⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝘁 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝘆 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲" ~ 𝗝𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗛𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘆 Did you know search engines use keywords inside your reviews to help potential customers find your business? For instance, if you're a general contractor ask your customers to leave these keywords in their review… · Kitchen Remodel · Bathroom Renovation · Basement Finishing · Deck Construction · Home Addition If you’re a larger GC, use the keywords Commercial or Industrial. Be specific: Use locations such as Alpharetta, Ga or North Fulton County, Ga. 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝘂𝘀: Include the contractor's name in the review. This will help potential customers find the review when searching for that contractor specifically. 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Ask clients to talk about life before working with you and after your contracting work transformed their lives. Leaving reviews with this information helps local SEO tremendously, and you’ll be ranking above your competitors in no time.

How your clients perceive you just might be the key that unlocks the door to exponential sales growth. Feedback from your clients become the vitamins and minerals needed to build a meaningful relationship. The perception your clients have of you is mission critical for driving exponential sales growth. Understanding and managing client perception can significantly impact your sales success. Your client's perception embodies the opinions, feelings, and beliefs they form about you based on their interactions with you. Plain and simple. Will you commit to taking massive action and put in the necessary time, energy, and heart to better understand your clients perception? Henry Ford once said, "The secret of success is to understand the viewpoint of others. #sellingfromtheheart #sellinginaposttrustworld

Ya know that Q4 pipeline lift you’re looking for? It’s hidden within your website. Wanna learn how? Last Thursday, I delivered a keynote to a room full of business owners and seasoned business development professionals: “Is Your Website Working For, or Against, You?” Small businesses. Medium businesses. Large businesses. Know what they all had in common? 1️⃣  They had no idea website laws and algorithms changed significantly 2️⃣  They didn’t realize their site wasn’t compliant: accessibility & cookie policy 3️⃣ They didn’t understand why inbound was dropping in quality & quantity Their website feels like Milton from Office Space, without the red stapler. In some cases, the solution is relatively simple. I’ll provide some recommendations for a DIY fix for their team, along with links to plug-ins to bring the site compliant. Many times, they’re aware the website is an afterthought, and they’ll engage us to fix or rebuild their site. Into a sales machine. Either way, I want them to fix it. Accessibility fines from the Department of Justice can be steep. I’ll save you the Google search: They start at $75,000. And, most cases have settled out of court for upwards of $100k. The plug-ins cost $750 a year. Want me to check your accessibility, compliance, deliverability, and website performance scores for free? All you have to do is let me know in the comments below. Life is a Team Sport. Choose your teammates wisely. #bekinetic
