I'm Jess - and I have a confession to make.
I've been a marketer for years, but I secretly hate marketing myself. Or at least I did when I felt pressured to rely on social media to grow my business.
Another confession? I don't like social media. I made a pact with myself years ago to grow my personal businesses without relying on social media, and that I would step away without hesitation whenever it started to feel forced or inauthentic.
I do love meeting new people and building relationships, so I built and systematized my marketing strategy around relationships, doubling my business is the first year.
And as I discovered how many business owners feel the same way about social media, I formalized this plan so that it could be implemented by any business owner who wants to use relationships to organically grow their business.
So what is relationship marketing?
Relationship marketing leverages your innate ability to cultivate relationships, amplifying your business reach through word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business.
A relationship marketing plan takes the guess work out of marketing, pinpointing exactly where and how you should spend your time and marketing budget to deliver powerful results.
✧ ✦ ✧
A strong relationship marketing strategy rests on these four principles:
⟡ Always deliver exceptional service. Make every client interaction memorable and valuable
⟡ Be genuine and provide value. Show up authentically, be yourself, and always add value.
⟡ Consistency is key. Consistently engaging with consistent content will help you stay top of mind for your network.
⟡ Relationships involve two-way dialogue. Engage with your clients, listen to their feedback, cultivate connections. Fostering meaningful interactions builds trust and loyalty.
With a strategic approach to relationship building and content creation, you can build the business of your dreams.
