Connection Loop by Dubb

Businesses both large and small can increase their conversion rates by optimizing their sales funnels. From the moment they first make contacts with prospects to when those prospects become paying customers, sales professionals must pay close attention to every part of their sales funnel. The unfortunate reality, however, is that many businesses fail to properly follow up with their prospects. Doing this, they leave forego many opportunities that can result in long-term customer relationships.

To learn more about the art of follow-ups and optimizing sales funnels, Dubb founder Ruben Dua spoke with Shawn Finder. Shawn is the founder and CEO of Autoklose, which is a sales automation platform used by thousands of people around the world. Before Autoklose, Shawn founded a company called ExchangeLeads, which helps salespeople build high-quality lists for reaching out to new prospects. It’s safe to say that Shawn is the perfect person to speak with when discussing sales funnels and the art of following up.

Ruben and Shawn discuss many different topics in this episode. Some of them include Shawn’s origin story, why personalization is the key to any follow-up, why you should include “this is a cold email” in the subject line when sending cold emails, why video can be super powerful when connecting with prospects, and customers, why perfect practice makes perfect, and why it is important to find and retain the right clients.

No matter your age, skills, or experience, the simple reality is that your mindset plays a huge role in your future success. The way that you think about yourself and the rest of the world directly influences your actions. A positive mindset goes a long way in helping you achieve your personal and professional goals. On the other hand, a negative mindset places steep, self-imposed obstacles in your path, which can make you fall short of your goals.

To further explore some of these ideas, Dubb founder Ruben Dua spoke with Olga Geidane. Olga is a mindset coach and speaker. She helps her clients make the necessary changes to transform their lives at every level. Specifically, she helps her clients work on themselves, their relationships, and their businesses. As Olga says, making these transformations is possible for all of her clients.

In this episode of Connection Loop, you will hear Ruben and Olga discuss things like Olga’s origin story, why life is all about mindset, how you can get over that feeling of desperation, why it’s critical to look at life through a lens of abundance, how you can find your true purpose, and why it’s important to fall in love with yourself. It’s a terrific conversation and one that we’re certain you’ll enjoy.

In our professional lives, it is all too easy to focus on the numbers. We’re looking at profit and loss statements, user growth numbers, customer churn, and more. While these things are certainly important, other extremely important factors lead to business success. Those things include purpose, authenticity, resilience, and equity. Many of us struggle to align all of these things in our day-to-day lives, making it difficult to create a career that truly speaks to us.

It is for these reasons that we’re excited to share this conversation with Laura Nutt. Laura is a licensed professional counselor supervisor in Texas. She has been involved in the mental health space for quite some time and is also venturing out into life coaching. Her mission? To help people align their purpose, make meaning in their lives, empower people to embrace themselves, and spread that message throughout the world.

In her discussion with Dubb founder Ruben Dua, Laura spoke about things like her origin story, why our mindset is the key to everything, why sharing your story is healing, why it is important to explore those feelings that lead to depression and anger, and why it’s important to recognize that you are the expert of your own life. It’s a fantastic conversation that could change your life.

No matter the business that you are in, one important task on your plate is building a passionate digital audience. Amassing a true tribe of followers helps you build your brand equity, gather new ideas for future products and services, and creates an already-existing cohort of prospects that are likely to purchase from you. While all of these benefits are clear, actually amassing that passionate group of followers is easier said than done.

One person that has successfully amassed a huge following within a short period of time is Ira Bowman. Ira has amassed over 180,000 followers on LinkedIn alone. He is the owner of Bowman Digital Media, which helps its clients quickly improve sales by design. While it may seem daunting to obtain a LinkedIn following as large as Ira’s, it is certainly achievable.

In his conversation with Dubb founder Ruben Dua, Ira gets into some of the key strategies that helped him build a network and have a ton of fun at the same time. Topics discussed include Ira’s thoughts on how the LinkedIn platform has changed since 2009, how #projecthelpyougrow helped Ira build his credibility on LinkedIn, how Ira managed to build a business around a nine-to-five job, and why you want to get to 30,000 connections as fast as you can. It’s a great conversation that can help you get the most out of LinkedIn.
