What’s your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?
I found that I was holding the same conversation over and over again— so many likeminded creatives didn’t know where to start with their social media strategy. In founding depth theory, I am able to share in deep connection ( in a pandemic era ) to help creatives flourish by crafting an authentic social media presence with a sense of community.
Describe the process of launching the business.
Imaginative vision, brainstorming, and connecting make me who I am. I created a way to bring that energy to other like-minded creatives by initially launching my service-based business on Instagram. In building out what I wanted to resonate with my ideal clients— I reversed engineered my goals and wrote down every single outsourced strategy offering I could provide to entrepreneurs feeling lost in the sea of social media.
I created content that spoke directly to who I wanted to navigate the waters of entrepreneurship with. My past and current clients found me on Instagram and I offered packages by building out a CRM Portal that individuals could look over and decide if they wanted to move forward with an Alignment Consultation.
Since launch, what has worked to attract and retain customers?
In-depth connection by way of phone calls and Zoom during the initial Alignment Consultation to access if my behind-the-scenes-building is in alignment to a female-founded business’s higher purpose.
How are you doing today and what does the future look like?
Navigating what works best for entrepreneurs that have limited time has been a data set in itself. By way of one-on-one digital consulting, I’ve found that opportunities arise from the mindful attention to where a business owner feels stuck in their to-do list. As an Integrator, I play the pivotal role of navigating the greater vision followed by strategic implementation. The excitement in knowing that I am there when they are inspired about their business allows for me to have consistent creative energy flowing which now has materialized into The 2022 Alignment Waitlist for future clients.
