00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:05,010
Hi there.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:06,090
It's Sue.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,700
And thanks for joining me for tips and talk day.

4
00:00:09,330 --> 00:00:13,290
These are bite-sized topics that I pull from community questions and

5
00:00:13,290 --> 00:00:16,830
things that I'm observing in the world of handmade small business.

6
00:00:17,310 --> 00:00:18,900
If you'd like to submit a topic,

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,710
DME over on Instagram at gift biz unwrapped,

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,640
What if you could jump on the phone with me for

9
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,920
a quick 10 minute conversation?

10
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:30,450
Guess what?

11
00:00:30,870 --> 00:00:35,160
Now you can ask my opinion of a website platform.

12
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:39,390
You're considering want thoughts about how to get stronger results from

13
00:00:39,390 --> 00:00:41,100
an upcoming craft show,

14
00:00:41,580 --> 00:00:46,410
or maybe an overall strategy discussion whatever's on your mind.

15
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:49,470
Now we have a slick new way to talk.

16
00:00:50,190 --> 00:00:52,200
The second I learned about this program,

17
00:00:52,260 --> 00:00:55,740
I saw the beauty of how it can help me serve

18
00:00:55,740 --> 00:00:57,840
you in a whole new way.

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,550
It provides an opportunity for us to connect just you and

20
00:01:02,550 --> 00:01:07,650
me in an easy and convenient way and not at standard

21
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,900
one-on-one high coaching prices.

22
00:01:09,930 --> 00:01:12,840
Either think of the possibilities,

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,800
get answers to things that have prevented you from taking a

24
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:17,670
next step.

25
00:01:18,330 --> 00:01:22,530
Bounce an idea off me for my thoughts and enhancements receive

26
00:01:22,530 --> 00:01:24,030
support and ideas.

27
00:01:24,030 --> 00:01:26,820
If you're in the middle of a challenging situation,

28
00:01:27,450 --> 00:01:29,280
the options are endless.

29
00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:33,450
And the best part is you drive the topic and the

30
00:01:33,450 --> 00:01:38,730
conversation, the program I'm talking about is actually an app that

31
00:01:38,730 --> 00:01:40,410
you download onto your phone.

32
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,850
It's called owl O w w L L owl available in

33
00:01:47,850 --> 00:01:49,860
the apple store or Google play.

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,660
You can download it right away.

35
00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:56,640
I suggest that once you do immediately set up your account

36
00:01:57,180 --> 00:01:59,040
that way you're all ready to go.

37
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:01,020
When you want to make your first call,

38
00:02:01,980 --> 00:02:03,720
as someone setting up an account,

39
00:02:03,750 --> 00:02:06,000
to be able to connect with experts,

40
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:08,400
you'll be considered an outlet.

41
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:11,040
You fill in some basic information,

42
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:13,740
just like you do to sign up for any other app.

43
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,560
If you want to complete your profile,

44
00:02:16,590 --> 00:02:21,000
there is additional information that you can fill in this other

45
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,170
detail is used.

46
00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:25,530
If you'd like to become an expert and take calls,

47
00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:29,280
it's a way they can confirm your expertise and approve you

48
00:02:29,310 --> 00:02:31,080
through your qualifications,

49
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,570
but it's not mandatory to make a call.

50
00:02:33,570 --> 00:02:36,720
So don't let that throw you once you're in,

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,570
you'll see that there are lots of experts you can talk

52
00:02:39,570 --> 00:02:42,330
to who cover all sorts of topics,

53
00:02:42,450 --> 00:02:44,580
lawyers, health professionals,

54
00:02:44,940 --> 00:02:47,010
spirituality, and life coaches.

55
00:02:47,370 --> 00:02:51,300
And of course your favorite handmade business coach.

56
00:02:52,140 --> 00:02:56,850
The price for most calls currently ranges between five to $10

57
00:02:56,850 --> 00:02:58,050
for 10 minutes.

58
00:02:58,170 --> 00:03:00,880
So completely reasonable and worth it.

59
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,950
When you have just a question or two,

60
00:03:03,910 --> 00:03:06,820
some of the features I think you'll love about this program

61
00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:10,840
are it's totally focused on you as the outlet,

62
00:03:11,020 --> 00:03:12,610
the person taking your call,

63
00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:15,220
doesn't retain any information about you.

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,490
So you won't be pestered with follow-up communication,

65
00:03:19,090 --> 00:03:21,070
unless you specifically request it.

66
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:25,360
That is the functionality of the app is really smooth and

67
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,660
intuitive. Also there's a countdown timer.

68
00:03:28,690 --> 00:03:32,380
So both sides know exactly how much time is left.

69
00:03:32,950 --> 00:03:35,890
That's really helpful for guiding talking points.

70
00:03:36,370 --> 00:03:38,920
If you decide you want to continue the conversation,

71
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:42,940
there's an option at around the two minute mark to request

72
00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:45,940
more time after each call,

73
00:03:46,180 --> 00:03:49,270
both sides have the ability to rate the call.

74
00:03:49,690 --> 00:03:52,720
So you can rate if the time was valuable to you

75
00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:54,310
with your question resolved,

76
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,940
it's also a great way to gauge which experts are best

77
00:03:57,940 --> 00:03:58,450
for you.

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:00,250
And on my side,

79
00:04:00,430 --> 00:04:03,850
if I get a spammer or some other abusive call,

80
00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:06,760
I can report that through the rating system.

81
00:04:07,630 --> 00:04:11,320
I appreciate this thought of safety by way of feedback here.

82
00:04:11,740 --> 00:04:12,790
It's important to both of us.

83
00:04:12,790 --> 00:04:13,570
Of course,

84
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,120
now that I'm announcing this to you,

85
00:04:16,180 --> 00:04:19,360
I plan to be available inside the app on a regular

86
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,840
basis, but if I'm not showing up as available,

87
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:24,190
when you have a question,

88
00:04:24,490 --> 00:04:27,370
I've set up my account to give me a text message

89
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:28,540
that you'd like to talk.

90
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:30,190
In many cases,

91
00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:33,490
I can make myself available to you right away with the

92
00:04:33,490 --> 00:04:35,920
exception of if I'm on a podcast,

93
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,450
interview traveling,

94
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,950
or if it's nighttime,

95
00:04:39,340 --> 00:04:42,400
I'm definitely not a late night person,

96
00:04:42,580 --> 00:04:45,280
but you can always catch me bright and early in the

97
00:04:45,280 --> 00:04:48,430
morning, Saturday mornings in particular,

98
00:04:48,460 --> 00:04:51,400
I can easily combine calls with my schedule.

99
00:04:51,910 --> 00:04:54,940
I'm excited to talk to you for these short sessions.

100
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,340
Please don't hesitate to place a call,

101
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,470
even if we've never spoken before.

102
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:03,940
There's always a first time to get acquainted and what better

103
00:05:03,940 --> 00:05:06,790
than to get direction on something you've been stuck on for

104
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:11,530
a long time or hear advice that can finally prompt action.

105
00:05:12,130 --> 00:05:13,870
Here are your steps.

106
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,360
One, download owl,

107
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:20,890
and set up your account to search for me by name

108
00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:25,240
Sue Moen height and click the little owl logo on the

109
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:26,230
right hand side,

110
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,270
to turn it from gray to gold.

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,300
That way I become one of your favorites and you can

112
00:05:31,300 --> 00:05:32,710
find me easily.

113
00:05:33,610 --> 00:05:34,450
And third,

114
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:38,410
give me a call at the time of this recording.

115
00:05:38,500 --> 00:05:42,610
All new accounts get $10 of free owl money.

116
00:05:42,940 --> 00:05:45,970
So your first call or two are free.

117
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,070
It's that easy.

118
00:05:48,460 --> 00:05:49,480
And there's more.

119
00:05:50,020 --> 00:05:52,750
If you have an area of expertise that you'd like to

120
00:05:52,750 --> 00:05:53,860
share with others,

121
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:57,500
just like I'm doing through the app for you sign up

122
00:05:57,500 --> 00:05:58,880
to become an owl too.

123
00:05:59,690 --> 00:06:04,280
I've created a more detailed guide to owl complete with screenshots.

124
00:06:04,310 --> 00:06:05,660
If that's helpful to you,

125
00:06:05,660 --> 00:06:07,250
as you install and set up,

126
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:08,630
it's so easy,

127
00:06:08,630 --> 00:06:10,190
you probably don't need it,

128
00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:13,430
but it's available right now at gift biz,

129

132

So let's do it.

133
00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:30,230
I'll be expecting your call.

134
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:33,290
That's a wrap.

135
00:06:33,650 --> 00:06:35,510

00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:38,450
