How to Extend the Honeymoon...
Hey,
Starting a new relationship with a client should be a positive experience for you both. But for many businesses, that happy honeymoon period is dangerously short. And periously boring. A great onboarding process to welcome your new clients extends the happy feelings and pays off big in surprising ways.
In this class, you will learn:
why new client onboarding is such a big deal
an onboarding process to use in your business
how to identify the untapped potential profits in your onboarding process
Join me on Thursday at 10 AM Pacific for our New Client Onboarding Strategies webinar to get this info and ask your questions.
YES, this will be recorded (both audio and video) and posted in the Marketing Classes section of the Members Only area on this page: Onboarding
Want a Super Networking Strategy?
Learn how to take your networking waaaay beyond business cards and into profits, baby! It's not hard, but it does take some strategy. I'll explain it all on Tuesday at 3 PM Pacific. Non-members pay $25, but YOU are on the guest list.
As the 2019 programming schedule is coming together, I was wondering what YOU think. Because as a member, your opinion, wants and needs are the priority at the DIY.
I have just one question for you: How can the DIY better serve you?
OK, that's a big question, so I've broken it down into small chunks in a survey here:
Complete the 7-question survey to be eligible to win $25 in Mastermind money. (Only 6 questions if you don't want to win.)
And because you want to make your preferences known.
Thank you for your feedback. I appreciate you, and I'm listening!

> Virtual Mastermind meeting + cool photo hack + more
Join Us for Virtual Masterminding on Friday
Hey,
Want to connect with your tribe, but can't make the local on-site Mastermind meeting? The virtual Mastermind meeting gives you (virtually) the same experience. Except you don't have to drive, park or even shower to hang with us.
On the Mastermind agenda this week:
We're start the meeting with the Super Hero Introduction. Many of us already know each other, so we're working on how we're introduced by others this month.
Next, we'll pull back the curtain and look at AudioAcrobat. You'll find out why I love it and how it can help YOU and your business.
Then we'll do some laser coaching and masterminding, followed by a spin of the prize wheel. Someone will win, so why not you?
Want to make that white background in a photo transparent? Even if you have Canva.com like I do, white backgrounds can be a problem. Especially if you're not a graphic genius (and you know I am NOT) or don't have the fancy graphics software.
So here's the secret:
1. Go to Lunapic.com.
2. Choose Edit, then go to the bottom of that dropdown menu and click on Transparent Background.
3. Upload your photo.
4. Click your cursor on the background. Presto chango, you have an image with a transparent background. See what it looks like with WEO's logo, above.
Best of all, this tool doesn't cost a cent! You're welcome.
News flash: You don't have to celebrate the holidays to profit from them.
So if you're thinking that you can't do a holiday promotion, I'm here to tell you that you CAN. Because you don't have to cut your prices to have a seasonal sale!
The holidays are the perfect time to attract attention (and new clients). To make sure your clients feel appreciated (so they won't look elsewhere for service). And to cash in on the holiday buying season, even if what you offer isn't a "gift" item.
This month's masterclass is Profitable Holiday Marketing Strategies.
Want to experience this information LIVE? Join me for the Profitable Holiday Marketing Strategies seminar on Friday from noon to 1:30 PM. Save your place now:

Good gracious, I'd read quite a few marketing books and took notes, but then all I had was a computer file with a lot of notes. Now, after your one-hour class--and the Friday deadline--I actually wrote it down and even went through some of those notes while I did it. Wow. I can't believe I did it! Thanks so much, Ronnie. You're terrific!" ~Julie McDonald Zander, Chapters of Life Memory Books, www.chaptersoflife.com
