Is your business a one-shot sales deal, or do you need to pay more attention?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

To maximize your sales conversion it's imperative to have a system in place to follow up on your prospects, categorize your customers and leads and create tasks accordingly, plus have some auto responders to bring them further down your sales funnel. The system is a repeating cycle to ensure your prospects become long term customers.

Why do you think you need a system in place for social media?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

For some people, social media is fly-by-night and not important. If you have a business, social media means you must have a system and routine to ensure your branding and exposure remains consistent and grows. The goal is to have followers and engage with your community. The only way to do this is to have a routine in place to ensure posts are pre-scheduled and you monitor your platforms on a regular basis. Consistency is key to marketing your business successfully.

How many moving pieces can you see in a Podcast?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

That question was obviously rhetorical because you can't see a podcast. Anyone that does a podcast show knows there are a lot of moving pieces. Scheduling, getting show notes, bio's and headshots, graphics, uploading into itunes and your website and of course promoting them and informing & thanking the guest. Systems ensure you meet deadlines, so don't miss a step and stay consistent. Have a system in place!

Did you know something as simple as an Opt-in can bring your business systems in-line?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

If you have a plan, or set of tasks for capturing leads, which includes thanking prospects for entering their email and saying yes to your opt-in, then this is another super way to keep people coming back for more. What about delivery of goods? Or, a follow up and auto responder to bring them further into the sales funnel? All of these systems and procedures are key to sales conversions.

Everyone talks about systems and how important they are. But what does it all mean?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

Dan Kennedy says that "All wealth is based on systems" and I couldn't agree more! Systems are critical to being organized, increasing customer service and efficiency. For example, when you're bringing on new clients, having a set of procedures in place will ensure all steps are covered, making a great first impression and validating the decision they've made to work with you. Procedures are really your first step to creating a great system!

I love shortcuts, tips and tricks... don't you?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

If you get bogged down with putting social media content out, why not pull from your own bag of tricks. You've got tricks you use, or maybe you call them tips. Put out something that will give your audience more value and know how, so they keep coming back for more. Go ahead start writing what you know, the rest will come.

Are you feeling the pressure to get content out every single day?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

If you're feeling pressure to put content out continually, I find the best thing is to get creative with other people's quotes. There is so much out there... just google "quotes" or be more specific. Maybe you want to quote a specific person in your niche, or just a famous person. Just pair it up with a graphic and BOOM, you're done.

Have you got some awesome testimonials about your services?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

Testimonials are one of the greatest things to share on social media. When you have people saying amazing things about your products or services, why not get it out there and share it? It's free advertising and gives you content to fill the void.

If you're stuck for content to write about, why not use what's around you?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

What's news with you? Have you got some personal achievements you to want to write about? Maybe something is going on with your kids and their challenges? Even office news is good to write about (if you're in an office) - a new baby perhaps? or and up-coming wedding? maybe a new employee? Be observant and get your creative mojo working for you.

Where do you search for social content close to home?

I'm your host Lyndsay Phillips and this is your Smooth Business Growth Flash Update.

If you need to put local content out, or represent events online for your community, why not look online for community news and events? Your Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trade, or Town would have it. Maybe you've sponsored a local event, or maybe you have a charity you want to plug. There is endless material to pull from to help with your online presence.
