Bonus: The Highest-ROI Referral Engine For Local Service Providers

Emily Kim moved to Boston knowing no one. A single thoughtful post in a local Facebook group of 40,000 members led to 22 coffee chats and $10,000+ in closed business later, in-person networking is still her go-to growth strategy for local service providers. A former Apple software engineer, Emily left tech to build two in-person businesses from scratch, including a brand photography business with 300+ clients. Now a business and marketing strategist, she teaches service providers how to get known and hired locally instead of chasing content creation. In this episode, Emily breaks down what made that first post work, how her coffee-chat network still sends her referrals from a city she no longer lives in, and why leaving the house to talk to people beats posting online for highest-ROI marketing.  Connect with Emily: Freebie mentioned: Local Networking Guide: https://go.emilykim.co/ceo  ⁠⁠Website: www.emilykim.co ⁠ ⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emilykim.co Loving our bonus content and want more Cubicle to CEO in your ears?
