I started a one-person run branding studio in Oct 2020, I’ve had 5 organic reach outs from potential clients since, and all have ghosted me after the first email. I know this kinda stuff happens but is the rate of it happening normal?

Five is a really small sample. Have you sent follow ups? If not, do that. If you consider cold organic searches typically convert under 1% of traffic, you’ve got a long way to go before you have actionable information.

In the meantime, tool up your site and contact form with analytics and look at the shape of your traffic.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

What do you all normally do in your downtime at work? I used to be in a high stress, high tempo office but moved to a better paying role with much less responsibility. I’m still adjusting to have all this free time on my hands and need something to keep me busy throughout the day.

How do you determine equity amount for key employees or strategic hires? Is there an ideal way to do the math that is fair?

Hi All. Looking for thoughts on vertical expertise and whether it’s just a good sales tool or whether anyone has considered structuring the company in this format because it drives stronger work? I’ve always been fairly anti vertical because I think it stifles ideas and thinking, but you can always have people that specialize that you pull in when having bespoke industry knowledge can help. What do others think? Do clients want this from their partners?

When building a new brand who is the real client? Who has the final say?Who should you really listen to if no one is taking the lead? The president of the company, the original owner, the financial money partner, the third party manager? Everyone seems to have a voice but the main contact is the underling gathering and offering their own opinion which strangely seems to be the most on point. How do you handle this type of situation?
