How does a 30% sales increase in 3 months sound?

If you haven't yet clocked on to the benefits of setting up a TikTok Shop, you could be massively missing out. Often, it's not even the sales you get through TikTok Shop that make up the huge increase in revenue - it's your activity on the social media platform that drives conversions.

Discover how you too can boost your brand's visibility and increase sales through video by checking out today's episode with Eitan from Vimmi.

"Half of my life has been a lie"

In this week's episode of The Engaging Marketeer, @ Darren is speaking to Ash Lawrence, AKA the Flip Flop Psycho, on why so many people fail in sales and business.

A Tottenham Hotspurs fan, Ash is no stranger to failure - but if you're looking to reframe the way you VIEW failure (particularly if you suffer from Impostor Syndrome) you're going to want to check out this episode. As an unconventional psychologist and business coach with a self-proclaimed "Marmite personality", Ash could have just the answers you're looking for.
