The Simply Marketing Show

How to detox your diary and make more time

 

How often do you wish you had more time? If only you had more hours in the day you could finally cross off that to-do list, start that new website project, organise your admin. But here's the thing – spoiler alert – it's not about creating more time, it's about managing your time!

 

In today's Simply Marketing show, I speak to time management rebel, Paul Holbrook, who has codified time to make it easier for you to plan your hours. He has created a 5-step method – The Diary Detox – that will revolutionise your time management.

 

By using a simple system of colours, you'll be able to see at a glance what's taking up space in your diary. You'll see where you waste time and where you can allocate your time more efficiently. It's super simple but it's life-changing.

 

Listen to today's show and find out how you can claim back up to one day a week, just by detoxing your diary!

 

 You need to detox your diary if you:

 

• Find you're spending time on stuff you don't need to
• Your to-do list is never getting any shorter
• You don't have time to market your business or manage your staff
• You never think about what you're putting in your diary
• You often find yourself saying 'I just don't have time!'

 

What you will learn:

 

• How to focus and plan your time productively
• How to colour code your time according to its usefulness
• How to stop giving away your time without thinking
• Being clear about your purpose and how to get there
• 5 steps to putting the Diary Detox into practice

Could you add a membership to your business?

 

When we talk about adding a  membership, what do you think of? The obvious ones are gym memberships, but chances are you are already in several memberships without even realising it – Netflix, Amazon Prime, these are membership models that rely on monthly payments from their audiences.

You'll discover that adding a membership to your business is something that can grow organically. You will also learn what elements need to be in place before you begin. Most of all, we'll discuss how to make your membership profitable.

How to raise your prices and not feel bad

 

If you find it difficult to talk about money, today's show is for you. It can be all too easy to under-price your products and services, but rather than being perceived as value for money, this can ultimately put people off buying from you. That's because the price you charge directly reflects the value customers think they will get from you. The lower your price, the more you devalue what you are worth.

 

More than ever, it is so important that you believe in yourself and that you know how good you really are. In today's podcast, I talk you through how to put a realistic and proper value on the services you are providing. I show you how to be brave so that you no longer feel afraid to charge clients the right price.

 

I will also show you 10 different ways that will make it easier for you to increase your prices. By following these 10 top tips, you will feel confident enough to charge more for the products or services you offer. It's all in today's show…

 

5 steps to increase your value:

 

• Offer progress – how to price your customer journey
• Grow your brand – why this is the best way to increase demand
• Stay relevant – show you are culturally relevant to your market
• Get the right people on the bus – why it helps to be part of a team
• Bonus stacking – how to add value without effort

 

Listen now for more ways to add value to your brand so you can increase your prices with confidence this year…

 

And if you want to learn more about how to price your products and services, listen to Episode 77 - how to approach your pricing after lockdown, and Episode 63 - how to sell without being salesy with Victoria Flemming.

 

As always, you can also connect with me to discuss more about your pricing structure. Get in touch on Clubhouse, Linked In, Facebook or email me at [email protected].

Stop procrastinating: eat that frog! Top tips to help you keep moving your business forward

 

Procrastination is all about putting things off and there's not anybody I know who doesn't do it! But, if you want to move your business forward, it's a habit you really need to get control of.

Frogs are those tasks that we find daunting – the big things that we know will take up our time, our money, our commitment. That might be overhauling your website, starting an email campaign, developing new products and services or setting new goals – unfortunately, by their very nature they are also usually the same things that are holding your business back.

In today's podcast, I show you how to figuratively eat those frogs for breakfast. How to tackle those big jobs so you can then get on with all the other elements to running your business.

We all know that it's best to get the worst jobs out of the way first, so, no more procrastinating – listen to my podcast now to find out how you can move your business forward – today!

 

Tips you'll learn to help you stop procrastinating:

 

• Love that list – why the first step is to clear your mind
• Find your frogs – how to identify your personal blockers
• Make a date – what doesn't get scheduled doesn't get done
• Keep at it – let the sense of achievement drive you on

 

If there's a particular frog you've been avoiding for some time, I'd love to hear from you!

How to use Pinterest to market a service business

 

If I told you that there is a marketing tool out there that gives you free access to over 400 million users a month, you'd sign up straight away, right? Well, drum roll… there is – Pinterest.

 

I know Pinterest may be at the bottom of the social media marketing pile for many of you, but there are lots of very good reasons why you should take another look at Pinterest to market your services this year.

 

The first thing to understand is that Pinterest isn't actually a social media platform – it is a search engine. That means it has the potential to drive huge numbers of potential new clients to your website every single day. And, because this isn't social media, you don't even have to interact with any of them!

 

In this podcast, Pinterest coach Jen Stanbrook explains how she regularly used Pinterest to drive up to 150,000 new people to her website every month. Listen now for her tips on how to create the right Pin design and messaging to market your service and why you need to make Pinterest part of your marketing strategy for 2021…

 

What we discuss:

 

• Why Pinterest works so well for a service-based business
• How to drive new clients to your website using Pinterest
• The best way to get people to click on your Pins
• The Pin to Purchase journey – how to instantly tell customers what you can offer them and what you want them to do
• How to make Pinterest part of your marketing strategy alongside your other marketing tools

 

What you will learn:

 

• How to create an eye-catching Pin that will get you noticed
• Tips on getting the right Pin messaging to talk to your ideal customer
• How to Pin with confidence to market your services
• Tips on creating and repurposing content to post Pins with consistency

How to get your marketing motivation back

 

If you're struggling to find your marketing mojo, here are 3 ways to help inspire you…

 

It's January and we're in lockdown – again. Like me, you're probably full of sugar after the Christmas binge and your motivation is at rock bottom. It's normal. But you can't afford to let it stay there. You have to actively pull yourself together and get on with the all-important job of marketing your business. And in today's podcast, I give you 3 easy ways to get your marketing motivation back.

 

The important thing is to jump on January quickly so that all the hard work you put in before Christmas doesn't get eaten up with procrastination and demotivation. The good news is that it doesn't take much to start that snowball rolling – listen to my three top tips now on how to be more motivated in your marketing and you'll soon start to feel the lethargy rise. Before you know it, you'll be able to reboot and feel inspired once again to move your business forward…

 

The 3 new year resolutions you should be making now to get your marketing back on track:

 

1. Reset the marketing agenda to kickstart the year
2. Work out money goals and don't be afraid of them
3. Make time to grow by reading, watching, or listening to inspiring entrepreneurs

 

January can be such a hard time of year if you're a business owner. If you're feeling a bit demotivated, please do get in touch – email me at [email protected], join my FaceBook Group, or find me on Linked In.

 

I really encourage you to reach out to me because we can all inspire each other to move forwards with our marketing. And I know you can do some amazing things in your business in 2021…
