I met her in Josh Hall’s web designer club. She used to be a VA, and she is also a web designer, so it's the perfect combination.

00:18:19 Caitlin Harrison: I can't do that 😉
00:18:33 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Yes you can!!
00:19:44 Sharon Blalock OBM: You are working for free
00:21:12 Courtney Wilson: What’s normal for terms for contracts? Is 15 days standard? Ours is 30 but sometimes that is soooo painful.
00:21:41 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: I have ‘due on receipt’ with a late fee after 30 days but I don’t know what is typical
00:22:14 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: And recurring stuff needs to be paid before work is done
00:23:42 Kate Newnham: Omg that happened to me Lauren and he NEVER paid me!! Ugh it made me so mad. I had to let it go after 2 years.
00:25:51 Janet Hoover: Good one! Oy!
00:25:59 leighscott: yes, exactly
00:29:33 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I create content that uses a lot of storytelling. I usually give examples of my own life and business, but I always tie it up to the results they can get from working with me. I post mostly on LinkedIn and repurpose for FB/IG through a tool.
00:30:23 Janet Hoover: I’ve always assumed that too, so interesting
00:31:11 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I also do some networking and cofffe dates (I used to do a lot, now it's just minimal, but I’m still seeing results from those old connections). These connections still see my current content and engage.
00:32:29 Erica Nash: Launching a podcast
00:33:22 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: Yes, connections!
00:33:42 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Back to the basics
00:33:59 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I used to do so many coffee dates that I almost burnt myself out, lol. But I’m glad I did, I can now come back to those connections.
00:35:01 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I haven't done ONE video and only ONE podcast interview, which I didn't love. All my content is written (and some images for FB/IG).
00:35:06 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: Hate TikTok
00:37:31 Sharon Blalock OBM: That is it…. Share a vision for your clients when they work with you… then go sell that VISION
00:38:47 Lauren N.: that’s a very good shift of mindset. selling the vision
00:40:27 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: But people will see you if you have short coffee dates!
00:40:49 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: Maybe an in-between would be connecting via a loom video so your dream clients can see your face
00:40:51 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: yah!
00:40:53 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: 15-20 minute coffee dates once in a while. Zoom is also video 😁
00:42:41 Sharon Blalock OBM: Yes it did help, thank you so much!
00:42:54 Brittney: Glad you asked, Kate!
00:43:41 Kate Newnham: Thx all!!
00:45:59 Lauren N.: woah, i never thought about the contractor as becoming a client and giving them a patrick matrix
00:46:23 Courtney Wilson: Wow. I need to remember this!!
00:46:54 Kaila – HeyKaila Media: #patrickeverything 🤯
00:50:21 Caitlin Harrison: that stupid @everyone tag
00:50:34 Kate Newnham: It seems like everyone has a FB group now
00:50:50 Kate Newnham: Like it’s the new strategy to get clients and everyone jumped on board
00:51:11 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: It's easier if it's a paid membership, mastermind or course. General groups are hard.
00:52:19 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I joined 2 paid memberships for female entrepreneurs earlier this year, built relationships, and was able to get some clients from those networks.
00:53:28 Sharon Blalock OBM: I've had 2 other coaches say the same thing… network, outreach, followup, relationship building
00:54:02 Sharon Blalock OBM: strategic business decisions!
00:54:21 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: I've hard people wen to their local business clubs, lol
00:54:27 Mariela Cabezas | Web Designer – soulbusinessdesign.com: heard
00:55:45 Sharon Blalock OBM: You only have to know 10% more than the other person
00:55:48 Lauren N.: oh that’s a good definition of expert
00:57:13 Aisha Beauford: I am finding module 5 harder than 4.
00:57:53 Courtney Wilson: Aisha – we just finished 5. The outreach is going to be soooooo out of my comfort zone and will be so hard lol
00:59:45 Janet Hoover: -2019
00:59:49 Kate Newnham: I still do that reachout accountability session with a few WDA peeps! DM me if you want to join!!
01:00:10 Lauren N.: That reach out group is the reason i got a sale last week!
