If you market your business online, chances are you’ve noticed that traditional content marketing doesn’t work anymore. Perfectly curated social media feeds and well-designed short videos may get lots of likes but they aren’t attracting paying clients.
In order to stand out and win the sale, you’ve got to stop blending in and doing what everyone else is doing online. You need pattern interrupting content that moves people out of their routines and into recognizing what they need most – and that is something they might not even recognize yet.
On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 289, I talk with Kathryn Thompson about the kind of content that is working best right now, and how to create messages that actually produce ideal leads.

You have probably heard how valuable it is to survey your customer base to understand what their real needs are. But if you don’t ask the right questions, you might not get the full value from the survey process.
Surveys can not only provide valuable marketing data, when used in the right part of your marketing process, they can actually help you engage your prospects, deepen their desire to hire or buy from you, and even continue to use your offerings year after year.
Sounds like a dream come true, right?
On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 288, I talk with Matt Champagne about the most effective ways to use surveys to engage your audience and develop a stronger relationship with your customers.

One business owner is doing all the giving and the other one is benefiting. Or you feel like these “friends” just show up when it is time to promote their newest offering but they are stealthily silent when you make a request.
Everyone is different, and when it comes to cross promotions, you might want to evaluate if you are attracting the sharks or the dolphins.
Sharks tend to eat and run. =-)
Dolphins like to hang out, play and generously support their friends.
