Have you been posting on your business page and then clicking that little blue "boost" button, hoping it will help you generate more revenue in your business? If this is you, keep reading... The boost post button is kinda like buying a freezer meal at the store. It'll get the job done! But, it won't be nearly as good as the meal you prepare with fresh ingredients from the farmers market and butcher. ?? There is a significant difference between the two, right? Sadly, we've found there's many businesses that are having freezer meals thinking that's all there is to offer. They've NEVER had a fresh cut filet mignon from their local butcher or the fresh vegetables from the market. If you're drooling, stay with me here! I've invited Alex Bjork, Digital Marketing Department Manager at Ugly Mug Marketing, to have a cup of coffee and discuss the difference between Boosting Posts and the power of Meta Ads Manager (the fresh cut filet mignon, if you will).

We're surrounded by feedback daily - whether we're delivering feedback or receiving it. Regardless of it being positive or negative, it can trigger a reaction deep within us. But why do we react the way we do? Are we bad at receiving? Maybe we're bad at delivering! Do you ever find yourself wondering about these questions personally or professionally? If you said yes, keep reading! Last quarter we read a book called Thanks for the Feedback by Douglas Stone & Sheila Heen. If you haven’t read this yet - stop what you’re doing and go get a copy ?? This quarter, our team finished the book and I've asked our Operations Manager, Maura Saldana, to join me for a cup of coffee and a conversation all about how we can improve our feedback delivery and reception! During this conversation, you'll learn about... ????3 Types of Feedback ????Triggers and how to identify yours ????Strategies for managing our reactions to feedback! ????Real-life personal and professional examples This is going to be an insightful conversation for anyone who is leading a team professionally or navigating parenthood and marriage!

Ever felt overwhelmed by feedback? Kind of like you… couldn’t handle it? Whether you own your own business, manage the coolest store in town, or just need a new perspective when it comes to hearing that you’re not perfect 100% of the time, I hope you join me for my webinar! In Q2 our team read “Thanks For the Feedback” by Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen and I’ll admit, at first I thought the title was a bit passive aggressive. I read it like “Thanks, but no thanks.” I couldn’t have been more wrong. “Thanks For the Feedback” really dives deep into what it’s like being on the receiving end of feedback. There are many factors that play into how we respond to feedback and once you learn that, your ability to embrace and receive feedback won’t be the same. In this webinar we’re gonna talk about ?Types of Feedback ?3 Key Principles To Processing Feedback ?Developing a Feedback-Receptive Culture Maybe you’re wondering how/if this webinar could benefit you. What if I told you… ??95% of customers are willing to give a second chance if a business handles/receives their feedback successfully ??72% of employees are likely to stay with their organization if they know feedback is accepted/allowed ??65% of employees WANT more feedback from their employers And 100% of these statistics could increase if we knew more about the impact of receiving feedback. I’m not telling you to take every ounce of feedback to heart and change your entire business model. Everyone can and will give you feedback at some points. And once you learn how to process the emotions behind each type of feedback, your growth has just begun! See ya real soon! P.S. one lucky attendee will win a FREE copy of "Thanks for the Feedback"! ????

When we’re starting something new, wouldn’t it be great to know exactly what to do? How to be a good parent. How to be a good employee. How to be a good spouse. How to be a good manager. The list goes on and on! But as we all know, there’s not a fast track or a one size fits all to these complex relationships and journeys. Similarly, there isn’t a one size fits all approach to entrepreneurship! There is a difference between getting advice - feedback from someone who is/has been an entrepreneur - and hearing someone’s opinion - they’ve never been an entrepreneur but have a lot to say! When we seek advice, consider it your guiding points for launching your entrepreneurial journey. Collaborating with other entrepreneurs can be powerful, especially when you’re getting started! That’s why I’ve invited my friend, Gary Perkins, to be a guest on Coffee Chats on Wednesday, July 17 at 11:00 AM ET/ 10:00 AM CT. ?? Gary is a seasoned entrepreneur in the food and beverage industry and has helped 470+ entrepreneurs in their journey through a program called Business Acceleration System (BAS)! By the end of our conversation you’ll… ?Hear about the mistakes Gary made early in his journey as an entrepreneur ?Learn about this mistakes many entrepreneurs are making today and how you can avoid them ?Have 3 tactical steps to complete to kickstart your journey! If you’re an entrepreneur, this one is FOR YOU! I hope to see you LIVE on Wednesday, July 17 at 11:00 AM ET/ 10:00 AM ET. ???Hannah Balliet
