IMPACT+ HQ

Hi,

Our Wordpress site was sitting nicely in the 90+ speed rating on Google but since installing Hubspot it has slowed down to a score around 18/100. I know this is a common issue but nobody seems to have a solution. We are in touch with Hubspot about it but wondered if anyone else had this issue ? See More

I want to learn about content publishing See More

Does anyone put a video on your blog page telling visitors exactly where to find things See More

PROBLEM SOLVED: As it turns out, there was a bug with my Hubspot dashboard, and the report (while showing for everyone else in the marketing department), was not showing for me. After chatting with Hubspot, the report is now showing and it does in fact have a way to show revenue as it relates to the contacts generated by our youtube channel which is trackable in Hubspot.

Does anyone have anything like this? A third-party analytics tool that can show you that a visitor from your you-tube channel became a customer (with or without filling out a form on your website)?

I have access to the YouTube data in google analytics and it is useful, but I am having trouble finding a way to attribute revenue. Hubspot seems to not want to integrate with... See More

When launching a new YouTube channel is our primary objective to get subscribers? How many subscribers do we need in order to be able to earn the added functionality to push viewers to our company website?

Should we also have CTA‘s for likes and alerts? Or should we just focus on adding subscribers initially?

Also, what best practices do you suggest for CTA’s for us to maximize getting subscribers to our YouTube channel? Any specific techniques, tricks or tips you can suggest? I’m all ears. See More

Hello all!

My name is Brittany and I have recently became the full time marketing assistant and Videographer for Vermost Insurance Agency. While creating content is something I've done for a while now, marketing is a whole new challenge that I am learning as I go.

I am looking for a program that can help me schedule social media posts across multiple platforms, that also has capabilities to track KPI's, website clicks and anything else that might be important! I've heard HubSpot and Sprout social are popular options but I would love to hear what you all have been using and any advice you can give me.

Thank you!

I've been working on a lot of different pieces of content lately. I have to give a presentation next week to a bunch of insurance agents on a new flood insurance program.

This new program is basically the first update in 60 years and it's very complex.

So I've been trying to find a way to simplify it and help people understand it.

Then it hit me you can't just go from the Nintendo to Nintendo Switch over night.

You have to learn and apply to change.

So I'll be discussing some of the dangers of trying to go from the 1950's to 2021 See More

Good day all,

With Q3 rapidly winding to a close, what was your biggest takeaway or win from the past 3 months?

Or, if there's still one more mountain you are aiming to climb before September closes, feel free to share that goal as well.

For me the biggest takeaway was that my investment in learning and the drive towards continual education paid figurative dividends in a big way. It also proved and cemented for that it'sso worthwhile and rewarding.

What's yours? See More

We are looking to hire a company to help us develop our Standard Operating Procedures and Training Manuals. We'd love to have someone who has a good grasp on how to develop these procedures (being able to ask the right questions) and can help create written content, as well as video. We don't want this to just be busy-work but have a final product that can be used by both our existing franchises and new franchises, whenever they have a question about anything related to the operation of their business. Has anyone worked with companies that they would recommend? See More

I just wanted to highlight an article Marcus wrote for franchises. (I may be a little late. I've been on the road preaching TAYA to our franchise owners.... oh, and hiking in the Rocky Mountains.)

The digital marketing plan to franchise your business: They Ask, You Answer

This is a great introduction to TAYA for franchises, and I'm excited to share it with the team here. Thanks Marcus Sheridan for this fabulous tool. I'm slowly but surely winning the leadership over, and this may just be what I needed to get them to pull the trigger (meaning... spend some money on a content manager.)

We are a piano lesson studio. And we have a quiz on our site as the main call to action. They take this quiz to see if they are ready for lessons. We email them their results and show them their results on the next screen.

With this email we nurture them and send them email spread out over the next month.

On the thank you page we offer them a free intro lesson.

My question is should I have this quiz be gated at the end and allow them to go through to the thank you page without providing their email.

Or is is smart to ask for their email so we can follow up?

Dear IMPACT + Team,

The goal is looking for that tie-breaker. I have one week left on this. I have 4 votes on slow/sluggish computers; 3 on internet connectivity and 1 vote on data loss.

Looking for Poll/Survey Help I am doing a very important poll/survey and would appreciate it if I got some feedback on it.
Question:
What is the "1" Technology pain point that customers hate having to deal with all the time?
1.) slow/sluggish computer 2.) virus and malware infections 3.) outdated software 4.)internet connectivity 5.) printing problems 6.) data loss 7.) employee theft

If you are in sales, or even if you are just customer-facing, I encourage you to take IMPACT+'s course: Fundamentals of virtual selling

1. It's authored by the man himself - Marcus Sheridan (educational AND entertaining)

2. This course alone is worth the investment into IMPACT+ Pro

3. I get to be personally trained by Marcus and IMPACT's coaches and this course helped me realize:

a. repetition helps
b. I've forgotten a few fundamentals
c. Even the most seasoned sales-professional can improve in a few key areas

So do yourself a favor and take one hour and 11 minutes out of your week this week to watch this course.

Then practice with your peers and apply the basics to your sales calls. Your customers and your company will love you for... See More

We just signed a new contract for a deal worth $1,000,000 per year. The first interaction (and the 3rd, 4th, and 5th) were blog posts I wrote. TAYA in Action!

Interestingly, they called us and did not submit their email, so how do I know it was from a blog I wrote?


I set the date range in the Geo reports in Google Analytics under Search Console to Jan 1, 2013 – today and am ONLY TRACKING return visitors from Totowa, NJ 07512 (location of the client). There have only been three return customers during that time, 2 of which visited and revisited the site on 10/1/2019.

However, by tracking the landing pages of the most recent visitor and looking at this report, you can see that the first time that visitor from our client visited us was on... See More

Happy Monday IMPACT Plus!

Curious as to what everyone is reading/just finished. I'm about to wrap up Exponential Organizations by Salim Ismail and just started Think Again by Adam Grant.

One of my favorite takeaways from EO is that the "half-life" of a learned skill used to be 30 years, but that has been reduced to 5 years with the rapid pace of learning in today's world.

So, I'm curious... What are you reading and what are your current takeaways?

I'm keeping track of all of my books in our Better Book Club and hope to see y'all in there as well! See More

I was listening to an Impact Plus group and found one new resource, and thought I'd ask for more here.

I'm interested in
video creation and editing using Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects
social media for YouTube, Facebook, and Pinterest - especially changes and improving what I do
anything to improve my course, community, or coaching
To make this beneficial to more people, perhaps you want to use a standard format so it is easily searchable:
topic / URL / any comments

I'll start it off by posting the resource I found in the ImpactPlus group:

After Effects/Premiere https://motionarray.com lots of resources, some free

Can you believe it? We're almost halfway through Q3 2021.

With that in mind, what's one thing that you're focusing on as we approach the downhill slide into Q4 or the end game of 2021?

Consider this as a save point/check point where you can pause and define that focus if the fact that we're 3/4 through the year was a rude awakening.

My major focus for the rest of Q3 is doubling down on my education. Courses, certifications, talks, seminars - I'm digging deep into them again because I personally saw great benefits the last time I put education on the front burner.
