Recently, the Business Ninjas podcast invited the local Acumen Connections payment processing team to their show. The podcast streams across several online platforms. In each episode, business leaders share tips and tricks from their own field. These business experts share their own experience working to scale their brand.

In the show, these pros talk about their professional experience. They may introduce their company and explain their niche. Experts discuss recent successes, then analyze how they accomplished those steps. At the end, they often cover where they’d like their business to go next.

A payment processor and content strategy team walk into a meeting. It sounds like the start to a lame joke, but it’s the truth.

Acumen Connections Digital Marketing Manager, Renee McBride, represented the payment processor as the Business Ninjas’ guest. In this episode, the two parties discussed mutual interests. They discussed payment processing and content marketing.

These days, 82% of marketers are investing in content marketing. Yet, it’s a relatively new marketing strategy. The more experiences others share about content marketing, the easier it is to learn.

The Business Ninjas podcast’s objective is to bring on skilled business personnel. They refer to these people as ‘business ninjas’. On the show, leaders discuss how they’ve scaled their brand. The show does more than that though. They provide a platform for other leaders to learn from the guests. Often, the show takes on an approach of analyzing content marketing as the main topic.

Each episode starts by getting to know the guest speaker. In the recent episode, McBride introduces herself at the start. She shares she’d been interested in marketing since childhood. Over the years, she worked in various roles where she gained copywriting and advertising experience. “[I did] a lot of freelancing and traditional 8-5 roles with small businesses. Wore a lot of hats. Solved a lot of problems… Joined Acumen Connections in 2019 to provide copywriting.”

One thing is noticeable from listening to the show. It keeps a solid balance between professional and personable. The podcast episode between Acumen Connections and Business Ninjas used Zoom. The video call made it a much more-relaxed tone.

At its core, Acumen Connections is a payment processor. They provide card merchant services. “80% of consumers say payment options impact their purchasing decisions,” McBride says. “Our role is helping businesses get paid. [We make] those transactions a pleasant and seamless experience.” Yet the brand provides more than just card readers and payment gateways.

McBride and Acumen Connections have one thing in common: they both love supporting other businesses. They learn and adapt. Then, they share their own findings with others. Their hope is to help educate others, so processes are easier in the future.

In the podcast episode, McBride continues to explain how Acumen Connections has utilized blog content in recent years. The team has found blogs to be a convenient way to help others.

She shares how they’ve found success, “[Writing articles] started as a great way to answer customer questions… We found we were getting some leads through those articles. There was value to them outside of just helping customers.” The payment processing team started to write to answer business questions. It was a way to provide advice to current customers. Plus, it helped other businesses grow.

Today, payment processor Acumen Connections, has over 200 business tips. In their articles, the team shares their own work experiences.

Companies can find almost everything. There are tips on how to use a credit card reader, advice on unique ways to expand business, and lists of career milestones to accomplish at various life phases.

Some of Acumen Connections’ articles include free marketing resources. “Content has become a big part of our strategy. It’s part of our brand,” McBride explains, “connecting businesses to free resources, tips, and info.”

One way Acumen Connections does this is by interviewing business experts. When writing some articles, they confer with an expert on the topic. It better ensures the accuracy of their blog. They see it as a way to share information straight from the source. The team uses it as a space to help promote local businesses.

Businesses helping businesses is part of the Acumen Connections brand. Of course, there’s a second party here that matches that same theme. The Business Ninjas podcast utilizes the experiences of others to teach.

The show provides a wealth of knowledge. With over 170 episodes and counting, any business can find an episode that shows them the next step in their plan.

During the pandemic, many businesses failed. People were going out less, spending stalled, and many teams found themselves understaffed. In our post-pandemic world, it’s essential that businesses work in unison to grow.

Projects like these are a reminder to all of us that there are small things we can do to help promote other businesses and help our cities grow.

Originally conducted as a live webinar, “Connections: Leverage the Power of Association” has now been shared as a YouTube video. In it, host Tessa Ashford discusses how entrepreneurs can utilize LinkedIn to establish meaningful connections with potential investors.

Ashford says that online platforms can help founders cast a wider net beyond their immediate social circle. Moreover, tools like LinkedIn enable entrepreneurs to identify key decision-makers, boosting their chances of finding an investor.

Raising capital is consistently one of the biggest challenges startups face. Without investors, launching or expanding a venture will not be possible. Ashford notes that networking can unlock many opportunities, but many founders may not be adept at this crucial skill. By giving viewers a proven and repeatable way of reaching out to potential investors, the video enables entrepreneurs to fast-track their goals.

Entrepreneurs will learn how to set up their LinkedIn profiles to enhance their credibility and increase their chances of getting a response. Likewise, the video explains how to use one’s existing contact list to request introductions to other users.

Understanding that outreach can only go so far, the webinar also includes tips and tricks for doing strategic profile searches. This ensures that founders can locate potential investors based on factors like industry, job roles, past companies, schools, and the like.

Ashford concludes: “There’s a reason why 89% of B2B companies rely on LinkedIn for prospect generation. Our video learning session shows you how to fully take advantage of it.”

The new report explains that self-directed gold IRAs have become an increasingly popular investment option for those looking to diversify their retirement portfolios. With the guide, seniors can make more informed decisions about their future.

More information can be found at: https://augoldira.com/analyst-say-gold-set-to-bounce-back-after-recent-fall

The new report shows that a self-directed gold IRA allows individuals to invest in a wider range of assets, including physical gold, silver, and other precious metals.

Gold has a history of holding its value over time, and has been seen as a safe haven asset during times of economic uncertainty. With a self-directed gold IRA, investors have the potential to earn returns on their gold investments, as well as benefit from the appreciation of the metal’s value.

In addition to this, as the cost of living increases, the value of paper currency can decrease. Physical gold has held its value over time, making it a hedge against inflation. By investing in a self-directed gold IRA, individuals can protect their retirement savings from the effects of inflation.

Self-directed gold IRAs also offer a level of diversification that traditional IRAs may not. By investing in a variety of assets, including gold, investors can spread out their risk and reduce their overall investment concerns. This is particularly beneficial for seniors and those nearing retirement, as it allows them to protect their savings while still having the potential for growth.

AuGold IRA also explains that investing in a self-directed gold IRA allows for greater flexibility when planning for retirement. Traditional IRA investments are often restricted to a narrow range of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. A self-directed IRA allows individuals to invest in a wider range of assets, including physical gold and other precious metals, as well as real estate and private businesses.

A spokesperson for the platform states: “If you invest in physical assets now, you might be able to profit from rising asset values later. But if you wait until later, you’ll miss out on the chance to profit from rising asset prices right now.”

The publishers have a fresh perspective on how questions can be used inside and outside the classroom as a starting point for independent inquiry, research, and growth. This new approach to crafting meaningful questions with broad potential for learning, engagement and fun is encapsulated in their book ‘Hacking Questions: 11 Answers That Create a Culture of Inquiry in Your Classroom’. This book has been written by Connie Hamilton for Times 10 Publications.

More information is available at https://www.10publications.com/HACKING-QUESTIONS

Known as the US’ leading ‘Questionologist’ and ‘Questioning Guru’, Connie Hamilton is proud to be changing the way that educators, school administrators, and classroom teachers think about questioning. Her work comes in response to a wealth of recent research that indicates that teachers are asking the wrong questions in class, in a way that detriments both themselves and their students.

As a recent think piece on Medium described, the way teachers are taught to question in their teacher training programs often stifles individuality, creativity and open-ended exploration. The article also proposes that much questioning in today’s classroom is borne of a rigid assessment system that is focused on standardized testing and ranking students.

Instead, ‘Hacking Questions’ has been written to prompt a rethink of the way that the school system asks questions and to consider what benefits better question asking may promote within the classroom.

More information on the power of good questioning can be accessed at https://www.10publications.com/assessment-books

As Connie Hamilton’s book proposes, good questioning can be the catalyst for helping students to learn, keeping them motivated, and constructing a better curriculum. In order to help educators get started on the meaningful work of renovating the question, ‘Hacking Questions’ contains practical advice, tutorials, and sample structured activities and exercises.

Times 10 Publications is the leading publisher of professional development texts in America. They have collaborated with the nation’s most esteemed educators and consultants in the production of their influential HACK Learning Series.

A spokesperson for Times 10 Publications said, “Questions are the driving force of learning in classrooms. ‘Hacking Questions’ digs into framing, delivering, and maximizing questions in the classroom to keep students engaged in learning. Connie Hamilton shows teachers of all subjects and grades how to ask the questions that deliver not just answers but reflection, metacognition, and real learning.”
