Set Collaborate podcast on a journey towards achieving your goals with host Wanda Pearson.

00:00:53.862 --> 00:01:02.703
Hi, I am so excited to present a new series on my Ready Set Collaborate with Wanda Pearson and that series is on marketing.

00:01:02.703 --> 00:01:05.266
How do you market your business?

00:01:05.266 --> 00:01:11.516
How did you get that information to get out to some of the potential clients and clients that you have?

00:01:11.516 --> 00:01:16.245
So I want to start off with saying that my marketing.

00:01:16.245 --> 00:01:22.835
When I started my business, we have Legal Shield as our business, but I created my own brand, which is WD Pearson Associates.

00:01:22.835 --> 00:01:27.664
My own brand, which is WD Pearson Associates.

00:01:27.664 --> 00:01:28.888
I wanted to have my own brand and how to get out there.

00:01:28.888 --> 00:01:44.626
Even though our legal shield is network marketing, I wanted to have my own brand and so I did create WD Pearson Associates that helps educate, empower, coach and consult with our services and also with what you want to do as far as your passion of how you want to start your business.

00:01:44.626 --> 00:01:53.615
So this is something that I started when I left for my corporate job and I wanted to get out there because I'm a community based.

00:01:53.615 --> 00:01:54.600
I love getting out of the community.

00:01:54.600 --> 00:01:55.403
I'm a social worker.

00:01:55.403 --> 00:01:56.365
How can I help people?

00:01:56.365 --> 00:02:02.066
So this is my way of getting out and helping people and being able to, especially when COVID happened.

00:02:02.066 --> 00:02:05.292
When COVID happened, a lot of people had to stay in their homes.

00:02:05.292 --> 00:02:06.614
They lost their jobs.

00:02:06.614 --> 00:02:18.269
So that's when I started doing the webinars with other entrepreneurs about how we can work together, and when you're working together, you collaborate together, and that's why I named my podcast, ready Set Collaborate.

00:02:18.269 --> 00:02:25.265
Collaboration is the key to success, but you need your marketing strategy to be able to help with that.

00:02:25.727 --> 00:02:31.923
So I am going to be having my guests and I'm going to ask some questions as far as how do you describe your overall marketing strategy?

00:02:31.923 --> 00:02:34.872
I'm going to ask you how do you describe your overall marketing strategy?

00:02:34.872 --> 00:02:39.147
How do you measure your success of your marketing campaigns?

00:02:39.147 --> 00:02:41.271
So I do a lot of campaigns.

00:02:41.271 --> 00:02:45.288
I do my newsletters with my clients, with LegalShield.

00:02:45.288 --> 00:02:50.831
I want to keep them abreast and educate them, make sure that they are understanding what they have as a service.

00:02:50.831 --> 00:02:59.229
So those are some of the things that I've been doing my tools and also educating, coaching people how I was actually helping them get their LLC started.

00:02:59.229 --> 00:03:11.780
But also digital marketing how do you prioritize your digital marketing, which is social media and email marketing, seo, ppc those are some of the questions I'm going to be asking my guests as well.

00:03:11.780 --> 00:03:26.033
So I market minds and I think that I have my first guest is going to be about her marketing, helping me market my business to get it where people will see potential, potential prospects, would see also clients.

00:03:26.033 --> 00:03:29.449
So digital marketing is so important in today's world.

00:03:29.449 --> 00:03:30.662
Right, I would say.

00:03:30.662 --> 00:03:37.008
As far as your social media, your email marketing, how do you get out there to do that?

00:03:37.008 --> 00:03:40.429
And also, how do you approach your social marketing?

00:03:40.429 --> 00:03:41.450
Social media marketing?

00:03:41.450 --> 00:03:44.627
There's certain platforms that you work best for your business.

00:03:44.627 --> 00:03:49.701
I do a lot on LinkedIn and also on Facebook, but you have to be out there to market your business.

00:03:49.701 --> 00:03:52.270
If you don't market your business, then nobody knows what your business does.

00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:55.168
So that is some of the things that I've been doing.

00:03:55.669 --> 00:04:01.987
Content marketing how about content marketing that makes it different your content or what you're marketing?

00:04:01.987 --> 00:04:03.699
What services do you provide?

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:04.901
What products do you provide?

00:04:04.901 --> 00:04:16.913
Those are some of the things that you want to think about and how do you decide on those topics and formats of your content, something that's going to get people's perk them up, say, oh, I want to learn about that.

00:04:16.913 --> 00:04:18.894
So that is something that you want to make sure.

00:04:18.894 --> 00:04:21.156
But one thing I always say is share your story.

00:04:21.156 --> 00:04:27.363
Share a story of how a particular piece of content significantly impacted your business.

00:04:27.384 --> 00:04:31.233
And I really do have to say I have a story how I got started.

00:04:31.233 --> 00:04:34.646
When I left corporate I said, okay, what am I going to do?

00:04:34.646 --> 00:04:39.004
I retired when I was younger but I had the old pension plan.

00:04:39.004 --> 00:04:48.148
So having that old pension plan helped me to be able to get out in the community, because I'm about the community and help people understand what I do.

00:04:48.148 --> 00:04:55.468
So having that story and also when COVID happened, there was a lot of people that told their story.

00:04:55.468 --> 00:04:58.084
So my story was that I came back from Chicago.

00:04:58.084 --> 00:05:06.228
I'm from Chicago sharing my story and asking myself what can I do to help other people and what can I do to create my own brand?

00:05:06.228 --> 00:05:12.706
I do have some my accountability coaches that actually told me Wanda, you may have legal shield, but you need your own brand.

00:05:13.396 --> 00:05:23.586
With WD Pearson Associates helped me to be able to create that brand, to be able to go outside of what I do as far as my services all of our services and do more than what I've been doing.

00:05:23.586 --> 00:05:27.577
That is some one of the things that I've been doing as far as that, and then also branding what I've been doing.

00:05:27.577 --> 00:05:29.242
That is one of the things that I've been doing as far as that.

00:05:29.242 --> 00:05:29.783
And then also branding.

00:05:29.783 --> 00:05:31.810
As you can see, I've branded my own business, wd Pearson Associates.

00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:36.581
I branded it to be able to create something that's mine.

00:05:36.581 --> 00:05:38.947
It's not anybody else's, but that's mine.

00:05:38.947 --> 00:05:41.800
That was something that I took pride in creating that.

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:46.420
And I took pride in it because actually, my podcast is all on my WD Pearson Associates.

00:05:46.420 --> 00:05:52.963
Having access to that is a great accomplishment that I've done.

00:05:53.786 --> 00:05:57.778
One thing I always have to say you have to have that customer engagement and experience right.

00:05:57.778 --> 00:06:01.307
How do you engage with your customers?

00:06:01.307 --> 00:06:03.336
How do you tell them that?

00:06:03.336 --> 00:06:11.324
But one thing I want to say is that you have to educate people and empower them to be able to understand what you're doing and what they're doing in their business.

00:06:11.324 --> 00:06:14.841
So that's why I come in with a consultant and how can I help you.

00:06:14.841 --> 00:06:22.548
So these are some of the things that we're going to be talking about on my series on marketing on the Ready Set Collaborate podcast.

00:06:22.548 --> 00:06:25.759
So I look forward to hearing some of my guests.

00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:42.629
