Things to Consider When Trying out New Strategies - Episode 129

As a business owner, you're constantly on a quest to bolster your business and enhance your outcomes. This journey demands a thorough assessment of where you stand and a willingness to explore new strategies and tactics. But the critical question remains: When and how do you decide it's time for a change?

 

In this episode, May Silvers dives into the complexities of adopting new business strategies, balancing the comfort of tried-and-tested methods against the promise of uncharted approaches. She lays out a roadmap for entrepreneurs contemplating a shift, centered around two fundamental principles: giving new strategies ample time to prove their worth and committing wholeheartedly to their implementation.

 

May stresses the importance of a strategic evaluation, identifying what aspects of your current operations are successful and which are not meeting expectations. She notes the common pitfalls business owners face—sticking too long with familiar routines or frequently jumping between new strategies without giving them a chance to flourish. Her advice is to practice patience and maintain a strong, consistent effort over at least a six-month period to accurately assess the impact of any new strategy.

 

Achieving clarity on your goals and the motivations behind pursuing a new direction is crucial. This understanding will serve as your anchor, helping you stay focused through the ups and downs of the transition. May also touches on the inevitable sacrifices that come with change, be they mental, emotional, physical, or financial, and the importance of approaching these sacrifices with openness and readiness.

 

This episode speaks directly to entrepreneurs and business leaders who are navigating the decision-making process around strategic change. May's insights offer valuable guidance for those looking to make informed, impactful decisions to drive their business forward.

 

Quotes

• "In order to become the market leader, you need to take the initiative to really assess the market to see if what you have been doing, all the different strategies that you have been doing to elevate your business, is still gaining the momentum as it was." (03:23 | May Silvers) 

• "Sales generation and closing sales is a three to six month cycle. And you have to give yourself time. You can't say that I go on social media for 30 days and you're going to see momentum." (05:54 | May Silvers)

• "You have to find yourself a formula, a strategy that is going to respect your current circumstances, your current energy, your current resources, and then find a solution.

And that six months is going to allow you to collect the data to see whether it's working or not." (07:45 | May Silvers) 

• "You also have to ask yourself when you're doing this new strategy, what is the ultimate goal that you want to achieve when adapting this strategy?" (10:20 | May Silvers)

• "Just know that when you're trying out something new, it's going to be difficult. It's going to have a lot of resistance. It's going to test you on all levels, mentally, emotionally, physically." (10:58 | May Silvers)

When and Where To Hire & How to Keep Good Help - Episode 128

“A lot of businesses are not able to scale and grow at the pace that they want because they are not able to find good help,” declares May Yeo Silvers as she tackles the common issue of hiring and managing your talent by sharing insights from her own experiences. She defines what “good help” means for your business, emphasizing the importance of understanding exactly what kind of help you need before starting the hiring process and taking your time to avoid common pitfalls.

 

May outlines a comprehensive hiring strategy into key areas: identifying who to hire, deciding when it's the right time to hire, understanding the best way to go about the hiring process, and figuring out how to keep your employees or contractors engaged and efficiently part of the team for the long haul. She recommends starting with a virtual assistant to manage backend tasks, allowing you to focus on enhancing brand visibility and expanding sales outreach. Timing is everything, May advises, suggesting a proactive approach to hiring that anticipates needs rather than reacts to pressures.

 

Retention is key and May discusses how to maintain a productive team through clear communication and setting clear expectations. She touches on the challenges of letting go of team members who aren't able to adapt and grow with the business, acknowledging how tough but necessary those decisions can be.

 

May offers practical advice on where to look for potential hires, from networking events to employment agencies. She reminds listeners that finding and keeping the right team members is a continuous effort that requires patience and adaptability. It is a process that helps in both your personal and professional growth.

Quotes

• “You never want to hire in a hurry. Give yourself time to look at the different options and talk to different people to find the best fit.” (07:45 | May Yeo Silvers)

• “You need, as a leader, to be able to communicate your expectations very clearly. Very, very clearly. I cannot stress how important this is. You need to express how you measure their performance and how you expect them to fulfill the job.” (10:04 | May Yeo Silvers) 

• “To build a team, it's not just knowing the job, but really finding someone who can gel with your personality and most importantly, also support and see the reason why you do certain things. And support your vision, your mission, your cause, and your purpose.” (16:15 | May Yeo Silvers) 

• “It's moving along, molding as you go along to find that person, molding the person, molding yourself so that everybody fits into this sphere of a company culture that nobody wants to leave.” (27:57 | May Yeo Silvers)

Handling Sales Objections Is About Prevention, Not Reaction - Episode 127

When you’re in a sales discussion, are you encountering objections or are you having the opportunity to have a clarifying conversation? In this episode of the Unstoppable Eventrepreneur Podcast, host May Yeo Silvers dives into the vital topic of sales objection prevention. The approach May takes herself and recommends for the clients she coaches is to prevent sales objections before they happen rather than having to react to them in a sales conversation.

 

Preventing objections starts with a marketing message that resonates with the target audience and communicates the value of the services provided. This message should clearly define whom the business serves, the problems it solves, and the unique benefits it offers, ensuring clients are pre-qualified before entering a sales conversation. 

 

May also encourages taking the time to understand and address the deeper emotional needs of prospects, such as peace of mind, safety, and happiness. Aligning sales messages with these intangible emotional outcomes can make potential clients see the value of the services offered and create clarity about why you and not someone else with the same problem solving skills, should be hired.

 

Transparency and authenticity in marketing and sales conversations are also vital. Event planners should be clear about what they can deliver and their expectations from clients, building trust and ensuring a good fit.

 

Listeners eager to dive deeper into refining their sales strategies should not miss May's upcoming marketing workshop, "Slaying Sales." This workshop is specifically designed to equip event planners with advanced sales techniques, help set achievable goals, decode the intricacies of sales metrics, and build sales funnels that effectively convert prospects into clients.

Quotes

• “It's no longer talking about the money and why they want it cheaper and why it should be cheaper. It's all about clarification, how to work with me and the process of how it will look like when we work together.” (05:31 | May Silvers) 

• “People are not only buying a solution when they decide to work with you. They are buying, at the end of the day, a sense of safety, a peace of mind, and a sense of happiness when they decide to work with you.” (06:21 | May Silvers)

Is Your Business Structured to Have Sustainable Profit? - Episode 126

It's a curious paradox that many entrepreneurs in the event industry venture into the business world seeking financial and time freedom, only to find themselves shackled by the structure of their own creations. 

 

May zeroes in on the traps of day-to-day business operations that ensnare event planners, decorators, and designers, preventing the scalability and freedom they initially sought. She draws a vivid contrast between the conventional model of stocking up on inventory and micromanaging every event, and her own practice of concentrating on event design while delegating the execution to trusted vendors. This strategic delegation, May illustrates, is key to breaking free from operational burdens and steering towards a business model that truly offers freedom.

 

For event entrepreneurs struggling with the inventory dilemma, May lays out actionable strategies: training a capable team or hiring contractors to handle event setups, exploring additional revenue streams such as event rentals, and adopting a pricing model that compensates for personal involvement. These steps are not just about reducing workload; they're about enhancing the business's value proposition and ensuring profitability.

 

May encourages listeners to realign their business structures with their original goals of financial independence and time flexibility. She advocates for a mindful balance between satisfying client needs and building a robust sales pipeline that secures the business's future.

 

Quotes

• “I structure my business in a way that I respect and I understand why I want to have a business, which is I want to have the freedom of time and also financial freedom. So I need to be able to scale the business and I need to be able to have the time to do whatever I want and to work wherever I want. So these three goals. So location, I want to be able to work wherever I want. And I want to be able to scale the business so I can make money when I'm not even at the venue, okay?” (12:33 | May Silvers)

• "If your business requires you to do all the client-facing work every single day, you can never scale. Never, never, never scale." (18:16 | May Silvers) 

• "When you take on something, you're giving up something else. So you've got to make sure that you understand what you're giving up. So it all comes down to how are you structuring your business." (24:25 | May Silvers)

Should You Invest In A Course Or A Mentorship Program? - Episode 125

If you want to accelerate your event planning or design business, should you enroll in a course or engage in a mentorship program? In this episode, May Yeo Silvers breaks down the essentials, starting with courses—a self-paced learning experience often accompanied by varying levels of support, from email and group assistance to live Zoom sessions. These options present a more affordable entry point into professional development but demand a high degree of self-discipline and motivation.

 

In contrast, mentorship programs represent a deeper dive, offering a comprehensive and structured curriculum supported by live interactions, personal development coaching, and a strong emphasis on accountability and community. Spanning six to twelve months, these programs are designed to foster significant mindset shifts and self-belief, crucial elements for long-term success.

 

Understanding your learning style and personal needs is key, May suggests. She outlines how self-starters with a strong track record of independent success might thrive in a course setting. Meanwhile, those seeking transformational change and who benefit from external motivation and accountability might find mentorship programs more aligned with their needs.

 

Reflecting on her journey, May shares insights from her progression from mentorship to self-guided learning, underscoring the importance of self-awareness in choosing the right investment. She encourages listeners to seek perspectives from trusted advisors to illuminate which path might suit them best.

 

Concluding, May reaffirms the value of investing in personal and business growth, stressing that the choice between a course and mentorship should align with one’s unique circumstances and commitment to growth. It’s not just about choosing an educational investment but about selecting a path that resonates with your personal journey towards achieving your business dreams.

 

Quotes

• “You have to ask yourself, okay, can you count on yourself to show up to do the work? If you have not shown any track record in your life that you are a person of integrity in terms of doing what you say you will do and always do it to the end, no matter how many times you fail, you get up and you still do it. If you haven't had that track record, then you will need a mentorship program.” (14:47 | May Silvers)

• “When people tell me that they invest in things, regardless whether it's a course or mentorship program and it didn't work, I don't look at what they invest in. I look at their behavior. What kind of excuses are they giving to me? What's are the reasons they're giving to me that they say that they cannot work? Because if it works for some other people, it will work for you if you're willing to go through a certain process.” (16:41 | May Silvers) 

• “Unfortunately, a lot of people refuse to get the help they need because they don't see that the investment is worth it.” (29:12 | May Silvers)

Business Financial Numbers to Know at the Beginning and Ending of the Year - Episode 124

Do you know your numbers? In this episode, May Yeo Silvers takes listeners beyond the surface of basic profit and loss, into the heart of what truly determines a business’s financial health. With insights grounded in her own entrepreneurial journey with M2 Hospitality and Events4Anyone, May opens up about the often-overlooked aspects of financial analysis that can spell the difference between growth and stagnation.

 

The essence of May’s discussion lies in the critical examination of opening and closing balances, a simple yet profound indicator of a business's profitability over the year. But the journey doesn’t stop at these balances; May delves deeper, examining the intricacies of expenses across various categories such as technology, labor, and marketing. It’s not just about tracking where the money goes but understanding the return on these investments that illuminates the path to informed decision-making.

 

Turning the attention to revenue, May explains the importance of knowing not just how much you earn, but how and where from. This analysis isn’t merely reflective but predictive, guiding where resources should be channeled in the future to maximize profitability.

 

The concept of working capital is demystified as May explains its role in ensuring operational liquidity. She brings practicality to the forefront, advising on how to calculate the necessary working capital to keep the business afloat during tough times.

 

May’s narrative is interspersed with personal anecdotes of efficiency and cost-savings, like her strategic move to consolidate software platforms, showcasing how operational tweaks can lead to significant financial savings.

 

This episode stands as a testament to the power of financial literacy in the entrepreneurial journey. May doesn’t just share a formula for analyzing business finances; she invites her listeners to adopt a mindset shift. By embracing a deeper understanding of their financials, entrepreneurs can unlock new levels of insight, leading to more strategic decisions, optimized profitability, and ultimately, a healthier business.

 

Quotes

• “At the end of the year and at the beginning of the year, I always look at a few numbers and then I make business decisions based on what the numbers are telling me. Emotions come into play, of course, they are taken into consideration, but numbers don't lie.” (2:58 | May Silvers) 

• “So let's just say that your opening balance is $20,000. The opening balance, $20,000, if you're a brand new business. Let's keep this simple. If you're a brand new business, $20,000 you put in at the beginning of the year as a working capital for your business. That means you don't have any revenue come in yet. And then at the end of the year, you can see that your closing balance is $30,000. So you're very happy that you have more money at the end of the year than the beginning of the year.” (5:19 | May Silvers)

• “I also need to know where the revenue came from. So I start looking at, okay, I booked this event, and this event came from where? Who referred me the lead? Or Did it come from Facebook ads? Or did it come from my social media where, you know, people reach out to me based on the content that I created?” (10:00 | May Silvers)

• “So before you go into thinking that, oh, you know what, just cut, cut, cut, save money. I also have to think about the efficiency of the business. doesn't make sense for me to have two separate platforms to do two separate things, whereas I can have a platform that can do it all. So it's not just the money, but also the efficiency of how the business is being run, because the efficiency will ultimately affect how profitable you are.” (19:59 | May Silvers) 

• “My marketing strategy for 2024, is it going to require more working capital? If it's going to require more working capital, how much more? Is $20,000 enough? If $20,000 is enough, which is my working capital for 2023, okay, if $20,000 is sufficient based on the pipeline of the leads or sales that's coming in, so I know that there's more business coming into the business. I can actually take that $10,000 out and then put it in somewhere else where I can earn interest or invest.” (22:03 | May Silvers)

Is Staying Status Quo a Good Place to Be? - Episode 123

Are You Settling for Less Without Realizing It? In this episode of the Unstoppable Eventrepreneur Podcast, host May Yeo Silvers delves into a thought-provoking topic: the tendency to accept the status quo in our personal and business lives. Inspired by her own experience at a mini-clinic, where she learned she had adapted to breathing with congestion, May reflects on the broader implications of getting too comfortable with less than ideal situations.

 

May discusses the risks of complacency, pointing out how easily people tolerate and accept discomforts, from physical pain to financial struggles, or even neglect their well-being. She challenges listeners to introspect: Are there things you tolerate that actually are not acceptable to you?  And why?  Are you avoiding the changes necessary for improvement due to fear or perceived effort?

 

Highlighting the influence of one's social circle, May underscores the importance of surrounding oneself with people who refuse to settle for mediocrity. Being in the company of those who are content with the status quo can be a significant barrier to personal growth and achievement. May encourages her listeners to be truthful about their ambitions, seek community with achievers, and to actively pursue what they genuinely desire.

 

This episode serves as a powerful call to action, urging listeners to be curious about and to regularly assess their lives and businesses and to embrace the journey of personal and professional development, rather than remaining stagnant in the toleration of the status quo.

 

Quotes

• “We're depriving ourselves to show up at 100% because we thought that the difference between 100% and 98% is not that great. In reality, it is.” (10:34 | May Silvers)

• “Status quo means staying where you are right now, not moving forward, not moving backwards. But know that if you're not moving forward, you're not actually status quo. You're moving backwards in many other ways. you're just refusing to look at it. And you say that you've tried everything, right? Everything. But nothing's working. And finally, you gave up. How about trying not giving up?” (13:18 | May Silvers) 

• “Status quo is a very dangerous way to live personally and also in your business. Staying status quo means you're getting used to things that are not serving you.” (13:45 | May Silvers)

3 Ways to Overcome Price Objections - Episode 122

One skillset that will transform your proposal close rate is learning to overcome price objections. In a must-listen episode of the Unstoppable Eventrepreneur Podcast, host May Yeo Silvers provides invaluable insights into understanding and navigating clients' perspectives on pricing.

 

The crux of the issue, May reveals, is perception. She elaborates on the importance of showcasing the complexity and expertise required in event planning. When clients see the intricate details and the level of professional skill needed, they begin to understand the true value of the services offered. This shifts their focus from cost to value.

 

May also delves into the psychological aspect of pricing – the subconscious price tag clients put on their own time and effort. If clients believe they can save money by taking on the task themselves, your fee must convincingly reflect the savings they would enjoy in terms of time, effort, and stress by hiring a professional instead.

 

Throughout the episode, May lays out a three-tiered strategy to counter price objections effectively. First, demonstrate the complexity and expertise of your work. Second, make potential clients feel the burden and effort of managing such tasks themselves. And third, highlight the extraordinary benefits they gain by employing your services – a stress-free experience, valuable time saved, and overall cost-effectiveness.

 

This episode is packed with strategies to transform the way you communicate value to your clients, ultimately empowering you to elevate your work, articulate your worth, and boost your business's revenue.

 

Quotes:

• “I don't believe in price objection. It's more about potential clients don't see the value they will get versus the amount of money they're going to invest in you.” (1:58 | May Silvers) 

• “Does your work look like I can go to different stores and put it all together and make it look that way? If I can, I will be hesitant or your potential client will be hesitant to want to do it.”  (10:10 | May Silvers)

• “You need to be able to communicate your price, why they should pay, and also elevate why they don't want to do it themselves, right? You need to understand what exactly is the buying motivation. So if you are getting a price objection, it's because they're not valuing something. It's not because they're not valuing your work because they look like your work is a DIY work. They are not valuing what they would be missing if they were to do it themselves. So we have to go find out what are they valuing?” (12:12 | May Silvers)

Don't Adjust Your Goals to Match Your Actions - Episode 121

Have you ever been tempted to lower a goal you’ve set for yourself when it seems too hard to achieve?  In this first live recording of 2024, May Silvers warns listeners that lowering goals is a pathway to mediocrity, not success.

 

At the start of the year, it's common for people to set high ambitions, fueled by optimism and motivation. But around the 90-day mark, enthusiasm can wane, and doubts can arise, especially if results aren't immediately visible. It's at this critical juncture that it can be tempting to negotiate with yourself and scale back your goals.

 

May warns that by reducing goals to match current actions, people inadvertently settle for less, justifying reduced efforts and accepting subpar results. This mindset, she argues, not only leads to mediocrity but also stunts personal and professional growth.

 

To break this cycle, May advocates for adopting a strategy of baby milestones and steps. By breaking larger objectives into smaller, achievable targets, individuals can progressively amplify their efforts and maintain momentum. Align your actions with your high goals and commit to consistent, incremental progress.

 

If you want to kick off the year strong and create momentum for your business, check out May Silvers’ Passion to Profit workshop on Jan 23-25th. This event promises to guide participants through the critical stages of business development, including preparation, launch, and scaling.

 

Quotes:

• “The first 30 days is the easiest. Because everything is new and fresh. It becomes a little bit more tedious when it comes to Day 60. And it becomes almost intolerable when it comes to Day 90, especially when you haven't seen any results that you have put in for day 30 and day 60. This is when self-doubt comes in.” (4:01)  

• “Ask yourself, is this the value that you will want to show to people around you? That it's okay that I adjust my goal because I really don't want to work so hard for it? That's the reality. That you adjusted your goal not because you want less. You adjusted your goal because you don't want to work so hard for the real goal that you said to yourself.” (9:50 | May Silvers)

• “When you set baby milestones, you only have to take baby steps.” (11:07 | May Silvers)

• “In order for you to reach your goal, having an action plan, having accountability, having a clear path of what needs to be done, and taking the path that is guided by people who have done it before, telling you what to do, sharing with you what to do, so that you can reduce the number of mistakes that you make yourself, that plays a huge role in staying consistent and hitting your goal in a timely fashion.” (19:01 | May Silvers)

Quotes:

• “It's not that the goal is difficult. It's because you think it's difficult - because you don't believe you can do all that.” (7:31 | May Silvers)

• “If you want to be a wealthy woman, you need to start to think and act like a wealthy woman. Every single decision you make, you are your future self. (7:50 | May Silvers) 

• “So when I am trying to hit or break my income ceiling, I have to start thinking that I'm wealthy already. What would a wealthy person do? What would a CEO do? What would a successful CEO do in their business when they're presented this opportunity? Would a successful CEO be nickel and diming? Like, oh, should I invest in this or should I invest in that? The successful CEO will already know what is the best decision to make for their business because they're already farsighted. They are not making decisions based on their current reality. So this is a game that I play with myself all the time. I envision that I'm already there. You have to envision that you are already there and then get into that feeling and then make a decision based on that.” (9:46) 

• “This is a game that I play with myself all the time. I envision that I'm already there. You have to envision that you are already there and then get into that feeling and then make a decision based on that.” (10:29 | May Silvers)

• “I am the boss. That money is mine. The success is mine. Show up and act like one. Okay? You say you want something, show up and act like you already have it. So your reality has to be so much stronger than your current view of your current reality. That's how you're going to achieve your goal.” (17:00 | May Silvers)
