    BTS: Good client, Bad client: A true story

    In this episode of The Audacious OBM Podcast, Leanne dives into the world of client management, contrasting two very different client experiences: Unrealistic Rachel and Light Me Up Lacey. Unrealistic Rachel is a nightmare client with unreasonable expectations, ever-changing demands, and a complete lack of self-awareness. Leanne details how Rachel micromanaged the process, made unrealistic demands on turnaround times, and never seemed satisfied with the work. This client ultimately resulted in Leanne questioning her own abilities and feeling burnt out. Light Me Up Lacey, on the other hand, is a dream client. Lacey was clear about her goals from the start, appreciated Leanne's expertise, and trusted her judgement. There was open communication, clear boundaries, and a mutual respect that fostered a successful collaboration. Leanne emphasizes the importance of finding clients who are a good fit, both in terms of personality and values. The episode concludes with a call to action, encouraging listeners to check out Leanne's challenge to learn how to attract more ideal clients.

    Launch managing like a boss: 4 core roles OBMs play in online launches

    Hey there, OBMs! This episode is all about launch management, diving deep into the nitty-gritty of that all important launch. The episode dives into 4 core roles that OBMs play in online launch management: managing the team, coordinating tasks, being the keeper of time, and being the talent whisperer. Let's unpack these roles: 1. Managing the Team: As an OBM launch manager, you're the quarterback, responsible for a crew of people including copywriters, designers, ads managers, assistants, web developers, and marketers. You'll need to delegate tasks, provide clear briefs, and keep everyone on the same page. 2. Coordinating Tasks: Launching requires a complex dance of many moving parts. You'll be the maestro, ensuring all the tasks are broken down, assigned, and completed on time. This includes pre-launch events, sales pages, social media marketing, customer support, and tech integration. 3. Being the Keeper of Time: Think of yourself as a juggler, keeping all the balls (tasks) in the air and meeting deadlines. You'll create a launch timeline, factoring in dependencies between tasks and ensuring everyone has enough buffer time to avoid a last-minute scramble. 4. Being the Talent Whisperer: Your client, the star of the show, can get stressed during the emotional rollercoaster of a launch. You'll be the calming presence, the voice of reason, and the one to gently guide them through the ups and downs. Let's dive deeper into each role!  Are you ready?  Hit play and listen in as Leanne shares her insight into the realm of launch management!
