Shownotes

Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey and showing you how to channel your ADHD creativity better sales.

I’ll share with you how my unique perspective helped me craft engaging and humorous content about solar panels while also devising robust strategies to attract homeowners into the green revolution. Imagine turning what some call a 'disorder' into your most prized asset in the boardroom—because that's exactly what we're going to explore together!

Hi! I'm Katie McManus, ADHD entrepreneur business strategist and money mindset coach.

And welcome to "The Weeniecast."

Personal branding success tips

I’ll guide you through the personal branding success I’ve had on LinkedIn, the gold mine for building relationships and finding clients who resonate with authentic content that educates while it entertains.

We’re going to touch on how empathy can power up your marketing pitch, using my experience in the Internet security sector as a prime example.

And I’ll even slightly ugly cry about my regrets—like why I didn’t leverage networking calls sooner—and how I’m now pivoting that remorse into robust sales training for enterprises with smaller client rosters.

Expect an episode packed with anecdotes from my stints at powerhouses like Equinox and Cisco, and my dance with a solar company before its merger with Tesla.

These are experiences that shape my approach today, and I can't wait to share them with you.

By the end of our session together today, you’ll be empowered to grab your ADHD creativity by the reins and steer it toward unparalleled sales performance.

Beyond just the potential increase in your bottom line, you’ll be ready to forge invaluable connections through personalized service and innovative marketing that makes every client feel like the only one in the room.

So whether you’re a high-flying entrepreneur or a sales rep looking to differentiate your approach, this episode promises to instil confidence, inspire new methods, and transform your ADHD into a force to be reckoned with.

Mentioned in this episode:

Katie's May Birthday challenge

Clients can't hire you if they don't know you exist... Which is why it's SO important to post content to Social Media. Consistently. But that's easier said than done... To learn how to post consistently, you have to DO consistently. Which is why I've created the 31 Day Challenge- to hold your feet to the fire so you can create content, post, and finally attract your ideal clients to you, rather than chase them down...

Transcripts

Speaker:

Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel. In this episode, we're going to talk about

Speaker:

ADHD, creativity and how you can channel it for sales

Speaker:

savvy in your business. Hi, I'm Katie McManus, business

Speaker:

strategist and money mindset coach. And welcome to the Weenie cat.

Speaker:

One of the fears a lot of new business owners have is that if they

Speaker:

quit their job, if they quit working for a company, go start a

Speaker:

business and decide not for them, that they're never going to

Speaker:

get hired again, and that the skills that they'll spend

Speaker:

all this time and money and energy learning to start this business

Speaker:

won't be applicable back on the job market. And I'm

Speaker:

here to call bullshit because hindsight is 2020 and

Speaker:

I'm constantly thinking about if I knew what I knew now

Speaker:

from running my business, from learning how to attract clients,

Speaker:

using social media and different ways to promote my business, I'm

Speaker:

constantly thinking about ways I could have used this in my past

Speaker:

sales roles. And not only would

Speaker:

these strategies help me be more successful, help me make more money

Speaker:

for myself and the company that I work for, but it

Speaker:

would give me an outlet for my creativity, for my ADHD brain

Speaker:

to thrive in these jobs that I formally

Speaker:

felt were a massive misfit for

Speaker:

me, where I felt like I had to constantly burn myself out in

Speaker:

order to reach quota. So really quickly want to debunk that

Speaker:

belief. If you leave your job to start a business and decide it's not for

Speaker:

you, there will always be someone who's willing to

Speaker:

hire you back. I mean, unless you light the building on fire on the

Speaker:

way out and really tear them down on social media,

Speaker:

at that point, you probably won't get hired back. But

Speaker:

excluding those circumstances, if you start a business,

Speaker:

that in itself is not a disqualifier for you to get hired into a job

Speaker:

again. In addition to that, the things that you learn through starting a

Speaker:

business will make you that much more valuable as an

Speaker:

employee. So if you're worried about that, stop it. This

Speaker:

is the end of that fear. Okay, deal. Episode over. Just

Speaker:

kidding.

Speaker:

So with this episode, I'm actually going to be showing you some behind the

Speaker:

scenes of how I come up with different

Speaker:

offerings in my business that help me grow into different

Speaker:

verticals. One of the things that I regret about my sales career

Speaker:

is that I didn't have the entrepreneurial skills that I have today

Speaker:

with what's available to us through social media and what

Speaker:

I've learned about self promotion and enrolling clients.

Speaker:

All this could have been applied to all the sales roles that I had in

Speaker:

the past. Now, I didn't know any of this shit back then. I

Speaker:

couldn't use all this back then because, quite frankly, TikTok did

Speaker:

not exist. Reels did not exist. LinkedIn was a

Speaker:

completely different environment ten years ago than it is today.

Speaker:

But with that regret, that shoulda, coulda, woulda, oh, my God, I wish I'd known

Speaker:

this back then. Comes an idea of, oh, my God. This

Speaker:

is an offer I could do now. So I'm going to walk you through

Speaker:

how I'm applying the learning I've had in the last six years in starting my

Speaker:

business and growing my business, and how if I had this knowledge

Speaker:

back then, I would apply it to these kinds of jobs, and I would show

Speaker:

you how I would kind of frame everything up. And from that, here's how

Speaker:

I develop a new offer. Here's how I roll something new out that I

Speaker:

know there's need for because I needed it back

Speaker:

then. And as you're listening to me walk you

Speaker:

through, here's this one job and how I would have utilized

Speaker:

these types of social media platforms to gain more business

Speaker:

there. I want you to be thinking about what are the skills that

Speaker:

you've learned in the recent years that you could have

Speaker:

applied to you ten years ago, that ten years ago,

Speaker:

you like. It would have been a game changer for

Speaker:

them. Because I guarantee you there are still people in the

Speaker:

world who have that same limitation that

Speaker:

ten years ago you did, and you in the here and now

Speaker:

can develop a program that will help them

Speaker:

overcome, that will help them be massively successful in

Speaker:

whatever it is that you do. One of the things that's really challenging about being

Speaker:

a business strategist is my brain works really

Speaker:

fast connecting the dots, and it's not easy

Speaker:

for me to explain how I come to the conclusions that I come

Speaker:

to to help my clients, and because I just

Speaker:

recently went through this and broke all this down for myself and figured out this

Speaker:

new offer. It's fresh in my mind, and I am so excited to share it

Speaker:

with you. And I'm curious, at the end of this episode, if

Speaker:

you come up with an offer that you're super excited to

Speaker:

offer your audience, then I would love it if you were

Speaker:

to dm me and tell me about it, because conversations like

Speaker:

this are where successful businesses are born. Even if that

Speaker:

conversation is happening in your own head while you're listening to me talk at you,

Speaker:

here are the things that I wish I had known back when I was in

Speaker:

sales for all these different companies. And that would have

Speaker:

made work so much more fun. That would have helped

Speaker:

me build deeper relationships with my clients. That would have helped me

Speaker:

build my personal brand and make me a more viable

Speaker:

candidate when I was ready to move on. And that might have

Speaker:

had a really awesome impact on my

Speaker:

workplace, allowing for everyone in my role to

Speaker:

be able to utilize their creative Adhdness

Speaker:

in different and exciting ways. And when it boils down to it,

Speaker:

it's essentially building a personal brand that's aligned with the company.

Speaker:

So there are three companies that I want to acknowledge as I'm

Speaker:

breaking down my shoulda, coulda, woulda's of how I would

Speaker:

utilize my entrepreneurial skills in a sales role. And

Speaker:

the reason I've picked these three companies is that they're very different.

Speaker:

One was Equinox, which, if you're not familiar, is a high end fitness club

Speaker:

where people would pay for membership and buy packs of personal

Speaker:

training. Another one was solar energy,

Speaker:

where people were choosing to have solar panels put

Speaker:

on their roofs to reduce their energy costs. And the last

Speaker:

one was a SaaS company, Cisco, where they were selling

Speaker:

software as a service to other businesses who needed their service.

Speaker:

So let's start with Equinox, shall we? Let's acknowledge the

Speaker:

limitations of the job, right? So if you're a sales

Speaker:

advisor at a fitness club, you're

Speaker:

limited by geography. Okay? It's not like you're selling memberships for a club

Speaker:

in San Francisco. It doesn't mean that you can sell to someone in Boise, Idaho.

Speaker:

That's not going to happen. That's too long of a drive to go and work

Speaker:

out. Okay? So one of the things that I would

Speaker:

do is I would get on social media in a very

Speaker:

intentional way where I was geotagging different places in the

Speaker:

neighborhood. And actually, as I think through this, back when I worked at

Speaker:

Equinox, Instagram didn't have reels. There was no such thing as

Speaker:

TikTok. God, do I feel old. But let's assume

Speaker:

that I worked at an equinox in the here and now,

Speaker:

where reels are a thing and TikToks are a thing. Here's how I would

Speaker:

build my personal brand on those platforms to

Speaker:

attract more people to buy gym memberships from

Speaker:

me. Honestly, I wouldn't do a hard sell. I would

Speaker:

probably set up an account on TikTok and have things repurposed to

Speaker:

Instagram, where I was doing a lot of day in the

Speaker:

life, right? So day in the life of a membership

Speaker:

advisor at a high end fitness club, I would probably

Speaker:

talk through me picking out my outfit for the day.

Speaker:

Because how you pick out an outfit to work at a fitness club is you

Speaker:

pick out an outfit that, like, halfway through the day, part of it will work

Speaker:

for your workout, and then you can change into another outfit. There is a

Speaker:

costume change in the day. I would talk through

Speaker:

the healthy things that I would eat and the not so healthy things

Speaker:

that I would eat. I would do a day in the life of here's where

Speaker:

I go for my coffee in the morning. I would talk about what I do

Speaker:

when I first get into the office. I check my email, and then I get

Speaker:

a call from the front desk. There's someone who's here for a tour. I'm sharing

Speaker:

these things because I'm allowing my followers on this

Speaker:

hypothetical account to see the kinds of things that I

Speaker:

like to get a sense of my personality, to see what

Speaker:

my routine is a little bit. All things that they wouldn't know

Speaker:

unless we were friends and slipped in there. There would be

Speaker:

things like, I can go for a tour of the gym if I'm curious about

Speaker:

membership. Oh, here's Katie working out with

Speaker:

her personal trainer. Oh, here's Katie doing deadlifting and getting a

Speaker:

personal pr of 180 pounds, which I did once. I'm very proud of myself.

Speaker:

I haven't gotten back up to there since the pandemic, though. Let's not talk about

Speaker:

it. I'm a little sensitive about it. Oh, cool. She's working with different

Speaker:

personal trainers who have different specialties. Interesting.

Speaker:

I'm curious about working with one of those personal trainers.

Speaker:

I might talk about. Oh, my God, I'm so excited. I get to go for

Speaker:

a massage and a facial later today. I'm so lucky. I work in a

Speaker:

place where on your lunch break, you can go and get a massage and a

Speaker:

facial. Or after work, you don't even have to leave the building, and you get

Speaker:

a massage and a facial and slipped in there occasionally. If

Speaker:

there was a membership drive, if I was asking for referrals, I would say, hey,

Speaker:

by the way, you know me on here because I do a lot of lifestyle

Speaker:

stuff, but here's what I do for work. And if you live in this geographic

Speaker:

area and you're curious about membership, when you come into the club, ask for

Speaker:

me or dm me and set up a time to come in for a

Speaker:

tour.

Speaker:

Another element of what I could do if reels existed and I were on

Speaker:

TikTok and I had these accounts is I would make very strategic

Speaker:

partnerships with different businesses in the area that

Speaker:

were complementary to belonging to a high end fitness club.

Speaker:

So clothing boutiques and nice

Speaker:

restaurants. I could potentially line up some sponsorship

Speaker:

things for my account if I had a certain amount of followers. And I was

Speaker:

saying, hey, I'm going to this restaurant. Here are the three best things on the

Speaker:

menu. And I was driving new clientele there. That's one way

Speaker:

to get the employees of a business to start talking about

Speaker:

you, is to say, oh, we were actually featured on that. Katie McManus

Speaker:

TikTok. She's an influencer. She does this. She has a lot of lifestyle

Speaker:

stuff. Her favorite things on the menu are this. If you've ever

Speaker:

thought about signing up for that gym, you should go talk to her. In

Speaker:

addition to a social media strategy, one of the things that I wish I had

Speaker:

thought of back then was to make a meetup

Speaker:

list of all of the different people, of all the different clients that I had

Speaker:

signed up for membership. And I would make this a separate email list.

Speaker:

Anytime I was going to be going to the food truck

Speaker:

park with some friends, or that I was going to go to an outdoor

Speaker:

yoga class, or that I was going to go to the Union street

Speaker:

fair, I would say, hey, I'm going here with a whole bunch of people.

Speaker:

If you want to meet some other members of the club and get to know

Speaker:

some folks, then you should come along and here's how you can find

Speaker:

us. Imagine the above and beyond service of cool. I've

Speaker:

joined this membership, maybe I just moved to the area from New York City and

Speaker:

I'm new in San Francisco. I don't know anyone. I'm going to sign up for

Speaker:

a gym. Oh, my God. The membership advisor is inviting me

Speaker:

to hang out with a bunch of other people who also have an interest in

Speaker:

fitness, in a social environment where it's not weird for me to go up

Speaker:

to them and be like, hey, how much are you lifting there? Hey,

Speaker:

I noticed that you're running really fast on that treadmill. Let me run fast next

Speaker:

to you and hopefully we'll talk. No, you're out of breath. Me too. Okay, never

Speaker:

mind. Hey, we're both in the locker room together and kind of naked.

Speaker:

That's kind of awkward. But imagine you're new in an area, or maybe you just

Speaker:

don't know a whole lot of people and someone is making it easy

Speaker:

for you to enter a social engagement where they know you and they can

Speaker:

introduce, you know. Think about that. Think about that added

Speaker:

element of customer service and relationship building.

Speaker:

A member who becomes friends with a membership advisor when

Speaker:

they tell people, when they refer people to join the club with them. They're not

Speaker:

just saying, go and talk to anyone. They're saying, hey, go and talk to my

Speaker:

friend Katie. She will sign you up for membership. Go and ask

Speaker:

for her and tell her that I sent you because they got a referral

Speaker:

bonus in building this list. I would also want to have

Speaker:

some different fields where I talk about what people do, what

Speaker:

their expertise is, what they're interested in. So when

Speaker:

a new member joins and say they're looking for a job, and I know that

Speaker:

one of my other members is hiring for a job, I can connect

Speaker:

them. Or if two people have the same interest, say they both want to learn

Speaker:

how to knit. If I see a post about a new knitting class, I could

Speaker:

send it to them. It would just be that extra touch of relationship

Speaker:

building, the kind of thing that you do with friends. If TikTok

Speaker:

and Reels existed and I somehow were still

Speaker:

working at Equinox, which, thank God, I'm not, these are all the things that

Speaker:

I would absolutely be doing to bring in more business.

Speaker:

Now, the one thing that I would want to be conscious of would be my

Speaker:

safety. Obviously, I'm a woman on the Internet. I would want

Speaker:

to be very intentional about not sharing things at the time I was

Speaker:

there. So I'd be creating a lot of content and filming a lot of

Speaker:

stuff and then posting it after the fact, because my job would be at

Speaker:

a location. But I would want to make sure that if someone

Speaker:

wanted to bump into me at coffee in the morning, they wouldn't really know when

Speaker:

I was going to coffee or if I were out to dinner with friends. I

Speaker:

wouldn't want them to show up while I'm out to dinner with friends. A lot

Speaker:

of this would be scheduled after the fact. If you

Speaker:

are on social media, be very conscious of how much

Speaker:

information you're giving people about where you are and when. But unfortunately,

Speaker:

there are just some weirdos out there that you have to be careful of. Be

Speaker:

smart people.

Speaker:

Now, the next company, there's no

Speaker:

chance in hell that I would ever want to

Speaker:

work for this company again. It has now merged with Tesla. If

Speaker:

you work for Tesla, if you've worked for Tesla or any Elon Musk

Speaker:

company, my heart goes out to you. It's awful. They sell you on the

Speaker:

koolaid of doing something good for the world, and then they treat you like garbage.

Speaker:

It is the worst. So for the sake of me not

Speaker:

wanting to vomit while talking about this,

Speaker:

I'm going to refer to it as a solar company. If I were working for

Speaker:

a solar company. And I knew what I knew. Now

Speaker:

I would again want to build up a following on social media.

Speaker:

Now, for solar, I would probably want to be more present

Speaker:

on a platform like Instagram. The reason I would pick Instagram

Speaker:

is because the average user on Instagram is a bit older than the average user

Speaker:

on TikTok. And we want to go for older users because

Speaker:

they're more likely to own homes. And the only people who can be your clients

Speaker:

are people who own homes because you can't put solar

Speaker:

panels over your window from an apartment building. The other cool thing

Speaker:

about Instagram is you can tag different locations. The other thing

Speaker:

I love about Instagram for this kind of promotion is

Speaker:

geotagging is really common. So you can post something and

Speaker:

say that you are in a certain location, and it's more likely to show that

Speaker:

post to people in that area because it's relevant to them. It's kind of like

Speaker:

using hashtags, right? So if you're in San Francisco and you

Speaker:

say, this is the location of where I'm posting, this is San Francisco, people in

Speaker:

San Francisco are likely to see it than people all over the

Speaker:

country. I would want to do some day in the life so that people felt

Speaker:

like they knew me, but I wouldn't want my day in the life to be

Speaker:

as personal as it would be for working in the fitness

Speaker:

club. I would want it to be a little more focused on

Speaker:

the work that I was doing. Like today I'm designing a system for

Speaker:

this new client I have. We're seeing if solar panels will even work on

Speaker:

their roof. Today I'm going to check in on a client who's

Speaker:

having their install today. And here's the little giftie that I'm

Speaker:

bringing for them. Or today I have

Speaker:

four back to back assessments, and I'm driving

Speaker:

from here to kingdom come. And here are the podcasts I'm going to be listening

Speaker:

to while I'm on the road. Those are the kinds of posts that I would

Speaker:

want to do so that people felt like they knew me enough that

Speaker:

they could connect with me. Like, people may be curious about what you do,

Speaker:

but they're not going to ask you about what you do if they're not ready

Speaker:

to buy. But if you're sharing something like the podcast that I'm listening

Speaker:

to, they may say, oh, if you like those podcasts,

Speaker:

here's three others that I love. I think you should try them. And that

Speaker:

gets the conversation started. I'd give people enough information for them to have

Speaker:

that in. I would also want to have a really strong vein

Speaker:

of edutainment where I'm educating people on

Speaker:

solar energy, on how they get solar panels

Speaker:

on their roof. And I would want to entertain them at the same time. So

Speaker:

I might make it funny. I might dress up like a solar panel

Speaker:

and hang out by the pool on a lounge chair and soak up the

Speaker:

sun and have a voiceover explaining how solar panels work.

Speaker:

I would probably do some edutainment around stupid questions that people ask about

Speaker:

solar and make it funny so that people don't feel

Speaker:

ashamed about asking them. But it also debunks them before I get to talking to

Speaker:

them. And just like I would with Equinox, I want to make strong

Speaker:

partnerships with businesses in the area. And again, I would want those businesses to

Speaker:

be adjacent to the work that I do. Okay? So instead of going to

Speaker:

restaurants and clothing boutiques, I would probably want to go to paint

Speaker:

stores and different home improvement, maybe some

Speaker:

interior designers, engineering companies,

Speaker:

landscapers. I'd want to connect up with them and feature

Speaker:

them in some way, shape or form on my instagram to

Speaker:

send business their way. Because here's how that works. You send business to

Speaker:

someone, they're appreciative, the next time they get a request for solar

Speaker:

panels, they're going to send them to you. And again, like

Speaker:

with working in the fitness club, I would want to make sure

Speaker:

that I'm doing this on a delay because I wouldn't want people to know where

Speaker:

I was and when I was there. Everything would be, oh, a few days

Speaker:

ago, here's where I was and here's what I did, and here's what my day

Speaker:

in the life looks like. And while a lot of this content would get people

Speaker:

comfortable with who I am, make them feel like they know me, and

Speaker:

educate them about how they could get solar on their roof,

Speaker:

I would have a consistent call to action. If you're a

Speaker:

homeowner and if you're spending more than x amount of dollars on

Speaker:

energy every single month, and if you're curious if solar would

Speaker:

work for you, then here's a link to book a virtual consult with

Speaker:

me and we can assess if this is actually going to be a good fit

Speaker:

for you. I mean, barring some incredible natural disaster that

Speaker:

makes what I do now not viable. I don't know what that natural disaster

Speaker:

would be, but thank God. Thank God I would

Speaker:

never have to do this again. And I'm sorry. If you really like your job

Speaker:

in solar, more power to you. Get it. More power to you. That

Speaker:

was not an intentional pun, but I always love a good pun.

Speaker:

More power to you. Okay, moving on.

Speaker:

That wasn't even a pun. That was like a really bad dad joke.

Speaker:

And last but not least, if I still worked for

Speaker:

Cisco or a tech company that offered software as a

Speaker:

service, screw Instagram. Forget TikTok. Where

Speaker:

I would be spending most of my time would be LinkedIn.

Speaker:

Now I love LinkedIn. LinkedIn is one of my favorite places in the world.

Speaker:

If you had told me ten years ago that I would derive this

Speaker:

much enjoyment from being on LinkedIn, I would have thought you were on drugs or

Speaker:

crazy or both. But LinkedIn is honestly one of the most magical places.

Speaker:

And I'm not even being facetious with this. I have grown my business

Speaker:

exponentially by being on LinkedIn. I have developed

Speaker:

actual, real, honest to goodness friendships

Speaker:

and business partnerships through LinkedIn. For instance, my

Speaker:

podcast producer, Neil Valio, I met him through

Speaker:

LinkedIn. He was a content creator, and

Speaker:

I started noticing him about a year and a half

Speaker:

before I hired him. There was a point about six months into

Speaker:

us being connected that I was like, this is the guy. When I'm ready to

Speaker:

start the podcast, this is the person I'm going to work with. And

Speaker:

it took about a year for me to settle into that. Being ready,

Speaker:

but not ready. And when I contacted him,

Speaker:

I basically had to tell him, shut up and take my money

Speaker:

because I had built this trust with him over the last year and a

Speaker:

half. LinkedIn is a magical place. If I

Speaker:

worked in a SaaS company, I would absolutely be building

Speaker:

my personal brand there and attracting clients through it.

Speaker:

And again, my approach here would be a little different,

Speaker:

right? Because you have to focus on different things depending on the platform and who

Speaker:

your ideal client is and what you're selling. So if I worked

Speaker:

for Cisco and I were building my personal brand on LinkedIn,

Speaker:

I would be sharing some water cooler

Speaker:

content. Like, here's what I'm doing on my vacation, and here's

Speaker:

the restaurant I'm super excited to go to when I go to this

Speaker:

conference in February. Light personal branding stuff.

Speaker:

I wouldn't be sharing the vulnerable things that I share on

Speaker:

LinkedIn now. That's part of my personal brand. I wouldn't be

Speaker:

making a post about sales by telling a story about a bad date because I

Speaker:

would be representing the company. It wouldn't just be me that I'm

Speaker:

representing. I'd have to walk that line. I would want to

Speaker:

position myself as a sales leader. I would want to talk about best

Speaker:

practices in sales. I would want to talk about my philosophy

Speaker:

about building relationships with potential clients. I would want to talk

Speaker:

about what my steps were and why I do them and what makes them

Speaker:

good. I would want to teach good sales through my

Speaker:

platform. Now, this would do a few things. A, this would show

Speaker:

that I know what I'm doing and that my clients should trust me because I

Speaker:

have a process and I'm going to be supportive of them, and I'm going to

Speaker:

be ethical. And also, this would line

Speaker:

up other jobs for me if ever I needed to

Speaker:

transition into another industry or another role at another company. And

Speaker:

the beautiful thing about LinkedIn is that only 1%

Speaker:

of the people on LinkedIn are actually creating content.

Speaker:

So it's really easy to stick out, even if your stuff is a little boring.

Speaker:

I mean, if I were talking about sales all the time, I'd get kind of

Speaker:

bored. Another big part of what I would be posting about would be about the

Speaker:

ideal client for what I was selling. I wouldn't be talking

Speaker:

about, like, here's a feature that we do, and here's a thing, and here's a

Speaker:

button that you'll discover in the dashboard, and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker:

That's boring. I would talk about the thing that someone was

Speaker:

crying about when they finally got on the phone with me to buy the

Speaker:

thing. When I worked for Cisco, I sold a tool for

Speaker:

Internet security to msps, and MSP stands for a managed service

Speaker:

provider. A managed service provider is basically a company that

Speaker:

is outsourced tech for smaller companies that can't afford

Speaker:

or do not want to house their own tech department. So

Speaker:

msps are contracted by companies like law firms or

Speaker:

accounting firms. So I want you to imagine you're an MSP. You're a managed

Speaker:

service provider. Your system just got hacked. So that means all of your

Speaker:

clients just got hacked. That's painful. That is something that is really hard

Speaker:

to come back from. It violates trust with your clients,

Speaker:

and it guarantees some really bad reviews

Speaker:

online. Right. So one of the things that I would want to showcase is like,

Speaker:

oh, my God, I just got off the phone with an MSP. I would never

Speaker:

name them, but here's what they were really upset about. Here's what

Speaker:

happened, and this is heartbreaking. And if you had a

Speaker:

tool like the one that we offer, here's how it would mitigate the

Speaker:

risk. Now, there's no guarantee it would work 100%. We can't guarantee that

Speaker:

these people are smart, but here's how it

Speaker:

could add an extra layer of protection. Now, the tricky thing with

Speaker:

marketing for a thing like this is like if the product is working,

Speaker:

just nothing bad happens, right?

Speaker:

It's kind of hard to paint. Like, here's what success looks like, because it's just

Speaker:

like nothing bad has happened.

Speaker:

So I would want to lean into the empathetic marketing model

Speaker:

that I've developed and that I train to all of my clients to showcase. Like,

Speaker:

here's where you are now, and here's what's possible. Here's the peace of mind you

Speaker:

could have. I'd want to create distance from how they're feeling now and how they

Speaker:

could feel. And I would want to consistently invite people to

Speaker:

networking chats, even though I don't do those right now. If I were still working

Speaker:

for Cisco, I would have a link on there two times a day. A

Speaker:

networking chat with someone who's either an MSP or

Speaker:

works in an adjacent industry. I would

Speaker:

regularly create a short two

Speaker:

to five minute video talking about a

Speaker:

struggle a lot of my clients have and how my product

Speaker:

could solve for that. And I would send that out to every single damn

Speaker:

lead on my list. Another thing that I wish I had done

Speaker:

back then. What am I going to say next? Well, you'll have to keep listening

Speaker:

to find out. But first, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel.

Speaker:

Another thing that I wish I had done back, because it would have been

Speaker:

possible we had the tools back then, even if all this other

Speaker:

stuff didn't happen. I wish I had hosted a networking

Speaker:

call for all of my clients because they all had

Speaker:

the same kinds of problems, they all had the same kinds of goals, and

Speaker:

it's really helpful to be in a room of your peers. And the beautiful thing

Speaker:

about hosting a networking call is that whatever smart thing

Speaker:

gets said in that room gets attributed to you because

Speaker:

it was your space. I can't tell you how many times

Speaker:

people come to brave biz labs. The Friday call that I do on the fourth

Speaker:

Friday of every month. If you want to come, there's going to be a link

Speaker:

in the show notes. You can go to weeniecast.com

Speaker:

bravelabs,

Speaker:

but I can't tell you how many times I've had people in brave biz

Speaker:

labs. Someone else says something really smart,

Speaker:

succinct, to the point, and is massively helpful, and a couple of

Speaker:

days later I get quoted for having said it. Now, I usually try to

Speaker:

correct people because I don't want to take credit for smart things being said. That

Speaker:

didn't come out of my face hole. But that's what know

Speaker:

if someone gets a solution or builds a relationship it always refers back to,

Speaker:

oh, it was on Katie's call, oh, it was on Tiffany's networking call,

Speaker:

oh, it was on Bob's networking call that I was able to figure this out

Speaker:

or build that connection. Now, of course, knowing what I

Speaker:

know now, I do have regret that I wasn't able to do this back

Speaker:

when I was in these different roles. But here's the cool thing about regret. You

Speaker:

can either have it and let it waste your time, or you can do something

Speaker:

with it. So one of the things that I'm really excited to be rolling out

Speaker:

in my business is a new offering for companies

Speaker:

that want their salespeople to be trained on

Speaker:

entrepreneurial sales to learn how to create their

Speaker:

own pipeline through building their own personal but company

Speaker:

aligned brand on social media. Now, this offering

Speaker:

is time intensive on my behalf, so I will only be accepting two to

Speaker:

three clients per year for this offer. But instead

Speaker:

of just kicking around like, oh, man, I wish I had done that. I'm

Speaker:

excited to create something with it. And I share that because I know there are

Speaker:

lots of people who have this kind of regret. Like, oh, God, I wish this

Speaker:

thing had been around back when I was doing XYZ. That could be a

Speaker:

business. If there's something you've learned now that could be

Speaker:

applicable to former you, I guarantee there are

Speaker:

plenty of former yous in the here and now who could use your help.

Speaker:

My ADHD self who would have so benefited

Speaker:

from having an outlet for her creativity, for having

Speaker:

something that allowed for her brilliance to come out. I

Speaker:

wish that I had this back then. There are so

Speaker:

many ADHD professionals who have to force

Speaker:

themselves into a mold that's handed to them. Here's how we do the job,

Speaker:

and here's how we've always done the job, and you have to do it exactly

Speaker:

the way that we're teaching you how to do the job. It's why people with

Speaker:

ADHD are so prone to burnout in nine to five

Speaker:

jobs, because we don't think like neurotypicals. And that's a very

Speaker:

neurotypical way of approaching business. We're not linear.

Speaker:

It would have given me that ability to go outside the box

Speaker:

and try things and get excited about new

Speaker:

opportunities and learn. I'd be constantly

Speaker:

learning. One of the things that I ran up against in every one of these

Speaker:

jobs is I'd get a year in and I'd be so bored of the same

Speaker:

conversation over and over and over and over again. There was nothing

Speaker:

that was adding any judge to my day. This could have been

Speaker:

that thing that kept my head in the game. It could have made so much

Speaker:

more money for the companies I worked for. It could have helped

Speaker:

me win awards and accolades and all that stuff, but

Speaker:

it didn't. So hopefully, through this new offer that I'm

Speaker:

doing, it will help other ADHD

Speaker:

entrepreneurial salespeople overachieve in a way that

Speaker:

showcases their talents, that uses all

Speaker:

of their ADHD brilliance to create new business, to develop

Speaker:

relationships, to build their personal brand.

Speaker:

If you're in corporate and you happen to listen to this podcast

Speaker:

and you're curious about bringing this kind of program in, then I invite you to

Speaker:

book a generate income strategy call with me. Now, of course, it's going to be

Speaker:

a little different than my normal generate income strategy calls because we're not going to

Speaker:

be talking about building your business. We're going to be talking about building

Speaker:

the business of your salespeople and how

Speaker:

they can really step into entrepreneurship in their roles

Speaker:

to benefit themselves and the company. And to book that, I want you to go

Speaker:

to weeniecast.com strategycall.

Speaker:

And for my ADHD business owners out there who are thinking

Speaker:

about what you want to offer, what's the thing you wish you

Speaker:

had ten years ago? Because while the world evolves quickly

Speaker:

in this digital landscape, it doesn't evolve that

Speaker:

quickly. There are a lot of people left behind

Speaker:

and a lot of skills that I'm sure you have learned in the last ten

Speaker:

years that could benefit people who are still living. Ten years

Speaker:

ago,

Speaker:

I didn't even realize Luna was over there. Luna, you done? Are you

Speaker:

done making noise? Squirrel, squirrel,

Speaker:

squirrel, squirrel.
