Hey, friendly friends. Life is going on, and isn't it interesting? We've just come back a couple of days ago from a beautiful O'Reilly's retreat in Lamington National Park, and oh my God, every time we go there, something truly magical happens. The healing power of this place is incredible. Whenever I feel tired, off, or just in need of mental rest and recharge, it's definitely my go-to place. In fact, it's been our family’s go-to for the whole 16 years we've been in Australia.
And so, an update is coming from me. Isn't it interesting how life happens, and sometimes you just don’t have much control? Over the past month or so, everything was going well until the day I got shingles and a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I really had difficulties lifting my arm, and it was pretty horrendous. I've never experienced anything like that before.
I went to an osteo, and honestly, that was the biggest thing that helped me. I’m much better now, though I still experience a little pain, but nothing major. I've even started my physical exercise routine again.
Then, as soon as I started recovering, about a week or two later, Vika went rollerblading with her friend and fell, fracturing her sacrum. Thankfully, it wasn’t a bad fracture. She was still able to move around, though not too actively, but she could walk and even sit for short periods. We got through that stage, and now she’s looking forward to getting back to her ballet and contemporary lessons, especially since she was preparing for the end-of-year concert.
On another note, Serge is just finishing up the kitchen renovations. We’re really just doing the basics, replacing a few things here and there to freshen it up and make it look nicer. It’s probably been overdue for a while, and he's been busy with that while I’ve been tied up with the agency.
On the business side of things, the amazing thing right now is that some of our meta ads are performing really well, converting way higher than expected. We’ve been selling $99 offers, and they’re practically flying off the shelves for some of the accounts, which has been a great test.
Another big win for us has been our Prospect Boomerang campaign. We've made it truly performance-based, meaning the business owners don’t pay us upfront to bring new clients through the door. We handle the entire tech setup and all that jazz, and only collect a small fee after the sale. This has been working amazingly well. Some of our clients have brought in 169 new customers, and others have pulled in 30 new clients from a database of just 1,200 contacts.
So, if you’re in business and you’ve got a list of previous clients, dead leads, or inquiries sitting around, we might have something worth chatting about. We’re taking this campaign on completely free upfront, and I’d be more than happy to offer it to those on my list. Just let me know!
One more thing: if you’re my friend and you’re in business, and you need a customer relationship management (CRM) software to keep things organized, or you want to build websites and funnels, we’ve got pre-built stuff ready to go. If you’d like to set up some automations or anything like that, let me know. I can most likely organize something for you, for free. It could really help your business!
Apart from that, I’m really looking forward to catching up with my friends. I’d love to devote the next couple of months to setting up some meetings. So, if we haven’t caught up in a while, send me a message and let’s set something up!
