  • Ep. 0025: Ending the Feast or Famine Sales Cycle
    As an agency, web developer or marketer who offers websites to your clients… what’s the one thing you always need?
    Leads… That’s exactly right.
    But you don’t just want any leads, you want great leads!
    The problem is that generating leads takes time, which is your most precious commodity. That means taking time out of actually completing projects and working with your current customers.
    Without a consistent source of fresh leads, you leave yourself open to being stuck in the dreaded feast or famine cycle.
    I know this cycle all too well because I see it in my own business. One month sales are great, the next month they are poor. Why is that? It’s because after a good sales month, I don’t have the time to go sell any more… I’m busy producing. The next month, when the work is done, I’m out selling again with no time to work on projects.
    Without knowing it, I’ve just got on sales rollercoaster— and I’ve been on it for over a year. It’s extremely stressful and a very hard way to see steady growth in your business.
    The good news is that it doesn’t HAVE to be this way. In fact, this week we’ll be discussing this cycle (and more importantly—how to break out of it) with our good pal Matt Davies. Matt has been hard at work building a system that can help you consistently bring in quality leads month after month.

  • Ep. 0023: How to Design High-Converting Portfolio Websites

    Does this sound familiar?

    You know good design when you see it… but you can’t seem to replicate it in your own work.

    You feel like design is the one thing holding you back from feeling like a professional in your clients’ eyes (whether that’s actually the case or not).

    You cringe every time you give your URL out to somebody and mutter something along the lines of “It needs a bit of prettying up, but…”

    Dealing with this stuff is hard. As a freelancer, you wear a lot of hats. Most things you can learn with a bit of research or trial and error, but design is one of those things that doesn’t seem to have any logic to it. It’s either good, or it’s not.

    In an ideal world, we wouldn’t have to deal with design at all. People would see our ideas for what they are and they wouldn’t make judgements based on how it looks. Then, when we have enough revenue behind us, we can just hire a kick-ass designer to make it all look polished and professional.

    Unfortunately, we’re all painfully aware that that’s not how it works. People have come to expect good design. And we all know we’re more likely to trust a product or company that is well designed.

    Well, my friend Laura Elizabeth has been on a mission to teach developers (and really anyone who doesn’t consider themselves a ‘designer’) the fundamentals of design so you can create products that solve a problem AND look great. And she’s agreed to do a free workshop where she goes through a step-by-step process you can use to design something you can be proud of.
