Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning all, I sent my buddy Luc a video yesterday saying that I’m building a team in Uganda. We used to laugh a couple of years back when Luc was considering upping and moving his family to Kampala in Uganda. It was amusing to think that someone living in London would uproot his family…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, I’m headed off to Italy in a couple of days and wanted to take the opportunity to reflect upon the team that has come together. When I say team – there are now two people that have arisen amongst the troops that I think are capable of producing for the agency. This…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all! It was a sad moment this morning when I realised I’ve signed up for multiple sessions with some SEO experts but my days as a practitioner are no longer the best way to serve the business. I was due to talk to Arvind this morning and had missed our last two sessions…and…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all! I want to continue with the brainstorming I left off with at the end of last week. I’m seeing the value of doing this for every brand of Pearl Lemon so that we can push them further forward. These blogs serve as an instruction manual for growth for each of the brands/businesses…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning guys, At one of my agencies – Pearl Lemon Leads – we’ve just begun a campaign for a Chicago-based realtor. Our role is to ultimately cold call homeowners for them and book appointments. The point person – their lead broker is a very switched-on guy. Mostly – when we’re given lead-generation campaigns to…
Reading Time: 4 minutes Morning guys, Here’s the time today: I thought I’d use this blog as an opportunity to do some planning or ‘brain dumping’ as these blogs end up being a lot of the time – about my next steps with Pearl Lemon. So – We’ve rolled out Pearl Lemon PR into a separate website (this…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Here’s the time and today I want to talk about something I’ve not yet written a blog about in detail – My plans to grow Send Koala. The value for those of you reading this I hope – is to see how to ‘brainstorm’ in real time and effectively do all of…
Reading Time: 3 minutes Morning all, Back at it again and today I’m reflective of the challenges my team is facing with cold calling. It’s clearly an incredibly difficult skill to find in people. For the last several months I’ve been on the hunt to find people who are effective on the phone and can basically call anyone,…
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! 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 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: 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 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: 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…
