When I work with a client on a Strategy call, my job is to help them identify what's really working to get sales now, and identify opportunities for them to grow their sales without growing their ad costs. Once we have the facts, we make a solid plan that's easy to follow and will grow their sales. I almost always start by looking at this one report in Google Analytics, because it's the most reliable source of data that connects actions to sales, so you stop guessing and know for sure when something you do is working. And actually, it only takes about 10 minutes to build and analyze this report, so it's super easy. Listen in, plan on spending 10 minutes a week on this one task, and watch your sales grow. I know Google Analytics can make people sweat, so we made you a simple 7 click guide to building and understanding your report. I think you'll love it. Grab yours, download or print it, and you'll feel like a pro in 7 clicks! https://thesocialsalesgirls.lpages.co/7-clicks-to-google-analytics/

I got to thinking that if our Members are looking for ideas to get some fast sales, that many of you are looking too.

Almost every eCommerce store owner needs to pay for some traffic so that they can get the sales that they want. But this year, our costs have grown as our results have been shrinking.

The fastest way to get the results you want If you've ever found yourself trying "all the things" in an effort to get the results you want, you're in good company. I think it happens to all of us at one time or another. When this happens, most of us jump into action and we try a bunch of things to see if we can move the needle. But really, that's not usually going to solve your problem. The truth is that you'll improve your chances of being successful if you stop and take some time to figure out why you're not making progress. Do this, and instead of throwing spaghetti at the wall, you'll know what you need to do to fix your problem. It sounds simple, and I know that it doesn't always feel simple, so I grabbed Tina Bar On, who leads our Member Success Team, and together we outlined a strategy that anyone can use.

If you've been afraid to simplify your product selection and slash your inventory costs, you're not alone. But before you rule it out, listen to what can happen when you rip off the bandaid and slash your inventory. In 2020 Alexandra had her best sales month ever and finally cracked a $100K year. Even though she was excited to reach a big milestone, she felt like she was on the verge of a breakdown. She had several product lines, and restocking took hours each week. She was teaching online classes, selling breast pump parts, toys, carriers, and more. Managing inventory and listing new products took a huge amount of her time each week. She simply could not get everything done. And, she couldn't see how she could grow her business, make money, and keep her sanity. So, she slashed her product lines down to one category. It was a bold move that paid off in a big way. Listen in as Alexandra shares the steps she took, and how a few months later, her sales have tripled!

I don't want you to grow your business by relying on ads to get sales. It's risky. More often than not, you'll end up upside down financially, but there's another reason. You might spend a lot of time tinkering in your ad account, and lose your focus on what will really move the needle. There's no doubt that Ads are great for finding your people, and getting them to visit your site. But. I've seen lots of evidence that there is a better way to get sales. Listen in, and I'll share the What and the How.

Last week I was answering Member's questions in our Inner Circle, and when I came across this question, I stopped in my tracks. "What if my ultimate goal was to sell my business? What boxes does my business need to check in order to be attractive to a buyer?" And if you know me at all, you know that this is my thing. I've grown and sold 2 businesses, and my plan is to do it again. But when I created my response, I realized that my advice is good for everyone. It's not just for people who might sell one day. Nope It's for every single one of us. And there's one good reason to do these 3 things. It will help you sleep better at night for sure. But really, it could save your bacon if disaster strikes.

How to get big things done You might think that I have a great system that I've been using to get all the things done. After all, I've been running 2 businesses for years, and I've been successful. But I have a secret. Ask me, and I'll tell you I'm disorganized, a poor planner, and waste a lot of time. As my business grows, it's been increasingly difficult to get big things done without creating chaos in my daily routine or starting a project that never gets finished. Maybe you can relate? As an eCommerce store owner, you have a long list of tasks that can't wait. Where do you carve out time to take on a project that will up-level your business? The good news is that there is a strategy, and it works for solopreneurs and people with a team? Listen in, and give it a try.

What she did that produced the biggest results, and what she wished she'd known at the beginning of her journey. It's so valuable for you to know this, because even though we feel pressure to do "all the things", the results we get generally come from a few things. There are things we can let go. When you're pressed for time, it's even more important for you to get this straight. Make sure you listen all the way through, because in the last few minutes, Lesley drops pure gold. A strategy she's used to grow her big, beautiful business even though she only has a few hours a day to work on it. It's so good, I want to give it a try!

When it comes time for me to update you on my sales at Sock Doggo, I always sweat a bit. My sales should be better, and I should be growing faster. I wonder if you feel that way about your business too? Anyway, I know we're all juggling a lot, and none of us have as much time as we want when we have a growing business, and a list of ideas as long as our arm. So in this episode, I'm drilling down and sharing exactly what worked to get sales. The tactic. And I'm sharing what I did that worked because I know there will be something in that list that you can grab and implement. And it will make your business better. Grab a pen. And last thing: If you want to make yourself feel better fast, take a look at what's working in your business. Use a chunk of time, like 6 months or a year. I promise you'll feel like you can control your results, and you'll walk away with a short list of things you can do to grow this year.

When I had a chance to do a deep dive with our Inner Circle Member Nicole Di Rocco, I knew that I wanted to talk about how Makers and Designers can scale their businesses and still be profitable! In 2003, Nicolita launched Nicolita Swimwear, a no pinch-fit line of bikinis for women that solved that dreaded muffin top struggle. The year she went from sewing her own designs to landing a huge order with Nordstrom taught her a thing or two about scaling while creating profit in her business. Since then, she has been featured on CNN, NBC and even landed the deal with Billionaire Tilman Fertitta on CNBC's hit show, Billion Dollar Buyer. As promised she's sharing her pricing calculator here, so don't wait! Download this slick little tool, and go find more profit in your business.

When was your last whopping win? A few weeks ago, Sacha Whitehead reported a big win in our Inner Circle members group. She was able to generate 691 good leads for only $68. And of course, everyone wanted to know what she did to get that whopping win. Even me. So I had a look at what she did. And that's when I realized I had to share. Because most of the time, it's only a few (hard to recognize) things that make difference between a "ho-hum" result, and a big win. Listen in, as Sacha shares how it went down, and we talk about the little details that supersized her result. I know you'll want to see the post responsible for that big win, so here you go!
