Don’t solicit fake reviews from your friends, family, or employees! The FTC’s new rule on endorsements and testimonials—effective October 21, 2024 (TODAY)—brings stricter guidelines for online reviews. It prohibits fake reviews, undisclosed employee testimonials, and suppressing negative feedback without valid reasons. Transparency is essential for maintaining consumer trust and integrity, especially in the home improvement space. At HomePros, we’re committed to keeping businesses informed on important updates. While it may be tempting for new businesses to get those early reviews from friends or family, it’s unethical—and could backfire. Stay authentic! Read more at the linked article.

Describing your firm as “full service” (as most unfortunately do) is not only inaccurate, it also unwittingly repels prospective clients. Clients do not want or buy “a wide range of experience;” they want experience in their industry. Your claim of “full service” inspires incredulity, not interest. No firm — no matter how big — can claim to offer every kind of service to every kind of client. https://lnkd.in/gCYFWdJ8

I slaved away months working for a client who didn't even pay me in full This was our 3rd client, and the biggest yet I was excited as working for this client included video content creation Unlike most of the new agencies, we did all business on paper We created a strategy, fixed a charge, and signed the agreement We created absolutely bomb content for them that I cherish to date We even got approached by many potential clients due to this work Month after month, the shoot started to lag behind And the payment timeline also started to lag behind In just a few months, we were working for them on a billing term And not long after, the inevitable happened The client held onto our payment due to a so-called "Renovation" of their business Days passed by since our payment due date but we got no update Eventually, weeks passed by, and now our calls were getting dodged Finally, when it was a little over a month, we lodged a formal complaint We went down the whole legal rabbit hole hoping we would receive help We even sought as many opinions as possible to build our morale but to no avail The legal bodies that were supposed to be helping us shattered our resolve as they would only entertain crores worth of amount We understood two things through all this - 1. No one's experience is of any help to you, but yours alone 2. Prevention is better than cure People can be doing the same business as us and people can be going through the same problems as us, but it's never the same for the two We can be doing all the paperwork and legal procedures in the world, but none is compared to preventing the loss altogether than foolhardily going into the lion's den Here's to many more big and small business lessons to come! #businesslessons

If you're offering professional services on a subscription basis, where are your clients receiving / perceiving the most value? For us, it's two things: 1. Accountability. Forced touchpoints (e.g., scheduled quarterly meetings) that allow the client to spill on everything happening in their business and for us to update them on opportunities based on changes in their business / changes in the law. 2. Access. Clients get access to us year-round and ask questions / schedule additional meetings any time there's a need, for no additional charge. Billing extra for "quick questions" sucks for everyone.

A recent survey shows that working Americans highly value financial professionals, yet many still don't fully understand how advisors can help them achieve their goals. With 31% citing a lack of clarity and others intimidated by costs or trust barriers, the takeaway is clear: communication is key. Effective marketing and branding that highlights your expertise as a financial professional and demonstrates how you can enhance prospects' plans is essential to bridging this communication gap.
