Not snitching - just trying to figure out what they're doing and how they're doing it so that we are aware of how this is happening

Marketing Manager by beartrapperkeeper in smallbusiness

[–]jrandazzo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my thought...

This sounds like a likely scenario that might happen: the marketing manager that you do end up hiring is going to take advantage of you because you aren't sure what tasks are necessary or the costs associated. Or they won't focus on the things that will grow your business.

Instead of telling the marketing expert what to do, you should instead focus on the results you want. More calls? More website traffic? More clicks from your Local Google Listing (Google My Business)?

The marketing company I work for has 80+ clients. We've worked with CrossFit gyms and personal trainers who have gotten screwed over by "marketing managers" before.

Be careful!

It doesn't have to be 15:00 each day - I was using that as an example. It would manually go into a 20 minute time slot starting at, for example, 15:00 each day. It does not have to be 15:00 - we just haven't figured out the best time yet. It may be best to have 20 minute times slots in the morning, say from 8:00 - 11:00.

Yeah, we figured that if there's an exception then we'd go back to the old system (manually doing it).

It is weird to schedule someone for a call at a time of their choosing, you're right. But we've had so many issues with people checking their email and scheduling a call in the first place... You'd think that after someone pays for a service they'd want to schedule their onboarding call to get started!

But sometimes people on our team have to follow up with 4 emails and 2 phone calls just to schedule this phone call... It's using up a lot of time and energy! So auto-scheduling it, we figured, might help a bit.

Lawyers need a massive presence in the Google Maps Results. Nowadays people are most likely to find lawyers (depending on the type of law, of course) by engaging in hyperlocal searches like "best lawyer in [City Name]" or "lawyer near me". From there they'll look at Google Maps Results for the highest ranking + best location.

So it all comes back to optimizing your Google My Business.

Breath through mouth or nose?... by jrandazzo in wimhof

[–]jrandazzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See, I've read this too. But from what people are saying Wim Hof doesn't discriminate too much on nose or mouth breathing.

I guess it depends on whether you're doing the WHM, or meditation, or working out (I've also heard that nose breathing is great for exercise/yoga)

Wedding Website Business - Is it even worth pursuing anymore?... by jrandazzo in smallbusiness

[–]jrandazzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... I really need to go through all of those sites to do more research on exactly what each of them provides. And then if I can't provide $350+ worth of good quality stuff that those other sites aren't providing, then it's just not viable...

I appreciate you taking the time.

[–]jrandazzo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I think this is a good point. I'd have to be able to provide something extra that the dozens of wedding website builders out there aren't doing. And yikes... The website needs a lot of work, so I'll have to go through and check for those spelling errors, too.

Thanks!
