Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic!  Today we are going to be talking about customer retention! Today I am joined by Casey Graham, the CEO of Gravy who is going to share the 4 step system to creating higher-paying and longer staying clients. We all know the importance of converting leads to sales, but what about once they buy?  How do we keep them?  More specifically, how do we keep them paying the bills they have committed to pay? (Which can be one of the biggest headaches in the small business world). "The Mad Mom Principle..."  at 7:35 Casey explains the #1 reason people quit courses and programs.   So many customers are oblivious to what you, as a business owner, assume they already know.  As entrepreneurs, we

Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic! If you know me, you know I am a productivity nerd and a systems girl.

Welcome back to another episode of Foot Traffic! Sometimes we have to do things we don’t enjoy now, to get to the benefit (or where we want to go) later. We live in a world of instant gratification. If it doesn’t bring immediate satisfaction or results, we don’t want to do it. For someone like me who is a doer, this is extremely hard, however, I am now reaping the rewards! And in the long run, I am moving my business forward faster and more efficiently.  "Don't you do things everyday that you don't really want to do so your business can thrive?..." At minute 0:40, I'm reflecting on what worked and what didn't work for our latest launch of the Foot Traffic Formula.

Welcome back to another episode! Today I'm talking with one of my Powerhouse Mastermind clients, Olga!

I don’t know about you, but I am always looking for more strategies to increase visibility for my business. Better yet, I get really excited when I manage to find free or low-cost ways to increase visibility! Now, in case you haven’t been following along on social media, we are in the middle of a free event, 4 Free or Low-Cost Ways to Drive More Traffic. Each day I come and share 1 unique strategy my business is currently using and seeing great success with that is free or costs only pennies. So many business owners come to me and say things like, “I need more eyes on my products/programs/services” or “Stacy, I have been in business over 30 years and we’ve always been the go-to business, but all of a sudden there are new competitors popping up left and right and I know I need to get back on my game.” These strategies I share with you today will help you bring new blood into your business! Whether your business is just getting started, or you have been at the top for years, or even just somewhere in the middle

Today I'm doing an on-air coaching call with one of my past client's from The Foot Traffic Formula, Nellie Corriveau from Be Positively You! The biggest takeaway from this conversation was that she's having really great results but she didn't just jump into the program and magically get these results. Nellie is really taking action and making these things happen by taking action. I hope this episode inspires you to take action after hearing from Nellie! "Start with a number and you can grow..." At minute 0:41, Nellie tells us about her business and herself before we dive in! Hear her #1 source of income and her best selling program which leads us into a conversation about pricing. "Everything is aligning and it's really exciting to see..." At 8:40, Nellie shares the one thing that feels out of alignment. We dive into one of her weaknesses and talk about the growth of her team to figure out how we can free up more of her time to move her business forward and make sure she's working on her business not in it. "
