Ok so over the last few episodes we have reported on the sad events of one of the partners of BPC and we felt we had drawn a line under it all and were ready to move on...

...but I mean wtf!

When you discover this sort of thing going on we owe it to our listeners to warn of the dangers of being too trusting. 

So our message is to be careful because you wouldn't want this to happen to you.

If you have had a similar experience then let's share and commiserate and put in place some better checks before we try again!

And here is the link to our fun chatbot... :)

We. Did. NOT. See. That. Coming!!!!!

Today we have some very sad and shocking news for our podcast friends. You will not believe it! 😲

Listen carefully as we explain why we feel we could never trust Andy Morrell again.

Following on from episode 20 about why you should not start a partnership, today we explain what happened to us.

It has made us feel sick, extremely low, disillusioned and yet it won't change how we wish to behave. We are so positive about the Business Profit Club's future and just because someone does this to you, it won't make us behave any differently. We are not into revenge or grudges. There isn't time to waste on people who behave badly. Learn from the experience and move on is how Nigel and Si view all of this!

Coming soon will be a series on how AI and chatbots will double your sales, create raving fans whilst slashing your marketing bills using AI

On a happier note...😊...try this super-cool chatbot... https://jo.my/rock_paper_scissors

If you have a property that you rent out for short stays to people (you know, like Airbnb) then one of the biggest problems, pains and headaches is access to the property!

Maybe you don't have that but you have an elderly relative who needs to let people in to the property such as carers and you live miles away.

Or perhaps you need to let a neighbour in to the house whilst you are away.

Whatever the situation the question is always: How do you give them a key? 

It is possibly THE biggest day-to-day headache for many of us.

What do you do?

Key safe on the wall?

Wait for them to turn up and give them the key?

Fly back from your holiday to let someone in?!

If you have given someone a key, how do you get the key back from them?

How do you let maintenance or cleaners in?

The list of problems with keys - lost, broken, copied(!!), locksmiths, loads of keys, wrong keys, key management, security, time, travel, frustration, stress, etc is a real issue.

Today though we have an answer to your prayers!

Nigel T is joined by a locksmith, a lock manufacturer and a landlord to talk about the problems and the solution.

Have you ever asked someone to build you a website and when they say what do you want it to be you replied...

Easy. Cheap. Secure. Fast & Sexy!?!?

Relax because we have all done that.

But then did you find that what you got was more a case of...

Difficult. Expensive. Not secure. Slow and definitely not sexy?

Yes. We have probably all been there too 😆

If you wanted a website fast and you wanted it cheap and you wanted to be in control of changes and you got it from Fiverr or People Per Hour then the chances are you got a WordPress site. Perfect! Or is it? It could be that your WordPress site is setting you up for failure...security issues, plug in update problems, broken website links, poor SEO and rankings, being HACKED!!! 

So how do you make sure your website is what you dreamed it would be?

It isn't easy if you don't know so that's why we are talking you through several key decisions you need to make that you probably never thought of...

- Bespoke coded website?

- WordPress based website?

- Does it make a difference?

- Speed of website, is it important?

- How Google views websites

- Who looks after the website? 

- Who updates your website?

- Who or what keeps your website secure?

Today Andy talks us through what you need to consider when you make your choice 🎯so you make a GOOD CHOICE!

There is a lot to take in and you need to understand what you are getting for your money. After all your website could be one of the best marketing tools you have.

Listen up and wise up 😎

Do you have a Facebook Group?

If not then with the changes that are coming to Facebook Groups you may be missing out on a HUGE opportunity for your business or community group

Nigel T, Si Si and Andy went to a Facebook event - the Community Leadership Circles - in Leeds where there was the opportunity to network with other Facebook Group Admins and potentially influence Facebook Group development

The hosts of the event, Paula and Daniel, were great and who knows, some of our suggestions may soon be available in Facebook Groups!

Whilst there, we created a new group for you to join called Convince Me...it's your chance to agree or disagree with a point of view but rather than just saying "you're wrong and you're a...!" you have to put down some really good reasons. If they are good then I may change my mind!

Join the Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/canyouconvinceme/

First question...You must be mad to be a vegan...😲

Many people are bemused at the Facebook Newsfeed - Why do I see this? Why don't I see that? Why does no-one see my Page posts?

Today's episode we use Facebook's guidance notes to explain the Facebook Newsfeed Ranking system and what it means to you AND how you could influence the number of people who see your content in the Newsfeed - all important stuff 😎

So this is what Facebook say...

"We want to show you the posts that you care about"

"Each time you visit Facebook, we try to show you the posts we think you'll find interesting. We prioritize posts that might spark conversations among people, like posts shared by people, Groups or Pages you interact with frequently. We don't always get it right, so we've also built controls to help you manage what you see in your News Feed."- The Facebook Help Team

This is what Facebook say about what you see in your newsfeed..."What influences the order of posts in my News Feed?To help connect people to the posts that matter to them most, we use a process called ranking.

News Feed ranking creates a personalized and diverse stream of posts from the people, news sources, businesses and communities you've connected with on Facebook.What influences ranking

Some things influence ranking more than others, and some of the most important factors include:

Some things have a smaller influence over what you see. We may take into account signals such as how fast your internet connection is right now or what kind of phone you're using (because this can affect how quickly things can load on your News Feed). 

These are just some of the thousands of signals that may be considered for News Feed ranking.Manage what you seeYou can control what you see from your News Feed preferences or check your privacy settings. 

Some of the options for managing what you see in your News Feed include:Select a person or Page to see their Content first. Snooze a person, Page or group. Hide or unfollow posts from people, Pages or groups

To see what influences the order of posts you're seeing in your News Feed:

2 Tap ...in the top right and select Why am I seeing this post?"

Hope you found that useful. 

Cheers for now Nigel, Si and Andy 🎯

PS We will keep you posted about the Facebook event we are going to...!

Pain and Challenges - solving these for your customer at a profit is the basis of your business.

But you need to understand who your customer is what their pains are and how you solve them.

Do you even connect with your customers? Your customers are your business engine, your most powerful asset, your growth tool and yet most businesses ignore connecting with them!

That's madness and it's why we have created our Connxxus system to make connecting you and your customer as easy as 1 2 3.

But what has this got to do with Brexit, Chatbots and Restaurants?

Probably nothing but Nigel T, Si Si and Andy Morrell manage to weave them expertly together and produce another award-winning episode of the Business Profit Club Podcast
