Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast invites Nelly Duprat, his wife and founder of Luscious Letdown, to guest host this week’s Tactical Tuesday episode. Nelly shares how she’s utilizing Facebook Groups to build her Luscious Letdown community and grow her prospect list. She also highlights how she’s leveraging Group Funnels to help with this growth using a Chrome Extension. 

Episode Highlights:

• Episode #62 of Tactical Tuesday provides the background story of how Nelly Duprat started her business Luscious Letdown and why her personal experiences with breastfeeding led her to assist others struggling with this challenge.  
• Nelly talks about the value of building a robust prospect list to grow your business versus only using social media such as Facebook and Instagram.  
• Two ways to collect email addresses are through offering free downloads from your website or through Facebook Groups.  
• Nelly shares the questions she uses for joining her Luscious Letdown Facebook Group. This includes asking for an email address and about their greatest breastfeeding struggle.  
• Nelly chooses to let everyone into her Facebook Group who wants to be there, even if they didn’t provide their email address because at some point they might become a customer.   
• By adding Group Funnels via a Chrome extension, you can approve multiple Facebook group requests at once versus one at a time and they’re automatically downloaded into  a Google Drive spreadsheet.
• Upload your email addresses from the spreadsheet to an email service provider and scale your list size and costs as you grow.   
• Luscious Letdown has been growing daily since it started in December 2019 with almost 500 Facebook Group members.
• Nelly engages daily with her Luscious Letdown Facebook Group Monday through Saturday by providing valuable information to build trust and relationships.  

3 Key Points:

1. Collect email addresses through an opt-in on your website where visitors can download a PDF of free content in exchange for their email address. 
2. Before a member is approved to join your Facebook Group, post questions for them to answer such as what is your email address, how did you hear about us and questions specific to your business. 
3. Upload your Google Drive spreadsheet containing your email addresses to an email service provider like MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit or Kajabi.  

Tweetable Quotes:

• “Collect and create an email list because that’s where your money is - in your email list. That’s where you’re going to sell your product and people buy more from email compared to Facebook or Instagram.” – Nelly Duprat
• “Instead of individually manually approving each member in your group, you can add (Group Funnels) as a Chrome extension...add it to your Chrome and then Group Funnels does the job for you.” – Nelly Duprat
• “When (Facebook Group) members request your approval to get into your group, are you going to let everybody in or the people that answered the questions? – Nelly Duprat

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast talks about how to leverage podcasts to get exposure for your business. He explains three options and the value each provides, which includes sponsoring podcasts, being a guest on podcasts and creating your own podcast. 

Episode Highlights:

• Jason talks about the benefit of podcasts for your business, particularly when it comes to building brand awareness and affinity. 
• One option to leverage podcasts for your business is to sponsor a podcast. 
• By sponsoring a podcast, you affiliate your brand with the show’s content, which is evergreen as podcasts typically don’t have a shelf life.   
• If you do sponsor a podcast, Jason recommends checking to see if there are limits on how long your sponsorship ad will run.  
• Typically, podcast ads cost considerably less than other advertising channels.  
• Another option for leveraging podcasts is to be a guest on a show, which helps people become aware of and familiar with your business. 
• Jason shares that his mentor, John Lee Dumas, recommends appearing on no less than 7-10 podcasts per month as a guest.   
• The third option for engaging with podcasts is to create your own show. 
• If you choose to do your own show and you plan to do more than one episode each week, Jason recommends building a team to help with production and promotion.  
• Most podcasters tend to quit after only 7-10 episodes. 
• If you produce your own show, Jason points out you can repurpose your podcast content on blogs using your shownotes.  

3 Key Points:

1. You can gain exposure to your business by leveraging podcasts. The three options include sponsorship, guest appearances and creating your own show. 
2. Sponsoring a podcast provides an evergreen advertising opportunity with content that can potentially exist forever online.   
3. Starting your own podcast takes a lot of consistency, effort, time, great content and building out a team. 

Tweetable Quotes:

• “Most of the hosts will actually read their own version or whatever you script for them as far as an advertisement, which has actually shown to produce better results than having a professional voiceover artist.” – Jason A. Duprat
• (Appearing as a guest) “Many of them are interview-style podcasts. You're going to share your knowledge, your information, your success, your story, your failures. You’re  going to build brand awareness.” – Jason A. Duprat
• “Most people have hired out a team to write the show notes, to help them write some of the content ideas, to help market the podcast and to help book guests.” – Jason A. Duprat

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast discusses the differences between free, local Meetups and membership-based Masterminds. He talks about his decision to move from forming an Orlando Meetup to considering forming a Mastermind group instead. Jason highlights the takeaways he received from Aaron Walker, a recent guest and Mastermind group leader. He also talks about the value of hosting onsite and virtual Mastermind groups.  

Episode Highlights:

• Jason shares his reasons for canceling his proposed free, local Meetup in the Orlando area.
• He highlights the expertise of recent guest Aaron Walker, a Mastermind group leader and the possibility of Jason training with Aaron on how to execute paid Masterminds. 
• A few of the top qualities of Aaron’s virtual Masterminds includes providing each member with reading content and opportunities to share and respond, as well as sitting in the ‘hot seat.’ 
• In addition to a virtual Mastermind, Jason is exploring the idea of equipping his property to host in-person Masterminds as well. 
• A key attribute for Mastermind groups includes having access to accountability partners to ensure progress and forward momentum.

3 Key Points:

1. Jason decided to cancel his proposed Meetup in Orlando due to a lack of interested individuals, which he attributes, in part, to it being free.   
2. Aaron Walker, who was recently interviewed on the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast, runs 15 national and international mastermind groups, averaging 10-12 people in each group. 
3. Jason is exploring training with Aaron due to his wealth of expertise. In the virtual Mastermind, each member is invited to sit in the ‘hot seat’ to talk about their problems so the group can provide feedback based on their own experiences.  

Tweetable Quotes:

• “The thing we discovered with local Meetups is that, essentially, the quantity of interested persons is pretty limited.” – Jason A. Duprat
• “When people pay, they pay attention and if something is free they sort of just don’t care.” – Jason A. Duprat
• “We have a large 5-acre property and we just ran it by the CPA to see what we could do as far as making an arrangement to get people here once or twice a year as part of the Mastermind experience.” – Jason A. Duprat

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast invites Francis to return as guest host. In this episode, find out how to leverage stellar customer service to elevate your marketing and brand. Discover the three things you must do consistently to provide outstanding customer services and the value of having multiple touch points for customer conversations.   

Episode Highlights:

• Within the healthcare industry, and across many other industries flooded with options, customer service is extremely important to stand out from the competition. 
• Francis shares two major brands that deliver outstanding customer service. One example is Amazon. By offering free two-day delivery, compared to others who charge high rates for a longer delivery time, Amazon has crushed the competition.    
• Another example is Zappos. They enhance customer service by not putting a time limit on phone calls when a customer service representative is speaking to a customer to troubleshoot problems and ensure satisfaction. 
• Customers calling in are important and valuable prospects because they’re taking an extra step to learn more about your product or service offering beyond using the internet.  
• Great customer service experiences provide positive advertising because they generate word-of-mouth. These experiences get customers talking about your business to their family and friends. 
• There are three things Francis recommends you must do to ensure stellar customer service. Answer your phone, provide a solid online or in-person experience and follow up. 
•  If you encounter a negative customer experience, apologize. Listen to the complaint, provide empathy and ask what you can do to make it right.  

3 Key Points:

1. Answering your phones when they ring is a strong way to deliver great customer service because those customers are seeking immediate answers to their questions.   
2. Having a process and system in place helps you greet customers properly when they enter your business and allows you to get to know your regular customers better.  
3. Following up with customers after you’ve provided a product or service is a point of differentiation. Some examples include sending a thank you note or an email to check in to ensure their experience with your brand was positive.

Tweetable Quotes:

• “One of the biggest ways you can differentiate yourself and get a lot more people coming in talking about you is by providing really, really good customer service.” – Francis Waldecker
• “I know you don’t really think of Amazon as customer service. But, think about their two-day shipping. What better customer service could you give than getting people their online orders quicker and faster?” – Francis Waldecker
• “The number one way I see most businesses falling short is not answering their phones.” – Francis Waldecker

Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast shares his advice regarding executive assistants and virtual assistants. He clarifies the differences between the two roles, how you should source either role and how both can help you amp up your business productivity and output.

Episode Highlights:

• Jason explains the difference between an executive assistant (EA) and a virtual assistant (VA).  
• VAs handle tasks that are more tactical versus strategic. Tasks are repetitive in nature and don’t take too much time away from revenue-generating initiatives. 
• VAs are less expensive to hire than executive assistants.  
• Jason elaborates on the types of jobs a VA would do for a business.   
• Consider offering a competitive salary to secure a good EA.  
• Jason highlights the types of tasks you should pass off to an EA.   
• VAs and EAs increase productivity and output. 
• Should your VA or EA be local or remote? 
• How do you go about posting a job for a VA or EA for your business?  
• Jason shares a few online tools for sharing passwords, posting jobs and automating the interview process.  

3 Key Points:

1. VAs are more focused on repetitive tasks that don’t necessarily require a higher strategic level of expertise and can be hired at about $7 or $8 an hour.   
2. You can pay an EA anywhere from $13 an hour, all the way up to $30, $40 or $50 an hour depending on where they’re located - either in the US or internationally.  
3. You can source a quality EA online in the US, Europe, the Middle East, India and Pakistan. Make sure to test their English language skills via a phone call or video chat.  

Tweetable Quotes:

• “A VA tends to do more tasks that don’t require a lot of thought processes. It’s very tasky. So, maybe like transferring data into spreadsheets or uploading a spreadsheet to your email hosting software.” – Jason Duprat
• “64% of Phillipinos speak English, and really good English. So, that’s a place to hire somebody online who works remotely, speaks English, and doesn’t cost a fortune.” – Jason Duprat
• “An executive assistant essentially is going to take tasks off your plate. They’re sort of a replica of you. They’re going to learn how you’d respond to something and they’re going to be able to use high-level thinking.” – Jason Duprat
