Logo Trick – Cheap Logos that can be modified in Fiverr
Hey all – Becky mentioned this before, but she found a neat site – http://www.graphicriver.net – that you can get logos from.
She put together this Jing for a client. This is a great resource for your clients who need help with logos – http://screencast.com/t/KBp8Mehk

If client asks for us to translate their site into another language:
Our standing is to tell the client that they are responsible for translating their website. If they do not want to do this, we can talk about contracting this out – BUT we would prefer that they are in charge of it.
The terms of service & privacy policy will be in english.

Standard Message for Contact Form & Mailpoet
Hey everyone,
In today’ PC meeting, we decided it would be best to add a task to the template, and just be more mindful, of the messaging that we put into the Contact Form plugin and Mailpoet. To make it easier, we came up with a standard message for each. Tweak as the client wishes.
Contact Form: “Thank you for contacting me. I will reply to you as soon as possible”
Optin Box on site: “Thank you for requesting my free report. Check your inbox now to confirm your subscription.”
Optin Email Confirmation:- Email Subject – Confirm Your Report Download
- Email Text:
“Hello!
Thanks for requesting my free report. In order to receive your report and to activate your subscription to the list, please click the link below:
Click here to confirm your subscription. (link)”

for Email Subject for optin: Let’ say “Confirm Your Report Download”
and for the Email Text, let’s say:Thank you for requesting my free report. In order to receive the report and to activate your subscription to the list, please click the link below:
Click here to confirm your subscription. (link)”

One more thing — the email automatically comes from “admin”
Let’s make it say the therapist’s name.

Hey Becky – I made the changes you requested 🙂
We recently added a step in the STWP template – http://screencast.com/t/b42MRQJj
Do you want me to still add another task specifically for mailpoet to change admin to client name?
-
Becky DeGrossa
Yes. Clients won’t want their messages coming from Admin.

Another addition to this convo re Mailpoet:
When the person confirms their optin, Mailpoet’s default page is this: http://screencast.com/t/d1Paz45wD9q
It says You’ve subscribed to: My first list
Yup, we’ve added you to our list. You’ll hear from us shortly.
This needs to be changed, obviously.
So, first the list needs to be changed to named appropriately.
Second, the messaging on this page need say: Thank you for confirming your report request. The report will be send to you shortly. Please check your email.Then, finally, the person should get one final email sending them the free report. This is currently not working on the site I’m testing, so I don’t know what the messaging says, but it should be cleaned up, I’m sure!

Sites We Have Created
Hey all,
Below is a list of sites we have created. Becky wants us to have this list in case you want examples of how we’ve done things for other clients, and you can, as needed, send a couple of sample sites to your client, to show them how they can do their banner, put their picture on their site, create their footer, do their home page layout, etc.

Hi all – I wouldn’t necessarily send this list to clients. We already have our /template-options page for clients to see what we can do, and we’ll add other sites to that list as we go.
I want to be careful of what sites we send out. We recently had a prospect call one of our clients (who shall remain unnamed), because they saw his site on our site, and he bad-mouthed us to the prospect. Said that we charged him to answer the gazillion emails he sent each week (gasp!). Those of you who have interacted with this client has used the word “mean” to describe him 🙂 So, you can guess who it is.
I want you to have this list in case you want examples of how we’ve done things for other clients, and you can, as needed, send a couple of sample sites to your client, to show them how they can do their banner, put their picture on their site, create their footer, do their home page layout, etc.
Let me know if any questions.

STWP Process Template – Word Doc
Hello PCs!
I put together a word version of the STWP Process Template from LGED. I figured it would be a great resource for new and old PCs to have in a hard copy, rather than only accessible in LGED.
Here it is: STWP Template – 4.10.14
Any feedback is welcomed 🙂

Ideas:
A better process for handing off clients to new PC’s
Ways for the PC to get a better connection with the client prior to Kickoff meetings (i.e. If Becky spoke with them in the past, it would be helpful for a PC to know what they talked about, and what advice Becky gave them about their site/project/etc – some clients are getting frustrated bc they think the PC should know what Becky told them, and also know the advice Becky has given them already). It seems like the kickoff form and the MA aren’t enough, especially if the client has talked to Becky in the past.
Getting content consistent: Jane says pages should be 700-1000 words for google, Becky says 500 words for google. When two different things are being said, we should know which to be clear and concise.
