    Business - Understanding The Value of a Client

    Business - Understanding The Value of a Client

    In this episode, Joel and Andy talk about understanding the true value of a customer. Without knowing the current lifetime value of your clients, it's impossible to know what you should be spending on marketing to acquire new ones. 

    Joel and Andy explain, in detail, how to calculate the true value of your clients and work out the effectiveness of each ad campaign. Thus, ensuring the percentage of your profits you invest in marketing generates a high rate of return.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Most owners have no clue what the lifetime value of their customers is, so don´t know how much they can safely spend to acquire new clients.
    • Understanding how well your ads convert is essential. How you do this is explained in the episode.
    • Advertising is an investment. It can easily take months for a campaign to break even.
    • If you want a profitable, scalable business you have to spend a significant percentage of your profit on advertising.
    • Relying on word of mouth to bring in new clients means you can´t scale.
    • Once you have a customer, invest in keeping them. Joel and Andy explain how.
    • If you want a scalable business, you can´t continue to simply hustle your way through.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Businesses don´t grow on hunches.’

    ‘Embed yourself in their life.’

    ‘What about the clients you've already got? When do they get sent a voucher or a phone call.’

    Marketing - Starting The Conversation With Ads

    Marketing - Starting The Conversation With Ads

    For this episode, Joel, and Andy sit down to talk about how to start the conversation using ads. Taking them straight from seeing your ad to speaking to them via a DM, which most of them now prefer over talking on the phone. Joel and Andy explain how to crunch the numbers and scale at a pace that suits your business.

    Using examples, they show you how to close the sale via a DM.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • On the Meta platform, it is now possible to drive people from an ad straight into a DM conversation.
    • Messenger ads can be used in conjunction with other platforms.
    • The more conversational your ad is the more likely it is that the DM conversation will be fruitful.
    • People are increasingly uncomfortable with being cold called.
    • The telephone is not dead, but it is dying. More conversations are starting online.
    • You can use bots, but most of the time real DM conversations work best.
    • Reply to all DMs quickly. Joel and Andy explain how. Including when and how to use voice notes.
    • You mustn´t come across as desperate for the sale.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘You´ll find that the DMs that come in off the back of that are far more primed to a non-cold call conversation. ´

    ‘People want to DM first, they don´t want to speak on the phone.’

    ‘You´ve got to ask for the sales.’

    Marketing - Websites Are Not Dead

    Marketing - Websites Are Not Dead

    For this episode, Joel and Andy explain why websites are not dead, despite the availability of Facebook and other social media platforms. They discuss how to work out what you want your website to achieve and get the right style of site built.

    Joel and Andy cover ensuring that the customer understands what you offer, and what makes you stand out, as well as provide the information they need to decide to buy.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Any business looking for growth needs a website. Social media is rarely enough.
    • You need to understand what you want your website to do for your business.
    • People are taking longer to decide to spend. They want to know they can trust you, something that your website really helps with.
    • Getting a potential customer to visit your site is only step one.
    • Even if what you are offering is free, your website still has to be structured to sell it to someone. They will still want their questions and concerns answered.
    • Capture visitors’ details and use that information.
    • A website has got to look professional. 
    • Building a website is hugely time-consuming and a steep learning curve. Usually, it is better to pay someone else to build it for you.
    • Getting it to rank also takes a lot of time, effort and, often, money.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘People seem to be surprised that websites are still important in this day of Facebook and stuff. ´

    ‘A website doesn´t have to be massive and complicated.’

    ‘It´s still got to provide a tip-top user experience.’

    Business - Looking After Your Leads

    Business - Looking After Your Leads

    In this episode, Andy and Joel talk about looking after your leads, which is the best way to turn them into sales and profits. But this takes work because 50% of sales are made after the 5th follow-up. That is why it is vital to nurture your leads in the right way, which is exactly what this episode covers.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Most businesses collect leads but never talk to them. Unsurprisingly, the majority of those leads never buy.
    • Even if your ad targeting is spot on, you still won´t be able to get 100% of your leads to buy.
    • How much it takes to turn a lead into a sale depends on your sector and market.
    • Transition your leads from your database to a direct message conversation using social media.
    • Use mobile numbers and other contact details ethically.
    • Provide value. It’s the best way to open up the chance to have conversations with potential customers.

    Marketing - Why Most Websites Are S__t

    Marketing - Why Most Websites Are S__t

    In this episode, Joel and Andy explain why most business websites are s__t. Many look pretty but do nothing for the businesses that own them. Joel and Andy explain how to make sure your website enables potential buyers to understand how you can help, capture leads, and tell you more about your customers while generating more sales. They cover, design, being mobile-friendly, targeting your customer avatar, click-baiting, leveraging pain stacking and more.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • Most websites are s__t because they don´t work. 
    • The web designer needs to understand what the business objective of the website is e.g. generating leads, capturing data, or enabling people to buy online.
    • First impressions count. Business websites have to make it easy for visitors as well as look good.
    • Most searches are mobile, so your site must look good on a phone.
    • Blogging on a business site is all about providing value for customers.
    • Write for the customer. For example, you know how your services can benefit them, but they don´t, you need to lay this out for them in language they can understand.
    • If you are good say so and explain why. Explain what it is that you offer compared to a typical accountant, trainer etc.
    • Review and update your site regularly.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Simplicity and clarity in all aspects of your marketing are going to be even more important in 2024. ´

    ‘An about page is the 2nd highest viewed page on a website, so please do use it.’

    ‘You´ve got to know your customer.’

    Mindset - Success is on the Other Side of Discomfort

    Mindset - Success is on the Other Side of Discomfort

    In this episode, Joel explains why success is on the other side of discomfort. Sharing why there is no avoiding these periods of discomfort, and how to manage them so that you benefit the most from them rather than becoming overwhelmed.

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • You have to push yourself to do things that make you feel uncomfortable to be successful. It is unavoidable.
    • Periods of success are always followed by a plateau, where you feel a bit stuck and start to doubt yourself. That type of discomfort is a part of growth.
    • You need to address the discomfort, stress, and anxiety you are experiencing.
    • You always need to have your why in mind, the reason you are putting yourself through discomfort.
    • Accepting discomfort is important, but you must be careful not to push yourself too hard.
    • Everyone has limiting beliefs, addressing them always leads to growth.
    • It´s okay to fail, just make sure you fail quickly, then, continue moving forward.

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I don't think I've ever achieved anything in business or life, that hasn't come through an element of discomfort. ´

    ‘News flash, business is really f**ing hard and it doesn’t get easier.’

    ‘If you don´t do the reps, which hurt, you won't get the success on the other side.’

    ‘Don´t mistake discomfort for failure.’
