    Email Management Software For Customer Support?

    Interesting. I thought ActiveCampaign was just for email marketing. So it actually has an customer support email management software too. I'm fine with a "unified" inbox, I just don't want VAs being so unified that they are able to access other VAs conversations/emails with their respective...

    How To Price Multi-Month Packages? (Eg. 3 Month, 6 Month, etc)

    MARKETING 
    Good point. I'm honestly going for 100 retainer clients by the end of the year. The amount of them that end up not cancelling is another question. I'll likely increase to $1,500/mo which is still affordable. An extra $500 isn't going to kill them (even the beginners who I was originally...

    Email Management Software For Customer Support?

    I have multiple VAs handling Customer Support/Account Management. Each VA handles 4 clients at a time. I want to have one "[email protected]" email for customers to send emails to. However, I don't want all of my VAs seeing each other's emails and each other's clients' emails for...

    How To Price Multi-Month Packages? (Eg. 3 Month, 6 Month, etc)

    MARKETING 
    Thanks @Kid Yes, I'm happy to increase it to $1,500/mo as mentioned. Looks like I'll do a 5%-15% discount for the 2 long term packages I'm debating one last thing now: Since the $1,000/mo offer is selling very well and generating me lots of leads... For the 1 month only - Should I charge...

    How To Price Multi-Month Packages? (Eg. 3 Month, 6 Month, etc)

    MARKETING 
    I run an online service based business. Currently, I charge $1,000/mo and make roughly a 65% gross margin. However, I'm now doing 3 important NEW things: 1) Hiring a Commission-Only Closer to close my deals for me for 20%-25% commission for all upfront deal value (eg. he closes a 6 month...

    How To Handle Paying Multiple Remote Staff & Managing Finances?

    Just messaged you. I completely agree with you. I'll be switching to monthly and likely do #1 in your suggested options. To be honest, I've been so laser-focused on growth/hiring in my business that I don't even have an accounting software (Eg. QuickBooks) set up yet. I'll be ditching...

    How To Handle Paying Multiple Remote Staff & Managing Finances?

    To paint a picture of my remote team - I have 2 Philippines based VAs + 2 US-Based Commission Based Closers + 2 US-Based Marketers. And growing. My clients pay once every 30 days (Subscription Based). I guess I can just switch everything to monthly payments and pay my staff at the end of...

    How To Handle Paying Multiple Remote Staff & Managing Finances?

    Any processors/apps you suggest? I'm also in Vancouver, Canada if that helps regarding taxes, etc. Although, I don't think I need to pay any taxes if I'm paying a subcontractor overseas. Both of you have a good point. I think semi-monthly would work for my team. I can handle the payment...

    RECESSION-PROOF Business Models?

    HOT! 
    I get the feeling that most biz owners go into survival mode during a recession (My marketing agency clients have told me their clients are pausing campaigns eg. local biz owners especially due to C0VlD-19). I suppose that's a COVID issue & not a recession issue. Sounds like it just depends...

    RECESSION-PROOF Business Models?

    HOT! 
    Therefore, it sounds like agencies need to target niches mentioned in this thread (ones that are "recession-proof) instead of targeting niches that only thrive during the tide as you mentioned. I think a majority of businesses (based on your 3 bullet points) would fall into the survive, not...

    RECESSION-PROOF Business Models?

    HOT! 
    Interesting Andy. In that case - What's your opinion on the DIgital Marketing Agency industry as a whole during the recession? I would think that agencies would lose $ if the businesses that they serve are losing $ due to consumers not spending. Then again, I guess it depends on the...

    RECESSION-PROOF Business Models?

    I loved the last part. Sounds like providing huge value + a "Recession-Proof" (low) price = succeeding in the recession.

    The Power of LinkedIn Outreach?

    MARKETING 
    Very interesting that you mention this as I was considering this approach the other day too for the exact same reason. Thing is - Straight to the point (all those spam messages) got played out. Hence why now the trend is to have conversations. I think both approaches work depending on the...

    US Freelancers VS Overseas Freelancers

    PEOPLE 
    Makes sense. I'll try that strategy. I suppose everyone in this globalized world has access to the same learning for skills. Then again, I just need to check that they're experienced in marketing to US clients I suppose.
