    GOLD! HOT! ASSERTION 
    Saw a post about local services and started scrolling back to see if I'd already replied. Then I spot I'm mentioned in the opening post by ICK, lol: Anyway, I got out of doing IT for big corporates in 2009 by helping an electrician friend. Since then I've loved helping local service...

    What is the best sales advice you've learned and can impart?

    GOLD! HOT! MARKETING 
    Something I did accidentally is when I post content on social media platforms or in communities and people reply, then I reply back to them, and then I send a quick DM saying thanks for the reply. I used to even send DMs thanking people for sending connection requests, for following me, or even...

    What's really surprised me is how I still pause and think about what I'm trying to say, but I'm more comfortable with silences now. I'm now less likely to use filler words.

    I don't know if it's because of my internet connection, but on my phone a few times I've had it fail to transcribe. It doesn't happen on my desktop, though, so that does point towards the internet connection.

    Yeah, it is like magic. It's especially good when chatting to AI because you can give it so much context in the same amount of time it would take to type less context.

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Yeah, the LinkedIn feed is awful but I for one don't go to LinkedIn to learn or be entertained. I post irregularly but log in daily just to check for DMs or other notifications. In other news... A couple of days ago I joined a new $49/mth Skool community led by someone who's YouTube...

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    This just shows the power of LinkedIn... Yesterday someone who knows me from when we both worked in a company in 2012 reached out to see if we could have a chat next week. Given how much time has passed, he's now progressed to being the CIO of a large enough insurance company in Ireland. So...

    Walter beat me to it. Don't infiltrate. Go in and be helpful. If you can't be helpful, then maybe just lurk and observe. I've been in plenty of groups as a peer rather than a marketing consultant. I just bounce around being helpful and supportive and engaged. Step one is that people start...

    Selling niche Google Sheets on Etsy?

    I'm sure that creek could be turned into a river, but at what cost in terms of your time and attention? I also heard some nice advice to give your best training to your team. Even when I did my courses the absolute best I could and did one hour weekly office hours where people could ask me...

    Selling niche Google Sheets on Etsy?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Something else to consider is they're different products and different markets. I personally decided to shelve the idea of selling courses/tools and focus on using my shovel. I still don't know if that's the right move tbh.
