Do you know much about social selling? This is a pretty new and exciting topic in the online space! 

Essentially, social selling is selling through DMs instead of sales calls. The beauty of it is that it is not done in an invading or sleazy way.

This really interests me, so I am talking to Lattice Hudson about how she does it in her business.

Lattice is a business coach, leadership mentor and social sales expert. She is on a mission to help women make more money and increase their impact all while living a life that they love. Lattice believes in the quote “a woman with wealth is a woman with power”.

Throughout this conversation, we get into the difference between closing on Instagram and Facebook, why you need to define your KPIs, how to track all of your active conversations, keeping up with quick growth and so much more.

If you are looking for a new strategy when it comes to selling, this is an awesome way to do it.

How can relationship building help you organically grow your business? 

I can confidently say that the relationships that I have built over my five years of entrepreneurship have single handedly taken my business to the next level, but I think that relationship building is so often overlooked!

As online business owners, we are stuck behind our computers a lot of the time, and we don’t really think about the importance of this. My guest, Shannon Mattern, is joining me in this episode to talk all about why relationships are so important for growth.

Shannon Mattern teaches non-techie DIYers how to build a website and get found online, and she teaches web designers how to create profitable, sustainable, scalable web design businesses. Shannon is also the host of Pep Talks for Side Hustlers, a podcast that shares side-hustle success stories and advice to help listeners go from side-hustle to self-employed (without taking a pay cut)!

Shannon shares with us how she went from side hustle to self-employed, the importance of relationship building to grow your business and how consistency and persistence are the key to success through it all. 

If you underestimate the power that lies in relationship building, this is the episode that you need to hear!

Have you ever heard of Leadpages?

I bet you have! This software company has really changed my life and my business. When I first started using Leadpages, I was so relieved because it is SO easy to use, and I haven’t looked back since!

I can honestly say that I would not have the business that I have today without it, so I am so excited to be talking to Bob Sparkins from Leadpages in this episode.

As the Sales Marketing Manager at Leadpages, Bob Sparkins champions the customers of the top landing page and website building conversion platform and the audiences they serve. A former high school history teacher and academic team coach, Bob has taught business owners around the world how to leverage digital marketing to impact more people with less effort since 2006. He is the author of Take Action, Revise Later; and lives in Bloomington, Minnesota with his wife, Therese, and their amusing kids, Kira and Landon.

We are covering how Leadpages helps turn strangers into leads, the difference between WordPress and Leadpages, what an ideal page has on it to create conversions, and more.

Bob is giving so many actionable tips on how to get more leads in your business and close more sales. I would consider myself an expert when it comes to Leadpages, and I even took notes and learned a lot from Bob! I know you will too, so make sure you have a notebook handy and you’re listening closely!

We are chatting all about Pinterest advertising in this episode!

I made a huge pivot in 2020 and moved away from teaching Pinterest advertising, but I did dedicate 4 years of my business teaching it! Because of that, I get a TON of questions about if Pinterest ads are worth it.

I get asked the most often if Pinterest ads are worth investing in and if someone should start with Facebook or Pinterest ads first, so I am answering these two questions in this episode.

You will also hear about how my thoughts on Pinterest ads have significantly evolved since I retired my Pinterest ads course last year.

I know this episode will be helpful for you to gain a greater understanding as to what’s going on with Pinterest ads in 2021 and also the differences between Facebook and Pinterest ads.

As digital product creators, it is so important that we keep up with these platforms and educate ourselves so we can make the best decisions for our businesses!

I’ve gone through a lot of major life changes in the past 6-9 months…

Between postpartum PTSD, retiring my signature course on Pinterest advertising, starting to prioritize my physical and emotional health, being more strict with my workweek and more, there have been a lot of changes!

In this episode, I am talking about how these life changes put me in a recent situation where I experienced major sexism and really solidified why my business mission is to help women achieve financial independence. 

Over the years, I’ve seen way too many women in my life be in unhealthy situations because they lacked the financial resources to get out of it. This makes me EXTREMELY passionate about every single woman’s right to financial security. 

I am more passionate and revved up to help women reach their financial goals than ever before, and I want you to be one of those women who crush the 6-figure mark!

Listen in for an honest conversation, and hopefully, the inspiration and direction that you need to take action if you find yourself in some of the same situations.

Do you know about BC Stack? It's a bundle that comes out every year of different online marketing courses, and I have actually had a product in it for the last few years!

This bundle is unlike any bundle you have ever seen, so I am talking to Dan Morris, CEO, about how BC Stack got started and what his entrepreneurial journey has been like.

Every year, Dan searches the globe to find ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the world of making money online. Then, he invites them to team up by adding their very BEST online training to the “Stack” and lets them sell it for a tiny fraction of the retail price to tens of thousands of hungry and dedicated students for 7 days only.

This gives them a surge of new students in their business, Dan the opportunity to assemble the ultimate A-Z resource on what’s working in digital marketing today, and students the chance to learn from 65 vetted & approved experts for 1% of the retail price. This saves countless hours of researching and removes nearly all of the trial and error.

This episode is unlike any other episode I have done on the show so far, so you are definitely going to be getting some out-of-the-box tips and tricks from it!

Tune in to hear more from Dan or to hear more information about BC Stack!

How do I find someone to work inside of my business? How do I get help? Do you have any tips for hiring? These are some of the questions that I get asked the most from my community and my students.

Even after five years of hiring in my own business, I still don’t feel like an expert in this, so I am talking to someone who is in this episode!

Tina Forsyth works with visionaries and business leaders to align their business with their calling and to help them hire and lead top performers to take their business to the next level. For over twenty years, she has worked with 6 and 7 figure business owners to shift them out of burnout so they can shine.

Are you ready to get a handle on your data as an entrepreneur?

Jennifer Grayeb is the CEO of The Nimble Co., a consulting group focused on helping online business owners better understand their numbers so they can make data-driven and profit-generating marketing decisions, and she is joining me in this episode!

Jennifer recently left her senior strategy role at a Fortune 5 company where she had 6 roles in just 7 years. While in that role, in just 2 years she built a productivity blog that reached over 2 million pageviews per year, which she went on to sell. In every role she’s had or every company she’s owned, one thing has been consistent: she delivers results without working 80 hour weeks. Now she helps others do the same with one of her best kept secrets - data.

The reality is that data is the backbone of every business, and this includes online businesses. Unfortunately, it doesn’t come easy to a lot of us! Luckily, we are getting some help in this episode!

If you want to be able to read and understand your data, listen in because Jennifer uncovers common mistakes and misconceptions about data as well as gives some simple steps that you can take to start getting a handle on your data right now!
