"How do I target my audience without coming across as salesy?" The intention is already revealed in the question. You intend is to sell. Otherwise, the question could have been: "How do I give value to my audience?" For me, social media is a long game. So, ask yourself: are you on social media to give value to your audience, or is it a covert advertising tactic where you expect to gain clients? You know people can smell your intention from miles away. Here are 6 steps to follow if you want to provide value and build relationships: 1. Get a clear idea of your ideal customers. 2. Create a detailed customer persona. 3. Find out where they hang out. 4. Meet them where they are and produce content that solves the problems they have. 5. Focus on addressing their pain points, not showcasing your work. Make it about THEM, not YOU. 6. Look at your competition and the content they produce, then do the opposite. If you follow this, you will add value to your ideal clients instead of being part of the noise on social media! This post was inspired by takeaways from tonight's LinkedIn call "Get More Customers: From Outreach to Outcome" with Chris Do and Carlos M. Garcia. Thank you my friends for always giving value in your content. What is you intention with creating content? Please share in the comments. #sales #marketing

My objective is to build momentum. During this time, I am focused only on those activities related to growing my business. ☎ It could be prospecting 💪 Leveraging LinkedIn 🤝 Networking 😁 Meeting face-to-face Lately, I have zigged and zagged from activity to activity during this time, which has impaired my productivity. Just like the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, being as linear as possible (aka) intentional is a key to business development productivity. I know I had to devise a solution to straighten out my business development activities. No more a little of "this" and a little of "that." So, here is what I did to correct my inefficiency. 👉 𝐈 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐞. This is a list of all of the activities I can do to promote my business. It has been revolutionary. Now, when I enter the zone I have blocked off on my calendar for business development, I know exactly what I am going to do. My momentum has skyrocketed. At the end of the day, I also feel good about what I did because I know I have followed the proven routine I have executed for years, enabling me to build an awesome coaching business.

𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘀 ❌ We hear this a lot in the 10x10x10 video package. I coach clients on how to write the scripts using my connection system whether they're for your website, ads, social media, blog or even for outreach on LinkedIn. But if you don't have time. Or you're not a writer. We have an option where we'll write your scripts for you for a small fee. 35% of our customers choose this option. Our copywriter is very good at getting from you what you want to communicate, in your brand persona so you get the results you want. More clients, more engagement, more leads. So you can focus on what you do best. Choose this option and you can film on 26 September in Auckland. 2 spots left.

Coaches, I don't overload myself with work. I prefer to concentrate on a few tasks at a time. so you can do that as well. Many Coaches find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities such as: - Content creation - Profile optimization - Lead generation Often, they tend to handle all these tasks single-handedly. But why? Is it to save money? If so, that's understandable. But let's consider the mindset you're operating with: 1. I will handle everything on my own. 2. I will focus on my business and let someone else - someone like Vismay - handle the rest. If you resonate with the latter approach, you're very welcome here. I specialize in what I'm good at, and I encourage you to do the same. I only work with clients where I feel I can add substantial value. The clients I work best with are those who are serious about harnessing the power of LinkedIn. PS - Where do you place your emphasis? On quality of work or quantity? PPS - If you're a coach and this appeals to you, you're most welcome! Simply schedule a meeting using the link in my bio.

𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐁𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐬: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 “𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧”: 𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 In the quest for business growth, the allure of new leads can sometimes overshadow the goldmine we already possess. As a business coach, I guide my clients to shift their focus from endless lead generation to the art of conversion; i.e focusing on their conversion rates. Conversion rate is essentially the percentage of prospects who buy your product or service out of the total of all the proposals or offers you send out to all the leads. Here's why increasing conversion rates of existing leads is a game-changer and how you can implement this strategy: 1. Provide Written Guarantees Build Trust: Offering written guarantees reduces the perceived risk for potential customers, making them more likely to convert. Assurance: A clear guarantee shows confidence in your product or service, which can reassure hesitant leads. 2. Define Your Uniqueness (USP) Stand Out: Clearly articulate what makes your business unique to help potential customers understand why they should choose you over competitors. Targeted Messaging: Ensure your unique selling proposition (USP) is prominent in all your marketing materials to attract the right audience. 3. Flowchart Your Sales Process Clarity and Consistency: Visualize each step of your sales process to identify and eliminate any bottlenecks or inefficiencies, and ensure your team follows a consistent and optimized process. Training: Train your sales team thoroughly on the process to ensure they understand each step and can execute it flawlessly, enhancing their ability to convert leads effectively. 4. Provide Testimonials Social Proof: Showcase success stories and positive feedback from existing customers to build credibility and trust with new leads. Relatability: Use testimonials that potential customers can relate to, showing them real-world results and experiences. 5. Improve Product Offerings Tailored Solutions: Continuously refine and enhance your products or services based on customer feedback to better meet their needs. Incentives: Offer exclusive deals, upgrades, or bonuses to create urgency and incentivize conversions. By focusing on these strategies, you can turn your existing leads into loyal customers, driving sustainable growth and creating a more efficient and effective sales process. Remember, it's not just about attracting more leads, but about converting the ones you already have. Let's shift the paradigm from quantity to quality, from chasing leads to nurturing relationships. Together, we can transform your business by unlocking the full potential of your existing leads! #BusinessGrowth #StartUpSuccess #BusinessTips #SanjayKanakia #BusinessCoach #ActionCoach

Hey Coaches, you can use ChatGPT to write content. I would say there isn't that much of a big  the difference in the look of the content, but there is a major difference in the result. If the same content is written by a ghostwriter using ChatGPT,  then there will also be a difference. Not that ChatGPT is smart,  but the ghostwriter is, that's why.😎 Why do you need a Ghostwriter? → Haha, who knew that GPT  content would generate leads? → If you want to post, then that's fine. But if you want quality posts, then you need a ghostwriter. → Personalized strategy. I would suggest not just thinking,  but trying ChatGPT content and  then come to us. You will notice the difference. PS - Hey Linkedin Mate  do you want to add anything? PS - do you want someone who can handle everything and then just book the meeting? https://lnkd.in/dJHksJ_M

How to get more engagement on your posts. 𝟭𝟬 𝗧𝗜𝗣𝗦: 1. Figure out the target AUDIENCE you are writing to.    - This is one I struggle with     2. Share INSIGHTS that only you can provide.    - If someone else can write your post, write it again     3. If possible, post at the same TIME each day.    - Tell people when you post     4. Always include a VISUAL in each post.    - A selfie works best    - Followed by a more formal picture    - Or a screenshot 5. ENGAGE before and after you post.    - It doesn't have to be for hours    - But it should be at least 15-20 minutes    - Before AND After you post    - Make sure to reply to comments    - On your post as soon as they appear    - TAG the creator or the commenter    - In all of your comments 6. HOOKS that get people's attention.    - I like to ask questions    - Others like to use I statements    - Do what works for you 7. FORMATTING is essential.    - Use lots of white space    - Avoid chunky paragraphs    - Make it easy to read, especially on mobile devices    - 70% of people view your post on their phones    - ALSO, Skip hashtags. They are irrelevant 8. Ideally, post in the 7:30 a.m.—9:30 a.m. EST window.    - This is PRIME TIME for LI 9. Tell STORIES.    - Not in every post    - But mix in personal, career, and life stories    - So people start to get to know you    - As more than just your avatar 10. Utilize DATA and analyze your post performance.    - You can pay for third-party services    - Or use Google Sheets or Excel    - I may know someone who built an Excel tracker 📌 If you want help creating better content and aren't sure where to start, let's chat. DM me "𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗧" or book a call in my featured section. What else would you add? 𝗣.𝗦. I post on M-W-F at 8:30 a.m. EST
