Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, We’re in the midst of growing out our PR agency and it’s pretty exciting. I’m not sure if i’ve covered this but I’ll ‘cover it again’. Basically – Pearl Lemon have a background in SEO – which means we’re relatively decent at ranking keywords on Google. This is something that people such…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hey guys, Morning again! I had a chat with a friend of mine yesterday Axel who said something interesting which deserves some exploration. I spoke to him about my strategy of building out websites and then building operations once the leads start to come in and he said ‘ah you’re kind of doing things…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning all, I wanted to bash this out quickly before I head out to the cafe and get working. A thought arose in my mind this morning as a consequence of a conversation I had with an SEO expert yesterday. The question is (you guessed it) – am I spreading myself too thin? The…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, I wanted to at least start this whilst I am still feeling inspired by it. So several years ago I remember meeting a friend of mine in a Regus coworking space and we were swapping notes on business growth. He ran a luxury real estate business (still might do – we’ve not…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all! Here’s the time and my morning Pomodoro. I’ve already been out this morning for a walk, got my cup of coffee from a local petrol pump (the Costa inside it). Listened to some of a new audible I started this morning ‘Go For No’ by Richard Fenton (decent start and allegory for…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning guys, So for the last couple of days, I’ve been involved in intense salary negotiations with my head of outbound sales Adham. It’s been (dare I say it) – an intense learning experience for us both. Over the last 60 days, I’ve been trying to build out a sales team. Whilst this has…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning all, Another day, another website was built haha. I’ve seen this come together over a course of about one month I think from scratch: The content (mostly) was already previously built and all of the illustrations have been custom designed. The site has now been passed onto the SEO team and the ranking…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Back here again for the Monday morning shift. It’s crazy how time (I know it’s a cliche) but does seem to fly. The days turn into weeks, the weeks into months, etc etc. Here I am now trying to figure out how to build: An accounting company and a web development company whilst…
Reading Time: 3 minutes I’m writing this from my Lenovo Thinkpad. Adrian one of my sales guys said his laptop had already slowed down which surprised me. This surprised me because I BOUGHT him his laptop less than one month ago. And he’s already saying it’s slowed down. He’s got a Lenovo Thinkpad like me. The spec all…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning guys, Got an amazing hangover/headache from drinking and lack of sleep. Despite my attempts to stay in bed – it doesn’t really work well and I think I’ll just need to catch up tomorrow instead. Anyway – I had a bit of a ‘proud’ moment yesterday when it came to the next step…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Here’s the time It’s been an interesting couple of weeks talking to caller after caller in my search for ‘warriors’. When I say warriors I mean outstanding cold callers. And some things have become apparent to me during this process – It’s a wild ride trying to build a cold calling team…
Reading Time: 6 minutes Hey guys, Another day in my world of trying to build a high-performance sales team. The chaos continues when it comes to sorting out those who can really ‘make it happen’ on the phones. What we’re trying to do at Pearl Lemon Leads is complex. We have multiple campaigns across multiple countries and we’re…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Feels good to just be ‘brain dumping’ again haha. So we’re still in the ‘chaos’ phase when it comes to building Pearl Lemon Leads. We’ve onboarded a load of clients and we’re definitely headed in the right direction on that front – And correspondingly we’re beginning to identify people that I hope…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Hey guys, Pearl Lemon has reached an interesting juncture in it’s journey. Now several years into it – I’ve got part time, full-time and commission only sales people all within Pearl Lemon. Part-timers are people like Andrew who is only calling for 2 hours per day. Mika whose calling for 4-6 hours per day….
Reading Time: 3 minutes Hi all, It’s Saturday so this is normally the day that I take a little bit of time to reflect upon my progress and where we’re at with the business. We’re not making the money that I want just yet – but that’s because I’m having to rapidly grow and upskill the team on…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Back with another 20 minute daily dose. I’ve just got back from my morning walk – which today went for around 70 minutes. I managed to get through 1 hour 03 minutes of Tim Ferris’s book ‘Tribe of Mentors’ (listening at 2.10x speed). I made some notes on some of the key…
