00:02:21 Lynn Davey: I had a client that I had a consult with last October. They kept dragging their feet and then ghosting me. I heard from them last week and asked what the next steps are. I kindly updated them on my new pricing, sent them to sign a contract, and we are now back on track!

00:19:59 Laura Nurse: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

I’m getting 1-4 sales calls per month. Sources are 1 per month from a local directory I’m listed on, the other 3 from networking at local association events and following up. Summer has been slow.
00:20:03 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

After about 2 years of pretty consistent, niched blogging, SEO is now my top lead generator.
00:20:20 Angelica Hidalgo: Reacted to “I’m getting 1-4 sale…” with ❤️
00:20:22 Angelica Hidalgo: Reacted to “After about 2 years …” with ❤️
00:21:20 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

@Laura Nurse ooh okay so networking is working for you, I need to get out there more.
00:22:02 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

Before that, I was doing pretty well from being a guest speaker for groups. I got most of those from pitching to their committee.
00:22:02 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

@Pauline Wiles You’ve done such an incredible job at niching and being the go to person! I’d love to start blogging but I’m not the best copywriter

00:22:54 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

@Pauline Wiles That’s good to know, other people keep I’ve asked seem to say networking or in person also
00:23:18 Kaitlyn Unger | KTU Designs LLC: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

Most of mine are referrals or people I know, worked with, etc.
00:23:51 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

@Angelica Hidalgo now that you have a podcast, hopefully being on other people's podcasts could be a good option for you??
00:24:24 Laura Nurse: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

it is. I like socializing and chatting with people and my approach is to just show up, make friends with other biz owners, and try to help connect people. I’m there to plant seeds, not rustle up work. AND I push myself to meet someone new and connect/introduce others.

00:25:52 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: WIN: [this is a bit long – sorry about that] – That WebCare client I asked the question about last week (reminder: she installed WooCommerce and a whole bunch of other things and messed up her site then deactivated all the stuff she installed to fix it)

Sent a great email to her: First I thanked her for letting me know what happened and I was glad she was able to fix it. Then I cautioned her to check with me about plugins first because a) I can't fix things without charging her (said it very nicely but kept boundaries up), and b) because the host is particular about what plugins are used on their platform and they don't allow everything for various security reasons. And I also offered to send her pricing on ME implementing WooCommerce for her.

Kept boundaries while offering my (paid) help. It felt good because I was able to essentially not feel like I had to take responsibility and fix things for her because it's her site and not my fault if she goes in a changes things without involving me, etc.

@Pauline Wiles I agree! Although the focus is the other person, maybe I could get reached out to, or do some episodes where I share my expertise?
00:27:23 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Question for @all : …”

@Laura Nurse I love chatting people with too, I want to try meet with someone new once a week and build relationships
00:27:54 Laura Nurse: @Michelle Merrill – Send me an email if you’d like to look at my digital marketing assistant services patrick if you want a starting point. 🙂 laura@lauranurse.com

00:39:00 Angelica Hidalgo: Is everyone now using Moxie for automation? I don’t have the funds to pay for another subscription at the moment, is there a way to automate free or should I make a program a priority?

00:39:25 Casey Nishikawa Morrin: Reacted to “@Casey Nishikawa Mor…” with ❣️
00:39:35 Michelle Merrill: I'm using Moxie, but I'm not even automating yet. It's cheaper than Dubsado and does more. It was worth it to switch for me. 🙂

That’s good to know thank you Michelle
00:40:31 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

I’ve only set up one automation in Moxie thus far (haven’t made time to mess more with it yet)… But I don’t have anything else automated anywhere else… so I can’t answer the rest of that 😉
00:41:00 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

How do you find not having things automated? Maybe I don’t even need to spend time on this
00:41:13 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

I’m just trying to make my client experience exceptional
00:41:28 Erica Nash: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

You should do whatever works for you and your business right now! Moxie is great, but only if you need it. It’s half the cost of Dubsado, which is why I made the switch.
00:41:46 Michelle Merrill: Replying to “I'm using Moxie, but…”

You're welcome. I was about to add, Notion has some incredible features even at the free level. It's a whole-@$$ program and a learning curve, but it might be helpful for automation on a budget.
00:42:09 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

It’s the only way I’ve really worked so far – But I do a very hands-on experience… but I do have some emails automated, and invoices automated through Moxie… And that works wonderfully so far.
00:42:11 Casey Nishikawa Morrin: https://www.optimonk.com/
00:42:15 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

I'm still with Dubsado – I suspect I'm on a legacy pricing plan and I can't face all the recreating of stuff in Moxie, to save a very small amount. Angelica, if you don't yet have a full client load, doing things more manually isn't likely to drag you down too much.

Don’t have Moxie. I use Indy for invoicing and billing and other freelance stuff. Not automated yet. So still in client reactive mode 🫨🫠

00:45:43 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

And I also have Moxie’s Scheduler set up as well – so project meetings, design consultations, etc., etc. are also set up.

I guess I have a lot more things automated than I thought….
00:46:14 Pauline Wiles: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

@Angelica Hidalgo , simply writing out some checklists, canned emails, project steps (in any tool) can be a big help … and it will make Moxie / Dubsado / whatever much easier to implement, when the time comes. I still have most of my project processes in a spreadsheet.
00:46:32 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

How’s the invoicing and contracts do you know? Atm I have two different things which I don’t enjoy
00:46:37 Michelle Merrill: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

@Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC I absolutely LOVE the scheduler(s). I have a discovery, a kick-off, and a grab time with me version.

@Pauline Wiles that’s a great idea! I should start with that
00:47:17 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

YES Michelle – I replaced Calendly and it integrates SO much more nicely than Calendly did in my website!
00:47:27 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

Can I please see!!?
00:47:41 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

I don’t like how calendly looks

00:49:11 Angelica Hidalgo: I use story brand but I never make the pain points crazy, they’re always soft and like “I understand it’s frustrating not being able to …”
00:49:14 Pauline Wiles: 4.11 – What to Put on Your Website was very helpful for me, but I admit it took me a loooong time to rework my existing web pages.
00:49:56 Casey Nishikawa Morrin: Found this 30 min homepage copy writing workbook from Eleanor Mayrhofer: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nMwASSE0Vfr5P5ZpiYx-tVdLSHehf2I7IHKDbFwUVLo/edit?usp=sharing
00:50:03 Tracy Trathen • e design studio, LLC: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

You can see what my design consultation scheduler looks like on my website here:

It does look similar to Calendly, but doesn’t have a weird box because it’s not set up using an iframe.
00:50:10 Michelle Merrill: The language around the pain points is SO important. I kinda combine that pp, agitate situation in conjunction with like a “here's what I hear you saying you struggle with; here's how life could be easier.
00:50:39 Casey Nishikawa Morrin: I’m also currently in love with this brand’s website copy that writes FOR a client: https://oliveststudio.com/
00:50:51 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

I love what she does!!
00:51:52 Michelle Merrill: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

It's similar to calendly, but I've integrated my calendar and zoom, so it's all automated. I just show up to the meeting!
00:52:13 Angelica Hidalgo: Replying to “Is everyone now usin…”

Cool!! Does it connect to Google Calendar?
