A strong community around your business doesn’t just create a feel-good atmosphere, it actively drives referrals, reduces your cost per acquisition (CPA), and positions your brand as an integral part of people’s lives... Why do referrals soar in a community-driven business? People Trust People Referrals are gold because they’re rooted in trust. When your community members rave about you, their endorsement carries weight, way more than any ad ever could. Word-of-Mouth on Steroids A loyal community loves to share. Whether it’s tagging your business on Instagram, leaving glowing reviews, or recommending you to a friend, their enthusiasm is infectious. Social Proof in Action A buzzing community is social proof on display. It signals to potential customers, "This is where the cool kids (and smart buyers) hang out." #marketing #business #insights #strategy #referrals

Your LinkedIn profile is a midgie's tinkle in the grand scheme of your biz. But on LinkedIn? It's quite a big tinkle. And if you get it right, it can help your prospects send you a DM, book a call, sign up to your emails, download a lead magnet or visit your website and go straight in for a purchase. Boom! Pennies in your bank. Profile Viewer ˃ Prospect ˃ Client The problem is that many people don't treat it this way. Why? It lacks clarity Has shitty functionality It directs people to a post with 1000 likes that talks about how they overcame adversity when someone stole their last Rolo Sexy visuals, clear wording, and a purposeful profile definitely help when you spend a lot of time here to grow your biz. Now, I'm unsure if Catherine Gladwyn bought the profile visual revamp package because of her meds (she tends to buy a lot of unnecessary stuff), but how awesome does her new profile look? You see how the visuals serve a purpose?

#InstagramHelp #SmallBusinessTips #SconeLoafLove Hey everyone! 😊 I need some advice regarding my daughter’s new little venture. She's been busy selling her delicious traditional Irish scone loaves through her Instagram page, @kateskitchen_claudy, and it's really starting to take off! 🎉 However, we’ve run into a bit of a hiccup — there’s no message button on her profile! 📵 We've scoured the account settings and confirmed that everything is set to public, but still, that elusive message button is nowhere to be found. It’s super frustrating because we want to make it easy for potential customers to reach out and ask questions or place orders. Here’s why this can be a big deal: Customer Connections: Without a message button, engaging with clients becomes challenging. Quick communication can really boost sales! 💬 Professional Image: Missing features might lead customers to think something’s off with the account, impacting their trust. 🤔 Opportunity Loss: Each day the button is missing...

Still baffles me how people slide in girls DMs on Instagram pitching a date. And use the EXACT same method to slide into creator’s DMs on X pitching their services. Now you have the girls and creators laughing at you. Sales and dating is the same bruv. Find out if they want to date (want your service) with qualifying questions. Rizz them up (give them free value). Pitch the date (sell the implementation). Ask for the date (ask for the sale). But mfs will go straight for the kill and ask for the sale. Don’t do that. Qualify first.

So, we've been mulling over the few things that really bug us as agency owners at Fore Creative Agency. Not that there are many, but we figured we'd share our 'icks' to see if other founders can relate! First off, there's cold emailing. It's 2024 people, and I've lost count of the number of 'Do you want to make $50k in new Monthly Revenue in 5 months' emails we've received over the last three years. If only it were as easy as those emails suggest! Next, there's the habit some middle-aged men have of addressing emails to us simply as 'Ladies.' There's not much to say about this one, it just hits a nerve. And lastly, there's the issue of people not paying on time. Despite clearly outlining our payment terms, sending multiple reminders, and maintaining a friendly approach, it still happens… What are your business 'icks'? We'd love to hear them!

Want to play a game? See if you can figure out why my first agency offer failed. Here are the facts: 1) Offer: we charged businesses $1500 to set up cold email and LinkedIn outbound. Then, we charged $500/month to update their cold email copy. 2) Results: we didn't really have a problem getting clients, but we had a problem keeping them. Client success was low, and churn was high. With these facts, comment your best guess as to why. Let's see who really knows outbound!
