Thanks to social media, It’s never been easier to connect with fellow solopreneurs from across the world. But taking friendships to that next level and meeting up in real life can feel daunting. But when Jereshia Hawk and Jordan Gill met in a Facebook group, these two entrepreneurs made an effort to connect in person and build a friendship even when it required hopping on planes. As business besties, Jereshia and Jordan have helped each other transform their businesses and mindset by sharing their skills and collaborating on business offerings. On this episode we are discussing how to turn online relationships into deep relationships that can transform your business and life.  With over 4 years of corporate Fortune 500 and entrepreneurial experience, Jereshia has led multi-million dollar projects and started two global online businesses. After 14 months of building her business, she became a #CorporateDropout and crossed the bridge into full-time entrepreneurship. Through online courses, consulting and networking, she teachers everyday side hustlers how to leverage the corporate strategies she’s mastered to build multiple income streams by turning their ideas into income, reclaiming financial flexibility and independence. Operations Consultant, Founder of The Kolada Group, and Host of the Systems Saved Me Podcast, Jordan Gill takes pride in saving hours (even days) around time-sucking technology decisions and an untrained team. She has been on the stages of She's Building Her Empire, Creative CEO Conference, Success Without Sacrifice, Blog Like a Boss Brunch, and Vision Casting while also being featured in Belong Magazine!

Founder of the Kolada Group, Jordan Gill, shares the myriad ways she's been able to tap into her connections with influencers to rapidly grow her consulting business online, and how you can do that, too Jordan's Journey Jordan started in online marketing working alongside the owner of a 7-figure business. That business owner helped her see that one of her strongest skill was process and systems optimization. Jordan connected with that first client / manager by applying clever influencer marketing strategies. "I was on her email list, and she posted the position," Jordan relates. After doing her research and knowing that the person in question loved sweets, Jordan sent a set of delicious cupcakes to her manager/client-to-be and her husband, along with a note wishing her luck on her upcoming presentation and highlighting how excited Jordan was about applying for the open position. Shortly after, she was selected for the position, catapulting a successful career in digital marketing. In 2016, Jordan launched her own business as a consultant helping business owners stay in their zone of genius by mastering their processes and systems. Your influencer marketing story Collaborating with influencer connections Jordan shares some of the many different ways she has been able to collaborate with her influencer connections to build authority, rapidly build her list, and grow her business: Joint webinars with a single offer Joint webinar with a combined offer Guest appearances on virtual summits Hosting her own summits Through these forms of collaboration, Jordan builds rapport with her community and delivers value on many different areas. In contrast, with Facebook ads "it takes forever to build trust," she asserts Connecting with the first few influencers Jordan connected with her first group of influencers by hosting her own virtual summit. She started by reaching out to her own connections, and asked them for introduction to people in their network. Thinking out of the box to approach influencers To invite an influencer she didn't know to her summit, Jordan created a customized video expressing why she admired the influencer and why that person would be a perfect speaker for her summit. The result? Success! Jordan stood out by going above and beyond, and by demonstrating she truly cared about the influencers she intended to connect with. Jordan's quick tips to succeed with virtual summits Anticipate people's needs Make it easy for people to work with you Be transparent through the process Promote your guests so that they get maximum exposure Make your speakers feel that they're being well taken care of Worst influencer marketing moment "I've been very lucky so far," Jordan says, but she prevents problems by always creating contracts when collaborating with other entrepreneurs, and by putting all agreements down in writing. Also, Jordan only works with people who are interested in long-term collaboration, and those who share her values. She follows her gut feeling and, as a result, she hasn't had negative experiences with her business connections. One thing you're most excited about Jordan is excited about launching "The Triple Threat," her new signature training to automate your calendar, inbox, and social media to free up your time. Coming up in 2018!
