The Power of Customer Interviews
Katelyn Bourgoin once said, “Don’t sell me a new bed. Sell me a good night’s sleep so I can finally be that person that quits hitting snooze and can make that morning workout on time.” That quote has stuck with me ever since and is a driving force in how I create copy for websites, […]...
The Logistics Behind The Tokyo Olympics
The ethos of competition is better, faster, stronger. We see it in every aspect of business, life, and of course, sports. More specifically The Olympic Games.And in 2020, where we saw what the world looked like without sports, we saw what a society looks like without rooting for a common goal. With the opening ceremony on Friday, I thought it would be interesting to dive into the logistics of the Tokyo Olympics and how that has evolved--and continues to evolve even days before the opening ceremonies.Also on the show is Charlie Saffro of CS Recruiting to give us the scoop from within the trenches of the hiring world and Andrew Cox is breaking down the holiday strategy for retailers all across the globe.Follow Cyberly’s podcast on Apple or SpotifyConnect with Blythe on Linkedin, YouTube, and TikTokFollow Charlie Saffro on LinkedinCheck out CS RecruitingFollow Andrew Cox on LinkedinSubscribe to Andrew’s email, Point of Sale...

Marketing Your Business in a Privacy-Focused World

Pitfalls and Perks of Working With Trucking Influencers
Since social media’s inception, drivers have had an incredibly strong presence across all channels. Whether it’s Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and now Tiktok, truckers dominate the space. So with recruiting and retention of drivers within the industry being an issue for a variety of factors, I always wondered why carriers and hiring firms don’t utilize influencers within the industry more.Now going back to the show topic….the phrase “influencer” might cause you to roll your eyes. But the quote/unquote word “influencer” has always been around and driven decisions we make. Therefore in this show, I’m pulling two interviews we recently conducted on Cyberly where I got to interview Tom Authenthaler of The Influence Marketer to discuss how businesses can start with influencer marketing. And then we’ve got Wanye Cragg who’s been sharing his experiences on the road as a trucking influencer for years.
