Darin Myers of TAB CSRA says there are generally two reasons why employees don’t succeed: they have not been trained or they simply don’t have the right skills.
Editor’s Note: You have invested the time, money, and resources needed to build a great website. But how do you draw traffic to it? This is the question on every entrepreneur’s mind, and rightfully so. Your website is your digital storefront, and if no one is visiting it, what use is it? Whether trying to attract your first visitor or the millionth, generating website traffic is a massive part of growing your business. If you have a well-optimized website positioned to convert visitors into customers, an increase in website traffic
Ever wonder about co-workers or employees who deflect responsibility in the CSRA? They might say, “it’s not my job” or “they” will do it!

Editor’s Note: I remember in the late 1980’s when I managed telephone sales offices for USA TODAY and the Studio Arena Theater in Western New York, I always had “carrots” ready for the troops, first sale wins $20 etc. It was a “smile and dial”. The term “culture” wasn’t a thing then! Fast forward to 2010 or so when I hired salespeople for “Buzz on Biz”, commissions were appreciated, but the culture was really the most important thing. Did my folks believe in our mission? Did they like coming to
Editor’s Note: Yours truly considers himself a marketing professional, but I can admit it is a whole lot easier marketing for someone else than yourself! When I launched ABD in March 2021, I experimented with Facebook ads, radio and TV ads, e-blasts and more, trying to find “my lane”. I made mistakes via “trial and error”. Coach Darin enlisted the help of his TAB colleagues from all over the world! 1. Trying to expand product offerings and reaching multiple markets at the same time. There are many reasons your
Editor’s Note: There are many excellent CSRA digital marketing firms from Alison South to Wier Stewart to Kruhu to Tranter Grey to M3… the list goes on and on and there are plenty of free-lance social media “rock stars” as well. Can you DIY this important aspect of your business? Maybe. You must have the right tools and guidance. Coach Darin shows us the right path to take. These days, “marketing” has become synonymous with “digital marketing”, a key element of any business’s overall approach to attracting and retaining customers.
Editor’s Note: If you’ve ever seen the CNBC show, “The Profit”, the lead “character” in the business reality show always talks about the 3 P’s, “People, Product and Process”. In this week’s Coach’s Corner, Darin Myers says if you’ve got the “flow”, your company is ready to go! As in our daily lives, the world of business has grown a great deal more complex in recent times. Generally speaking, every organization finds itself challenged by innovations in technology, elaborate organization processes and procedures, and the need for compliance with all
Editor’s Note: Augusta Business Daily would not make deadline without “shortcuts” like Google Drive or Dropbox. When I ran Buzz on Biz, we literally ran all communications on stories, photos, and updates via email or text! Things are simpler now. Here are (3) excellent tips from Darin Myers, my coach at TAB CSRA! Ironically, technology enables us to get our work done anywhere and become more productive, but also takes us down many time-wasting activities and paths. When we are on our devices, it is easy to get sidetracked and
Editor’s Note: I was in a business networking meeting recently in Augusta when the subject of time management came up. An owner of a service company mentioned that his technicians and his clients ALL ask for him when they have an issue! It was suggested that he consider blocking out a few hours with the door shut to plan, think and work “on the business” instead of “in the business”. Is that you? It’s too bad there are only 24 hours in a day. Think what you could get accomplished
Editor’s Note: The CSRA is littered with driven people who have turned a “hobby” or “passion” into a business, especially when there is a need. This week, Arissa Kirk of Healthy Hangout and Amber Connor of Sinless Sweets are opening their own storefronts in Evans after seeing the health effects of their products on friends, family, customers and themselves. They have inspiration in Bethany Roley of Fierce Fitness and Vibe Yoga and Fitness—who turned her passion into a successful pair of businesses. At age 45, she is still going strong
