I’m redoing my home office/studio right now, so this probably wouldn’t start for another month or so. I’ve been wanting to connect with a few like-minded people to bounce ideas around, and I’d love to start a weekly brainstorming session where we can share concepts, talk through challenges, and see what sparks. My background is in sales and marketing, and I also worked in TV sponsorship management for about 5 years. I’m not the smartest person, but I have big dreams and big goals. I believe with more people and shared knowledge, we can help each other reach our goals together. Let me know if anyone is interested.

I'm so excited to have you all here. This community is going to be an incredible resource, and the more we know about each other, the stronger we'll be. Let's break the ice! I am asking you to introduce yourself in a fun way. Share your name, your business, and one "pro-tip" you've learned in your journey so far. Here's an example: - Name: Sonic Karayel (Retired Air Force) - Business: "Sonic Combinator" - I help small businesses go from 0 to 1 in their business journey! - Pro-Tip: Most business owners focus on acquiring new customers, but a high-impact strategy they often overlook is customer retention through a predictable re-engagement system. - Instead of constantly chasing new sales, you can generate more revenue by creating an automated process to bring past customers back. For example, a car mechanic could send an email or text reminder for an oil change six months after the last service. A custom cake baker could send a message a year after a client's wedding, offering a small anniversary cake. This approach is powerful because it costs significantly less to sell to an existing customer than to acquire a new one. By setting up a simple, automated system, you build loyalty, increase your customer's lifetime value, and create a more predictable revenue stream for your business.
