Bar Diaries with Jason Littrell

Well, we didn't cure anything, but it certain ly feels like it sometimes.

This week we built a very sophisticated but easy to use system that helps bars and restaurants capture customer contact information while leaving a positive gooe review.

Think about that for a moment. That's how 87% of people find new restaurants!

Imagine what having positive, recent reviews would do for your business!!

What we made is positively unfair! Reach out if you want that for your business.

Head to Jason.focusbeverage.com and let's get this rolling for your brand, bar, or liquor store!

Want to steal our stuff? No problem. We're an open book. 

Our thinking is that if we give you the most advanced strategies in the world, you will have an understanding of what it's like to work with us. And who knows, maybe you'll want us to take the sales and marketing part of your business off your plate so you can focus on your brand baby!

This week has got me fired up and ready for the weekend to celebrate my babys momma.

I go through some of the accomplishments this week to show you what we've been working on.

I go through exactly how I'm building a new spirits sales and marketing agency called Focus Beverage Solutions and about some of the automations and sneaky stuff we're doing for our agency and our clients.

This is ALL DOCUMENTED on my YouTube channel!

It's all about time.

When you're on your death bed, you're not going to ask for more money.

A big part of our identity is our belief system. This is born of thoughts, either yours or someone else's.

So why n9t spend some time cultivating your own thoughts and ideas?

We fetishize being busy to a very u healthy point.

We receive 10000+ marketing messages each day and each one is trying to do what? Influence our thoughts.

How do you resist this?

By turning off all your toys and devices, and practice thinking.

What's the best use of that newly freed bandwidth?

Think about whatever you want, but rather than going wide. Go deep.

Take one thought, or idea, and ask yourself why that would be good/interesting/important.

If you need help with this exercise, ask any three year old. They will help prompt you.

People use social media for all kinds of different reasons.

Cat Memes.

Extreme sports.

To sell stuff.

Social media is undoubtedly the most powerful sales tool you can have for your business, if you use it with intention.

For instance, if you regularly publish content that your avatar customer finds particularly appealing and valuable, how much more likely would they be to buy from you?

Much more so because they know who you are, and you have already provided value.

In this video I touch on how to use social media as a SALES FUNNEL which introduces your ideal customer to their ideal solution (you.).

So the top of the funnel is discovery/awareness or whatever you want to call it. And the subsequent steps represent the different stages your customer leads go through to ultimately end up buying from you.

If you're keeping track of each of these stages, you can identify where the leaks in the funnel are, and correct them.

For instance, if nobody is converting into a customer, you know that there is a problem at some stage of the funnel.

If you need help identifying these problems converting leads in to customers, reach out to [email protected], or head to hello.jlittrell.com

In this video I run you through the best way to get your days started and off to a great start.

We tend to put off the harder things or the non negotiable tasks until later in the day when we are low on bandwidth, or are tired, or not creative.

This process puts all those tasks first so you start your day with tons of energy, and with a sense of accomplishment.

That momentum can easily carry you through the rest of the day.

I highly encourage you to write the script for the life you want. This daily visualization helps get you there.

Hello.jlittrell.com

Workflows and Automation are the easiest and best way to publish your content everywhere. As part of my daily content production for my businesses, I dedicate about 90 minutes a day to making content, but these hacks and tricks cut that down to about 20 minutes.

I speak my mind (no script today), edit via Inshot, Upload to YouTube, and between IFTTT.com and Zapier, my content is transcribed via Happy Scribe and uploaded to the show notes folder (shownotes.jlittrell.com) and redistributed to a Facebook Group (Service and Hospitality Entrepreneurs), and my twitter feed.

The manual actions are still...

Canva for YouTube Thumbnail, and manually writing this caption, as well as tagging on YouTube. Also, the whole sequence doesn't start until I put this video in the TLS playlist. Fun stuff!!!

All in (including programming IFTTT and Zapier): about 45 minutes. Next time should take less than half that. Then next, half that again.

Let's see how this works out...

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
