Buy them dinner first. 👀 Just like you cannot trust a person you just met, customers won’t trust you with their purchases or loyalty until they’ve interacted with you more than once.  So that’s your goal as you work, as you’re moving leads through your marketing funnel, more customer interactions, and more yeses. The more positive interactions they have with you, the higher chance they’ll close the sale. More accurately, the more chances you give them, the more they are inclined to say yes.  Are you offering your customers more opportunities to say yes?  We can help.

Is going viral just pure luck, or can it be engineered? In today's digital age, going viral is the holy grail for content creators and marketers. Yet, many struggle with the unpredictability of what makes content catch fire across the web. It's not just about creating good content; it's about creating shareable content that sparks conversation and drives engagement. Dr. Jonah Berger's research, encapsulated in his bestselling book "Contagious: Why Things Catch On," reveals that virality isn't an accident.  It's crafted through understanding and leveraging human behavior. Berger identifies six key principles—encapsulated in the acronym STEPPS (Social Currency, Triggers, Emotion, Public, Practical Value, and Stories)—that can make any content more likely to become viral. Social Currency: We share what makes us look good. Therefore, content that makes someone appear knowledgeable or in the loop is more likely to be shared. Triggers: Effective content is often associated with everyday topics. For example, a mention of "coffee" might trigger thoughts of Starbucks. Emotion: Content that evokes strong emotions, whether awe, excitement, or amusement, often gets shared. The stronger the emotion, the more likely it is to be shared. Public: When something is designed to be public, it's more visible, and its public usage motivates others to share it. Practical Value: Useful content gets shared. Think about the last time you shared a helpful tip or a practical piece of advice with a friend. Stories: People do not just share information; they tell stories. So, content that tells a good story, especially those that align with the brand's message, tends to be more shareable. By mastering these principles, anyone can create content with a higher potential for virality. But it's crucial to understand your audience deeply. Knowing what resonates with them enhances the chances of your content being shared. And remember, in the digital world, virality is not just about being seen—it's about being remembered and creating a lasting impact. Want to dive deeper into creating viral content that works for your brand? Reach out for tailored strategies that resonate with your target audience and amplify your digital presence. Let's make your content not just seen, but unforgettable.

Why You Need an Accountant… As a business owner, time is your most valuable asset, so don’t waste it on bookkeeping, overseeing the cash flow, or managing the payroll process. Delegate all this to a professional accountant. If you’re good at math, you might think handling your accounting is a brilliant idea, but a professional accountant will be more accurate and much more aware of the constantly changing tax codes. They’ll also be experienced in handling tax forms and navigating write-offs. Beyond numbers, a good accountant acts like a financial advisor that you can seek whenever you have questions. They’ll help you build a system and improve your overall financial procedures. So you’ll never be alone in making big financial decisions, and you’ll always have the support of an expert. What Accountants Do… Accountants are responsible for a wide range of tasks, including: a.       Invoicing: Managing and paying invoices from vendors.   b.      Expenses: Tracking all your expenses and organizing them clearly. c.       Getting taxes ready: Preparing taxes until they’re sent to a tax attorney. d.      Monthly/quarterly reports: Writing reports that summarize the financial state of the company. Keep in mind that not all accountants are CPA certified; meaning they’re not qualified to represent you in IRS audits. CPA certified accountants usually operate their own businesses and serve as financial consultants, so in this chapter, we’re focusing on non-CPA accountants. How to Hire an Accountant? Since the accountant will be in charge of the most sensitive department of your company, you must hire someone you both respect and trust. Hiring an accountant requires identifying your business needs and asking the right questions in the interview. Here are the basic criteria: Skills: Specifically, analytical and mathematical. 2. Attention to detail: You don’t want to mess with money, right? So look for an accountant that’s exceptionally accurate and organized. 3. Software: The candidates must be familiar with at least one of the common accounting software such QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, or Sage 50cloud. 4. Education: Accounting is one of the few jobs where a degree matters. Only hire candidates with credible credentials (at least a college degree in accounting). 5. Experience: It’s always best to hire an accountant who’s worked in a similar business before so they’ll understand how your industry work. 6. Comfort: How do you feel about the candidate during the interview? Trust your gut. If you’re not going to be comfortable sharing intimate business details with someone, don’t hire them. Let’s Recap More time, less stress, and lower taxes—working with a professional accountant comes with many perks. Your account will prepare your financial records and taxes and ensure the accuracy of all your financial transactions.
