  • We shopped 306 companies in 2024 - want to hear how they did?
    Mar 12 2025

    We shopped 306 companies in 2024 - want to hear how they did?

    Secret shopping 306 companies revealed some startling insights: Are you part of the 15% not replying at all, or sending emails too long to keep attention? What happens if you follow up more than five times? In this episode, I discuss the importance of follow-up frequency and quality, and how improving these can help close more deals without spending more on leads.

    Listen to this new 10-minute episode for insights on boosting your sales by enhancing your follow-up strategies and engaging effectively with those who have already reached out.

    Episode Summary:

    In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I delve into the results from shopping 306 companies in 2024. I highlight that 85% of these businesses responded to inquiries, which is a slight improvement from last year. I emphasize the importance of keeping initial communication concise, as only 44% of the companies managed to fit their first response on one smartphone screen. Additionally, I discuss the critical need for persistent follow-up, pointing out that many businesses lose potential clients by not reaching out multiple times. My advice is to focus on enhancing follow-up strategies to convert more leads without increasing advertising costs.

  • Are you doing purposeful practice?
    Mar 5 2025

    Are you doing purposeful practice?

    Are you just going through the motions or truly engaging in purposeful practice? In this episode, I explore how intentional practice differs from mere repetition. Are you setting achievable yet challenging goals just outside your current abilities? Tune in as I delve into how you can apply purposeful practice to improve your skills and grow beyond where you are today.

    Listen to this new 9-minute episode for insights on setting goals just beyond your reach to ensure continuous improvement and mastery in your endeavors.

    Episode Summary:

    In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I delve into the concept of "purposeful practice," inspired by Matthew Syed's book, Bounce. While we often hear that 10,000 hours lead to mastery, I emphasize that it's the intentional practice within those hours that truly matters. Drawing parallels from sports, language learning, and my own golf lessons, I highlight the importance of setting specific, attainable goals that push our current abilities. I share my personal experiences with Duolingo and golf, illustrating how purposeful practice leads to genuine growth and mastery. I encourage you to stretch beyond mere completion, advocating for incremental improvements in your chosen endeavors.
