00:08:57 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Moxie is AMAZING! I have 10 days left on my trial and I’m definitely signing up. Was able to cancel Calendly AND one other software – so I’ll be saving about $15-20 a month by switching to Moxie. This could probably count as a win as well!

00:10:11 Angelica Hidalgo: Gooooo Tracy!!
00:10:14 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: Reacted to “Moxie is AMAZING! I …” with 🥳
00:10:16 Stephani – The Simple Growth Co: Replying to “Moxie is AMAZING! I …”

I'm doing the same – I'm going to be able to cancel Honeybook, Harvest, & Calendly!
00:10:16 Michelle Self: that's amazing!
00:10:43 Katheryn Symington: Replying to “Moxie is AMAZING! I …”

Amazing.
00:12:14 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Angelica you ROCK!!!
00:12:24 Erica Nash: SO exciting!!!
00:12:24 Michelle Self: My win is that I'm back here and re-focusing on my business. After a slow Q1 and a busy (life wise) April/May, I am feeling excited about jumping back in.

00:15:12 Erica Nash: Replying to “If you’re thinking a…”

I think it’s called freelance with Moxie. It will give you a great idea of what they are like as a company!
00:15:54 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “My win is that I'm b…”

00:35:28 Michelle Self: Awesome – thanks!
00:35:29 Erica Nash: Replying to “Is there a place to …”

We will spam you, I promise haha
00:35:47 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: I think we’re all excited about that workshop! 😉

00:35:58 Michelle Self: Reacted to “We will spam you, I …” with 😀
00:37:23 Ruby Javaid: Reacted to “I think we’re all ex…” with ❤️
00:37:34 Erica Nash: Reacted to “I think we’re all ex…” with ❤️
00:37:43 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: Yes – I’d bet they have a lot of tutorials and trainings.
00:39:24 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: “what works” in email is also going to be a bit different per client, so I see it as an opportunity for you to get paid to learn: you can set it up and monitor it for them and make recommendations/adjustments as you go.
00:39:38 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Peeked at the klaviyo website (also not familiar with them) – there is a resources section in their nav
00:39:52 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Reacted to ““what works” in emai…” with 👆
00:40:44 Erica Nash: It shocks me every time someone DOESN’T want to learn to do something. Honestly 😂
00:41:00 Michelle Self: Replying to “It shocks me every t…”

Same!
00:41:07 Erica Nash: Reacted to “Same!” with 😆
00:41:10 Ruby Javaid: Reacted to “It shocks me every t…” with 💯
00:41:38 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “It shocks me every t…”

Yes!

Although I know a lot of people who are just feeling overwhelmed by all the tech things… and it’s just one more thing on top of all the other stresses they have…..
00:42:20 Erica Nash: Replying to “It shocks me every t…”

Totally!! It’s very reasonable to not want to learn something or even if you know how to do it to just not want to do it. It blows my mind every time though 😂
00:44:41 Ruby Javaid: I feel this way too Angelica!
00:45:57 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: I’m feeling this way too.
00:52:17 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: I think the challenge comes in when you feel the pressure to make a sale quickly. It’s hard to think of the long game in that situation. This makes a lot of sense though. It’s partly why I’m looking for other work now —to take the pressure off of these conversations so they’re more natural.
00:52:54 Erica Nash: Replying to “I think the challeng…”

Totally. It does make it hard when the pressure to book now is on.
00:55:05 Michelle Self: This is so timely – with taking a break earlier in the year, I need to get clients quickly, but also need to plan long term
00:59:20 Jessica Aiese-Davoli: Thanks everyone! have to run. This was helpful!
01:02:26 Angelica Hidalgo: Thank you so much!
01:02:34 Joyce: Thank you!
01:02:38 Katheryn Symington: Thank you!
