No business owner enjoys having someone who has never run a successful business themselves tell them what they should do. That’s why today’s guest is very special. Susan Bradley, Founder of the Social Sales Girls, is a business expert, business coach, and someone who truly understands the Boutique industry. In this episode, she will be sharing her knowledge and hard-hitting facts about what it takes to run a successful business.
Listen in as we discuss how to optimize your store and increase traffic to your website, as well as how to grow your business to be more than just a hobby. You will learn the importance of building an audience (and how to do so), why you shouldn’t compare your success to the success of others, and how to develop a proof of concept.
