Today’s episode is a little bit different, and I hope you will enjoy this new format of the podcast episode. The holiday season officially starts in next couple of days with Black Friday.
Now it’s time to use all your resources and get the best results in your retail store. Probably you will need some additional help and hire people during the season, so I am here to help you how to chose the right person and the best one.
’ve got a question for you.
How many free things have you downloaded, watched or subscribed to in the last 6 weeks?
If you’re anything like me, the answer could be anywhere from a half dozen, to a hundred. Between the podcasts I listen to every day, the facebook lives, the free downloads and free trials, I would estimate I probably consume free stuff at a rate of around a 10-20 items a week.
Sometimes it can be a little bit difficult to get your head out of that headspace when you’re in a bit of a funk. So I brought along today’s guest Alison Donaghey. She’s a radio host of the show think opposite. She’s the author of an international best-selling book also called Think opposite and she talks about using what she calls the domino effect to change your business to change the world. And she’s also a cause and effect strategist. And today she’s going to show us how you can expand your mind in ways you didn’t think possible.
When you get up this morning what was the thing that you thought just got in your way? Did you think Ah I’m sorry busy I just can’t organize dinner? What’s going to be for dinner? Oh I’m so busy I have to get the kids ready. If I just had a little bit more money I could organize for somebody to be doing this thing that I don’t like doing. We are always going to have stuff that get in the way. But today’s guest Maxwell Ivey is an inspirational and motivational personal coach. And what I love about it is he also runs a business buying and selling carnival equipment and amusement park rides. Something a little bit different. But Max gets what it takes when you’re retail.
I know that when you are growing your business you need to have a team. But sometimes you can’t afford a full-time team so you might be working with a remote V.A. or you might have part-time people picking and packing for you. And you got part-time social media person but sometimes it can feel like a luxury when you’ve got someone full-time and keeping all those balls juggling in the air and making sure everybody gets along can be really difficult.. So I’ve brought Jeffrey Davidson onto the show to help you help your team.
We could all do with more customers and we could always do with friends in business. And I use the word friends with some quotes around them because growing your retail business is not about doing this on your own. So I have brought Erica on to talk about how you can grow your business and improve your customer experience just by putting yourself out there and creating some partnerships and maybe even some streamlining some systems along the way.
In this episode my guest is Jasmin Terrany and she is going to challenge your beliefs and your thoughts on motherhood parenting work-life balance and even success is all of this actually possible

Salena: Hey there and welcome to this week’s episode of the bringing business to retail podcast. I had a recent digital marketing conference, I know I’ve been harping on about it for quite some time. At that recent tropic and conversion conference, one of the repeating themes that came up was that, in order to grow, it is super important to automate your systems But once automation is paramount to business growth, I feel like some brands have forgotten that customers are real people.

We have all seen the stories of product brands that have been featured by people like Kim Kardashian and we wish that that could be us, we wish that we could just get a celebrity to take our product and flash it all over Instagram, but the fact, is that is not the beginning or the ending and there’s a lot of technical stuff as well as legal stuff that we need to put in place before we use influencer marketing.
