Hi there,

In my 8+ years in the tech world, I have seen lunchtime or break time information sessions employed frequently for training purposes. In mostly virtual environments, this strategy still works as long as lunch is provided. This can be done through Doordash, Ubereats, etc.

Happy to jump on a call to go through specifics as needed.

Hi there,

As a former child myself (and still learning to be an adult :-) ), I used to have this same issue. Without more detail, it is very difficult for us to say how we can help your child with her communication issues/self-confidence issue.

Is your child currently living in a perfectionist environment? She might feel the pressure to always get the right answer on her first try/attempt. In this regard, it is imperative to let her know that most people are not "right" in their first few attempts in doing ANYTHING. Even revolutionary business leaders/public figures like Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Michael Jordan, Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, among others make mistakes and then ITERATE on those mistakes to get the solution.

My advice would be to ask her a couple of thoughtful, pointed questions to get to the root cause of her self-doubt and, ultimately, let her know that it is perfectly okay to be wrong. No one has the answers all the time and we will definitely face problems as we go through life (some problems don't even have solutions, and we have to be okay with it). The key is to learn from our mistakes so that we minimize the possibility of repeating these same mistakes.

Happy to jump on a quick call to offer my guidance on which questions you can ask and achieve your desired outcome.

Hi there,

Having been in your shoes months ago, I can explain how you can get a great start from Clarity.

You can only have your Clarity booked-calls provide feedback on your profile. However, you can create a landing page or channel to list your previously gained feedback/reviews and post the URL on your profile somewhere. Then, the prospect can click on the URL and see your track record for themselves. You should also put your Clarity profile link on the landing page so that after they have perused your reviews, they can easily click back to your Clarity page and book a call with you.

Let me know if this makes sense. I am happy to jump on a call to explain in further detail and in parallel, provide you a set of guidelines and strategies to get your first paid clients on Clarity.

Hi there,

Alongside my full-time job as an Account Executive, I am currently generating side income on Clarity by utilizing my years of experience as an AE to help individuals with sales advice, or job search consultations.

As you can see, the path of least resistance to generate side income, especially on a site like Clarity, is to play to your current strengths and provide your current expertise for a given rate. Do you have experience in front-end web development? Do you have real estate experience? Are you an awesome cook? Do you have a way with tutoring? Do you know how to structure a great workout regimen? Have you passed any difficult exams before? If you have a skill that you can market, you can definitely generate side income with enough grit and hustle.

Without understanding your core competencies and strengths, it is incredibly difficult to come up with ideas to generate side income.

I would be happy to book a call with you to explain how I received my first call on Clarity within 3 weeks of establishing my profile and in parallel, help you outline a framework to get started.

Kevin


Hi there,

I can help you with this. In my first 3 weeks on Clarity, I received 1 phone call request and as of today, take calls as they are requested.

The first step to optimizing your Clarity account is focus. Gardening, Public Speaking, and Networking are three very different fields. Have you done your research on which of the three fields are in the highest demand? Can someone scan your profile and easily discern the value you can provide to them? Does your profile tell the individual why they should spend their hard-earned money on your services?

After determining which field is in the highest demand, you need to focus on creating/customizing your profile to fit that specific market. Take a look at successful clarity profiles and observe how they market their services. After doing so, you can start building out your profile in a similar manner.

Happy to jump on a call and explain in greater detail.

They are pure audio but there are ways to set up video while getting compensated through audio (i..e. google hangouts).

Let me know if you would be interested in learning more.

Hi there,

Having started my consulting journey a few months ago and received paid clients, there several ways to drive traffic to your profile (and to answer your question, when you start out, yes you have to drive your own traffic to your profile).

The first place to share this website is through your LinkedIn profile if you are comfortable doing so. LinkedIn is the leading business platform that allows you to network with many professionals and potentially drive traffic to your clarity profile.

If you have a professional website, I would also link your clarity.fm profile to that website.

You also have to ask yourself, why would somebody want to visit my profile? What skills do I bring to the table that is of value to people? After answering those questions, you have to think about how to market to your target audience and grab their interests.

At the beginning of your consulting journey, you need to be a "hunter" and aggressively network/seek out the right folks to build out your personal brand. After establishing your credibility, then people will start coming to your site.

Happy to jump on a call and help you strategize.

Hi,

I've worked for 3 separate venture-backed firms and I've seen/experienced what you are describing time and time again.

You need to put yourself in those investor's shoes. They invest in dozens of companies and have given you their hard-earned money in hopes that one day, they will earn a multiple on their invested cash. If you were an investor, you would feel the same way about your money....UNLESS the CEO/cofounder of the company convinced you that this creativity can translate to more revenue for the company which in turn, equals more money in their pocket in the future.

Your job, in short, is to sell that innovation or creativity to your investors to make them understand the value proposition of that innovation so that they won't feel the need to turn on the heat. This is why the job of a CEO/Cofounder is so difficult- you are the face of the company and you have to guide operations, focus on innovation, sell to customers and internal/external stakeholders, among many other things.

I am happy to provide tips and show you some real-life examples on how the companies I worked for in the past were able to solve this dilemma of handling different agendas. Let me know if you want to book a call and I would be happy to explain in greater detail.

Best,
Kevin


Having worked with a variety of technology companies, most of them claim to be innovative but it is very difficult to be truly innovative.

In general, companies don't practice innovation more regularly because often times, they are bogged down with operational, revenue, or engineering issues. Technical debt built up by previous engineering practices can hamper innovation. Broken operational issues to keep business processes in place can destroy innovation by the "we have always done it this way approach." Companies often times are also focused on revenue issues and are trying to find that stability before they can truly practice innovation.

Long story short, a lot of companies need to be in a stable state of mind with an agile culture (not necessarily cash flow positive or profitable) to practice innovation. In my 7 years of experience speaking with hundreds of companies, only a handful have been truly innovative. Happy to jump on a call to talk through more detail with you.


Hi there,

I started Clarity around September and within 30 days, I had 2 paid customer phone calls. There can be a number of reasons why you are not seeing the results that you want from your clarity account.

Without seeing your profile or understanding your skillset, I cannot give you great detail as to why you are not seeing results. The first step to take is think about what kind of value you provide to individuals on Clarity. Is it valuable? Do other people ask for similar expertise? How do you quantify that value? The next thing to do is promote yourself. Do you have a professional profile picture? Do you write accurate descriptions for your skillset? Last but not least, are you going through the Answers tab on Clarity? This is the easiest way to show off your expertise and have people book calls through your answers.

Let me know if this helps. I'm happy to jump on a call and go through a strategy session to help you.

Best,
Kevin
