    How often should you send emails to prospects? 







    There’s no one-size-fits-all rule for how often you should send marketing materials to potential clients, but the key is to make sure the material you send is relevant, interesting and hits a topic of interest.  







    With email, you can tailor the content to fit each recipient’s needs, interests and expectations, making it even more effective. You can also track the success of your campaigns and learn from the data what works and what doesn’t. This allows you to adjust your strategy on the fly so you can reach your prospects in the most effective way possible.  







    Email also allows you to build relationships with your prospects over time.  







    You can send newsletters with tips and advice, invitations to webinars and other events, or even special offers and discounts. All of these can help to build trust and familiarity between you and your prospects.  







    Finally, email allows you to target very specific audiences. You can segment your list by location, job title, company size, and other demographic data to ensure your messages are seen by the right people. This way, you can be sure you’re reaching the right audience and that your marketing materials are having the greatest impact.  







    How has the postal strike affected your marketing strategy? 







    The success of any business hinges on effective marketing.

    Why did you decide to build your first product? 







    At michaelcrane.live, we’re all about helping entrepreneurs reach their dreams, so when we heard about Finn’s journey, we had to share it. Finn is an inspiring entrepreneur who has built a product from the ground up, and it all started when he discovered a gap in the market at the Muay Thai training gym he attended. 







    Finn’s love for Muay Thai Boxing and his enthusiasm for starting his own business gave him the drive to build his first product. He knew there was an opportunity to fill the gap in the market, and he seized it. Through careful research and sourcing, Finn was able to create a product that was tailored to the specific needs of his Muay Thai gym. 







     His passion for Muay Thai and his business savvy enabled him to spot an opportunity in the market, and he was able to use his knowledge of the industry to create a product that fulfilled the needs of his customers. With his eye for detail and his ability to source quality materials, Finn was able to create a product that was both high quality and affordable. 







     Finn’s story is an inspiring one for any entrepreneur looking to break into the market and create something from scratch. It’s a reminder that success often starts with an idea and that passion, determination and hard work can turn an idea into a market-leading product. 







     We celebrate those who take the plunge and create something from nothing. Finn’s story proves that with the right idea and enough hard work, anyone can make their dreams a reality. We’re so proud of Finn and his success, and we can’t wait to see what he does next. 







    How did you find your supplier in the UK?

    After a few phone calls and emails, he had gathered a shortlist of four potential suppliers. he understands the importance of selecting a reliable and trustworthy supplier, especially when language barriers exist.  







    That’s why I took the initiative to research and establish contact with the suppliers on my list.

    What did we learn from the mistake of a previous decision?







    It is all too easy to make a great decision, and the outcome is exactly what was wanted; however, it only sometimes works out in the way we intended, and sometimes the business decision is disastrous. If you have made many terrible decisions in business, let me tell you, you are definitely not alone. One way we learn from our mistakes is by deciding after the event what worked, because more times than not, a poor decision was not all bad; there would be some of the events that were all right, but the end result was not the intended success.







    How do we learn for next time?







    One of the best ways to learn from a previous poor decision is to make notes and decide what didn’t work before, so you can do less and, on the other, what did work and do more. We are often away in the moment of triumph or defeat and forget the good and the bad when a similar event comes our way next time.  







    It’s essential to take the time to reflect and think about your overall outcome. It’s vital to be conscious and analyse yourself at the moment. Sitting on your hands and taking the time to consider the consequences of your decisions is invaluable. Taking this time to evaluate yourself and your choices is an essential step in ensuring you reach your desired outcome. 







    Seek wise Council and ask for help along the way  







    Who do you have in your network of people that you value their opinion and trust? It must be part of your process to go and seek advice and guidance from someone who is not financially or personally associated with the circumstances of the decision,
