I publish a series of inspirational quotes on my LinkedIn profile every week. I want to leave this one here and hope you find it useful. 🤗

Has anyone else read this article about the New FTC ruling on fake and false consumer reviews and testimonials? For one, I'm glad it's finally happening. However, I wonder how this will all shake out in the months and years to come especially with AI and how they'll enforce this ruling.

What are you currently doing for client outreach?

I'm curious to understand the Fractional Executive Business Tech Stack that people use and what it's used for. Over the years I've tried countless tools. Below is my 'current stack'. I always tinker with new ones that come to the market. I think it will help us uncover some tools we haven't heard of or can test into. Also, see what is 'efficient' in our business. As a fractional, I want to work less on the admin part of the business and more on serving clients and strategy. Here is my current main Business Tech Stack: - CRM 1. Systeme.io - My All-in-One Business tool (Website, Landing Pages, Forms, Emails, etc.) 2. Execudash.com - Pulls in all of my tools for a Dashboard view (* Disclaimer - This is my SaaS that I built for Solopreneurs) 3. Hubspot.com (used for capturing leads/contacts) 4. Cal.com - exact features of most calendly options only its Free - Marketing 1. MeetAlfred.com - All of my LinkedIn Automation 2. LinkedIn Sales Navigator - To Source Leads - Operations 1. Quickbooks.com - All my accounting needs 2. DocuSign.com - For all contracts 3. Stripe.com - all my payments go through Stripe. Love that it’s easy to setup and most other tools integrate with stripe seamlessly.
