| + | * 1. Think of Facebook as a publishing platform | ||
| + | * Facebook as source of traffic - that is old facebook. FB is now trying to keep users on FB longer, so external links not held in high regard | ||
| + | * Brands that only use Facebook as an amplifying channel for their websites, or blog, are going to suffer the most from the algorithm changes. | ||
| + | * Their change: Think of creating content direct for Facebook. No external links. | ||

| + | * 3. Break up with paid boosting | ||
| + | * Paying for boosting may not be a sustainable strategy | ||
| + | * Focus on organic only means focus on which posts work for you | ||
| + | * “only boost high-performing posts to generate extra engagement and reach, not clicks.” | ||
| + | * Paid social is different from organic social | ||
| + | * 4. Change the way you measure success. | ||
| + | * Number of likes may be meaningless | ||

| + | Hi Garnet, this is Isiah from HubSpot sales. I am here to help you better use our free products or explore paid products we offer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | 6:01 AM | ||
| + | I am considering the CRM product. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I currently use a CRM software that is entirely local to my iPad called MyCRM. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:02 AM | ||
| + | 1) I get to create a wide variety of tags to add to my customers. My customers are hair salons, and their stylists. It allows me to enter hair salons, and then attach stylist records to the hair salons. Both records store the same info, just there are company and individual records associated with the company. Works well. As for tagging..... | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:04 AM | ||
| + | I can add tags list “Propect” “Visited” “Visited-2020-04” “Customer” “Customer-2020-04” to any record, or remove them, as I want. I can then get subsets, like “not prospect and followup_05” | ||
| + | |||
| + | The querying via tags. Tag and tag and (tag or tag or tag). Is very powerful. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Then 2) I can put just that subset of records on a google map. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:07 AM | ||
| + | So I can start at some place in an area, and pull-up a st of tags Customers and Prospects | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:08 AM | ||
| + | Isiah | ||
| + | You can create up to 10 custom properties/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:08 AM | ||
| + | The system I am using, I add two tags every month. Visited-2020-04 and Customer-2020-04. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:12 AM | ||
| + | oh yeah and that stylist would probably also have tags. Followup-03. Followup-06. Followup-09. Followup-12. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:13 AM | ||
| + | Isiah | ||
| + | Here are the default properties/ | ||
| + | There are also tasks you can set up, so no need to create a tag for follow ups | ||
| + | https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:14 AM | ||
| + | Well, i may not get to the followup. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:15 AM | ||
| + | Isiah | ||
| + | got it | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:16 AM | ||
| + | Scanning that document. BTW my business is entirely about personally visiting the stylists to sharpen their scissors. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:17 AM | ||
| + | i contacted 200 of them about a 75% on my services during this California shutdown, and barely 3% answered the text messages and facebook messages. These are people who personally know me from my visits. I was shocked | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:19 AM | ||
| + | 75% discount. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:20 AM | ||
| + | Isiah | ||
| + | That's great | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:21 AM | ||
| + | Ok thanks. Not even sales force has a tagging feature like what I use in this software. They used to, but took it out of more recent versions. They have a 2000 character field that things can be typed in, but that is not the same, too easy to mistype the tag words. SW i use lets me select them from a list via check marks, and makes it easy to add new tags on the fly. | ||
| + | |||
| + | that and easy ability to create Boolean queries of the tags, works better than anything else i have seen. | ||
| + | |||
| + | thanks for your time | ||
| + | |||
| + | Can i have a transcript of this chat mailed to me? | ||
| + | |||
| + | 6:26 AM | ||
| + | Isiah | ||
| + | Yes! What is your email address? | ||
