September 30, 2023 — There is so much to know these days. And so much to track. So much to test. Big companies have made it seem so easy to just “buy” traffic and customers. We’re slowly becoming blind to what it actually is that builds great businesses. It is not you testing the emoji in that subject line of your newsletter. Nor is it the amount of money you spend on advertising.

Everyone is leaking energy, time and resources focusing on, and optimizing, the wrong things. In this talk, I’ll show you what it is you should be focusing on, and what you should be optimizing. Time to get that energy and those resources back and spend them on the things that will make your business thrive!

September 30, 2023 — Freelancers know the pain of trying to deliver top of the line projects to their clients, while simultaneously trying to build a pipeline of new leads, secure projects, onboard new clients – not to mention all that extra stuff you know you should be doing to scale your business.

When you’re working in services you need systems in place to keep the cogs turning when you’re working with clients, drumming up new business, and even taking some time off (yes, time off!)

In this session, I’m going to show you how creating a system for onboarding can prevent some of your biggest client headaches.

When you’re working on high-touch (and €€€!) projects your process is as important as your deliverables – a great experience gives clients confidence in you, makes them come back time and time again, and gets you those referrals.

But how can you give your clients a high-touch experience from behind a screen? How can you stand out from the fancy in-person agencies with their mimosas and cute office dogs?

In this session I’ll take you through a battle-tested system for onboarding, working with, and off-boarding your clients while giving them a 5-star experience. You’ll learn how to stand out and make remote working a selling point – not a drawback.
