Hi, Mel here.
If you haven’t already listened to our latest episode, Somebody Told Me, get on it. Especially if you’ve found that leads aren’t coming in as thick and fast as you’d like.
We spoke about referrals and how marketing yourself to your industry peers can make you the go-to person for your products or services. Be the name people bring up when you’re not in the room.
Referrals expert Bob Burg gave a mini masterclass on why being referred by others makes business so much easier and we give a shout-out to our pals The Pickerings.
Just a reminder Ben and I are both speaking at Cowork Crew, which is Penni and Jo Pickering’s monthly cowork day. Ben’s on the mic in Cambridge on Friday 15th November, then I’m on in Northampton the following week, Thursday 21st November. On Friday 22nd November Molly Scanlan hosts speaker (and legend) Ange Lyons in South East London.
You get coworking, cake, and a great speaker to listen to. All for £30. Ben and I have paid more than that just for a desk to cowork at, so it is a bargain.
If you’re local to any of those places, come along and support the nicest people in marketing (that’s Penni and Jo… not us…)
And if you’re coming to CopyCon (or even if you’re not) see you at pre-drinks tonight? It’s open to all. Meeting at The Albany, Thursday 7-11pm. Featuring… well, too many friends of the show to mention.
One last reminder, you can email us on show@indiebusinessclub.com
See ya,
