Lorraine Murphy started Australia’s first influencer agency – The Remarkables. In speaking at the recent Mothers Den Brunch Session, she shared her greatest keys to success after four years of rapidly growing her multi-award winning business. I liked the simplicity of her top tips, knowing that mastering simple elements is in itself a stellar victory.
Top five keys to success
- Get organised – it puts you in the drivers seat, and allows you to make proactive rather than creative choices. Lorraine plans every thing – from meals to movement, and daily to do lists.
- Courage is not the absence of fear – say yes, and be courageous.
- Build your profile as an expert – write your dream bio and then live it, and make sure you include awards (enter them – you’ve a better chance than you think).
- Welcome challenges – by doing this you’re welcoming accelerated learning.
- Get into practising gratitude – all day. For Lorraine this is truckloads of thank you cards (her key to creating miracles), and listing off five things she is thankful for before bed.
Influencers
- connect with them on social media first, and engage with them.
- share with them without expectations.
- influencers do leave space for entrepreneurial mums and things they love, despite focusing mainly on their mortgage.
- Reach.
- Integrity and authenticity (both on and off line).
- How they engage with their audiences.
- Collaborate with other influencers.
- Get out there, and be consistent – create a rhythm with your audience.
Sales and sales people
On sales, she states everyone thinks they need a sales person because sales is so important. From her experience the greatest sources of her sales have been
- 63% long term relationships
- 28% profile and being called by the client
- 3% cold calling.
