Hi I'm Glenn, I live near Vancouver BC, in Hope. I want to get these 3 things from the community: 1.  Networking opportunities 2.  Insights into building business directories. 3. Motivational stories of people succeeding in prospecting. Haven't started yet. For fun I like to do these 3 things: 1.  Watch UFC. I designed a punching bag called RandomBag, a bag that moves almost randomly that would be really cool at MMA gyms. Test manufactured prototype in China. Project on hold. Was into boxing, Taekwondo, Karate, and Tai Chi. 2. Am a retired firefighter (I help with FireSmart now) turned IT Manager (Pivotal Corporation) turning now into directory (SDAI) marketer. Did WordPress and Amazon sales of a container of garden planters from China, warehouse automation, succeeded, failed, and learned. 3. Extreme health nut after almost died. Now have healthy diet but can go into extreme diet if I need optimal self-healing (juicing, raw vegan, coffee enemas, intermittent fasting, meditations, exercise). Became a Buddhist Monk to to learn Medicine Buddha practice to heal myself from mercury poisoning & EMF sensitivity.

One thing I see far too often, is agency owners and people in general, don't set expectations up front. They don't frame their services properly to their clients. This miscommunication leads to issues down the road. "I thought we could revise the site until it was they way we wanted?" "You promised me x number of leads from social posting?" "My GBP is in the 4th map position I thought I would be in 1st position, after all it has been 2 weeks..." Setting clearly defined expectations will help alleviate this sort of thing... "You get 3 rounds of revision at dev level and at content level beyond that it cost you extra..." "We generate activity, we hope that generates opportunities for you but do not control fb, insta or the people who use it..." "We can not and will not guarantee placement in the search rankings nor on google maps, We do not control Google, But what we will do, working within our system, is build you the highest rank we can and we will continue to work month after month to improve and maintain your rank. We can not control the timeframe, that is why we require a 90 day commitment from your upfront..." And that brings me to boundaries! SET & MAINTAIN THEM. "I'm sorry that is outside our current scope of work. We can do what you need done but it will be an up charge..." Learn this script, memorize it. It will save you from doing the little ticky-tack free stuff client inevitably ask you to do. If you do one extra thing at their behest, they will scope creep the hell out of you. Set behavior boundaries as well. I had to fire a very big client because an employee from his company start sexting one of my employees, calling her personal phone at all hours, emailing inappropriate things to her. When she brought it up to the client, he made excuses "Kid being a kid" and when she pushed back, he yelled and cursed at her, said some very derogatory things to her. She was 19. She came to me in tears, played me the recording. I immediately called him and in a very professional way, let him know we were firing him. He got loud and rude, I got louder and ruder lol FAFO moment for him.

Hey, hey! This is cool... I'm Josie. Currently I am living in OKC - Oklahoma City, OK. I've been here for 15 months. Hubby travels for his career. No telling where to next. ✈️ My background is in sales and marketing - I sold advertising for over 20 years. I also implemented marketing programs I designed. ✅ I knew at the end of 2019 I wanted to get away from "old school" sales and dive into the digital arena. It took me months to get that figured out - found a digital group of guys on YouTube and I was hooked - I knew digital is where I wanted to go... 🙃 Almost 6 years I have been trying SO many programs - only to hit huddles I couldn't figure out. Or hit snags that were a software problem.... bought way too many programs with crap systems.💩 I met Dorn about the same time I was searching the digital oceans....and here I am! 🦈 I AM NOT GIVING UP!🫤 My goals are baby steps - I just want to get up and running as a respectable digital agency - NOT a "me too" agency. I also want to find and follow a solid working program..... 👣 Fun fact - I also have a small brand of t shirts I started on Amazon over 12 years ago and am a self taught artist. 🎨 Supa (as my grandsons would say) excited to be here with Dorn and his knowledge. 💥
