This is the most overlooked marketing and sales strategy.Looking back at any time we’ve had to move a number at IMPACT, just asking people for their business has served us very, very well.When we needed to sell out an event, we saw great results when we said “Who should be there that’s not registered? Have we reached out and asked them to attend?”The same is true when we needed to generate new clients, acquire members, develop partner...




In retrospect, this is advice I would give my younger self.
When we want to get better at something fast, whatever that may be, often, we jump too quickly to finding someone to help us and skip a very important step: educating ourselves so we don’t make dumb decisions.
Before hiring a consultant, I highly recommend reading a few books, taking some online courses, and talking to peers doing it well… get yourself to the point where you at...

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 ?

Hello all!My name is Brittany and I have recently became the full time marketing assistant and Videographer for Vermost Insurance Agency.

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...

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+ Pro3. 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...

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...
I am looking for a simple bot to handle my FAQs on a Squarespace site. The Squarespace search function is very clumsy and inconvenient.

I've always used dark mode in all my apps, email, google sheets etc. and it has rarely been an issue (although, I do use outlook's switch to turn on light mode in emails often).But, I know Google Chrome has been rolling out dark mode for their browser to users (my fiance had it before me so I thought it might be user testing) and now with my update this morning, all the websites I visit are in dark mode and I honestly prefer it this way.So...

One of the things I find to be equal parts fascinating and completely frustrating is the "inside baseball" side of SEO. There's this whole world of seemingly super technical stuff that influences how well our ideal buyers are able (or not able to) discover the content we're creating for them.And yet these stories are often shoved aside or dismissed as being irrelevant.This story is just one example. It's easy to think that stories about...

And do you plan to keep anything you've been doing the same, as we go "back to normal" ish?Be honest. Be as brief or as long as you'd like. :)
Here's an interesting piece from Digiday about returning to the office. The Wall Street Journal had a story recently about people who are quitting their old jobs instead of heading back into the office.
So, what's the reality on the ground? Here at IMPACT, we're mostly remote anyway, so we haven't been affected all that much.
But for anyone else out there, are you back in the office full time? Are you hybrid? Are you still remote? And, if...

Sorry, this is long...
Here's the portrait:
Back in 2020, I had a consulting/social media management agency. I was tired and wanted out of having my hands in the production part of things. You know "work on your business, not in your business", so I hired my first full-time employee.
The pandemic hit, we lost a few clients but gain way more. Which is great but still had my hands shoulder-deep in the production part of things (aka doing the...

Hey friends, anyone know of an SMB with a diversity page on their site (or just doing great things with DEI in general?) I know it's a bit of rarity right now (I hope to change that) but looking for examples if they're out there!
