🍽️ If you walk into a restaurant with money to spend, and no one there talks to you for a full 15 min, what are you going to do? 😠 You’re going to walk out and go to another restaurant where they will respond to you.🫕 😯The same thing can happen with your customers if you are not responding to them quickly. Jason Kramer of Cultivize shared studies with us that for every 15 min you wait to respond the less and less likely you are to get a sale from that lead. 💸 Now, you’re probably thinking, ‘I can’t respond to every lead that fast! I’m busy all day with appointments, etc!” 😮💨 🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear how Jason solves that problem too. It’s simpler than you think! 🤨 Details below! 👇 #ConvertLeads #SmallBusinessMarketingStrategy #WorkSmarterNotHarder #RevenueGrowth #HomeServiceBusiness #IncreaseSalesRevenue #LeadConversion #WindowCleaningBusiness #HomeCleaners #HomeCleaningBusiness #InteriorDesignIndustry #MovingIndustry

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." – Theodore Roosevelt Facilitating a session isn’t about showing off your knowledge – it’s about delivering it with a little heart and a lot of balance! It’s like trying to make a great meal: if you’ve got the right ingredients but no spice, it’s just...meh. So, let's talk about the three spices you need: Context, Content, and Conviction. #Context: If you don’t know your audience, it's like trying to serve soup without a spoon. Make sure you know what they need before you dive in. #Content: Give them something tasty AND actionable! Nobody wants to leave a session hungry for real, useful insights. #Conviction: Believe in what you're cooking! If you’re not passionate, they’ll taste it – and trust me, bland food (and presentations) aren’t anyone’s favorite. So, next time you’re leading a session, ask yourself: Am I seasoning this right? Do I know the flavors my audience craves, and am I serving it with the passion of a Michelin-star chef? The magic lies in the perfect balance – and a little bit of spice. PS: I hope my plate of chicken didn't make you hungry! #Facilitation #Leadership #PublicSpeaking

Don’t ask “How short was Napoleon?”  Instead, ask “How would you describe Napoleon’s height?” Don’t ask “Where do you enjoy drinking beer?”  Instead, ask “What are your drinking preferences/habits?” Don’t ask “Do you always eat breakfast?”   Instead, ask “How many days a week do you usually eat breakfast?” Avoid double-barrelled questions. Avoid leading questions. Avoid loaded questions. Avoid absolutes. If you don’t think through your research questions, you will never get the desired outcome. #userresearch #productmanagement

Niche down for marketing success! 🎯 Chef Adam Lamb shares his perspective on the power of niche marketing for restaurants. His advice to focus on mastering one specialty rather than trying to be everything to everyone is so spot on. When you niche down, you're able to really hone in on and perfect your craft. This mastery stands out and gives customers, especially locals, a compelling reason to return again and again for that one beloved menu item. Think about the restaurants you frequent most. Chances are, they likely have that one dish, meal, or cuisine you just can't get anywhere else. That's the power of niche marketing. What's one way your restaurant could niche down and lean into specialization from a marketing perspective?
