So I decided to create a strategy that could be adjusted into any business. All it takes is planning content ahead of time and 20 minutes, 5 days a week, to grow anywhere from 15-30 ideal client followers a week. The process worked wonders for my own business so I knew it would help others. 

We utilize stories and posts to warm our current following and push them further down our sales funnels. Now we manage accounts for many business owners, but the key is connecting and building their ideal client community in order to drive their business goals forward.”
