This is the third episode in a six part mini series. It’s the E in the ACE Model for Clients for Life.  This is one of my favourite topics because so often we don’t take the time to put a ringfence around our clients. So many of us business owners do not employ engagement strategies. We’re not taught them, so therefore they aren’t put into practice.  But what if you started employing some engagement practices with your existing clients?  That’s what I want for you from this podcast. Little things matter… So grab a pen and paper, this episode is all about how to keep those clients that we’ve attracted and converted...and keep them for life.

This is the second episode in a 6 part mini-series about the ACE Model.  I've been in marketing for over 20 years and I believe there are three main phases in marketing - client attraction, client conversion and client engagement. At any point in the customer journey, you are in one of those phases. This episode dives deep into the second phase - client conversion.  This is the section that you move your prospect from being attracted to you to getting to know you more and then buying from you. It’s a massive phase.  In this episode we talk about client conversion using the written word. Words are more prevalent now than they ever were and it’s important you use them effectively and persuasively to convert your prospect into a client.  Grab a pen and paper, this is jam-packed with ideas for you as you embark on client attraction.

Episode 6 is the start of a six part mini series. Over the next six episodes, we’re going to talk about the three phases that is incredibly important in marketing - client attraction, client conversion and client engagement.  At any point in the customer journey, you may have clients in one or three of those phases. Over the next six episodes, we’ll dive a little deeper into each phase, so each episode will be a mini workshop. This episode deals with Client Attraction. It’s that initial stage where someone notices you or you want them to notice you. We are going to talk about MAC - message, audience and channel.  Grab a pen and paper, this is jam-packed with ideas for you as you embark on client attraction. 

In this episode, I talk with Liz Melville. She is a facebook marketer and facebook ads strategist. She was super generous with her information and her knowledge on how to use Facebook as a marketing tool. Facebook ads is her specialist niche but she knows Facebook inside and out. Now, we did talk about the elephant in the room – is facebook still a platform to consider? We also talked about the many tools that comprise the platform and how to use them to your advantage – ads, groups, lives, chatbots. It’s all here. And her business secret at the end? Well lets just say, listen to the end and think about it for yourself. (I'll end up doing a podcast dedicated to it!). 

In this episode, I wanted to focus on four things that will stop you from getting distracted from getting the leads that you need to get, or the customers that you want. My theme for this year is ‘discipline is freedom’...and with that comes focus, and stop getting distracted. I am the biggest procrastinator in the world. And if you are like me, then you are going to love this podcast series, especially this episode. I am so going to give you the tools to stop procrastinating!! This episode features four practical ways to get you back on track if you've slipped a bit from your goals to help you - create growth - attract leads - keep clients?

In this episode of Let’s Talk Marketing, I talked with Claire McPherson, a leading business coach and owner of Claire McPherson Coaching.

The more I learn about mindset, the more I am discovering that it has everything to do with marketing success.
