Ask Rezzz

Today is going to be all about a process that I put into my business years ago that I reap the benefits from over and over again. That's onboarding for new clients.If you want to get my own Onboarding Email Sequence which is 8 emails with the delays I put in between. Along with instructions on how to use them too, head to rezzz.com/a263 and pick them up.What is onboardingOnboarding is a term that's thrown around quite often and it has a few different meanings. In the context of this show I'm referring to when a client becomes a client, how are you bringing them into your world.What sort of process to you have that helps that client understand what this engagement is going to look like.When you open up any box, there's a quick start guide right?Even for things that are commonplace like a TV, headphones, or even a mug that I got from my wife as a gift.That's what an onboarding sequence is for you and your business.I've heard it as a "Welcome Package."

As we embark on the second year of Ask Rezzz, the format will change up slightly.The reason for this is so that you can take action. I'm all about that action taking as you know. Having a show each and every single day without a doubt can be overwhelming. You may already have a backlog of shows that you want to listen to. Maybe there's a bunch that you don't have any interest in hearing as well.With that, the new format will be this.Every Friday, you'll be a fly on the wall for a one-on-one coaching session with someone. I will have a conversation with someone who's applied to be on the show. They have a specific problem or situation that they want to get some help on.The objective is for you to hear what they are going through and maybe it'll help you too if you are in a similar situation. As the saying goes "a rising tide raises all boats."The big benefit of this is you, the audience. You as a Feaster can help and support them through offering encouragement, advice, and accountability. You may even want to

Chris Bintliff from Not Really Rocket Science, is someone who I met through Twitter, but someone I consider a friend. Chris appeared on Live In The Feast and we geeked out about marketing and creating delight for clients.Not only that, but if you want to know anything about home automation, he's the guy to talk with.During a conversation one day, Chris mentioned that if there was ever an opportunity in which I myself could be interviewed, rather than me doing the interviewing, he wanted it.There's no better day than on this very special, milestone episode of Ask Rezzz.I'll be honest, I really had no idea what Chris was going to ask me. He could've asked me anything at all.

Do you identify with the Unemployable?What advice can you offer to someone to embrace where they are in their freelance career so that they can

I was introduced to Chris Martin through a friend of mine Joe Workman.How do I know Chris?I've heard a few of his shows before in the past and when Joe mentioned that I should reach out to Chris to be on his podcast, Getting Work to Work, for me it was a no brainer.Chris was a great interviewer, genuinely curious, asking things that to be honest, I hadn't been asked about before.One topic that we talked about most was personalization and delight. I talk about personalization a lot, it is what I do for clients, right?In this episode, though, I talked about personalization in regards to leads and client interaction, not doing the wor-------------------

The answer is, it depends.I'm going to put aside the paid ads on the platform because that's a different game altogether and really just stick to answering the question in the context of organic engagement.-------------------
