Guest Speaker
Adam Flores is the author of the bestselling book: The Art of Social Influence and the e-book Turn Your Passion into a Product. Adam also provides students of business with the opportunity to enroll in The Business Club Academy, a program dedicated to providing people with the tools they would require to build a business out of nothing but passion. Adam’s beginnings into business started with a true passion for his work and own unique philosophy on business development. Due to the rigidity of how business was pursued by many institutions, Adam drove his own path as a student focusing on the areas of leadership, social media and internet marketing. Adam’s ability to construct and implement a business strategy based on his focused principles allowed him to build a business beyond a million dollars in sales. Adam’s success has allowed him to transition his focus into guiding new students and helping them make their passion their new career.
Adam shared three strategies into building a greater online presence which can help grow any business. Adam’s first strategy is that a business must first recognize and present a clear, “story.” This essentially equates to developing a clear message of what your business represents and correctly showing what products or services you hope to provide. Adam notes the importance of this by saying that this Story is what people are going to connect with.
The second step is to leverage the story. This allows any business to focus their efforts in reaching people who would be interested in their product. A large component of this is discovering people within an interest niche which matches your business. By finding the correct niche, a business can connect and inform buyers who would have the greatest interest in your product or services. This in turn gives a business the greatest possible potential of succeeding.
Lastly developing a clear and strategic follow up plan is necessary in order to increase your businesses standing with potential customers. Due to the nature of a customer’s fluctuating interests it is quite beneficial to a business to follow with.
