We help entrepreneurs selling services online automate their businesses to work for them saving time, cutting costs and increasing sales. We believe entrepreneurs, online influencers and creators should only do work that fulfils them.
The rest, we can automate. Our services allow influencers/entrepreneurs to own their data so they don’t have to rely on algorithms they can contact the person direct!
They own the data and can provide bespoke customised experiences in doing so. It’s our mission to help more people work less, make more, and build a life they love.
Tell us about yourself?
Before business and marketing I was a personal trainer myself selling services online. After a lot of lessons, ups and downs, I began to focus on helping people with their social media marketing needs instead of their physique.
Now, 99% of our clients are in the health and fitness industry and we are able to allow them to impact thousands more people than I ever could have done myself alone.
If you could go back in time a year or two, what piece of advice would you give yourself?
There would be a few. First, I’d tell myself to buy bitcoin. Then I’d tell myself to this too shall past. Your best day or your worse day, it too shall pass. So celebrate the good and bad.
What problem does your business solve?
We take online solopreneurs/free lancers/influencers spinning too many plates, stressed out, burnt out, selling services online become entrepreneurs that have businesses that work for them so that they can tell more people about their passion.
What is the inspiration behind your business?
I was once the consumer I work with. I had to fix my own problems and I knew if I could fix my own problems I could help others do the same. Email and data isn’t really an attractive subject for most. Most clients and people want to talk about socials.
But socials aren’t owned by people like us. We depend on them. We use each, tech, and systems for entrepreneurs to own their own data to grow their business whilst providing a more customised, enjoyable, experience.
What is your magic sauce?
We’re not online business mentors or fake gurus telling you what you should do. Our clients could watch Youtube videos to be told what to do.
We work for and do the work for our clients so that they don’t have to. They are already busy enough without having some mentor tell them what else they should do. Real entrepreneurs don’t need to do lists. They need time and they need resources.
What is the plan for the next 5 years? What do you want to achieve?
We want to provide a number of opportunities in Liverpool and remote. To grow our team so we can impact more entrepreneurs so that we are recognised email marketing and automation agency for online service providers.
What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced so far?
Over delivering. It’s easy to agree to a project but what we have found difficult now is getting carried away with all the things that we ‘could ‘ do. Instead of delivering what was agreed we’ve often over delivered because we get too excited building and planning the perfect customer experience for our clients.
