People tend to overcomplicate things. Let’s make your business processes more simple and effective. Once you’ve done it, you can automate your business in many areas.

Our special guest Greg Hickman got a tip from his coach to leave only one thing in each step of the business model he used. I watched the video where he shared that a few months ago.

Then I decided to experiment with the social media I use to share the content and see if I can increase the traffic from it. I picked Pinterest as a primary platform.

Within a month I saw the traffic growth and now spend less time on Pinterest as a big part of the process is automated.

While I’m still experimenting with it, listen to the episode and see how you can simplify and automate your business processes.

Greg is a marketing funnel strategist, coach and founder of System.ly, a marketing automation consultancy working primarily with service providers, consultants and coaches to productize their services and automate both their sales and fulfillment systems.

Greg has helped design and implement systems for businesses such as Entrepreneur on Fire, Jon Loomer, Chris Ducker, Jay Baer and other market leaders.
