–How AI and ChatGpt Can Help a Business, and How it will not help a Business.
–The best way to capture the attention of your website visitors
–How can taking a “word first” approach improve your marketing.
Bio and Information:
Matt Banker is the founder and lead strategist at Benchmark GrowthMarketing, a marketing agency specifically for B2B accounting firms. Matt started designing and building websites at a small agency, and he grew frustrated that there wasn’t a better way to create content for a website. It didn’t make sense to ask the client to decide what the site should say. After all, they weren’t marketing experts. Super smart people often have the most trouble translating their thoughts into words that the rest of us can understand. This tendency carries through to business owners and how they try to market their companies.
Matt brings a ‘words first’ approach to marketing because his superpower is the ability to help business owners communicate moreclearly. He works with executive teams and marketing teams to build alignment and buy-in so everyone is rowing in the same direction. These days Matt focuses his efforts on serving a narrow niche: accounting firms. With a background in fine arts, he is the Yin to the number-cruncher’s Yang. He helps them build marketing engines that work to grow their firms.

–How did Lawrence and Desk Plant start in the promotional product world?
–Why did Lawrence decide to focus on being a promotional products supplier?
–What is the process to create sustainable and socially responsible promotional products?
–Why should we consider higher-value promotional productions?
–How not to kill an indoor plant
Bio and Information:
Lawrence Hanley started Desk Plants in 2018 as a consumer brand, which grew substantially throughout 2019, resulting in the opening of a brick-and-mortar store heading into 2020. However, when the pandemic hit and the government imposed lockdowns, the business suffered, and bills continued to pile up. Lawrence was in a difficult situation, and in a do-or-die moment, he decided to pivot the business model completely to save it. This transition led to the creation of a niche promotional products supplier, which allowed the business to not only survive but thrive.
Through this experience, Lawrence discovered that he had a talent for finding popular products and rethinking their value proposition to appeal to a new market of buyers. He has since honed this skill and considers it a valuable asset to his business. Lawrence continues to improve upon this skill, and is passionate about finding new ways to grow and develop his business.

–Why do businesses need to have a system for sales?
–How can you get over rejection in sales?
–How can we attract our ideal clients?
Bio and Information:
**Rosalind was a teacher for 30 years. I finally decided to bet on myself, so I decided to become a business owner. I was great as a leadership consultant, but there was one problem. I was not good at sales. In fact, I hated it. I dawdled for the longest until it was clear that I either learn how to sell or go back to teaching. I got professionally trained in sales. It was a game changer. I learned how to use a sales system. I worked on my mindset and best practices.
The first time I used the system with Chick-fil-A I closed business with them, and then one business after another. Once I saw I could make a consistent income, I was thrilled. I changed my training business and started teaching other entrepreneurs how to be effective in sales. I have taught scores of people how to provide a great service and enjoy great pay. If a teacher like me who hated sales can become proficient in it, you can be, too. When I am not working you'll find me traveling, reading and blowing bubble with my grandsons.**

GUEST INFO:
In a world where dreams are crushed, souls are forgotten, and rust never sleeps, Josh Zepess (the Identity Archaeologist) is on a mission to ensure talented solopreneurs turn every business first impression into a second impression (where the sale happens!) by raising their ROC - Return on Conversation - so they can profit more without grinding more.
After decades on the corporate farm as a shy, introverted engineer, he realized that the cubicle could no longer contain him. So he escaped. It was a rocky road through entrepreneurship in the financial and gym industries until he finally stopped ignoring his genius. Now he plays in it, profitably, every day.
When he's not digging for business gold, he flies airplanes, brews beer, runs long-distance obstacle course races, and sets the bar low as a semi-professional comedian (not the funny kind!)

--What does influence mean to you? Is there such a thing as guaranteed influence?
--Do you have a story behind your products & services?
--What is the power of great storytelling?
GUEST INFO:
Robert Kennedy III, RK3, didn't know he liked to speak...yet he always found himself in the position to do so...at church (he's a PK), at school (ended up being a teacher for a while), with music groups (formed, led and recorded) and in business (started several businesses). What he has ALWAYS loved is technology. He once took apart a radio just to see if he could put it back together. He got it back together but it was never the same. Oh well, he was just 11.
The technology, the speaking and even the radio came together eventually as his background includes time as a news anchor, classroom teacher and technology trainer. Now, he works with business leaders who need to connect with their teams, especially on video. He shows them how to connect using storytelling as a tool. When he's not doing storytelling work, he's probably dabbling with something in his home studio, or hitting a ball of some sort.

Are you a small business who is looking for better results for your next trade show? I recently had fun conversation with Jim Cermak, Professor and Host of Trade Show University Podcast. We discuss tips for exhibiting at trade shows, and how small businesses can get in front of their dream customers by being at the right show.
In-Person,Virtual or Hybrid Trade show?
Jim enjoys in-person because that is were we can really connect with the audience & attendees, and it is hard to take someone our to dinner virtually. However, almost all of the in-person trade show came to a haul due the pandemic, a lot of companies switched hosting virtual trade show and saw a tone of great momentum there as well.
A Hybrid Trade Show is a mixed of In-person & virtual experience. A company can reach a bigger audience whom might not be able to attend in person, but would love to attend the event virtually. This new method is popular among B2B event and business networking mixers.
Benefits for exhibiting at a trade showHere are 3 benefits for small businesses
5 Key elements to ensure a productive trade show experience

Why is it important to know your target market and audience?
Our guest for this episode of The Small Business Show is Tim Fitzpatrick, President at Rialto Marketing . He pointed out that businesses don't have unlimited budgets for marketing, so instead of marketing to "everyone", businesses need to be focused. It allows much better direction and higher chances of reaching the best prospects.
Identify the profitable clients
We need to look at our current client base and find out which of our clients and projects are more profitable. A business is not going to stay in business if we are not working with profitable clients. Once they are identified we can start looking at the demographics & psychographics.
Connecting with your ideal clients
As a business owner make sure to invest time in at least 3 different areas to get in front of the ideal clients, such as joining trade associations, attending networking events, social media campaigns or news articles which the ideal clients will be reading.
Finding Your Ideal Target Audience and the 90 Day Marketing Plan
According to Tim, here are the 6 questions to answer:

Haylee Kalani is our guest for this episode of The Small Business Show.
Find our why it is important to train your creative muscle, and how to get our content marketing plan organized and batch our content creation.
Haylee is a big fan of experimenting - she urges listeners to get out of our comfort zone and try something sort of “weird” and take risks in marketing. She also recommends testing different content types to see what works best.
For business owners and marketers, Haylee explains that it is important to create content about a brand’s values and find a niche that represents your business. Keep it focus and specified.
Don’t miss this great conversation, listen or watch the videos thanks!
GUEST INFO:
When Haylee found out that becoming an astronaut (her childhood dream) involved a LOT of math... that's when she decided to move her love of curiosity & creativity in a different direction and found some missing links along the way.
She found that too many mission-driven professionals struggle to generate income through their content online & really connect with their core community.
Creating content has been her specialty since she was a kid, snagging her parents' bulky video camera and making some rad music videos.
While growing up, taking on, and beating, Aplastic Anemia (a life-threatening autoimmune disease), Haylee had the chance to experience life in a new light.
The whole experience itself taught her to never settle for less & to live life as if there’s no tomorrow…
So she sought out to follow her passion and use her unique gifts to disrupt the current state of "typical marketing" and help brands create more impact and innovation in the world.
She turns business owners, soloprenuers, and freelancers, into out-of-the-box thinkers, innovative creators, and adaptive players in this game we call marketing.
So they can generate vast attention & earn more revenue for their brand to do what they do best.
Help. More. People.

Writing a book can boost your business, but you have to write the right book. We'll discuss what that is and how it can boost your business and income. A book might be about you but it's not for you. It must be written for the reader. And in terms of publishing, she explains why self-publishing is the best choice for most small business owners.
Julie Broad, founder of self-publishing services firm Book Launchers and Amazon Overall #1 Best Selling Author, knows what it takes to successfully self-publish a book. Her popular YouTube channel, BookLaunchers.TV, embodies the hashtag of #noboringbooks helping nonfiction authors write and market books people want to read.
Julie’s titles include More than Cashflow, which topped Amazon, The New Brand You, and her latest book, Self-Publish & Succeed. A recognized real estate investor, successful entrepreneur, and notable speaker, Julie also received the Top 20 under 40 Award for her business and community contributions. She’s been speaking on stages across Canada and the US since 2009, sharing her strategies to write a book that builds your business and have more impact and influence with your brand.
Born and raised in Canada, Julie currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and son. When she’s not busy with Book Launchers or her family, you’ll find her at CrossFit or playing poker.

Do you want to deliver a better virtual presentation? With more business professionals using zoom as their go-to platform for meetings, we all need to up our virtual presentation game.
Trevor had developed a 7P of presenting model to help business professionals achieve presenting success:
Trevor suggested practicing your presentation and a good way to do it virtually is to record your presentation via zoom. Practice can get you into the “flow” of the presentation, and you should only limit yourself to 80-85% of the presentation of the time allowed.
Begin your slides with the point of view of the target audience, Simplify your presentation and don’t put too much information on each slide. Instead of dumping the information from your company, think about entertaining the audience and provide solutions to their problems.
When you are presenting you are the focus of your presentation, not the slides. The slides are there to assist your presentation but they shouldn’t take away the focus of your presentation. Start with a word or one image and try not to read off from the slides. Think of powerpoints as a prompt but not a script. Ask yourself “do I really slide”?
GUEST INFO:
Trevor has over 35 years of business experience at senior manager / director level and uses his revenue generation and overall commercial experience to help businesses grow sales, deliver better presentations and win more sales pitches.
For 2 days a month Trevor fills a gap for growing businesses that don’t have a sales or commercial director.
Trevor also runs sales and presenting training and coaching programs, has just launched an online presentation course, is working on a book - the 7P’s of Presenting - and every Monday broadcasts the ‘Better Presentations More Sales’ podcast.
And in amongst all of this Trevor is training for his 44@60 challenge. This is a 44 mile run on May 22nd 2021 on the Cornish Coastal path in the UK. He’s aiming to raise £100 / mile for the local Children’s Hospice Music Therapy programme.

Our guest for this Episode of The Small Business Show is Marcy Rye from, Founder & CEO Wire Media.
How do you create a beautiful, functional and SEO-optimized website? Why is accessibility becoming an important part of website design? Marcy talked us through the best practices for a small business website. She also explained how a DIY, freelance designer and design firm approach differs in building a website.
According to Marcy, clients are often worried about getting all the content ready for a website redesign project (it's a lot of work, usually). She helps them to prioritize based on what we need to keep the design process moving forward, and provides templates and schedules to help keep them on track.
When clients often give her direction to change something on a website, such as, "make the button larger". She would always ask them what is the problem they're trying to solve. Most of them are relieved to learn that if they just tell her the problem they see, she can come up with cost-effective, user-friendly ways to solve them and they don't have to try to figure it out.
Lastly, clients aren't sure what a website should cost and so list all kinds of features and requirements for their site. She helps them again to prioritize what's really necessary based on their internal strategic goals as well as user goals and objectives (often by doing user research or testing). This also takes stakeholder personal opinions out of the equation, making for a smooth process.

Suzanne Tulien is a #branding expert, she suggests that we need to develop our branding first, to have a clear message before we should spend time and effort on marketing.
She defined what a brand is and why it is so important for businesses and solopreneurs?
Lots of missed opportunities for brands to get the clarity they need to stand out and create competitive advantage by better understanding who they are and how they authentically deliver on their promise. So many businesses are quick to market their products and services without doing the deeper work on who they are as a brand. This creates a shallow relationship with their markets, and weakens the ability to retain a solid customer base, as well as a connected, productive culture.
With over two and a half decades of strategic communication, employee brand engagement, and internal brand development, Suzanne’s inside-out brand-building strategy creates the clarity and actions necessary for her clients to drive consistency, distinction, and advocacy long-term. Because her Brand DNA approach is radically different, she is paving the way companies and personal brands elevate their value position and actually reduce marketing costs while growing marketshare.
As author of The 6 Myths of Small Business Branding and co-author of Brand DNA; Uncover Your Organization’s Genetic Code to Competitive Advantage, also published in China, and her latest book Personal Brand Clarity; Identify, Define, & Align to What You Want to Be Known For…she is helping to pave the transformational highway to grow by conscious, strategic design; not by DEFAULT!

Our guest for this episode of The Small Business Show is Tammy Alverson. She is a digital marketing expert and in this episode she has let us in on some great tips for successful marketing in 2021.
In talking with Tammy I noticed that she is full of experience and great ideas. As many new businesses are formed as a result of the pandemic. She has suggestions for both new and experienced entrepreneurs. First, always surround yourself with experts. It will help you stay focused in your own business when leaving tasks to other professionals. When much business is conducted online, make sure your website is updated and ready. Google is coming out with updates in March and May and they will be game-changing!
If you are ready to hire an agency, or marketer for your marketing efforts. Ask for full transparency. Ask them to pull up live reports of a few clients (with the clients' permission of course) to show you their results (NEVER accept PDF's that might have been altered) and ask them to explain how they succeeded and where they failed. Also, ask for detailed written and verbal explanations of how they will achieve results for your business. Make sure they understand your business and 'feel' like a fantastic fit for your business and run far, far, far away from marketers promising to get you 'instant' results.
Here are some of Tammy's best ideas for digital marketing in 2021
Voice/Visual search marketing
Video marketing
Calendar Marketing
Product listing ads
Personalized marketing
Twitter marketing (they are partnered with Google)
Pinterest for visual or creative type businesses
Creating and growing communities
Live streams
Creating FAQs for your services or products along with an FAQ page on your site

Our guest for this episode of The Small Business Show is Brent Basha, founder of Poddit.net
In 2014 Brent had an epiphany. As a father and tech enthusiast, he realized we were standing at a very unique point in history. We were the last digital immigrants charged with raising the first digital natives. But with everything changing so fast, there was no road map to follow. So he did what anyone would do in his position... he grabbed a co-host and started a podcast. Digital Dads lasted nearly three years and left a lasting impact on both him and his listeners.
After the show ended, Brent realized the challenge of guest discovery, connection, and coordination had yet to be solved. Or at least not in the way he envisioned. So with a background in technology he set out to create a better solution. As co-founder Brent is now working to help make Poddit the best way to connect for podcast interviews.

Dylan suggests to show your value, and stop hiding behind low prices. It is easy to lower pricing to attract more customers, but a business might back itself into a corner and not be able to find the ideal customer they are looking for.
Finding the ideal customers for your business.
As simple as giving your current customers a call. Find out why they purchased from you and the reasons they chose the specific products/services. Then use those answers to reach out for prospective customers who might have similar problems, and find those values your company has that will help them.

Our guest for this episode of The Small Business Show is Brenda Mendez. She is a branding and marketing strategist.
We spoke about traditional vs digital marketing, and Brenda suggested the trends favored digital marketing because of all the analytical tools and feedback a marketer can receive from each platform. Instead of using a widespread marketing approach and market to “everyone”, Brenda challenged to have a focus approach. Find out which social media platforms are most popular among your target audience, and create content that is catered to those audiences.
Before setting out with a marketing campaign a company needs to have a branding strategy in place. For example, having the right color guidelines and placements for logos. This way all of the posts are on brand and the audience can relate and connect better with the brand message.
One of the key to successful branding strategy is building a community surrounding the brand. Engage the audience and encourage them to share their experiences. This form of communication can build trust and increase the visibility of the brand.
Guest info:
Brenda graduated from Arizona State University debt-free in just 3 years from the business school and landed what she taught was her dream job; the biggest accountant firm in the world, Deloitte. She soon realized that was not the path she envisioned for herself and went on to work for a local marketing agency where she found a deeper passion for helping entrepreneurs with marketing. Brenda was part of the initiation of Snow; a premium line of oral care products where she helped grow it from $0 to a 9 figure multimillion-dollar e-commerce brand in just 4 years. She learned how to grow multiple teams, developed award-winning products, lead partnerships with A-list celebrities like the Kardashians and helped launch the products in major retailers like Target and Neiman Marcus. She since then stepped down as COO and now serves as partner and advisor to Snow. Brenda has ventured out on her own to consult the next big startups in e-commerce and helps other brands with branding from a genuine passion in business and people.

In this episode of The Small Business Show we welcome back Michael Castiglione from Sandler Training.
Mike is going to go through the concept of KARE (Keep, Attain, Recapture and Expand). #KARE helps salespeople by giving them simple guidelines for segmenting their accounts into four different groups. This is an important, often-ignored starting point, because different sales opportunities are driven by different objectives, and they require different levels of prioritization and different strategies.

Small businesses put a lot of efforts in their sales and marketing, try out different promotion techniques to drive traffic to their business. However, most businesses don't have any procedure or training in customer service.
According to Vivian the lack of customer service (or worse, horrible customer service) is the number one reason why most businesses lose their customers. She suggested to read the cue from the customers face to face so you can serve them better.
With the advance in technologies Vivian still believes that human interaction is the key to success in customer service, and keeping happy, repeat customers is a much better way to grow your business.
