YOU Must Support Your Network | Business Growth Strategy

Hey, it's Evan Carmichael. So listen, it's really important that you support the people in your network, okay? The people who have their own businesses especially. You know how hard it is to run a business. You know how hard it is to get new leads to your company. Think about the people around you. Think about their companies and try to help them. It helps you stay top of mind, and it's not just doing a good thing that you're helping them out with, you're also helping the people who you connect them to. Okay, if you want to grow your business, if you want people to think about you and send you leads, you gotta think about them first. Set the initiative. So I recently got an email, I got an email today from a woman named Shanna who wrote in saying, "Hi Evan, do you have any recommendations for social media courses?" So this is on my phone here, and so I do some social media training only through worksheets. I'm not a consultant, I don't, you know, have a whole course planned out. I have the worksheets of what I've done. And so I recommend those to her, but it sounds like she needs something a little bit more in-depth. So a buddy of mine named Sean Moffett runs a company that helps train people how to use social media for their business, and I thought I would give him a quick call today. I sent him this email, but I haven't heard back. So I thought with you guys on the line, I'm gonna give him a call and let him know about this lead, and we'll see what he says. So let's pull up his website. So his website is themoffettcompany.com, and his phone number— let me dial this in here. Let's see if I can copy. Can I just copy that? Yes. Okay, let's call up Sean and we'll see what happens. I'm gonna put on speakerphone. I'm gonna let him know that we're on the air too. This is who we're calling. D. Sean Moffett.

Sean Moffett speaking.

Sean, Evan Carmichael, how are you?

Great, brother, how are you?

Listen, man, before we go too far, I've got you on speaker and I'm doing a video.

Awesome.

You're on my video.

I love being on video.

We're talking about social media training and I sent you that email. Did you get it?

Yes, I got it and I responded to you.

Oh, okay, okay, I missed it because I'm doing the videos now. So I just wanted to let the audience know a little bit about you. Could you say what you do about small training, small business training for social media?

Absolutely. I take social media misunderstandings, misinformation, and the cloud around social media, how to use it, who to engage with, when, where, and why. And make it clear. Social media is about building your brand in a free, scalable, regular, brand— branded way. And a lot of people think social media is just for people to talk about their lunch or the weather or what the latest thing with Prince William and Kate's baby is all about, but it's not. It's about making money. It's about connecting with every single client or prospect you could ever possibly imagine and connecting with them, communicating with them clearly, caring about the success of their endeavors, be it personal or professional, in order to close business and be able to monetize it for yourself. And not every single interaction is gonna be monetized, but every single interaction does need to be closed in order to deepen the connection, further the relationship, and have the opportunity to serve later.

I love it. Sean Moffitt on the spot, nice. Listen, okay, okay, so she wants small business training. Do you have a training program that you have? On right now?

Absolutely. I've got, I've got a webinar program that's on right now. I've got some customizable stuff, and then I've always got a mentoring program that's on the go right, right now that I can always, I can always dip into. Plus I do customizable stuff too, so if there's something that, that she wants that's specific and, and needs to be customized, I can deliver that as well.

Okay, and so I'll just shoot you an email, introduce you guys, you can take it from there.

Perfect, I'd love that.

All right, thanks Sean, we'll talk to you soon.

Thank you so much, Evan, appreciate the time.

No problem, man.

Bye-bye.
