    023 - Why Isn’t Your Marketing Working? The 9-Piece Puzzle Behind Business Growth | Trisha Hendrickson

    If your website looks great but sales aren’t increasing, your leads aren’t converting, or your happy customers aren’t becoming repeat customers and referrals, the problem may not be one marketing tactic—it may be that the pieces of your business aren’t working together. In this episode of Be Locally Loved, Laura Capes Terry sits down with Trisha Hendrickson, founder and chief of big ideas at Moxie360 Marketing. With 35 years of marketing experience, Trisha shares a practical framework for understanding marketing as an interconnected puzzle, covering everything from positioning and digital foundations to sales, retention, reputation, legal considerations, and metrics. The conversation explores why attracting more leads isn't always the goal—attracting the right leads is. Trisha and Laura also discuss the importance of building authentic relationships, creating a friction-free customer experience, owning your customer data, using AI thoughtfully, and understanding what the numbers are actually telling you. At the heart of the conversation is a simple idea: marketing isn't something you can set and forget. Businesses change, customers change, technology changes, and the marketing strategy has to adapt. When the different pieces are aligned, marketing becomes part of a much bigger system that helps a business build trust, serve customers well, and grow. 💡 What You’ll Learn Why clarity and positioning are the first pieces of an effective marketing strategy—and why knowing who isn't your ideal client matters too.How your digital foundation—branding, website experience, SEO, Google Business Profile, analytics, and authentic content—supports everything else you do in marketing.Why relationships and visibility still matter in an increasingly digital world, including networking, public speaking, community involvement, and earned media.How to think about paid and owned channels as complementary parts of a larger marketing system rather than relying on a single channel.Why marketing and sales need to work together—and how a repeatable sales process, CRM, lead tracking, capacity, and KPIs can affect conversion.How friction in the customer journey can cost you sales, and why businesses need to meet customers where they are.Why onboarding and delivery are critical to building trust, retaining customers, and creating opportunities for referrals.Why business owners should pay attention to retention, referrals, reputation, legal considerations, and data instead of focusing only on acquiring new customers.🤝 Why This Conversation Matters This conversation is especially relevant for business owners who feel like they're doing everything “right” with their marketing but aren't seeing the results they expect. Instead of immediately adding another tactic, Trisha encourages business owners to step back, look at the entire system, and identify where the disconnect might be—from the first message someone sees to the sales process, customer experience, and follow-up. It's also a valuable conversation for anyone building a local business and trying to balance technology with genuine human connection. The discussion reinforces that strong communities are built through trust, relationships, service, and businesses that understand the people they serve. 🎧 Listen & Share Listen or watch the full episode, then share it with a business owner, community leader, or local entrepreneur who could use a fresh look at their marketing puzzle.

    021-Greg Torosian: Why Cybersecurity Matters for Every Small Business

    What happens when one click brings your business to a standstill? In this episode of Be Locally Loved, Laura Capes Terry shares her firsthand experience of being hacked after clicking a link that appeared to come from a trusted contact. Within minutes, she lost access to email, social media, software, and multiple devices. What followed was days and weeks of stress, lost productivity, password resets, device wipes, and rebuilding. Laura is joined by Greg Torosian, owner and president of TeamLogic IT of Round Rock, who has more than 25 years of technology leadership experience. Greg explains how attackers can exploit trusted relationships, SIM swapping, stolen credentials, and vulnerabilities across connected accounts and devices. The conversation goes beyond what happened to Laura and focuses on what business owners can do before an attack happens. Greg walks through practical layers of protection, including multi-factor authentication, authenticator apps, password managers, software updates, mobile device management, email threat protection, and secure network connections. For small businesses, cybersecurity isn't just about protecting data. A technology failure can mean lost time, lost productivity, lost access to critical systems, and potentially lost revenue. That makes prevention an important part of keeping local businesses—and the communities that depend on them—strong and resilient. 💡 What You’ll LearnWhy even a message from a trusted contact can become the starting point of a cyberattackHow a SIM swap can allow attackers to intercept SMS-based authentication codesWhy authenticator apps or passkeys can provide stronger protection than SMS-based MFAWhy you should never reuse the same password across multiple accountsHow a password manager can securely organize passwords and help with account recoveryWhy storing passwords in a computer file or browser can create additional security risksWhy keeping operating systems and apps updated is an important layer of protectionHow mobile device management and email threat protection can help identify and block malicious linksWhy businesses should consider layered security rather than relying on a single toolWhy preventative cybersecurity measures can be far less disruptive than recovering from a compromise🤝 Why This Conversation MattersSmall business owners are busy building their businesses, serving customers, and supporting their communities. Cybersecurity can easily become something they put off until something goes wrong. But as Laura's experience demonstrates, recovering from an attack can consume significant time, create enormous stress, and disrupt the ability to operate. This episode is especially valuable for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone whose business depends heavily on technology. The message is practical: security doesn't have to mean doing everything at once, but it does require taking reasonable steps before an incident happens. Protecting the technology behind a local business is ultimately another way of protecting the people, customers, and communities that business serves. 🎧 Listen & ShareWatch or listen to the full episode to hear Laura and Greg's conversation about cybersecurity, prevention, and the real cost of a business disruption.

    020-Kaylee Harcrow : What Customers Do Before They Buy: Building Trust in a Digital-First World

    🌟 Episode SummaryIn this episode of Be Locally Loved, Laura Capes Terry sits down with Kaylee Harcrow, a marketing strategist who works with small businesses in Georgetown. With a background in marketing, sales, social media, content creation, analytics, and local business marketing, Kaylee brings a practical perspective on how customers actually decide which businesses they can trust. Her experience working closely with small businesses gives her a firsthand understanding of the challenges owners face when trying to get noticed and turn awareness into real relationships. The conversation explores the often-overlooked journey customers take before making a purchase. Even when someone discovers a business through a recommendation or word of mouth, they will often search for it online, check reviews, visit the website, look at social media, and encounter multiple other touchpoints before deciding to act. Kaylee and Laura discuss why businesses need to think beyond the final Google search or website visit and recognize the "messy middle" where trust is gradually built. From maintaining an accurate Google Business Profile and building a clear, useful website to using AI thoughtfully and creating social content that feels human, the conversation is filled with practical advice. They also explore why word of mouth alone isn't a marketing strategy, why brand awareness is difficult to measure, how marketing budgets should be approached, and why local businesses need to build relationships before the moment a customer urgently needs them. At its heart, this episode is about becoming a trusted local resource rather than simply another business competing for attention. That connects directly to the mission of Be Locally Loved: helping people discover businesses and resources that contribute to stronger, more connected communities. 💡 What You’ll LearnWhy customers rarely make decisions after a single interaction — the journey can involve multiple touchpoints across Google, websites, social media, recommendations, local events, and other channels before someone is ready to buy.Why your Google presence is part of your brand — businesses should keep their Google Business Profile, photos, information, website links, and social profiles accurate and up to date.How to use AI without losing your authentic voice — Kaylee recommends using AI as a brainstorming and idea-generation tool, then bringing your own expertise, personality, and voice into the final content.What makes a website effective — keep it clear, professional, easy to navigate, focused on what the customer needs, and make the desired next step—such as calling or booking—easy to find and complete.Why business owners need control of their website — if someone else builds it, owners should still have access to the backend and control over their website and information.Why social media shouldn't be about going viral — trends can create attention, but meaningful content should help demonstrate expertise, show the real people behind the business, and build relationships with the right audience.Why word of mouth is only one piece of the customer journey — recommendations can create initial trust, but customers still tend to research the business through other touchpoints before deciding.Why businesses should build their reputation before customers urgently need them — consistent brand awareness and community presence can help a local business become the trusted choice before a high-pressure buying moment arrives.🤝 Why This Conversation MattersFor local businesses, being visible isn't enough. Customers are surrounded by information, advertising, social content, AI-generated material, and competing businesses. What matters is whether a business can create a consistent, credible presence that makes people feel confident enough to take the next step. Kaylee and Laura's conversation gives business owners practical ways to examine that experience from the customer's perspective. The episode is especially useful for small business owners, marketers, local entrepreneurs, and anyone involved in helping a community's businesses grow. It also reinforces an important idea behind Be Locally Loved: strong communities depend on businesses that don't simply sell to people, but consistently show up, provide value, build relationships, and become trusted parts of the places they serve. The episode's final advice is simple: Google yourself, review your website and social channels as if you were the customer, and make sure your online first impression is accurate, consistent, and trustworthy. 🎧 Listen & ShareListen or watch the full episode to hear Kaylee Harcrow and Laura Capes Terry unpack the customer journey, trust, marketing, and what it takes to become a truly trusted local business.
