Speaker:
Hi there.
Speaker:
It's Sue.
Speaker:
And thanks for joining me for tips and talk day.
Speaker:
These are bite-sized topics that I pull from community questions and
Speaker:
things that I'm observing in the world of handmade small business.
Speaker:
If you'd like to submit a topic,
Speaker:
DME over on Instagram at gift biz unwrapped,
Speaker:
What if you could jump on the phone with me for
Speaker:
a quick 10 minute conversation?
Speaker:
Guess what?
Speaker:
Now you can ask my opinion of a website platform.
Speaker:
You're considering want thoughts about how to get stronger results from
Speaker:
an upcoming craft show,
Speaker:
or maybe an overall strategy discussion whatever's on your mind.
Speaker:
Now we have a slick new way to talk.
Speaker:
The second I learned about this program,
Speaker:
I saw the beauty of how it can help me serve
Speaker:
you in a whole new way.
Speaker:
It provides an opportunity for us to connect just you and
Speaker:
me in an easy and convenient way and not at standard
Speaker:
one-on-one high coaching prices.
Speaker:
Either think of the possibilities,
Speaker:
get answers to things that have prevented you from taking a
Speaker:
next step.
Speaker:
Bounce an idea off me for my thoughts and enhancements receive
Speaker:
support and ideas.
Speaker:
If you're in the middle of a challenging situation,
Speaker:
the options are endless.
Speaker:
And the best part is you drive the topic and the
Speaker:
conversation, the program I'm talking about is actually an app that
Speaker:
you download onto your phone.
Speaker:
It's called owl O w w L L owl available in
Speaker:
the apple store or Google play.
Speaker:
You can download it right away.
Speaker:
I suggest that once you do immediately set up your account
Speaker:
that way you're all ready to go.
Speaker:
When you want to make your first call,
Speaker:
as someone setting up an account,
Speaker:
to be able to connect with experts,
Speaker:
you'll be considered an outlet.
Speaker:
You fill in some basic information,
Speaker:
just like you do to sign up for any other app.
Speaker:
If you want to complete your profile,
Speaker:
there is additional information that you can fill in this other
Speaker:
detail is used.
Speaker:
If you'd like to become an expert and take calls,
Speaker:
it's a way they can confirm your expertise and approve you
Speaker:
through your qualifications,
Speaker:
but it's not mandatory to make a call.
Speaker:
So don't let that throw you once you're in,
Speaker:
you'll see that there are lots of experts you can talk
Speaker:
to who cover all sorts of topics,
Speaker:
lawyers, health professionals,
Speaker:
spirituality, and life coaches.
Speaker:
And of course your favorite handmade business coach.
Speaker:
The price for most calls currently ranges between five to $10
Speaker:
for 10 minutes.
Speaker:
So completely reasonable and worth it.
Speaker:
When you have just a question or two,
Speaker:
some of the features I think you'll love about this program
Speaker:
are it's totally focused on you as the outlet,
Speaker:
the person taking your call,
Speaker:
doesn't retain any information about you.
Speaker:
So you won't be pestered with follow-up communication,
Speaker:
unless you specifically request it.
Speaker:
That is the functionality of the app is really smooth and
Speaker:
intuitive. Also there's a countdown timer.
Speaker:
So both sides know exactly how much time is left.
Speaker:
That's really helpful for guiding talking points.
Speaker:
If you decide you want to continue the conversation,
Speaker:
there's an option at around the two minute mark to request
Speaker:
more time after each call,
Speaker:
both sides have the ability to rate the call.
Speaker:
So you can rate if the time was valuable to you
Speaker:
with your question resolved,
Speaker:
it's also a great way to gauge which experts are best
Speaker:
for you.
Speaker:
And on my side,
Speaker:
if I get a spammer or some other abusive call,
Speaker:
I can report that through the rating system.
Speaker:
I appreciate this thought of safety by way of feedback here.
Speaker:
It's important to both of us.
Speaker:
Of course,
Speaker:
now that I'm announcing this to you,
Speaker:
I plan to be available inside the app on a regular
Speaker:
basis, but if I'm not showing up as available,
Speaker:
when you have a question,
Speaker:
I've set up my account to give me a text message
Speaker:
that you'd like to talk.
Speaker:
In many cases,
Speaker:
I can make myself available to you right away with the
Speaker:
exception of if I'm on a podcast,
Speaker:
interview traveling,
Speaker:
or if it's nighttime,
Speaker:
I'm definitely not a late night person,
Speaker:
but you can always catch me bright and early in the
Speaker:
morning, Saturday mornings in particular,
Speaker:
I can easily combine calls with my schedule.
Speaker:
I'm excited to talk to you for these short sessions.
Speaker:
Please don't hesitate to place a call,
Speaker:
even if we've never spoken before.
Speaker:
There's always a first time to get acquainted and what better
Speaker:
than to get direction on something you've been stuck on for
Speaker:
a long time or hear advice that can finally prompt action.
Speaker:
Here are your steps.
Speaker:
One, download owl,
Speaker:
and set up your account to search for me by name
Speaker:
Sue Moen height and click the little owl logo on the
Speaker:
right hand side,
Speaker:
to turn it from gray to gold.
Speaker:
That way I become one of your favorites and you can
Speaker:
find me easily.
Speaker:
And third,
Speaker:
give me a call at the time of this recording.
Speaker:
All new accounts get $10 of free owl money.
Speaker:
So your first call or two are free.
Speaker:
It's that easy.
Speaker:
And there's more.
Speaker:
If you have an area of expertise that you'd like to
Speaker:
share with others,
Speaker:
just like I'm doing through the app for you sign up
Speaker:
to become an owl too.
Speaker:
I've created a more detailed guide to owl complete with screenshots.
Speaker:
If that's helpful to you,
Speaker:
as you install and set up,
Speaker:
it's so easy,
Speaker:
you probably don't need it,
Speaker:
but it's available right now at gift biz,
Speaker:
unwrapped.com forward slash use owl.
Speaker:
And remember owl is spelled O WW L L sharing knowledge
Speaker:
is such a wonderful way to give back.
Speaker:
So let's do it.
Speaker:
I'll be expecting your call.
Speaker:
That's a wrap.
Speaker:
I'm a get to the point kind of girl.
Speaker:
And this is what you can expect from these quick midweek
Speaker:
sessions. Now it's your turn go out and fulfill that dream
