So how can you make sure that you end each week on a high, knowing you have done your utmost to grow your business? There is article upon article on the subject of, “what do successful people do every day”. I’m not going to go into that…. But what I will go into is this subject…. What daily habits can you embed that will ensure your momentum breeds more and more success? Well here’s our approach. 1. Your BUSINESS RESULTS: How is your business Sales & Marketing performing? Choose a different area to look at each day. Here’s some ideas on what you could review: Google Analytics: where is your traffic coming from? How long are people staying there for? Where are …

Get your violins out….. I’ve been really poorly this week. I can’t remember the last time this happened, where I was too poorly to come into work. I was sick, headachey, sweaty, hot, cold, sick again. It was then that I realised how very LUCKY I am to have the right team around me. You see, three weeks ago, Claire Payne joined the business as my new Marketing Director, and she’s been like a duck to water; pulling together Marketing Plans, running training sessions, and coming up with fantastic new ideas – most of which we are running with. It’s been sooooo refreshing that I have been able to hand things over to Claire – and whilst I have been poorly, she has swooped in and taken over. I said to Mr V, “what if I didn’t have Claire… what would …

If you REALLY want Facebook to work for you, then you need to build great relationships with your audience, and show them how much you are able to enhance their lives. That’s where the TRUST comes from. And this is the surest way to generate leads – from those people that KNOW, LIKE and TRUST you. Those that have had repeatedly good interactions with you and your brand. But here’s the issue: Only a VERY small percentage of people that follow your page will actually see your posts. I’m talking less than ten percent through organic reach (organic reach means you haven’t paid for people to see it). “Whaaaaaaat?” I hear you say. Let me explain….. With the amount of traffic circulating Facebook, the algorithms have to play a major part in deciding exactly what people see. Sadly, that means that your content …

**With Free Facebook Planning Toolkit** So… how do I get more likes on my Facebook Page. It’s a question I am asked repeatedly. So I thought I would tackle it here. If you have read our article on why you should grow your Facebook likes then you’ll know that your organic reach is going to suffer if you only have a small number of followers – and this will impact the number of leads you get from Facebook. Sooooooo here’s what to do about it. Remembering that Facebook is all about the user experience, I would suggest you start here. 1. Take a look at your Facebook Insights Find a post that you have had GREAT engagement on. It could be a video or simply a good post. If you don’t have one? Think about a video, post, or image that you …

We popped to our local for the England semi-final this week. It was really busy…. With all of us that don’t bother to follow football all year round out in force to join the hardcore footie fans! Claire and Jade were with me too… the All Star Team…. And my lovely dad. He spent most of the game feeding us messages of what was going on in the match We sipped our fizz and nodded along in agreement, like the little Churchill dog. We were all happy with the score at half time, and indulged in the free hot dogs. But in the end, hopes and dreams were dashed as it all fell apart in the second half, and of course, in extra time. So here’s the thing… Clearly, the England boys had a dream. They had a vision of …

Love it or hate it, it’s got the Nation talking. You can’t go onto Social Media, watch TV or pick up a magazine without seeing the “Love Islanders” faces, and the latest news and antics from the Villa! If you’re not watching Love Island, here’s the name of the game… Cohabit with a bunch of strangers Get someone to fall in love with you (or a relationship at least!) Keep hold of them until the end of the show Be in with a chance of winning £50,000. (You can “crack on” – as they say – and find out more here!). The problem is, there’s not much loyalty going on! Some of those kids are jumping from one bed to another with no shame. This is exactly what we don’t want when it comes to our business. If you want to …
