Speaker 1 (00:03):Welcome to the Solarpreneur podcast, where we teach you to take your solar business to the next level. My name is Taylor Armstrong and went from $50 in my bank account and struggling for groceries to closing 150 deals in a year and cracking the code on why sales reps fail. I teach you to avoid the mistakes I made and bringing the top solar dogs, the industry to let you in on the secrets of generating more leads, falling up like a pro and closing more deals. What is a Solarpreneur you might ask a Solarpreneur is a new breed of solar pro that is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve mastery. And you are about to become what's ups, TaylorSpeaker 2 (00:44):Taylor Armstrong. Back with another episode, tripping on my words today, excited to be back for another show. It's just me today. And we're going to be talking about some social media strategies, things you can do, even if you hate social media, I'm going to be honest. I am not a big fan of social media. And if you follow me, it's probably pretty obvious. Cause I have been recently a little bit inactive on social media, but I'm going to tell you why that is where I've been on social media and really kind of prep you for the next episode we got coming out. We've got a social media master on our next show where you're not going to want to miss out. His name is Brock Johnson. He is an Instagram guru, some prepping you for that episode and just jamming on social media for a little bit today.Speaker 2 (01:32):My thoughts where I've been and yeah, just kind of jam on it. See what comes out. So before I do that, I have a special invitation, as you probably know, we are here in San Diego coming at you from San Diego, California. And the invitation I have is we're actually doing a solar event. It's going to be on the 15th of this month. So short notice we're in may here. So if you're listening to this, um, in the future probably already passed, but don't you worry? We're going to have more events soon. Okay. But this event it's the 15th of May, 2021. Okay.

So come to it, let me know and let me know if you're coming and we will hook you up.Speaker 2 (03:24):So let's jump into the show today. So social media, um, the reason I have been off social media, I'll tell you right now. I, um, I have sometimes issues with spending way too much time on things, probably like a lot of people out there in the solar game. I think I got some ADD going on. Remember I got back from my, a church mission, did a church mission in Columbia. I came back and we had a mission psychologist and I was just kind of emailing them back and forth. And I don't know what it was, but I forgot maybe to, I dunno, put like a subject line or I forgot to say from Taylor or something and this mission psychologist, he goes, Taylor, I think you might have ADD. You should go get tested. So I went and took this test. They call it the Toba test.Speaker 2 (04:18):Um, but basically it's just testing your attention to detail.
