Define Your Business Hugot: ‘Gusto Ko Lang Yumaman!’
Many of us have taken the most traveled route of being employees -- study, do well in school, graduate, and hopefully land a good job. And nothing wrong with that. You report to work and do what's expected of you for a specified duration during the day. That's it. That's easier to get a fixed monthly earning and only mind your assigned task. That is simply put it.But when it comes to owning a business, it's a different story. You drive it yourself, and you're responsible for its outcome. And not everything is smooth sailing. Challenges come and test your patience. How do you pivot? [..but that's for another topic..]That's why only a few jump into it quickly; the level of commitment is of another level. You also must include a passion for keeping that fire to keep pushing through.But despite all these, why do we encourage people, especially employees, to start a business?Let's join our marketing world masters, Airon and Jungie, as they share their big takeaways from their pre-business phase to this time that they already are business owners. Many of you can relate to their experiences navigating the corporate world. And I'm sure many of you will also find valuable insights into what they have to say on why you should start having your own business now.Here's how to figure out your Northstar [when deciding what business to pursue]:You can create a Lifestyle Business - one that will allow you to travel, partyparty ka lang, nasa beach ka at gusto mo kumita.Start a Legacy Business - ito young business na ipapamana mo, may malaking commitment involved.Build a Business that you would grow to a certain level - Yung tipong pag nag 7-figure okay na to for you, at a certain age okay na to ibebenta mo na sya, pwede ka nang magretire. Kumbaga sa retirement mo all good ka na.What you'll learn from this episode:Find your purpose on why you want to start your business; that will determine the kind of business you will pursueDiscover other surprising benefits of owning a business other than earning more than what is needed.Learn how owning a business affords you the opportunity to grow as a person and business owner and allows you unlimited possibilities for learning.Key Takeaways:"Bago akong maging business owner kaya ko gustong magbusiness kasi meron kasabihan, general knowledge na di ka yayamna pag employee ka lang at maraming naniniwala dito. For the most part there is some truth to this." - Airon dela Cruz"Nung time ko gusto ko kasing enjoyin yung mga activities na I love doing, running, hiking, surfing, scuba diving. Syempre mga activities naman meron kaakibat na expenses. That's what I mean when I say gusto ko yumaman kasi I am able to do the things na gusto ko gawin." - Airon dela Cruz"Pinakahugot ko before ako magbusiness is gusto kong kumita ng more than sapat kasi noon talaga kailangan mong pagkasyahin lahat lalo na di naman kalakihan sweldo mo." - Airon dela CruzNorth star yong pinakapurpose mo why you want to start a business. - Airon dela Cruz"With me gusto ko kumita talaga. I want quick cash." - Jungie Gumiran"One reason kung bat ako umalis sa corporate is because I realized I am not built to work sa corporate." - Jungie Gumiran"Naghanap ako ng something na I can make my own rule, kung saan dapat ako ang magdedecide kung kelan ako magwowork, ako ang gagawa ng rule sa sarili kong business." - Jungie Gumiran"Importante rin kasi na alam mo yung hugot mo kasi yon yung magseset ng pace kapag may business ka na." - Jungie Gumiran'You need to choose kasi [go back to your Northstar], di sya pwedeng halo halo, gusto mo ng legacy business, parati...

Budol Tips and Tricks: Turn "How po?" to "Paid!"
Do you find it hard, to make people respond to whatever call to action it is that you have as you market your business?Have you ever gone through the experience of having huge numbers of engagements, but at the end of the day, still, not even a single conversion happened?More often than not, people have a hard time converting their audience to paying clients. But worry no more for Airon and Jungie are here to help save the day!Sit back and relax as they share game-changing do’s and don’ts on upscaling your conversion skills and rate. After all, what we all want is to earn, grow, and not be less, and one way to effectively do that is to convert people to become a fan of your business!What you’ll learn in this episode:Why you should see conversion in a different way aside from having sales;How much of a game-changer it is that you know and understand your market; andTips and the importance of improving your conversion skills in terms of scaling your businessHere’s an overview of Conversion Rate Optimization: Strategies and Best Practices 1. Have a clear call to action (CTA). It’s important that you provide clarity in terms of where you want them to go and what you want them to do. a. Also, stick with one call to action. Numerous CTAs are one of the customers’ biggest turn-offs. b. But before anything else, establish a relationship with your audience first. Doing so will make it easier for them to respond to your CTA later on. c. Make sure that both the user experience and user interface are of good if not great quality. Learn how to handle objections in a nice way. 2. Follow up, with multiple touches. a. Vary your follow-up methods. Repetitive methods will make people lose interest in your offer/s. b. Add value. Provide more information as you send more follow-up messages. c. Maximize automated methods. One thing you can try is email marketing. d. Polish your acquisition process. Know your market in order to successfully provide value. 3. Create content that addresses objections. One of the biggest reasons why you fail to convert people is their objections. a. A well-written copy goes a long way. Make sure it addresses their specific objections, and that it’s not written in a ‘squammy’ way. b. Include psychological triggers of scarcity and urgency, but do not ever fake it; unless you want them to see you as a big liar, a joke. c. Prove that you are the best by building your authority. 4. Use other people’s experiences and/or perspectives. a. Include testimonials, especially those which are from known individuals. b. Avoid using fake reviews. Nowadays, people easily sense when something’s scripted or just plain fake. Be genuine. Best reviews are those that address who the product is not for. c. Working with influencers has a high chance to work, especially if your process isn’t just transactional.Key Takeaways“‘Iyong call to action mo is depende sa relationship mo with your customer… Kailangan mo i-establish ‘yong relationship muna before mo bitawan ‘yong call to action mo.Para kapag nakapag-establish ka na ng relationship with that audience, ‘yong call to action mo, mas magiging madali for them to accept at mas mapataas ‘yong conversion rate mo.” – Jungie Gumiran“Bakit kailangan iba-ibahin o i-vary? Kasi kung ‘yong follow-up mo, same lang, magmumukha kang desperado at makulit, saka parang wala ka ring nabu-build na relationship, saying lang ‘yong follow-up mo. And better, add value na rin, kasi that’s additional information that could get them to convert.” – Airon Dela Cruz & Jungie...

Tips to Get More Customers (And Attract your 'The One')
Wouldn't it be nice to not rely on stores/apps in selling your products and services online? The whole Shopee issue would not bother you as an online seller.Have you ever wondered why no matter how perfect a product and/or service is, simply putting it on the market is not enough to make a sale? What could be missing?Also, do you know why big brands like Nike still market their products and services even when they're already household names? Is it really necessary to spend on marketing when you're one of the best-selling shoe brands in the world?Join Airon and Jungie in their first episode post-podcast launch to learn about the most overlooked step in marketing: Acquisition. What you’ll learn in this episode?Why do you have to always start with why in everything you doReasons why it’s important to analyze the needs and wants of your target marketHow listing down details about your ideal client/audience (and even future jowa) can help you find themValuable Client Acquisition Tips:If you want to know the importance of acquisition in your business, here are four (4) tips you can use to level up your acquisition game. Tip No. 1 - Connect with them on an emotional level first and then justify the sale with logic later. How? By sharing the relevance of your product/service and why they should buy them. The two easiest emotions used to achieve this is PAIN and FEAR. USE THIS SKILL WITH CAUTION because knowing how to start with emotion allows you to ethically/unethically manipulate people around you into buying your product/service. Also, it will not work if you use emotion alone, that’s why it’s important to highlight features and benefits after. Why is it important to know their deepest, darkest desires and pains? So you’d know which product/service feature to highlight that can help them overcome it. Tip No. 2 - Identify your ideal audience/customer/client OR your client avatar. Why is it necessary to identify them? Once you’ve identified them, it’s easier to find them, and messaging will come easier, a.k.a. how you communicate with them. Why can’t I just sell to everyone? Because in reality, you’re not everyone’s cup of tea. You only have a specific set of people to focus on and market to. Each target market has its own desires and speaks its own language as well. How do you create your client avatar? By identifying who you created the product/service for and why you created it in the first place. The more specific, the better. Tip No. 3 - Know your channels a.k.a. social media platforms. Because the best acquisition channel/platform for your business depends on your audience, your resources, and your overall strategy. If one channel doesn’t work for you, or if it’s not producing results, then it won’t be too impactful to focus solely on that channel, so you should diversify. Also, you’re not at the mercy of only one online selling platform. When should you diversify? Whenever your capacity allows it. If it will require you to give up what you love, don’t. If you’re in only one channel and you got what you need, that’s enough. Make sure you maximize its powers and you don’t have too much that you can’t handle them anymore. Tip No. 4 - Identify the words they use or how they communicate with each other. Use the words that your ideal market uses to describe their problems or dreams. It’s easier if you’re also part of the target market, but how do you do it if you’re not part of the target market? By doing research and creating an avatar based on their demographics (age group, gender, life stages, niche-specific). They have certain words they use and they communicate a certain way. And if you can...

Kasi ang ibig sabihin niyan, kapag nandyan ka na sa stage na n’yan, hindi ka required na mag-trabaho. You are doing work because you want to work. ‘Yun ‘yung dream din na sana sa ating lahat, pati mga nakikinig dito, dumating tayo sa point na you are working because you want to work, not because you have to work kasi hindi ka kakain, o marami ka’ng babayaran.” - Airon dela Cruz“Kasi nag-freelance ka nga.

Gusto sila ‘yung nagtuturo, sila ‘yung involved sa development n’ung anak nila.” - Airon dela Cruz“If ‘yung business mo is gusto mo’ng ipamana sa anak mo – basta gusto mo siyang magtagal, in short, gusto mo ipamana, mag-invest ka sa retention marketing.
