Here is my Valentine's gift to you. It costs $0 to implement. As a virtual assistant to both product and service based brands, One thing I've learned over the years is you don't need much to steal the hearts of your audience. It's the littlest things that matter. Yes, freebies are great but almost everyone is into it and I want something else that makes you different. NOTICED. The first thing that helps is replying your DMs early. I know you cannot be in your page all day (you have a life outside your business). But this becomes easier when you automate (e.g using manychat) or delegate. No one wants to be kept waiting for a long period of time. The faster the better. The next thing is to always overdeliver. Overdelivering on any project regardless of the pay will give you lots of retaining clients- plus referrals. Lastly, Your conversation doesn't end after delivering the item/service. A consistent follow up is key. The aim for this is to show you are always available should in case they have any questions later. This also helps you build a strong community and also put you on top of mind anytime your services is needed. You'll be their first bus-stop. Remember, contrary to what may be trending It is mostly the littlest things you do that makes your brand stand out. Happy Valentine's Day.♥️ Know that you're always special. Shalom.✨ #valentinesday #customerengagement #virtualassistantservices #businessowners #enterpreneurs #businessstrategies

So today is Valentine’s day! And here are some tips that you can use in sales that I have learned from dealing with my girlfriend. Thank god she doesn’t have a profile on LinkedIn. Okay here we go! 1. Too many options Don’t give your client too many options!! More options = more confusion. Check out how Apple lays out its pricing and try to experiment on that! 2. Will take time to convert! Yea your first impression matters but don’t value it so much! At the end of the day, if the customer isn’t ready, convincing them to get ready fast will only make things worse for you. Let them take their time, nurture them and support them, because it’s always worth it. 3. Keep tabs on them after conversion. Yes they converted but that doesn’t mean it’s time for you to brush them off and focus on new leads! Connect with them at least once a week, see how your product is helping them grow, understand what’s working and what not! 4. Upsell! A happy customer is a growing customer! It means that they are using your product everyday and it’s actually helping them grow! Time to double down? No! Don’t get your hopes up so fast. Make an upsell strategy and start with additions that benefit the most first! 5. Get that prenup!!!!! I cannot stress this enough!!! Be very very thorough on your contracts, it’s legal and it’s binding! A powerful contract will help you get out of difficult situations, maybe not with ease because breakups are always nasty, but at least things will be in your favor! 6. Drama! If things go sour, yes you will get bad reviews! Ignore them if you’re in a bad mood, focus on growth and reply to those bad reviews with a pleasant mood. You don’t need to be ruthless to someone who is bad to you. Just apologize and move on! Good clients understand that everyone has a past. Hope this quirky post makes sense. And are you really working late on Valentine’s day?

These boxes represent the latest and greatest version of Nommli. One that our customers/subscribers love! But, these are not even our first batch or first month or first anything. Yet, I will hold this batch the closest to my heart forever. Not just because we shipped on Valentine's Day. Our 'ship day', is always an insanely busy day for Nommli. And throw into the mix, two sugar hyped kids from valentines. Almost every customer talks about our attention to detail and thoughtfulness among other very nice things. So, this was a day for me to obsess over fine details. The day took an unexpected turn when I had a family emergency. The day turned out to be a tug-of-war, not two ways but three, between all the things I love the most. My mom, kids and Nommli. Coordinating completely unrelated things at the same time - countless phone calls to India, valentine stuff with kids, business partners in east coast, backend operations with co-founder Raj Peddapati, calls to attending family, final touches to Nommli experiences (because we customize), calls with hospital staff, status updates, next steps, weighing India travel options, calls with local business partners, inventory runs, cancelled meetings (because I can't keep up) and I am probably missing more. Yes, unsuccessful valentine 'swaps' between my kids resulting in meltdowns. I had moments when I felt like I was on auto-pilot but others when I felt I had no control. It ended up being a Valentine's that truly pushed the boundaries of everything I loved. In all the craziness that followed the rest of the day, I somehow managed to stop and take this picture before we shipped. To me, this picture speaks to all the things that we as founders push through. The good, bad and ugly. As founders we are pretty self-critical, pushing one more inch, making one more attempt, living in the bottomless pit. All because we believe in this thing we are working on. And we want the world to see it through our eyes and feel its heartbeat. But grounded in reality, I know that this box is a "product" to the rest of the world. And the recipients may never know that it was a box not only filled with "the product" but a ton of love. To my fellow founders and entrepreneurs; especially if you are a woman and/or an immigrant (like me), pat yourself. You created something that did not exist in this world before you! Happy Valentine's Day! Belated. #womenentrepreneurs #founders #immigrantstories #valentines #product #startuplife #startupjourney #startupgrowth #startupgrind

Happy Valentine's Day to all our incredible clients, team members, and followers 💖 As part of our Valentine’s Day celebrations, I want to highlight The Art of Business team. I asked some of our team members what they love most about the work they do; here are some of their answers… One of our talented graphic designers, Brenda - whose creative and expressive nature brings life to our projects - stated, "What I love most about my job is the power of communication, being able to convey an idea or a feeling through images." Deirdre, who helps keep things on track behind the scenes at The Art of B, says: “I really enjoy how we all come together, using our unique skills to get the results our clients need. The constant exchange of ideas and perspectives is probably what I love most”. Diana (our super-efficient admin who provides game-changing support to both clients and team members) shared, "I love to help people with those little things that at the end of the day make a big difference and sometimes tend to be forgotten. Be there for them each time they want to talk about their business and help them to achieve their goals … . ". Dionne, whose data-driven insights always steer us in the right direction, responded: "What I love the most about my job is seeing the positive impact the work we do has on peoples’ businesses/companies; it's so fulfilling. Also, Amanda is such an amazing boss, she gives you room to learn and grow, where I am now in TAOB is not where I started, I've learnt so much under her guidance which I'm so grateful for”. If you're a business owner who loves what you do, we're eager to hear about your unique journey and discover how we can create a custom marketing plan to help your business thrive. Let’s connect!

Being a first-time dater can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, particularly during Valentine’s Day. A key to showing your new partner that you care is to strike the right balance between showing him or her that you care without overwhelming him or her. Listed below are some helpful ideas for celebrating Valentine’s Day in a way that’s lighthearted, fun, and respectful of the early stages of your relationship. 1. Keep It Casual: You should understand that if you have just started dating, a grand gesture may not be appropriate at this point in your relationship. You may wish to take a more casual approach to avoid putting too much pressure on the situation. A low-key date might include grabbing coffee, going for a walk, or enjoying a casual dinner. 2. Plan a Fun Activity: Choose an activity that will allow you both to relax and enjoy each other’s company. Engaging in a shared experience, whether it be a cooking class, a comedy show, or bowling, can create lasting memories without the intensity often associated with Valentine’s Day. 3. Express Your Interest: The smallest gestures can speak volumes. The perfect gift would be a thoughtful and simple one, such as a book by their favorite author, a small bouquet of flowers, or a card expressing your gratitude for their assistance. These gestures demonstrate that you have taken the time to pay attention to their likes and dislikes. #matchmakinginla #matchmakingforwomen #matchmakingformen #matchmaking #matchmakingservices #valentinesday #truelove #highendmatchmaking #miami #MiamiDating #exquisiteintroductions #exclusivedating #bestmatchmakingservice #match #love #truelove https://lnkd.in/gU-eRY2r

Promoting Acceptance and Good Vibes on Valentine's Day On Valentine's Day, I've been thinking about how it might affect our office. It's great to see how happy it makes some coworkers, but it's important to remember that for others—those who are widowed, divorced, single, or just feeling lonely—the day can bring up sad or lonely feelings without them realizing it. Many people really feel the "Valentine's Day Blues," even though it's not a diagnosed condition. We have a great chance to strengthen our sense of community and team spirit now that we know this. Just a simple idea: It would be great if, when our workplace celebrates Valentine's Day with gifts and small parties, there was also a kind act that supported all of our coworkers, whether they are in a relationship or not. It might be as easy as A Shared Potluck Lunch: Encouraging an optional and casual potluck lunch gives everyone a chance to meet new people and make friends. A Holiday Treat: A simple treat or cake that everyone shares would add a touch of sweetness to the day. These kinds of actions that include everyone show that we care about our job and boost morale in a way that helps the whole team. Take Aways: Inclusivity: Shows how important it is to think about how everyone feels during celebrations at work. Team building: Sees small, thoughtful actions as good for the morale of the whole team. Proactive approach: presents the idea as a good way to make the company culture better.
