Building a community to drive growth is essential in today's crowded market. In my recent podcast with Mel Shires of Circle, we explored some insightful tactics on leveraging community for growth. Mel shared how communities can create authentic connections with your audience to accelerate business growth. 1: Communities can fuel growth for any business by creating authentic connections and relationships with your audience. Think about what your audience wants and needs from a community. 2: Map out a community strategy by understanding your story so far, figuring out what's missing, and charting a path forward. Leverage existing touchpoints you have with your audience. 3: Launch tactics based on your audience's needs and wants, while also fulfilling your own goals like positioning yourselves as thought leaders. Tactics can include webinars, reports, training programs, etc. 4: Engage your best community members by recognizing them. This creates user-generated content and word of mouth as they share their experiences organically. A little recognition goes a long way. Let me know if you want me to refine or expand on any part of this newsletter. I'm also happy to generate more detailed summaries of specific insights from the podcast.

I recently did a talk recently all about hosting impactful virtual events. Here are 4 of my biggest takeaways that you can immediately apply to your next event: 1. Keep a Fast Pace: With short attention spans, you must pack your event with value and maintain a dynamic pace. Avoid long intros and fluff. Get right into the meaty content. 2. Vary Your Guests: Don't rely on the same internal speakers. Bring on customers, prospects, influencers, and subject matter experts. This will add fresh perspectives. 3. Promote Extensively - Think of your event as its own product and promote it across paid ads, organic social media, email outreach to prospects, employee networks, and more. 4. Repurpose Widely Let your content live on! Repurpose it into blogs, newsletters, snippets on social media, and more. Repurposing drives more value and engagement. Apply these tips to make your next event a lead-generation machine. Let me know if you have any other questions!
