8. Shannon McKinstrie on: A Call for Transparency & How to Handle Your Client's Unrealistic Social Media Expectations

Does taking the leap in starting your own social media management business freak you out? Or maybe you have been in the game for a while and feeling more than ever the pressure to always be on and working all the time. When it comes to the unrealistic social media expectations clients seem to have, establishing yourself as the expert, reassuring them that if they follow your lead, they will be okay. How do we do this? How do we reassure our clients, show our overall value, educate our clients and grow businesses with transparency? If you’re in a client pickle, dealing with red flags on the regular, or have been looking for permission to just start your social media management business, look no further!In today’s episode, my guest, Shannon McKinstrie is with us to break down the stigma of a social media manager, how the industry is still so new that most people don’t see the real value of social media managers, and of course, how to navigate client's unrealistic expectations when it comes to the results they seek month on month.Head to the Show Notes: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/episode8Sign up for my FREE, exclusive private Community for Social Media Managers: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/community8Download my FREE Guide, 35 Best Places to Get More Social Media Management Clients: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/clients8Shop my done-for-you templates for Social Media Managers: https://social-media-manager-confidential.captivate.fm/shop8Let’s be Instagram friends: https://www.instagram.com/sugarpunchmarketing/PS.
