Key takeaways:

 

"So many people don't make themselves known (on social media). (it might seem like prospective clients) don't like, they don't engage. But they're actually very engaged [They're aware of your posts]. Whether they liked it or not, or made any comments or sent any hearts, it doesn't matter. They saw it, they enjoyed it. Now we have something to talk about and connect over to kinda further build that relationship." - Lisa Doll

 

"My goals are very inflated. I'm very ambitious. So my goals even years ago were to get on stage, speak, industry leader, etc. So, me going viral, me getting lots of views, and me having a certain amount of followers may not give me so much extra money on hand, but it does impress "gatekeepers". Who then establishes my value based on those metrics that then give other opportunities, which then allow me to maybe expand my income or awareness." - Lisa Doll

 

"People want to find things to connect with you. They need to feel that they have a common ground with you or something in common. So that they can begin to like and trust you and start to see you as somebody that can work on them and feel like you have that connection." - April Meese

 

"People want to come up with great names that are clever but the audience doesn't know what it is. And if they don't know what you clearly do for them and how it benefits, they're gonna walk right past you." - April Meese
