared is to get in there a few times throughout the day so you are responding pretty quickly, and also so the DMs don’t pile up and become too overwhelming for you to respond to. I’ve found that it’s helpful for me to actually create a task in Asana (my project management tool), to check my DMs daily, and that’s working well at this point. So here’s what I want you to do, download and work through this 2-page worksheet that Tyler created for you and don’t spend another minute on Instagram without intention and purpose. A great big thank you to Tyler for providing such great step-by-step teaching in this interview! Tyler and I would both love to hear from you in our DMs! I’m @amyporterfield and he’s @tylerjmccall.

The episode we all have been waiting for. We finally get the guest we have been wanting since episode 1, as we welcome former Queen of the Week, Ego Nwodim (UCB). We talk to her about a topic we've been sitting on, black men dating white women and outside of their race. As 3 black men who have and do date white women, we have had this conversation many times and wanted to have it behind the mic with a black woman we respect and she had a lot of great things to say. After that, we chop it up about men sliding into ladies DM's and why we're scared to make definitive moves when it comes to dating. The episode we've waited for over 15 episodes, and it doesn't disappoint. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Fulfilling Life’s Yearnings Is Choosing Life, Over The Stories You Want Life To Tell About You. - Life Decided What’s up FLY Zone, Brothers, Colin and Riley Nielsen join me on the podcast. Colin is 7 years older than Riley. I met Colin and Riley through their Instagram account, @LifeDecided, after they liked one of my photos. I went over to check out their account, which is full of motivational content, and then checked out their blog, LifeDecided.com. I loved the content that they have on their platforms, so I reached out to them using the Direct Messaging capability of Instagram on April 23, 2016 at 8:27pm. I said to them:   Hey Colin and Riley, love the work you guys are doing as Decision Coaches. Very inspiring. I am the host of Fulfilling Life’s Yearnings, a podcast where I interview people like you guys. Would love to connect and have the both of you on as guests and hear your stories. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/blake-soulet/support
