Show notes

How do you EAT a FROG?!

“If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And If it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.” - Mark Twain

What does eating frogs have to do with you and achieving your goals? Listen in to today’s episode as we catch up with Andrew Phillips to discuss the concept of eating frogs, helpful insights into goals and clarity, and the book that changed the way I work in my business - ‘Eat That Frog’ by Brian Tracy.

About Andrew and Tamlyn:

We are Tamlyn and Andrew Samuel… a husband and wife team!

I (Tamlyn) was a professional dancer In London's Westend and on luxury cruises. Whilst performing I met my Aussie man Andrew, we emigrated to Australia to start our family, resulting in a gorgeous son Ethan who’s 10 and a cheeky Cavoodle named Chewy. We live in sunny Noosa, Queensland and together as a partnership built to the level of National Vice President with Arbonne International.

We hit a wall with Social Media, it became something we knew we had to do, but didn't enjoy doing. We were pretty lost to be honest… and were fed up trying to keep up with the high-flyers.

So we made a decision that enough was enough and we became totally invested in learning everything we needed to know to grow our knowledge on Social Media.

What happened in the process, is that we started to enjoy ourselves again, we started having fun, it was no longer a chore because we were connecting with our ideal audience. We stopped chasing the followers and realised that what mattered most was connection, the numbers do not determine your success, but instead the relationship does.

We have learnt so much of what to do and what not to do and this is where “Tamdrewsocial” was born. Our mission is to bring fun back to your Social Media, arm you with the tools you need to succeed and to have you wake up excited about who you can connect with today because you are showing up as your true authentic self!

Ep 114: Social Media Tips and Trends with Scott Kramer May 24, 2022

Show notes

In this episode we catch up with Scott Kramer, the brain behind Multi - a Social Media scheduling platform which serves the Direct Selling industry. We pick his clever mind, talking tips and trends for Social Media and technology in Direct Selling.

The internet gave everybody a voice, leveling the playing field. It is the first medium that promotes interactive communication between company and audience. Our challenge now is to catch the interest of that consumer audience while their attention span is shrinking.

It is easy to over rely on all the technology available, forgetting to build a relationship and create conversations. Automations or an ‘old school’ type of broadcast marketing don’t work on two-way communication media, such as Social Media platforms like Facebook.

We know that you are going to love meeting Scott as much as we did. Scott shares with us knowledge and advice that can be practiced no matter your level of technical abilities! Get ready to take notes and enjoy the episode.

We’ll be talking about:

➡ [0:00] Introduction

➡ [3:19] From media and entertainment to Direct Selling

➡ [6:09] Technology as a common thread between Direct Selling and other industries

➡ [8:17] Trends coming in the next few years

➡ [10:38] Fear of posting on Social Media

➡ [13:46] People buy from people methodology

➡ [15:40] Wondering why less and less people are buying my product

➡ [19:27] A run down of what Multibrain is

➡ [23:33] Social Media as marketing tool

➡ [28:29] What lies ahead with Facebook

➡ [22:05] Personal profile vs groups vs business pages for Direct Sellers
