Webinar Notes

Lead Capture and Nurturing Systems!

Why Do I Need An Automated Follow Up System?

Three Challenges With Manual Systems

  1. Can’t read the handwritten Info
  2. Run out of time for follow up
  3. No additional follow up after the 1st contact

80% of Sales are Made somewhere between the 5th and 20th touch!

But!

Most sales reps only reach out between 1-3 times

Effective Lead Follow Up Systems Become Critical…

Not Just Nice To Have

Companies that nurture leads make 50% more sales at a cost 33% less than non-nurtured leads.
(Forrester Research)

Ok … I get it!

How do I follow up?

I don’t have time to make phone calls all day!

Email and Text Messaging

SMS / text message marketing, can be highly effective.

Why Email and SMS Work Better Together

  • Email and SMS marketing can work together to create a powerful customer experience that leads to lifelong advocates.
  • You can create personalized messages that leverage both tools

  • Emails deliver more details and specifics, and may include graphics, video links, etc.
  • SMS will be short to the point reminders, single item messages, information updates, etc.

5 Reasons To Combine Email And SMS

  1. It’s Effective At Getting Your Messages Read

Webinar Notes

“Creating a Positive, Engaging Team Culture”

  • What is a positive, engaging team culture?
  • Why is it important to have a positive, engaging team culture?
  • What are the elements of a positive, engaging team culture?
  • Defining the position, responsibilities and expectations
  • Hiring well
  • Onboarding well
  • Managing and Communicating
  • Checking in, tracking performance against expectations
  • Handling closure and transition gracefully

What is a Company Culture?

  • A company is said to have a positive culture if its existing norms, values and systems facilitate its growth and development as well as a healthy relationship between its staff and management.
  • A positive company culture affords employees respect while expecting quality work every day, it encourages collaboration and trust between the employees and management.
  • A company is not an aggregate of its employees and management. It is a fully functional organism on its own.
  • Company culture is intrinsic to the company; employees do not influence the company’s culture.
  • Company culture is more implied than official; it is the unwritten codes of conduct that determine whether or not an employee tells her boss of her new ideas or the problems she encounters in the course of her job.

Creating a Company Culture

A company’s culture is formed 2 different ways:

  1. An active process where management takes the initiative and creates the culture.
  2. A passive process where the culture is left to chance.

What is a Positive, Engaging Team Culture?

  • A positive team culture will develop as team members approach individual responsibility in a manner that ensures a positive result for everyone else on the team.
  • As a leader, you model this behavior when you include the team, or individual members in decisions that affect them, which then leads to employees feeling passionate about their jobs, committed to the organization, and put discretionary effort into their work.

Why is it important to have a positive, engaging team culture?

In a recent survey of more than 1,400 US CEOs, over 90% of them agreed that culture was important in their company and that they believe that improving their company’s culture would improve its value. Furthermore, more than 50% of respondents said that positive company culture contributes to productivity, creativity and overall growth rates.

Where do you begin?

Grow off your current culture:

  1. Building a positive corporate culture doesn’t mean employers should completely scrap everything their company currently stands for.
  2. Rather than expecting employees to do a complete 180, employers should work on enhancing the current culture they have.
  3. Ask employees what they do and don’t like about their current culture and work environment.
  4. Leaders should use these suggestions to help create a positive corporate culture that’s appropriate for their workforce.
  5. Taking these steps helps build a positive corporate culture.

Further nurture your growing team culture:

  1. Create Goals: No organization can have corporate culture without clear goals in place. Employers should gather with their team to create goals and objectives that everyone can work towards. Creating a company goal brings employees together and gives everyone something specific to work towards–other than a paycheck.
  2. Encourage Positivity: In order to build a positive culture, employers need to start by encouraging positivity in the workplace. It’s essential to promote positivity on a daily basis. Employers should lead by example by expressing gratitude, smiling often and remaining optimistic during difficult situations. Employees are much more likely to engage in positive behavior when they see their employers doing so.
  3. Emphasize Employee Wellness: No organization can expect to foster a positive culture without healthy employees. Employees need to feel their best – physically, mentally and emotionally – in order to contribute to a positive culture. In many ways, employee wellness is a foundation for a positive corporate culture. Leaders should ensure that employees have the resources, tools and on – site healthcare opportunities they need to live their healthiest life – inside and outside of the office.
  4. Create an environment of trust and foster social connections: Workplace relationships are an essential element to a positive company culture. When employees barely know their colleagues and rarely interact, there’s no possible way for a strong culture to grow. Leaders need to provide employees with opportunities for social interactions in the workplace. Consider weekly team meals, happy hour excursions or even a book club to get things started.

Benefits of a healthy and positive culture

  • Financial Benefits: At the economic level, a well – developed culture brings dramatic, sustained increases in productivity and performance. This is no surprise given that psychologists estimate that the average employee contributes only 20% of their potential.
  • Recruiting: A well – developed company culture, clearly stated in promotional materials, is a powerful recruiting point. Companies with an open, participative workplace, where people enjoy working and have broad opportunities for growth and creativity, attract top candidates. One of the measures of an excellent work culture is that existing employees urge their friends to join.
  • Better Employee Engagement: When employees are happy in a positive workplace, they work harder, are more focused, and are more engaged in the work they need to do. When employees are unhappy, stressed, or exposed to a negative workplace environment, they tend to disengage, which negatively impacts productivity and the bottom line.
  • Greater Loyalty: When a positive workplace culture is fostered, employees are happier, more committed to their employer, and more loyal. Reduced turnover in the workplace is good for everyone, not the least of which the business, which doesn’t have to endure the time and expense of hiring and training new workers.
  • Fewer Absences: Remember the first benefit we discussed, better health? Healthier employees are less likely to be absent from work, which can cost employers a significant amount of money in terms of productivity lost.

What can affect your culture negatively and how to avoid negative impact?

  1. Toxic employees: Too much competition and a toxic work environment lead to a decrease in knowledge sharing, an increase in company politics and a transfer of destructive norms.
  2. Focus on profit: A combined Columbia and Duke University study, found that a focus on figures over people can encourage unethical behavior. Shiva Rajgopal of Columbia University explained, “Our research provides systematic evidence — perhaps for the first time — that effective cultures are less likely to be associated with short – termism, unethical behavior or earnings management to pad quarterly earnings.
  3. Poor communication: Companies must ensure leaders at all levels communicate values, vision, norms, goals and major changes effectively and regularly so that employees fully understand the processes taking place.
  4. Resistance to Change: Phrases such as “we always do things this way,” “that won’t work here” and “it’s not my problem” hinder progress.

How does Negative Culture Affect Your Retention with Your Organization and How to Mitigate it?

  • Nothing affects employee morale more insidiously than persistent workplace negativity. It saps the energy of your organization and diverts critical attention from work and performance.
  • Negativity can occur in the attitude, outlook, and talk of one department member, or in a crescendo of voices responding to a workplace decision or event.
  • Although most dissatisfied employees will remain in the company for a steady paycheck, there are times where the toxicity becomes unbearable and they decide to try out their chances elsewhere

Elements of a Healthy Company Culture

  1. Communication: The way executives communicate with employees — and the way employees talk to each other is a crucial aspect of your culture.
  2. Incentives, Rewards and recognition: Reward the behavior you want to see. Celebrate behaviors that support and reinforce your culture and values and promote employees who believe in the culture.
  3. Legends and lore: It’s important to share stories about how the company started or where it came from, as they help employees feel a part of something bigger than just themselves.
  4. Practices: Of course, values are of little importance unless they are enshrined in a company’s practices. If an organization professes, “people are our greatest asset,” it should also be ready to invest in people in visible ways.

Finding the “RIGHT” Fit!!

How to Define Roles and Responsibilities and Expectations

Steps to Defining the Positions, Responsibilities and Expectations of the Company

  1. Look at what you have, and what you need: The first thing that management should do is conduct an organizational audit. One simple way of doing this is to make a list of all the existing staff or employees of the company. Next, create another list, this time enumerating the roles and tasks that are performed in the business operations.
  2. Pay attention to the position description of each position in your organization: Think of the position description as your guide or map, for both the management and the employee to know the direction that they will be taking in their attempt to attain the goals of the organization. The elements of the position description includes: Job description, roles and responsibility, skill set required, experience and educational requirement and performance management and indicators.
  3. Prepare a final organizational chart: Once the roles and responsibilities of each member of the organization has been clearly defined, it is a good idea to create a final organizational chart, which will also define the relationships between and among all the departments, teams and individuals within the organization. Simply by looking at the chart, the employees will know who they should report to, and with whom they are expected to work or collaborate with.
  4. Communicate the roles and responsibilities to the employees: There is no point in defining the roles and responsibilities if the employees are not made aware of them. Each employee should be clearly made aware of what is expected of him or her. This can be done through various communication methods, such as direct conversations with the concerned employees, group workshops and trainings and other similar activities.

Defining Staff Position, Responsibilities and Expectations

Here are a few reasons why you should define the positions, responsibilities and expectations of your staff:

  • Hiring the right People for the Job: From the beginning, having clearly defined roles will enable management to identify the type of people the company needs, so they can proceed to finding and hiring suitable candidates for the job.
  • Improved Collaboration between and among team members: If each employee’s role and responsibilities are defined clearly, collaboration and division of work becomes easy.
  • Efficiency: Finding a good fit or match between jobs and people will lessen and even eliminate errors and mistakes and improve quality of work.

Hiring Well

Hiring

  1. Define the Job Before Hiring an Employee: Different roles in a company require different skill set and personalities. Before going into the hiring process, you must conduct a job analysis which involves collecting information about the duties, responsibilities, necessary skills and expectations of a particular job. This way, your search for the right candidate is streamlined to finding the person who matches the job description; this will simplify things for you.
  2. Plan your Employee Recruitment Strategy: With the job description in hand, set up a recruiting planning meeting that involves the key employees who are hiring the new employee. The hiring manager is crucial to the planning. At this meeting, your recruiting strategy is planned and the execution begins.
  3. Use a Checklist for Hiring an Employee: This checklist for hiring an employee will help you systematize your process for hiring an employee. This will help you keep in track of your recruiting efforts.
  4. Check Backgrounds and References When Hiring an Employee: Effective background checks are one of the most important steps when hiring an employee. You need to verify that all the presented, sterling credentials, skills, and experience are actually possessed by your candidate.
  5. Review Credentials and Applications Carefully: Next, you’ll screen all applicants against your list of qualifications, skills, experience, and characteristics. This streamlines the process and ensures that your time is spent on the most eligible candidates.

On-boarding Well

On-boarding refers to the process of orienting new employees in a manner that aids in overall retention. It goes beyond conventional orientation. This process involves getting employees acclimated to their new workplace.

Start Onboarding before Day One

  • This one sounds like a no-brainer, but you’d be surprised at how many companies wait until the last minute—or the day of—to start onboarding a new hire. The fact is, the sooner you begin, the more up to speed your new employee will be before he or she starts.
  • Also, the time before a new hire starts is prime to begin the dreaded paperwork process. No one wants to spend their first few hours, or days, sitting in HR working their way through a mountain of forms, so send them important documents such as employee handbooks, I-9s, payroll forms, and non-disclosure agreements beforehand.

Take a Community Approach

  • Pairing up your new hire with a seasoned employee to teach them the ropes is a tried-and-true method, but maybe it’s time to try a collaborative approach, which builds rapport with other teams much faster than one-on-one onboarding.
  • It’s a challenge for any one department to know the answer to every question to arise during onboarding, so it makes sense to rely on each team for their area of expertise

Set Expectations and Goals Early

Setting goals and communicating them at the outset allows new hires to evaluate their own progress during their first few months. A formal performance review will help keep new employees on target, and allow for any course correction early on.

Communication & Culture

Management and Communication

Effective business communication is a two-way process of listening and speaking, and it’s of foremost importance in all phases of daily business life at your middle market company.

  1. Eliminate assumptions: Many business relationships have unspoken rules with assumptions at their core. This might work for a while, but it’s better for all sides to openly communicate needs and expectations.
  2. Find a good place and time for all involved to talk: Communication won’t work when one party is distracted. Find a quiet place and, if the communication is difficult, make sure you have privacy.
  3. Have an “open door” policy: Having real dialogue with managers and CEOs is one of the biggest communication obstacles employees face. They may feel apprehensive about sharing important thoughts with the boss, and as a result, block the flow of effective communication.
  4. Be patient: Communication is so important—and so hard. It doesn’t eliminate differences, but it does allow for them. Ultimately, good business communication is not about winning; it’s about strengthening relationships. Change doesn’t happen overnight.
  5. Check in with employees on a regular basis: Checking in with employees is essential for effective management in the workplace. Plan in-person or online meetings every few weeks or months, to discuss projects, issues, and the organization.

Clarity of purpose

  1. As an employer, you must first have a strong conviction about what you do; because your employees will mostly likely feed off the vibes you give off.
  2. Then, you must convey this purpose to your staff in a vision and mission statement.
  3. Give employees specific examples of how their roles positively impact the company and its clients.
  4. The employees must believe that what they do matters, this has a measurable impact on the success of the company.

Providing feedback

Checking in, tracking performance against expectations

Measuring how well your team is doing their job is more than just eye-opening: it’s vital to the success of your business.

The only way to know what’s working in your organization is by tracking performance against expectations.

Here are a few guidelines to tracking performance in your company:

  1. Measure both short-term and long-term: The most effective performance measurements encompass both short-term task completion and long-term performance, the latter of which paints a more striking picture of true impact. Find an online platform that lets you easily track short-term goals as well as long-term achievements, such as specific KPIs that can increase or improve over time.
  2. Embrace Project Management Technology: There are a ton of solutions out there when it comes to apps for managing your construction business. Task management on the job is no exception. Asana, Basecamp, and many others are easy-to-use applications to keep everyone on the team on the same page. They’re also a great tool for employee productivity tracking. They generate an overview of who is doing what and how quickly tasks are being completed. These tools can:
    • Keep your employees on task by clearly defining which jobs belong to whom
    • Manage expectations by keeping everyone aware of deadlines
    • Create an open line of communication when it comes to projects
  3. Be Transparent with Communication: If your employees know that you are going to be tracking their performance, they’ll put in their best work. If however, they find out that you’ve been tracking their every move in the office without their knowledge; they may be uncomfortable. Share, upfront and honest, with your employees:
    • Goals and objectives
    • How performance is being tracked
    • What expectations are for performance
    • This keeps your employees assured and confident of how to meet expectations and how their performance is being measured.

Handling Closure & Transitions

Handling Closure and Transition Gracefully

Endings are super important and if you ever find yourself in a position of a business closure or transition, you’ll need to be equipped with the knowledge of how to handle it gracefully.

Here is how to handle closure and transition gracefully:

  1. Speak With Employees:
    • To show that you respect your employees, speak with them in person about the company closing promptly after making your decision and before you divulge the news to anyone else. Relay your decision when everyone is present to prevent those who are absent hearing it from someone else.
    • Deliver the news with compassion bu t be professional and tactful as well.
  2. Deliver Formal Letters: After speaking with your employees, prepare a formal letter announcing the company closing. Reiterate what you told the employees in the letter and include a timeline for the closing. Make the closing date a Monday rather than a Friday. This allows employees to contact other establishments about job opportunities that same week.
  3. Provide Resources/Assistance: During your time in business, you likely formed a number of professional relationships. Contact your associates to see if they are hiring and refer your employees to those that are. Give your employees letters of recommendations and refer them to staffing agencies.
    • The state workforce agency can prove to be a valuable resource during this period. Many states have a rapid response team that visits workplaces to help employers and employees cope with company closures. Through orientation sessions and workshops, the team provides a variety of services, such as job counseling, job placement, interviewing techniques and Internet access for job search and resume posting.

Retention

Ways to reduce low retention rates due to negative company culture

  1. Be Proactive: As a manager or human resources professional, you are closely in touch with employees throughout the company. You receive employee complaints, do exit interviews with employees who leave, and know the reputation of your organization in your community. You can monitor the discussions on employee intranets, manage the appraisal and 360-degree feedback process, and coach managers in the appropriate staff treatment. This information helps you learn to identify the symptoms of negativity before its morale-busting consequences damage your workplace. It will also assist you in preventing and curtailing work place negativity.
  2. Opportunity to express opinions: Make opportunities available for people to express their opinion about workplace policies and procedures. Recognize the impact of changes in such areas as work hours, pay, benefits, assignment of overtime hours, comp
    pay, dress codes, office location, job requirements, and working conditions. These factors are closest to the mind, heart and physical presence of each individual. Changes to these can cause serious negative responses. Provide timely, proactive responses to questions and concerns.
  3. Control over their job: Provide opportunities for people to make decisions about and control and influence their job. The single most frequent cause of workplace negativity is traceable to a manager or the organization and deciding about a person’s work without their input.
  4. Use Consistent Fair Treatment: Treat people as adults with fairness and consistency. Develop and publicize workplace policies and procedures that organize work effectively. Apply them consistently.
  5. Provide Trust and Respect: Treat your employees as if they are trustworthy and worthy of your respect. Start from a position of trust when you hire a new employee. Verify their performance, truthfulness, and contribution over time to confirm your original position. Do not go with the mindset that people must earn your trust. That positioning ensures that negativity will take over in your workplace. Employees have radar machines and they are constantly scoping out their work environment. If you don’t trust them, they will know you don’t.
  6. Give Recognition: Provide appropriate rewards and recognition so people feel their contribution is valued. The power of appropriate rewards and recognition for a positive workplace is remarkable. Suffice to say, reward and recognition are two of the most powerful tools an organization can use to buoy staff morale

It’s Tempting But Care Must Be Taken – Social Justice Is NOT For Everybody

Agenda

Some Definitions – Social Justice vs. Social Responsibility

  • Why Is This Important?
  • Some Examples – Large Cases (What To Avoid?)
  • A Framework – How To Structure
    • Where It Worked For A Large Company
    • And A Small Company
  • Key Take Aways/Low Hanging Fruit

Definitions: Social Justice vs. Social Responsibility

The Line Often Blurs Between The Two

Social Justice: Advocating a certain stance or position on a controversial topic that is a real or perceived injustice by a significant segment of the population. The topic
usually does not relate directly to the business but is important to a large share of its customer base.

Social Responsibility: Operating in a responsible manner throughout all aspects of a companies value chain. Examples are lower carbon footprints, supporting childhood
education, workplace equality, etc. Issues are usually directly linked to the business.

It’s Tempting But Care Must Be Taken – It Is NOT For Everybody

Why Is This Topic Important?

Millennials

Differentiation

Align Values – I’m Like You!

Millennials – don’t have much trust in government to do what’s right. Instead, they believe they can only count on themselves to create the change they want to see, and they typically
pursue that change as “everyday change-makers,” sharing a mindset that influences what they buy, the clothes they wear, and the food they eat.

Business Roundtable: Beyond Profits and Shareholder Value? Employee Centric?

Are The Big Brands On To Something? Or Is This Needlessly Divisive? Are They Turning Off More People As They Are Turning On? Is It Their Customers Demanding This… Or Their Employees? What Are The Implications For Smaller Companies?

When Employee Centric Works And When It Backfires

Customer Interest – Self Interest

A Mixed Bag At Best…

Brand – Assessment – Comments

This has angered many people, but aligns with Nike’s brand. Sales went down then up. But jury is still out as Kaepernick pulls Nike into
his issues. This could still do damage.

When does it make sense to portray your loyal customers as the problem? After all Gillette has made a fortune from sexism. YouTube negatives far outnumbered positive. Became a sales drag on P&G’s quarterly results. Harry’s filled the void.

Huh? Pissed Off Meals? Showing people with mental disabilities in an unsympathetic light? And burgers are the worst thing for that condition. How did this get out of the board room?

Sales go up at Dick’s when they stop gun sales. Whether you agree or not, it was thought through and the response thoughtful.

And Then There Is This Fiasco…

Pepsi pulls ad after protests that this trivializes protests. Pepsi says they were just trying to promote peace. The bigger issue is, is this really a topic for Pepsi drinkers?

If You Go This Route Be Strategic

BrandBreath is a proven framework that gives you the insight and “How To” map to unify all aspects of your social responsibility marketing by:

  • “Inhaling” and finding your “new relevant social responsibility opportunities” that align with your customer’s values, and then
  • “Exhaling” and executing that can fully integrate your value chain into your brand’s current and future customer growth potential.

Think about how many brands just seem to blab… like people that don’t inhale or think before they speak!

BrandBreath is a simplified, logical path to increasing the vitality of your brand and its social relevance to your audience.

A 5 Phased Approach

  • VitaL Targets: Target segments whose advocacy of the brand are critical to its future success
  • VitaL Issues: The issues where the brand must be perceived as the credible and knowledgeable expert
  • VitaL Alliances: Alliances that extend credibility for the brand on the select issues, and expand knowledge
  • VitaL Programs: Programs that maximize leadership and provide a competitive advantage
  • VitaL Scorecard: The dashboard that provides the verdict and venues to consider for the future

A Quick Example: CIGNA

Issue: Establish leadership relative to major healthcare cost drivers and impact on consumers and businesses.

CIGNA’s MIT Thought Leadership: Depression

It’s Tempting But Care Must Be Taken-It Is NOT For Everybody

A Quick Example: CIGNA

  • Issue: Establish leadership relative to major healthcare cost drivers and impact on consumers and businesses
    • CIGNA’s MIT Thought Leadership: Addiction
    • CIGNA’s Thought Leadership: Gender Disparities, Women’s Heart Disease

What CIGNA Learned

  • Brand strength grew post 25% $ cut
  • Readership consistently in top 5
  • Positive Press generated
  • Media partners do More for less
  • Cigna gets Advanced info on conditions, how to price
  • Non profit alliances provided content and business connections!

But What About Smaller or Local Businesses?

It’s All Relative – The Walnut Beach Creamery vs. Carvel

Walnut Beach Creamery

  • one store
  • hand crafted gourmet ice cream
  • near beach location
  • since 2006
  • Milford, CT

Carvel

  • one of ~ 400 stores scattered throughout US
  • soft serve ice cream
  • since 1934
  • near town center
  • Milford, CT

Walnut Beach Creamery

  • involved with community
  • staffed with happy, teenagers who love customers and the joy of ice cream

Carvel

  • no community involvement
  • staffed by teenagers more obsessed with their phones than customers
  • known to close early even as customers are arriving
  • local FB group calling for boycott

So What Was The Social Responsibility for Walnut Beach Creamery?

A Little Bit About Walnut Beach

  • Once a thriving destination for vacationers
  • Fell into vacancies, shut down businesses, and disrepair as people vacationed elsewhere
  • Susan Patrick saw opportunity where ice cream could help bring back some Joy

Some Factors

  • Ice Cream and Beaches are an Iconic Match
  • Artists are inspired by the Beach
  • Milford’s Coastal areas needed some Joy

Opening An Ice Cream Shop Was Not Enough

Issues

  • Area needed an economic boost/tired
  • Need to be a destination
  • Safety for families/children
  • Inspire city wide revitalization

WBC Alliances

  • Economic Development Commission
  • Head Walnut Beach Association
  • Milford Fine Arts Council
  • Created Walnut Beach Arts Association
  • Boys Clubs/Girls Clubs

Programs

  • Thursday Night Strolls
  • Weekly Dance Parties
  • Charity Beach Walks
  • A Taste of Milford
  • Halloween Witch Party
  • Pumpkins On The Pier
  • The Beach Goes To You: Women’s Roller Derby

Some Results

“Susan has transformed Walnut Beach not just with ice cream, but as head of the Walnut Beach Business Association,”

-Mayor Ben Blake said in announcing the award. He said she has helped turn Walnut Beach into an arts destination.

  • Lines are Always Out The Door
  • Strong Advocacy on FB
  • Rarely are there Lines at Carvel
  • Many disgruntled comments on FB about Carvel’s workers
  • WBC costs more than Carvel

Low Hanging Fruit-5 Things To Consider

  1. What Is Important To Your Customers, Beyond The Product?
  2. How Does Your Business Align With A Social Need? Controversies?
  3. Identify The Stakeholders/Community Organizations
  4. Get Involved Beyond Donations
  5. Craft A Program With Your Alliance(s).

Closing Thoughts: Personal Opinion

  • Most Large Brands “Social Justice” Programs Are Self Driven vs. Customer Driven-Playing To Personal or Employee Issues vs. Customers
  • Social Responsibility Programs Make Sense When The Business Interest is Aligned With The Social Interest (Cigna and Walnut Beach Creamery)
  • If You Think It Through Carefully, Social Responsibility Can Work Wonders for Smaller Companies As They Fight Goliath!

5 ways to fully integrate your website into your marketing process.
How to move beyond dead-end marketing

Live Webinar Date: November 19, 2019 Register Here Until your website is fully integrated into your marketing process, it’s like driving down the road at 100 miles an hour with no destination. You are basically engaged in dead-end marketing. Dead-end marketing is a lot of time, effort and money that goes nowhere. For example, you put your time, energy and money into sending out 5000 flyers and yet there is no reason on the flyer to go to your website. The recipient reads the flyer and throws it away…that’s dead-end marketing. On the other hand, if all your marketing leads prospects to your website where you are engaging them, now you can drive down that road at 100 miles an hour with all your good marketing activity that leads to a true destination. In this webinar you will learn how to move beyond dead-end marketing.

How to move beyond dead-end marketing!

David Smith & Tori Jones

You Can’t Steer Something That’s Not in Motion!

  • Put yourself and your business in motion. This is the most important aspect: Make the decision and deal with the outcome.
  • Low hanging fruit tactics enable you to achieve momentum.

5 ways to fully integrate your website into your marketing process.

  1. Do you own your website and why is that important?
  2. Ensuring your website is the HUB of your marketing process.
  3. Creating your marketing funnel.
  4. Website call-to-action end points.
  5. Using your website to accomplish customer engagement.

1. Do You Own Your Website And Why Is That Important?

There Are 2 Ways to Build A Website:

  1. You pay to use a service and try to build it yourself, but you are really on their website/domain name, not yours… https://WebDesignIsland.Wix.com https://IslandFunnels.Shopify.com
  2. A skilled web designer builds a custom website in wordpress on your domain name…”Your Brand” https://WebDesignIsland.com https://IslandFunnels.com

WEBSITE TRAFFIC

  1. All the SEO work you do, and social media work goes to another domain: https://WebDesignIsland.Wix.com https://IslandFunnels.Shopify.com – Building their brand, NOT yours!
  2. All the SEO work you do, and social media work goes to your domain: https://WebDesignIsland.comhttps://IslandFunnels.com – Building your brand.

2. Ensuring Your Website Is The HUB Of Your Marketing Process.

Are You Bypassing Your Website? Point all your marketing collateral, networking efforts and social media accounts toward your website.

Don’t make links away from your website to social media sites. They own all your content.

Don’t make all your communication happen on social media sites, point all communication to your website and have customer interaction happen there.

How to use Social Media

https://WebDesignIsland.com https://IslandFunnels.com

Using Social Media to get visitors to your Website for FREE!

3. Creating Your Marketing Funnel.

Point all social media, print, signups for email lists, contact forms and payments to your website. Place products on your website. Complete product purchase on your website. This generates more traffic and raises your standing in the search engines…for free.

4. Website Call-To-Action End Points.

Are you using Call-To-Action?

  • You can place a CTA anywhere on your site, but it’s important to do it right.
  • You want your CTA to grab the attention of your visitors and really entice them to click.
  • Show your visitors an offer that they can’t refuse. Not only does it have to be visually appealing, but the content has to be persuasive as well.
  • In order to ensure your calls-to-action generate leads, you also need to remember the buyer’s journey.

Follow these best practices

  • Make them action-oriented
  • Use persuasive text
  • Include strong visuals
  • Create a sense of urgency
  • Make them easy to find

5. Use Website To Accomplish Customer Engagement.

  1. DO NOT BYPASS YOUR WEBSITE: Engagement such as filling out a form, watching a video or using a call-to-action keeps them on your site longer.
  2. ALL-IN-ONE: Your website can track everything for your business. It can be your store, your CRM, your appointment scheduler, library of content, membership, funnel, blog (visitors can comment, share content) etc.
  3. AWAY FROM WEBSITE: Never use links that direct them away from your Website (i.e. Facebook, Payment site, membership site, ). To build website traffic, you need to keep visitors there.

SmokeShield_Clip-02.mov (see webinar replay video)

Often, I’ll go to an event and when someone asks what I do, I say “we produce video” and they say, “oh weddings”

I CRINGE because they have no concept of the way video can help their business Market showing your “VALUE PROPOSITION”

What’s in it for the viewer

GENERAL CATEGORIES OF BUSINESS VIDEO?

  • “Engage Viewers” and “Convert to Buyers” when they are ready
  • Build “Brand Awareness” brand recognition-Social Media

”Live Streaming” presenting something live, anywhere

Some Video Success Stories

Business “Value Proposition” what do you do that a viewer wants; ”What’s in it for them” and what differentiates you from the competition

”Engagement” staying on the radar and being recognized as the source/expert for when a viewer is ready to buy

Training Internal/External

”Live Streaming” presenting something live, anywhere

•And hundreds more large and small

There is a well know statement, “A picture is worth a thousand words”

And if that is the case, a video is worth over a million.

LET’S SHOW SOME EXAMPLES

. . . And as you watch the examples, think about what category or categories the video falls into and how it shows solving problems/satisfying needs, engaging, training or a combination which will motivate a viewer to take the action you want:

•Value Proposition
•Engagement
•Brand Awareness
•Training
•Or something else

(See webinar replay video)

GENERAL CATEGORIES OF VIDEO

  • Market showing your “VALUE PROPOSITION”–what’s in it for the viewer
  • “Engage Viewers” and “Convert to Buyers” when they are ready
  • Build “Brand Awareness” brand recognition
  • Train Effectively–your employees and buyers
  • DIY Video has a place and can be very effective
  • Professional Video Production adds more

DIY–Do it Yourself Video

  • If you have time time to plan and have some equipment, it can be very effective in getting your message out.
  • With everyone having a smartphone, you can record anytime, almost any place to gather footage and you should
  • You can post to Social Media instantly
  • You can get good results as you practice more

DIY–Common Mistakes

  • Terrible Sound–get a wireless or wired mic and get a camera app like “MoviePro” that lets you monitor sound with headphones or buds
  • Exposure and color–use a camera app that lets you adjust easily
  • Too much motion–start recording 5 seconds before and hold your shot 5 seconds after the action. Don’t pan rapidly all over the place.
  • No pre-planning and lack of continuity shot to shot
  • No end goal for what you want the viewer to do and/or call to action

Testimonial Video

Testimonials are a potent convincer because it shows satisfaction with your product or service and helps people identify being in the same situation with the same problems or needs

  • You see this all the time on TV but it may not have sunk in. There are two general positions for an interviewee to be facing:
    • Facing the camera when talking directly “to” the audience. Like asking them to do something, “ie: “call me today”
    • Facing to the side when talking “about” the subject to an interviewer. This is called “off camera”.
    • Also, there is the “rule of thirds”. The subject should always be facing into the video frame if looking off camera.
  • It has to look “right”
  • Use B-roll to make your message more understandable “say it, show it”

Proper Placement of Subject

Looks “correct” for a video image talking to camera, facing into frame but “incorrect” on this PPT image because he should be facing into PPT slide

Looks ”correct” speaking to camera

Looks “ correct” talking to an interviewer off camera and also looks correct for this PPT frame looking into the frame.

  • Preparing your subject’s appearance
  • Sometimes an interview may be spontaneous and you don’t have the chance,
    but you should try to be certain your subject is neat and presentable

    • If possible, have your interviewee clean up by giving them a chance to look in a mirror. If a woman, give them a chance to adjust their makeup.
    • That means being certain hair isn’t messed; use hairspray if you can
    • Be certain clothes are not askew
    • Faces are not greasy–just blot with tissue or if possible and you are serious about doing a good job, have powder
  • Have your subject paraphrase the question in the answer.
    • For example, if you are an interviewer not being recorded and you ask if they like your product, you don’t want them to answer just with saying “Yes” because the audience will have no idea what they are talking about
  • Cue your subject when to begin speaking so they know the camera is recording.
  • Use an external microphone, a lavaliere, handheld or boom mic, to get good sound
  • Light the subject if you can

The 3 Phases of Video Production

  • For Even A Short Three-minute Video, Between Planning, Shooting And Editing, It Can Take Many, Many, Man-hours that you may not realize till you work with a professional crew.

Pre-Production

  • This Is The Most Important Phase Where Everything Is Planned Out Ahead Of Time.
  • It Usually Takes The Most Time because here is where the plan for the project is developed
  • What Message Are You Trying To Get Across To What Specific Audience?
  • What Type Of Problems Does The Video Solve Or What Needs Does It Satisfy For The Viewer? Otherwise Why Would They Be Interested?
  • Figure Out All The Necessary Resources Required To Assure The Video Will Accomplish Your Goals.
  • Determining Objective, Location Scouting, Actor Prepping, Lighting, Sound, Cameras, Approximate Length Of End-product;
  • These Are Some Examples Of What Must Be Thought Out Ahead Of Time.
  • Does The Project Require A Script?

The Production Phase

  • Once You’ve Answered All Required Questions, The Actual Camera Work Begins.
  • On A Professional Shoot, There’ll Be Crew Members Responsible For Camera Operations, Lighting, Sound, Make-up, And Directing The Action To Be Certain Any Planned Scenes Transition Properly.
  • Someone May Also Be Keeping Track Of Which Shots Will Be Used (Best Shots For Editing Purposes) And Referring To The Script To Be Sure All Required Shots Are Recorded.
  • If There Are Action Takes Involved, No Matter How Simple, Numerous Takes May Be Required Till The Proper Shot And Timing Is Accomplished.
  • Depending On The Type Of Shoot Planned, Many Other Options Such As Teleprompters, Drones, Jibs, Dollies, Specialized Lighting Etc. May Be Involved.

Post-Production

  • This is the editing phase.
  • Selected takes are digitized, trimmed, and put together on a timeline within editing software.
  • Animations, graphics, voiceovers, music, color correction etc. are put into place.
  • 5-minute video = over 800 video and audio items (Play Ashbury Video from Shot Show)

The 5-Step Online Review System for Business Growth

Step 1: Continual Awareness Step 2: Rapid Response Step 3: Request Reviews Step 4: Leverage Reviews for Marketing Step 5: Automate Your Online Review System

Step 1–CONTINUAL AWARENESS

How To Monitor Your Online Reputation for free:

  • Do you know what business listing are out there for your company? Have you created/claimed your listings? Do you know how to login?
  • On online review sites such as Google, Yelp and even Facebook, you can set up to receive email notifications to be alerted when people interact with your page.

Step 2–RAPID RESPONSE

The way you respond to your online reviews affects your customer service reputation:

  • Responding to online reviews gives you another chance to interact with your clients/customers.
  • Say THANK YOU if someone took the time to review your business!
  • Answering a negative review takes a bit of courage but is a MUST! Remember to never argue! If you can simply make it right, then do it. If you know who the person is, contact them offline and see if you can fix the situation. If you can, chances are the review will update their online review to reflect a more positive experience.

Potential Customers/Clients will be looking at your reviews most of the time before they use you. The way you reply or if you simply ignore what is being said about you online will help form a person’s opinion of your company.

Step 3–REQUEST REVIEWS
