#Socialmedia is NOT another sales channel
It is NOT purely Transactional....
What #socialmediamarketing is....
It is a LONG TAIL game....
It requires PATIENCE...
It is about building RELATIONSHIPS....
It is about establishing a BUYER - SELLER CONNECTION (on a personal and/or professional level)....
When this groundwork is laid...
The SALES will come!
Do you agree that social media marketing is not a simple "flick of the switch"?

My Social Media Marketing Journey - Connecting With Your Customers Is Key
In this week's episode of My Social Media Marketing Journey, I discuss the importance of establishing a CONNECTION with your customers.
At the end of the day, people want to buy from those they can RELATE to, TRUST and LIKE.
The 1950's mindset that customer will buy our products and services because we are cool (we think we are cool) and the best (we think we are the best) no longer works.
How are you providing VALUE?
Are you PERSONABLE?
Do you UNDERSTAND my problems?
And if you do, do you have the product or service to HELP me the solve that problem?
In 2023, being a REAL PERSON and not a FACELESS business is KEY.
CONNECT with your customers!
How do you make that personal connection?

I was not born with a smartphone so I was very EAGER to LEARN about #socialmedia which proved to be a GAMECHANGER in how we promote and sell...
It truly changed #marketing forever...
In Episode 2 of My #socialmediamarketing journey, I chat with Joshua Lyon about how I fully embraced this new marketing tactic...
We discuss how the approach changed from "How awesome we think OUR products and/or services are" to "How can we can help SOLVE the problems of our customers".
It's not longer about YOU as a business...
It's all about providing VALUE & building TRUST with THEM, your customers...
Do you feel your company has full embraced this approach to marketing?

What bridge would you rather build to your customers, prospects & fans?
The Golden Gate?
Or that rope bridge from Indiana Jones?
At the end of the day, you want to build bridges that are built upon…
TRUST…
VALUE…
And NOT JUST SALES…
Because RELATIONSHIPS are not built on TRANSACTIONS…
Reach out if you need help building the Golden Gate….

Commit to content!
Time is money but if you make some time to create content…
That benefits you so you can make more money down the line!

My no bull 💩 guide to #storytelling & being a #valuencer (leading with value NOT influence)
1. Cut through the content clutter!
2. Your content should make a difference and/or solve problems for your audience
3. Be transparent, human & REAL —- make that connection!
Four years later, these rules haven’t changed but it looks like less and less creators follow them…
It’s not about instant gratification or ROI…
It’s about building relationships by delivering VALUE…
And GAINING TRUST…
It takes TIME but it’s WORTH the wait!
Do you follow these no bull 💩 rules?

Back in November of 2018, I became an #entrepreneur after leaving my toxic, stressful corporate job...
It was exciting and scary as hell setting out on my own as a #socialmediamarketing consultant...
It wasn’t easy at all and I learned so much about running a #business...
My little agency that could, Valuencer...
This video from the beginning of the #joegilljourney brought me back to that roller coaster of a ride...
Can you relate as well?
