This is episode 309 of Bella in Your Business.

Hi there, I'm Bella Vasta from Jump Consulting. You might know me from CBS, NBC, Fox, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur, or maybe you've seen me speak on stage or read my book The Four Dogs That Every Business Owner Needs. In any case, get ready because you're about to get your hashtag Bella Butt Kickin' in this next episode of Bella in Your Business.

One of the best ways to do this is by standing out from the competition—so that when someone lands on your website, they just can’t help but sign up or call you right away. Or email you. Or whatever your call to action is (which, by the way, should only be one).

You want them to do this one thing, and I'm going to give you three tactics today that will help make sure you land the client instead of someone else. And by someone else, I mean friends, family, neighbors, Rover, Wag, the kid next door,
