In this episode of The DoneMaker Podcast, we sit down with Marci Araki to uncover why traditional job shadowing fails, why "forced fun" is ruining remote culture, and the 4-step feedback framework every leader needs to know In this highly actionable episode of The DoneMaker Podcast, I am joined by Marci Araki, the Chief Learning Officer at Clearest Course Consulting. She helps companies align learning strategies with business and performance needs. We break down the massive difference between onboarding and training. We also explore why watching someone do the work is a passive activity that leaves new hires overwhelmed and lacking context. Whether you are a business owner, a manager, or building a remote team, this episode gives you the exact blueprint to stop relying on videos as a one-size-fits-all solution and start giving feedback that actually drives results In this episode, you will learn: - Why the best onboarding is about relationship building and organizational culture, not just knowledge and skills.- The negative impact of scheduled informality and "forced fun" in a remote workplace.- How to work backwards from your vision of success to design effective training.- A powerful 4-step framework for delivering constructive feedback: Empathy, Specificity, Impact, and Positivity.- The immense value of letting your team make mistakes and how to properly debrief their thought process. First impressions count, especially when it comes to employee onboarding. Making new hires feel excited and valued from day one is crucial for their long-term satisfaction and integration into the workplace culture. This goes beyond typical employee training, focusing on a positive initial experience that sets the tone for their journey.

    Your Consent Forms Are Worthless Without This

    Get clients from LinkedIn: https://tidycal.com/donemaker-sales/donemaker-referall-call Free Resources to build a sales pipeline: https://donemaker.vista.page/ --------------------------------- Scott Heistand, CEO of FormClue, reveals the compliance nightmare killing businesses quietly: Most companies are one lawsuit away from disaster when buying and calling leads. Here's what keeps business owners up at night, data brokers are selling your leads to unlisted companies, consent forms are missing critical language, and predatory law firms are sending demand letters for $10K+ hoping you'll just pay up. Even worse? You can be liable for bot-filled forms. Scott's been sued 8 times and fought back each time by proving he did it right. FormClue records every form submission, timestamps consent language, and stores proof for 5 years. One simple question when buying leads changes everything: "Can you send me your compliance documentation and form language?" #LeadGeneration #ComplianceMeetsGrowth #DataProtection #B2BMasters #SalesCompliance #DoneMakerPodcast --------------------------------- Guest’s contacts: Email: scott.h@formclue.io Book a call: calendly.com/formclue --------------------------------- ABOUT DONEMAKER: Make easy business decisions by filling your sales funnel with LinkedIn Organic Outreach.

    The Marketing Game Has Changed: Your AI Underperforms, do this instead

    Get clients from LinkedIn: https://tidycal.com/donemaker-sales/donemaker-referall-call Free Resources to build a sales pipeline: https://donemaker.vista.page/ ---------------------------------Jason Hunt, fractional CMO and co-founder of Merged Media, just revealed why most businesses are failing with LinkedIn and AI. Jason breaks down the CRIT Method for prompt engineering, why personalized AI (loaded with your brand voice, personality tests, and transcripts) outperforms generic bots, and the single biggest mistake agencies make: blindly copying AI outputs without strategy. Business owners must personalize their artificial intelligence strategies to truly connect with customers. While fewer businesses are using AI, personalized AI tools significantly outperform generic content, leading to much better customer engagement. Focusing on human-centered marketing in your digital marketing efforts, even with AI integration, is key for effective content creation. Plus: Why Meta retargeting is criminally underutilize, how to build real authority with Local SEO in 3-4 weeks (not 6 months), and the exact framework that's bringing clients qualified leads through organic LinkedIn outreach. #LinkedInMarketing #MarketingStrategy #FractionalCMO #B2BLeadGen #AITools #ContentStrategy #LocalSEO --------------------------------- Guest’s contacts: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/socialmediaspeaker/ Website: https://merged.ca/ --------------------------------- ABOUT DONEMAKER: Make easy business decisions by filling your sales funnel with LinkedIn Organic Outreach.
