If there was one person I could think of who has "Seen the Webs" for quite some time, it's Maggie Patterson @SmallBusinessBoss !⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ She's THE person I think of when it comes to building and sustaining a BS-free business. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And she's been our most recent guest on the #QuietRebelsPodcast to drill down into the topic of "Service Beyond the Sale"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yaaaaas. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In our industry, we're taught so much emphasis on building the know, like and trust factor and how to sell, right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well here's the problem - that's where many of us STOP caring. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's a literal "Thank you, NEXT!" Ariana Grande situation going on here, where once the sale has been finalised, we just focus on the next prospect.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ No no no, our work isn't done, my friends.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ That's why Maggie is calling us all in for this interview to share about how we can keep serving our clients after the sale, to fulfill the promises we made, and to intentionally infuse trust in EVERY step of the process.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wanna tune in with us as we discuss this, and:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥 The 3 Places to Communicate Boundaries in a Healthy Way with Clients ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥 What to Do & Say in a Difficult Client Relationship ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🔥 The Do's and Don'ts of Giving GIFTS to Your Clients⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And sooooo much more!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Tune in by clicking the link in my bio and tapping on the "Listen to Podcast" option, OR DM me the code-emoji for this episode: 🔥 and I'll personally see to it that you get the episode linky link! 
Yes, I see them. And I know you’re starting to see them too, my friend. If you’ve ever walked into a spider web before... ...you’ll know that until that very moment you felt that silky string on your skin — aaaand possibly an 8 legged critter rushing to the breakage that just happened — you don’t realise it’s there. If you did, you wouldn’t have walked into it. When the sun is shining, they’re nearly invisible to the naked eye. That’s why we don’t see them until we feel that tug of being trapped in them. These webs are weaved in every. aspect. of. our. lives. And they were purposely designed so that we wouldn’t notice when we’re caught in them. But guess what? The storm is here. When everything stops “looking” so perfect, we see the truth. We see the rain pour onto these intricately weaved webs, and suddenly, we realise how many illuminate before our eyes. Some closer than we think. Some we’re already trapped in. But we see them now. And we can no longer unsee the truth. We’re watching you, web weavers. 
📣 YAS! The Asian Online Business Directory is now open for applications! 📣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After seeing the volume of comments from my previous post, it was made abundantly clear that there is a deeper call to create a space for Asian online business owners to be easily found for their areas of expertise.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As a result? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Over the past week as I've been quiet on IG, behind the scenes I've been working on putting together elements for The Asian Online Business Directory --⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I'm SO excited to announce that we are opening the doors for applications to be on this directory from TODAY!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Why is there an application, Mai-kee?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, I didn't want our Asian-ness to be the only thing we have in common, my friend. I would love for us to be aligned in regards to our values in how we run our lives and businesses as well.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So if you:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙏 Identify as Asian to any degree (yes, you are more than welcome to apply if you're bi-racial too!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙏 Have an online business as a service provider (it's okay if you're not 100% a service provider, but so long as it's a part of your offer suite)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 🙏 Are committed to doing business in service of your clients in an ethical manner at all times⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I invite you to apply to this directory!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⏰ The application doors will close on Friday 16th April at 9pm BST - so if you're interested in applying, please ensure your application is sent before then.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For any specific Q's about the directory, please forward them to our Directory Coordinator (her details are on the application page) - so I kindly ask that you do not DM me directly about your application 🙏⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To apply, head to the link in my bio (Option #5)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Got someone in mind?

Swipe to read 📲 #stopasianhate #standwithasians #asiansinbusiness #visibility 🙏❤️ 🔥 UPDATE 🔥 - Please note I’m onboarding a new team member ASAP to help me put this Asian Online Biz Directory together that I mentioned in this carousel, so please keep an eye out for announcements shortly. This directory will be free to be featured on, but there WILL be an application process to be on there. Why? Because as well as being an Asian entrepreneur, it’s important that we have aligned values and beliefs about the work we do, why we do it, and HOW we do it. Once we’ve figured it out behind the scenes, we’ll make announcements here on Instagram for the details. 🙏 Thank you for your patience and cooperation. ☺️
