    What NOT to Do When You Reach Out to Someone in Their DMs

    What NOT to Do When You Reach Out to Someone in Their DMs

    I talk a lot about connecting with people as a way to market your business. I share ideas about how to do this in a non-spammy, authentic way.



    This episode is all about what NOT to do. I share the spam messages I received from someone who takes money from people to teach them his creepy method.



    Has this ever happened to you?

    The Magic of In-Person Events

    The Magic of In-Person Events

    There are so many ways to connect with people and build your network.

     

    This includes connecting virtually, remotely, with video, with text, and the list goes on.

     

    And one of the most magical ways to connect is at in-person events.


    In this episode, I share how to get the most out of in-person events without exhausting yourself. I talk about my experience attending ATOMICON on Jun 13, 2023 in Newcastle, UK.


    "In-person connections have a way of creating lasting memories, imprinted on our hearts with the magic of genuine interactions." Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie


    NOTE: At minute 7:49 I said I met Elizabeth Gilbert but I meant to say Elizabeth Goddard. ;0

    Marketing Without Realizing It With Dr. Marcia Goddard

    Marketing Without Realizing It With Dr. Marcia Goddard

    When I reached out to Marcia to ask if she would be interested in talking about how she has marketed her business she wasn’t sure I was knocking on the right door.



    She told me she had never really had a marketing strategy and that most of her clients had come from referrals and inconsistent posting on LinkedIn.



    I replied to say that those things are actually marketing. And as it turns out, she has done many brilliant things to grow her business. She just wasn’t
    thinking about them as marketing.



    You will LOVE listening to this podcast where she shares her journey of starting her business and which marketing actions have worked well for her.



    So if you’re a ‘hesitant marketer’ you will surely be inspired by Marcia’s story and also gain practical advice you can use in your own business.



    Dr. Marcia Goddard is a neuroscientist on a mission. She is an award-winning science communicator and experienced keynote speaker, able to bridge the gap
    between science and business. She speaks on a range of topics, but always with a ‘brainy twist’: neuroscience is the foundation of everything she does. Her
    mission is to break stereotypes: science is everywhere, and it doesn’t have to be boring!



    Here are links to Marcia's Business: Brains Matter Consulting and Non-Profit: Business Contentment Foundation.

    How to Decide What Kind of Visibility is Right for You

    In order for clients to hire you they have to know you exist. There are so many ways to be visible so you can be seen and hired.



    One of my newsletter readers asked me a great question about visibility and I answer it in this episode.



    Here is the post I mentioned about Strategic Alliance Partnerships (be sure to download the no opt-in document below the video).

    And this is the post about how to calculate your conversion ratio.



    If you have questions, let me know! I love to hear from listeners. You can send me an email stephanie@fireflycoaching.com or send me a DM on Instagram (link below).
