In today's fast-paced and technology-driven workplace, managers are constantly seeking innovative ways to support their employees' career development and maximize the impact of their 1:1 meetings. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool that can assist managers in achieving these goals. By leveraging AI-powered solutions, managers can gain valuable insights, facilitate personalized discussions, and provide tailored guidance to their team members. In this blog post, we will explore how managers can harness the potential of AI to develop their employees and have more effective 1:1s. We will also provide specific prompts that you can ask an AI language model like Chat GPT to enhance your 1:1 interactions and empower your employees' career growth.

We love systems and tools (surprise, surprise). We’re always upgrading a process, trying out new tools that we think will benefit our team, and generally seeing what’s helpful and ends up sticking long-term. In doing so, we’ve accumulated a small staple collection of tools that massively benefit our team productivity and communication, which are two of the most important aspects of managing a team.

Stepping into our roles as not only managers but leaders, learning how members of our team work best, how they prefer to communicate, and ensuring that we have the necessary tools to aid in that has served us and our team members so well.

There are 10 tools that are our absolute couldn’t-live-without-them favorites, and we’re so excited to share them with you today! If you don’t adopt some of these exact tools for your team, hopefully the goal behind them inspires you to create something similar.

We think hiring a business coach is one of the best decisions you can make for your business (we might be a tad bit biased 😜). But having someone who can help you with your business’s ups and downs is great for your sanity and for getting actionable advice to help you uplevel your business.

In this blog, we’re talking about three reasons why you need a business coach. And here’s the thing, we’re talking to all you established business owners out there because, from our experience, you could use someone in your corner.

What we often see in the service-based industry is after 6-figures have been reached (sometimes multiple 6-figures), service providers will try to replace their current offer with something completely brand new. We know this is super tempting, especially when you’ve reached the point where you’ve started to tap out of what you can personally do within your business.

However, pricing is one of your greatest opportunities for expansion, especially when you can work with fewer people and make more money. While many may acknowledge price shifts over time, they aren’t seeing premium pricing as an opportunity to grow their team.

If there’s one thing that can make or break a service-based business, it’s the experience you provide for your clients. Not only is the client experience crucial to making sure your clients are happy, leave great testimonials, refer you to others, and possibly come back for repeat business, but also perfecting your client experience allows you to sell the heck out of it in your marketing message.

Your client experience doesn’t just span from the first interaction to when you start working with them. It also includes your off boarding process and how you treat them once they’ve finished working with you. But how can you still nurture these relationships even after the project is all said and done? There are three simple yet powerful ways you can do so, and that’s what we’re going to cover in this post!

We think congratulations are in order! Since you’ve come to this blog post, that must mean you’re doing something right with your marketing, so we’re proud of you for getting to the point where you’re now officially overbooked. Although it’s stressful, this is a stage in your business that can open so many doors and opportunities that you’ve probably only been dreaming about until now!

First, though, we need to deal with the overwhelm and figure out how you can free up space on your calendar so that you can give your undivided attention to your clients, plus what to do with new leads. Keep reading as we cover all of these things and more in this blog post!

The client experience is one of the most– if not the most– important aspects of any business, whether service- or product-based. It’s one thing to perform your services or create your products well. Obviously we want to be exceptional in our craft and provide a great outcome for our audience.

But it’s a whole other piece of the puzzle to take into consideration how your clients feel working with you. What’s their experience like? What do they feel when they first learn about you through your social posts or website? How easy are you making things for them? How trusted do they feel that you’re taking care of them?

All of these points are crucial for repeat business, positive testimonials, referrals to more potential clients/customers, selling the experience, and eventually scaling your business. The cold hard facts are that people remember negative experiences with a business and use those to influence their next decision (a.k.a. running away) more than they do the positive ones.

We’ve learned a thing or two about client experience from our years of being service providers then transitioning to digital products, so we’re here to share our knowledge on how to create a premium client experience!

We know how much goes into creating an offer, wrapping it up, and getting it ready to officially present to the world, so we’re proud of you for pulling through. Now that you’ve had it out there for a while and have been nurturing your audience, you’re probably coming up on the need to relaunch it.

If you’re like, “Hold the phone! ‘Relaunch?’” Yes! What, you thought you could just launch your product once and that’s it? Unfortunately, as heavenly as that sounds, that’s not a very effective way to keep making money. No need to worry, though, because we just so happen to have relaunched probably more times than we’ve ordered from Starbucks (and that’s saying a lot).

With that said, we want to show you how to confidently relaunch so you can keep improving your offer and converting prospects into buyers!

You inevitably have to constantly talk about your offer in order to keep it top of mind with your audience. After all, according to the rule of 7, someone needs to see or hear your marketing message seven times before they finally purchase from you. That seems like a lot, right?

Well, talking about your offer doesn’t always have to mean you’re directly promoting it 24/7. There are other ways to indirectly promote your offer without driving your people away (because it’s almost guaranteed you’ll lose followers or list subscribers if all you’re doing is selling to them).

Keep reading as we dive into how to talk about your offer without wearing out your audience!
