Is your business prepared for 2020?

With digital marketing having evolved from a potential option to an absolute necessity, you need to be taking steps today to ensure your tomorrow is protected.

Not so long ago, digital marketing was just a different way of marketing. It was the start of a new marketing approach where you could promote your goods and services across new channels.

But in the years since the internet became an avenue of reach and exposure, its importance cannot be overlooked any more.

Digital marketing is no longer one avenue businesses use to reach their customers.…

Hiring new team members can be a nerve-wracking time, especially when you don’t have much recruiting experience. How can you possibly make the right choice based on reading a CV and having a short interview with a few candidates?

You’ll no doubt have been told that hiring A Players is a necessity in order to successfully grow your small business or startup. But knowing how to identify an A player is not necessarily as easy as it may seem.…

I was interviewed by my friend Frank Bria on his podcast show.  We discuss the changes I’ve made to my Bluewire Coaching Program and how I have launched and refined the model.

In this episode I talk to Adam about his work with professionals and getting them online. He discusses the adjustments to his business model and program that helped him finally dial in the service model.

I believe it’s win-win when you help people out and offer them a ride. Here’s why!

TRANSCRIPT

Good day guys, it’s Adam Franklin here. We got horses and carts in the streets here in St. Louis and it’s awesome. So, I’m hoping the audio works on this one because it didn’t on the other couple. But, what this has got me thinking about is the importance of offering people a ride, giving help to people, not only clients, but partners in the industry.

And one of the reasons I’m actually here in St.…

My philosophy is to keep an open mind and stay hungry to learn more (even if it’s from other people’s mistakes).

TRANSCRIPT

G’day guys, it’s Adam Franklin here and there’s probably no surprise to you if you know me well that I’ve been waiting ages for this actual shot to work out, with the arch, the St. Louis Arch behind me. It was too overexposed and too many people and whatever else earlier, but I am grateful that it’s working.

So, no real marketing tip today other than just always be open to learning, even if somebody … maybe you don’t even think they’re as sophisticated a marketer as you, or as talented, or as experienced, or whatever else, always keep an open mind because there’s definitely going to be something that they know that you can learn from.…

Learning from peers is important (and worth flying half way around the world for!)

Hey guys, it’s Adam Franklin here in St. Louis. This is the old courthouse behind me, or at least that’s what I’m led to believe it is, and it’s a beautiful time of the day. It’s a beautiful area and what I’m most excited about is this LinkedIn mastermind we’re doing tomorrow.

So there’s a room full of people, all peers. We’ve all supported Josh Turner, who’s the host, in various capacities over the years and he’s putting on this private mastermind so that we can all learn from each other.…

It’s Adam Franklin here.

A couple more thoughts as I’m going on my run, not that quick a run because I’m not that tough, but my run through St. Louis this afternoon, is just the importance of taking the time out to reflect. There’s a couple of people behind me just sitting at the little lake there. I don’t know what they’re doing, but pondering life, that’s certainly what I’m doing.

When it comes to business or marketing or life, just that timeout, back to nature, it’s pretty peaceful, and I think if we, well one of the things that I learned from that flow retreat that I talked about recently, too, is actually just setting the time aside to take it easy, to reflect and think.…

You may have heard of masterminds or even attended one. There are lots of different ways to run them, but I like it when each attendee runs a session. Here’s what to expect.

It’s Adam Franklin here. I’m here at the Missouri Athletic Club. I’ve just come off the 24 hour flight from Brisbane, and this is on Level Five of the Athletics Centre, which we’re staying at for the MasterMind over the next two days. It’s going to be really interesting because it’s a whole bunch of, I guess you’d call them, peers.…

Would you like 10 new sales conversations in the next 30 days?    Perhaps I can help.  Read on.

G’day, guys, it’s Adam Franklin, and I’m actually looking to work with a new group of clients.

So if you are a professional advisor or a consultant and you’d like to get 10 new sales conversations in the next 30 days, perhaps I can help. So the clients that I find that I’m a good fit for have some of the following characteristics.

• So firstly, you’ve got a consulting business where you work with high value clients, so clients that are worth at least $10,000 over the course of one year.

Do I connect with competitors on LinkedIn? Personally, I do — and here’s why (but I also acknowledge the case for not connecting with them).

TRANSCRIPT

G’day, it’s Adam Franklin here. The question I want to address today is one that I get quite a bit. Do I connect with my competitors? The short answer is there’s no right or wrong. Let’s look at the two different arguments here.

For argument “against” connecting with competitors

The first argument is let’s not connect with our competitors mainly for two reasons.…

[Cairns, Queensland, Australia]

This is a question where my answer goes against what some LinkedIn advisors suggest… Some say only connect with potential clients but my opinion is that it’s better to have a broader network that reflects your wider community of contacts.

G’day, it’s Adam Franklin here.

Do I accept people who are outside of my core line of business? So in this particular case, the question was “do I accept somebody from the charity that I’m involved with?”… or do I just stick to people who might be clients one day?…
