Key Takeaways
- Even if you do not have your own business, this episode is worthwhile for you! The key takeaways help you in all relationships in your life.
- Leadpages has three major products: Leadpages (landing pages); Drip (email automation); and Center (marketing command center).
- As you are going to conferences, whether you go by yourself or with a friend, find someone you can connect with and ask them to be your debrief buddy and accountability partner—both during the conference and after! This will help to keep you excited and focused.
- A Mastermind is a small group of people. A general format is where one person is in the hot seat, and the group focuses on that individual to help take his or her business to the next level.
- We often think that being the expert in our field that we shouldn’t share our vulnerabilities. But sharing is absolutely vital. Don’t be afraid to share you. People want to know that you are a human being; they want to relate to you.
- Facebook now has a bot that can message your customers via Facebook Messenger. You can program it to give them some great information that is unique to them right in the messaging system. Use an app called ManyChat.
- Selling is not always the answer! Sometimes the focus needs to be more on relationship building.

- [42:24] – The Conference, Day 2, highlights
We don’t have just one ideal customer (or avatar)—we have three: the informed, the afflicted and the oblivious.
Your message needs to be different depending on whom you’re speaking with.
Webinars are a great way to provide a ton of value to people who want to know more about you. They also help you build relationships and make connections.
If you have a small budget for running any Facebook ads, run your ad first on mobile and then retarget those users only to desktop. Users tend to do their research on their mobile devices and then make their purchases on their desktops.
