About David Letizia

CRM & Automation

 
David Letizia established Your Business Optimised in 2014 after a long career in engineering design and construction.
 
One thing that amazed me about small business owners was that many seemed to spend most of their time looking for leads and prospects, rather than concentrating on their existing customers. They were missing a big opportunity to do repeat business with them or finding new ways to solve their latest problems. Some did not even track who bought what and when, or who were their best customers. How did they know who to target without this?
 
Another thing that seemed to be missing from most businesses was a database with the contact details of all leads and prospects, a way of recording interactions, and where these leads are in their buying journey.
 
Both of these key aspects of business can be implemented using a CRM (Customer Relationship Management) System and integrating it with the businesses Invoicing or Accounting system (for customers) and with social media, websites, call centres, forms, sign-ups, events and shop fronts (for leads).
 
So that is what we build for the businesses we work with. We help them create a database and at least 2 long term marketing campaigns. One for Customers and one for leads (or non-customers). We also set up segmentation and track activities or responses to email and other marketing, so we can use this data to make marketing, sales and other business decisions.
Once this marketing system is set up, the business owner can then look at new lead generation processes, including lead magnets, competitions. We usually use paid Facebook and Google ads to drive more leads into a working process, that captures everyone’s details for nurturing, education and conversion.
 
We also look at ways to increase repeat sales to existing customers with new products and services, and some of these new offers can be delivered by joint ventures and partnerships with other businesses.

 

About Amanda Lowry

Branding Strategist

It's important to first understand what BRANDING is.

A 'brand' is an expectation people have of your business. We often confuse or dilute 'brand' with a logo. A logo is not a brand, it is simply the symbol that identifies the substance of the brand that is behind it. If your business does not have this brand substance you simply just have a logo.

Brands are built on a series of components that inhabit everything that you do, from your product, service, marketing, relationships, communications. Everything.

It is often hard for you, the business owner to remove yourself enough from what you do, to see the bigger picture, and to set a brand foundation that is unbias to your personal preferences.

If you truly wish to build a successful brand, then focus on substance as well as your visual representation. Get clear on who you are and why you exist. Allow the mission, vision, and values to feed everything that you do both internally and externally.

Remember, brands take time, the investment in time and money now will pay dividends in the future.

If you find you need help building the foundations of the brand, drop us a line here. This is why we exist, to help you reach your potential for success.

Amanda has worked within the branding world for just over 10 years working with small startups to re-positioning high turnover companies.

From her early days as a Graphic Designer, Amanda knew there was more to just designing a logo and so, devoted her lifes work to understanding, building, and growing successful brands, ones that had substance, ambition, and a desire to make real change happen.

After running and operating her own successful Brand Agency for 8 years, Amanda has recently moved into an executive role leading the creative team at MFL Creative where she now works with small to medium-sized business owners to establish, understand, and grow their brands.

Stemming from a design background, Amanda possesses the ability to establish strong Brand Strategy and along with her team, translating this into strong visual pieces of communication i.e logos.

With a strong passion for problem-solving, people, and brand, she now seeks to share her knowledge and enthusiasm for building sustainable brands that make a difference.

She is an ad-hoc advisor for ASBAS, Brand Consultant and Board Member for Accessibili-t, Brand Consultant for Advancing Women in Business (AWIB) and Business Mentor in branding for Hot & Healthy.

About Craig Scott

Mindset & Mental Health Coach

 

"Success! What is it? What Defines it?

Success is a state of mind.

Whether you feel successful or not is determined by what your beliefs about success are.

Most of us have never taken the time to even investigate what our definition of success is!

When we do, we often find they are not even our own definitions, but just our expectations, given to us from societal, parental and environmental conditioning.

And yet, we let these conditioned beliefs determine how we feel about ourselves and life.

Take the time to have a look at this you might be surprised by what you find.

If your not sure how to do this drop us a line here and we can work it out together"

With nearly 20 years in the field of health and wellbeing, Craig Scott studied Naturopathy and has a degree in Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Oriental Psychology with a passion for the scientific approach to investigation and inquiry.

For 10 years Craig worked in a health retreat on the Sunshine Coast, Qld which focused on the treatment of clients with stress, anxiety and depression as well as drug and alcohol addiction, whereas the Senior Coach, and Coach Trainer he helped write the Coaching Programs and Training Programs and is a qualified Master NLP Practitioner.
