Marketing Technologies
Private Training Sessions from Top Practices

Introducing Top Practices Marketing Technologies Private Training Sessions led by Michele Beckwith, the resident expert on all the systems we recommend and use ourselves here at Top Practices.

These are 1-hour 1:1 video training Zoom sessions.

This training is ideal for you if:

  • You have recently switched to Ontraport and want a walkthrough and guidance on its capabilities and how to manage your account.
  • You or a staff member need to become an expert at using the Top Practices Marketing Calendar which was built by Michele herself.
  • You want to kick-up your social media graphics a notch without the huge learning curve of Adobe Photoshop using programs like Canva to create stunning social media graphics.
  • You need a system to manage your online content and workflow. Michele can teach you how to set up a workflow using your cloud storage solution of choice (Dropbox / Google Drive) and a project management tool (i.e. Trello / Airtable).
  • And much more. Have a tech question? Ask Michele.

Here is how simple it is:

Book the number of hours you need to accomplish your goals (typically 1-3 hours)

Schedule Your Training Call: You will receive a link to Michele's calendar to schedule 60-minutes of time (or more) together to walk-through systems and answer your questions.

Pre-Session Questionnaire:  You will receive a brief questionnaire to maximize your time together and to give Michele a sneak peek into how she can best help you.

Post Call: You will receive a copy of the recorded call, as well as notes and links to valuable resources you need for your next step.

In recent years, social media has shifted from mostly entertainment to a necessity for businesses. It can be hard to keep up-to-date with new features and constant changes. Thankfully, there are a bunch of tools out there to make online marketing easier for us all. But with a wealth of tech tools available, how do you evaluate which is best for your practice? And then, how do I use them?

Canva is an online, graphic design tool that was made for those who don't have extensive design experience. The platform makes branding easy with its drag-and-drop feature. You can even upload your own photos and add them to your design. 

Canva has a wide variety of templates that can be optimized for specific sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, or Instagram.

 

 

Content Management

COVID-19 introduced to many of us new ways to collaborate remotely. Sending and tracking content such as videos, blog posts, and graphics can be cumbersome. Have you ever sent a file or attachment and no one could later find it (including you!)?

Having a system or workflow in place can help navigate all of the steps needed to take your marketing strategy from just an idea to completion. A marketing workflow is simply a series of steps followed. It helps to keep the team on the same page and avoid communication breakdowns and missed deadlines.

There are several options available that serve as a central system for tracking all of the details.

Trello is an online tool that organizes your projects into visual boards.
Trello Weekly Content Planner
 
Airtable is another online collaboration tool. It has features of a database but is applied to a spreadsheet. 
 
Utilizing a project management tool in your workflows will help improve productivity and efficiency across the board.
