Hey team, in this podcast I am explaining you the beginning stages of my BAM Framework I'm putting together. If you want to be notified when the framework is finished please comment BAM so I'll add you to the list.  The first stage is building the sales funnel. We have a 6 step process to build the funnel that we know converts.    Step #1 is the pain point your customer is looking for.  Step #2 is the 3 general solutions you offer to fix their pain points.  Step #3 will be the personal side, like a video or image to introduce yourself and why you're a trusted source.  Step #4 is where you will give them the exact services you offer.  Step #5 will be where you provide testimonials that match the services.  And last but not least is step #6 where you give them a free offer in exchange for their contact information.   Stay tuned to see the next section of the BAM Framework! https://www.automationlinks.com/start

Hey team, in this video I share my experience making videos, how it helped me grow AutomationLinks and why you should start making them today! 1. Branding 2. Relationships 3. Call to actions 4. SEO for website growth https://www.automationlinks.com/start

Here are the 6 steps to creating a video for the homepage of your website. View the entire article here www.AutomationLinks.com/how-to-make-a-website-video. 1. Introduce the main pain point, you can only choose one so make sure it's general and will serve the majority of your audience. 2. Introduce yourself in 1 to 2 sentences. Your name and your position and leave it at that. Remember you can switch the order from step #1 and #2 if you'd like.  3. Tell them they're in the right place!  4. Talk about 3-6 services you offer and why they will solve their pain points. Why did you create them, why do you offer them and how can it help the viewer? 5. Touch on 1-2 testimonials, reviews or case studies relating to your services and/or pain point. What were the results, how did you fix their frustrations and make the viewer related to someone like them. 6. Tell the viewer where to go next! The majority of websites are "information" based when they really need to guide the customer down the sales funnel. If you're a service-based business tell them to fill out the form to get more information, schedule a call or just call you. If you're an eCommerce store tell them what the checkout experience is like and what they can expect when it comes to shipping. Remember the average website only gets a 0.01% signup rate. By adding relationship builders like videos that are personal you can raise your conversions by up to 7%!

Relationship Marketing tips by Brad Smith owner of AutomationLinks.  Read the entire article by clicking here: https://www.automationlinks.com/stop-being-burned-by-seo-companies 1. Find the best keywords You need to do your research on exactly what your ideal customer is searching for on Google. It’s probably different than what you think they’re searching for. Do your research and make sure you only show up for those exact keywords. Quick Tips - Make sure you don’t show up for irrelevant keywords because Google will penalize you if people are coming to your site and aren’t finding what they were looking for.  You can learn more about if people are actually searching for your business or if you need to brand yourself here https://www.automationlinks.com/do-they-need-your-service-or-should-you-brand-yourself. 2. SEO your pages once Most companies will tell you they’re doing SEO on the same pages you already have over and over. Unless they’re creating new content or updating that content it’s pointless. You need new content, new pages, and update content if you want your SEO to improve. Quick Tips - Go over all your current pages and update content that’s outdated or not relevant. Update your pages, blogs and even add subpages with more information. Once you have your pages created you need to index them with Google. Learn how to do that here https://www.automationlinks.com/how-to-add-your-website-to-google. 3. Post new content consistently You need to show search engines you’re consistently trying to help their searchers. They want to see that you’re always trying to update your site with content that will bring value to people using their platform. This can be through written, video or even podcasts now. Quick Tips - Plan on posting something consistently every week like blogs, FAQs, testimonials or newsletters. This will show Google you’re updating your site with new content. If you need help planning your content so you'll be consistent use our content planner. You can download a free copy here https://www.automationlinks.com/blog/use-a-content-planner. 4. What are your clients asking? Most likely your potential customers are asking questions in Google. If your business is the website that’s answering those questions they’re more likely to stay on your site and reach out when they need help. Be the expert online and you’ll get more business opportunities. Quick Tips - Listen to questions your current clients are asking you and use that to help you come up with new content for your website. When building a business online you must be able to build better relationships with them. Use this quick article to build better relationships with prospects online https://www.automationlinks.com/how-to-build-relationships-with-90-of-prospects.

In this podcast, we’ll be explaining if you should brand yourself to get new customers or if people are already searching for your business as a service.  The ultimate goal online is to have a business someone types into Google to find when they’re ready to hire you. If you sell products or common services consumers will most likely be going into Google and searching for the exact words you offer.  If you show up for those keywords that customer is more likely to buy from you. But if you have a business people wouldn’t necessarily go out and search for you would need to brand your business online.  Your ultimate goal is to use your brand to influence people that they need or want your offering. Assuming most of your ideal audience doesn’t even know they need your services it will be your job to educate, build relationships and show up on a consistent basis.

The goal is to have more people schedule with you, get on your calendar so you can speak. If you can speak to potential leads you're more likely to build a better relationship and build trust. The more someone trusts you, feels like they have a relationship with you the more likely they're to become a customer. Try the funnel here: https://www.automationlinks.com/info

Hey team, I have a new book coming out (my first book) called Relationship Marketing.  This is a short piece about the first chapter of the book that teaches how to connect with 90% of prospects you probably are missing right now.  Hope it helps, click the link below to get the book, funnel framework and content planner! https://www.automationlinks.com/relationship

There are 3 types of customers and you might be missing 90% of them! This has been one of the most beneficial changes in our business. We've found that there are 3 types of customer profiles that will come in contact with your business.  Unfortunately, we were only focusing on 1 of them at the beginning stages of our business. You are probably only focused on 1 also which is a huge mistake because this only makes up 10% of your potential customers. Watch this video to learn about the 3 types of customers that will come in contact with your business, learn from it, take action today and don't forget to subscribe! Please watch the video here https://www.automationlinks.com/3-types-of-customers-you-re-missing-90-of-them The 3 types of customer profiles are: 1. Visitors - 60% 2. Followers - 30% 3. Customers - 10% The majority of businesses put all their focus on the "customer" who only makes up 10% or less of their potential clients. The "customer" is the person ready to buy and is the one clicking on ads to purchase your product. These people are doing Google searches finding your business and are ready to get started. This is the majority of customers you receive right now, this is the easiest person for you and most likely the majority of people that join. Business owners put a lot of focus on ads, SEO and social media posts to attract these people. Great job, but don't forget about the next 2!  The Visitors The "visitors" are the type of people that either don't have the funds or just don't need your product right now. They may have clicked on an ad, found you on a random Google search or may want your product but they're not ready to buy.  This is the person that can change your business forever! If you learn how to build some sort of relationship with a "visitor" who makes up 60% of your potential leads, and turn them into a follower you're more then likely going to turn this person into a customer someday. Someday means you have to be patient, you need to continue the relationship and provide value. If you're patient and continue the relationship with this person they may become a customer in a month, 3 months or even years from now.  The Follower This person has shown interest in your service, signed up for your newsletter, coupon or followed you on social media. These are the easiest to convert into a customer and they make up over 30% of your potential clients.  The follower needs to see social proof, needs to see case studies and needs to see that you're the perfect business for them. It won't take much to convert this person but you need to take action to create the relationship a little further. Reach out to a follower on social media messaging, send them a personalized email and even give them a thumbs up on their social media posts. Once they see you care and you're the perfect business for them, they'll take action. The Benefit If you're currently only getting 10% of your potential leads to signup with you, imagine what your business would look like if you were able to convert the visitors and followers! The results could mean in 3 months from now you'll be getting your normal "customers" signing up with you as well as a percentage of your "followers" joining and even a small percentage of visitors who you would have never signed up before.  This could result in a 15% increase in paying "customers" to your business in a short amount of time. I want you to reach out to us if you have any questions

Marketing Results - In this blog, podcast, and video Brad Smith shares his tips on marketing and why hiring someone to do your marketing for you isn't always the best idea for your business. In our Automation Framework, we explain that we switch the word marketing for relationships. We believe building strong relationships with clients online is the only way to succeed. Think of the presidential election every four years. There's a very simple process that happens to help you determine who you will vote for; 1. The elected official is represented from a trusted party (democrat or republican) 2. The potential president builds a relationship with you (social media, commercials, radio, and newspapers) 3. After and only after at least a year of marketing to you, they will ask for your vote.

"Only your mom watches your videos" Video Views - In this blog, video, and podcast Brad Smith shares his insights on why your videos don't get a lot of views likes or even comments. Brad shares daily videos on his YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram channels. Since AutomationLinks is a fairly new business we don't get a lot of engagement on our videos yet, but we get a lot of new customers from them. It's easy to get frustrated with your content when you aren't seeing good results on social media, ever share a piece of content and get 1 like... from your mom? The deal is, there are people watching, listening and interested in what you're doing but they don't show interest. It's hard on the business owner because social media doesn't tell us how many people are actually watching you.

Know The Secret To Great Timing: Have you ever heard that phrase, "strike while the iron is hot"? It pertains especially to the art of asking for reviews. Do not be afraid to ask your customers to give you a review, especially if you know that they had a great experience while working with your company. Most customers will happily write glowing reviews about vendors and companies that they've grown to trust. The key is to get them right in that sweet spot after they've had and enjoyed your service. This is where timing comes in. Don't give your valued clients the chance to forget how awesome your service was. If they’re shopping in-store, ask them to leave a review before they leave. If this was an online sale, or a service they just enlisted, give them some time before sending them an email to remind to review your business.

A company is building a product, with a lot of money invested in it, but it just isn’t working. So they hire an outside engineer to look over the design. The consultant comes to the office, looks at the schematics for about 20 minutes, and then asks the director of the project for a pencil. The director taps his pockets, and realizes he doesn’t have one. “No problem,” says the consultant, and he opens his briefcase, opens a new box of pencils, and sharpens one. He then takes the pencil and circles a small part of the design. “There is your problem, “ he says, “the material you’ve chosen is too weak for a part this size. Use something sturdier.” The advice works, and the product ships. A month later, the consultant sends his bill, $50,000. The director of the project is very surprised by the cost, so he sends a request to the consultant for an itemized list of expenses.
