Hey - Sickly Corrie and Heather here with this week's Baking it Down Podcast a la Sugar Cookie Marketing Facebook Group! In this podcast, we talk about best business practices, client communication, & random things Corrie does that annoy Heather. 

Here's what we're covering this week:

• Intro 
• Marketing Minutes - "No Repertoire"
• Business of Baking - Educating the Client with a Push Button Start
• Voicemails / Texts / Emails (571) 556-5644)
• Group Stuff - Upcoming Lives and such.
• Twinterests 
• Sponsor
• Mail Bag!

In the Marketing Minutes, Heather covers a portion of the book she's been reading: Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less. The book focuses on optimizing your life by saying no to a lot of things that detract and distract leaving you to do what you're truly best at. As such, the book requires a lot of "no's" and gives us eight great ways to let someone down nice 'n easy.

In the Business of Baking, Corrie recounts how she turned off a client who was turning on a vehicle the wrong way. The client wasn't educated, but by not taking the time to educate them, Corrie made them feel polarized which lost her the sale. So - spend the extra few minutes educating clients, but hey - most of us don't have a clue over here in "I want it, I got it" land. Bezos has truly ruined us.

In Voicemails, we have someone who is graduating up to "business owner with employees" which is also a tough switch-a-roo. We also have someone battling with "rush fees" - what to call them, how to handle them. After that, how do you market to businesses? Discounts? And finally - what have we learned from the group. Hint: Corrie has learned nothing.

Finally - the Mail Bag! We actually got mail in our mailbag today. Debbie Chrisnell of Debbie’s Cookie Creations LLC sent us the cuuuutest heat sealer platform that was 3D printed and I am obsessed. I gotta take a picture of it this week and post it to the group. Definitely going to use it this week because tonight I gotta do 4 dozen cookies for thursday.
