We’ve run ad campaigns that racked up thousands of views, but visibility alone isn’t what made them successful. It was the connection behind the content. If you’ve looked at your analytics and thought, “My numbers are great, so why aren’t people buying?”, or felt like you’re always showing up but still being overlooked, this episode is for you.
Recorded together in person at a conference, in matching train conductor outfits, Judy and Greta break down why visibility isn’t vanity, and how to use their 3 C’s framework of connection, conversion, and commitment to create visibility that actually moves your business forward. Being seen won’t matter unless people believe in you enough to take action.
People stop and ask, “Why are you wearing train conductor outfits?” (Some think they’re mechanics.) It creates curiosity, a pattern interrupt, and an easy, authentic way to start a conversation. You can’t build trust until that connection is made, so find whatever way of starting conversations feels comfortable for you. For Judy and Greta, dressing like this at events is it.
Connection comes up in everything we do: content, sales calls, networking. We don’t look at people as dollar signs. We look at how we can connect and serve, because sales is a service.
People aren’t buying from the loudest voice. They’re buying from the one they trust most. When someone asks a friend who they should work with, the friend doesn’t recommend the person they just saw an ad for. They recommend someone they had an awesome experience with. Your audience needs to feel that you understand their goals, frustrations, and desires before they’ll take the next step.
One client had a massive audience but very low conversion. When we shifted her content from “here’s what I do” to “here’s how I help people like you,” her engagement became connection, and connection became sales. When your audience feels seen, they start seeing themselves in your solution.
Once you’ve created connection, attention still isn’t enough. It has to lead somewhere. Every piece of content, from stories and captions to every email, should move your audience one step closer to deciding whether to work with you. Sometimes they decide now isn’t the right time. Most people hang around because they’ll buy eventually. They’re waiting for you to tell them when and what to do.
One client had spent $50,000 with another agency and gotten zero return. She already had a large following, but intentional visibility can still be missing, and an ad isn’t going to fix that. We built her strategy around reach campaigns designed to warm up and re-engage her audience before ever saying “here’s what to buy.” Within 30 days, she saw a 365% increase in sales and 121% higher order value.
Conversion doesn’t happen just because you have followers or thousands of people watching your reels. It happens when people understand you and have a clear call to action.
Is the third C commitment or consistency? Judy and Greta admit they’ve gone back and forth (Greta’s heart is with commitment). They’re very much the same: committing to show up on a consistent basis. You can be consistent for a little while, but when you’re committed, you’re in it for the long run.
Your goal isn’t to be seen once. It’s to be remembered over time. You can’t build authority if you show up haphazardly. Trust compounds when you keep showing up, even when it feels like no one’s watching, like recording Unfiltered while traveling together at a conference.
For a long-term client, the ad account performs consistently because we refresh creative, test messaging, and stay committed to the strategy. Even during sales campaigns, we keep reach campaigns running that position her as a thought leader. From the outside, her value-driven content never disappears, so it never feels like “she’s only selling to me now.”
Commitment turns visibility into reputation, and reputation turns into consistent revenue.
Followers alone won’t convert. Visibility isn’t about being popular. It’s about being purposeful, and people can feel the difference. Connection creates trust, conversion gives your visibility a purpose, and commitment builds long-term authority.
Usually something is missing in connection (people don’t feel understood), conversion (there’s no clear next step), or commitment (you’re not showing up consistently over time).
Shift from “here’s what I do” to “here’s how I help people like you,” give every piece of content a purpose, and use one clear, consistent call to action.
At least three times a week on your key platforms, supplemented with stories. Consistency over time matters more than volume.
Connection to create trust, conversion to give your visibility a purpose, and commitment to build long-term authority.
