We recently connected with Garri Davis and have shared our conversation below.

Garri, appreciate you joining us today. What do you think matters most in terms of achieving success?

1. **Deep Industry Knowledge and Experience:** A successful business coach possesses a strong understanding of various business domains, stays updated with market trends, and commits to continuous learning to address the evolving challenges in the business world.

2. **Exceptional Interpersonal Skills and EQ:** This involves active listening, empathy, and the ability to communicate ideas clearly. A coach must be attuned to the emotional and psychological needs of their clients while providing balanced, tailored advice.

3. **Results-Oriented Approach and Accountability:** A successful coach emphasizes clear goal-setting, regular feedback, and holds clients accountable to ensure measurable progress and tangible outcomes.

Garri, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

Growing up in Cincinnati, the bustling world of business always captivated me. The local entrepreneurs, their challenges and triumphs, deeply inspired me. As a young girl, observing my community’s business landscape, I realized that many aspiring female entrepreneurs hesitated to take the lead, not because they lacked vision or capability, but often because they lacked the necessary guidance and confidence.

My academic journey, from Walnut Hills High School to Wilberforce University and Indiana Wesleyan University, always carried an undercurrent of this realization. It was during my time at Wilberforce that I decided to bridge this gap, to become the guiding force for these talented women. That’s how the seed of becoming a business coach was sown.

At The Garri Davis Agency, we do more than just coaching. We dive deep into the very core of a business, understanding its nuances and challenges. From helping businesses streamline their strategy to addressing intricate issues, we provide tailored solutions that ensure growth and sustainability. My team and I specialize in helping female business owners navigate the oftentimes challenging entrepreneurial waters, empowering them to overcome obstacles and thrive.

What truly distinguishes me and my brand from others is our core philosophy: empowerment. We don’t just offer business solutions; we build confidence, foster resilience, and ignite the passion within. Our collaboration, LeadH.E.R. Events, is a testament to this. These events aren’t just about business insights; they’re about personal growth, leadership, and building a community.

Of all my achievements, “CEO in Stilettos” remains close to my heart. The book isn’t just a guide; it’s a reflection of my journey, the challenges I faced, the lessons I learned, and my vision for every aspiring female entrepreneur.

To all potential clients and followers: The Garri Davis Agency is more than just a coaching agency. It’s a movement, a community. When you collaborate with us, you don’t just gain a mentor; you gain a lifelong ally, cheerleader, and guide.

Can you tell us about what’s worked well for you in terms of growing your clientele?

Understanding and effectively engaging with my audience has always been my top priority when aiming to expand my clientele. I start by investing in thorough market research, ensuring I know the demographics, preferences, and pain points of my potential audience. Offering top-tier products or services is at the heart of my business ethos. I believe that nothing grows a business better than recommendations from satisfied customers. Embracing the digital age, I actively use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter. By sharing valuable content, promoting special offers, and showcasing testimonials on these platforms, I feel a genuine connection with my potential clients.

I’ve always seen the value in content marketing, whether through in-depth blogs, videos, or podcasts, further positioning myself as an industry expert. I actively encourage my existing clients to refer others through my referral programs, which has been a significant game-changer for me. Strategic collaborations with complementary businesses have also opened my services to new audiences. I’ve learned that in today’s competitive market, genuine testimonials can make a world of difference. Displaying positive feedback from clients has been instrumental in building trust and persuading potential customers to choose my services.

On the technical side, I’ve embraced techniques like email marketing, ensuring I remain compliant while keeping my audience engaged and informed. I’ve also seen the benefits of paid advertising, be it through pay-per-click campaigns, social media promotions, or traditional methods. Making sure I’m prominently featured in search results through SEO has been another key to attracting new clients. From time to time, I offer promotions or discounts, which often provides that little push hesitant clients might need. Engaging with the community by hosting workshops or sponsoring local events has not only allowed me to showcase my expertise but has also deepened my bond with the audience. Finally, I pride myself on delivering impeccable customer service. By focusing on each client’s satisfaction and addressing their concerns promptly, I’m confident in my continued growth.

Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?

Staying in touch with my clients is crucial for my business, and fostering brand loyalty is at the core of my long-term strategy. First and foremost, I make it a point to actively listen to my clients. By understanding their needs, concerns, and feedback, I can tailor my services and products more effectively.

I’ve integrated email newsletters into my communication strategy, ensuring that I’m not just pushing sales but also providing value. Whether it’s sharing industry insights, offering exclusive discounts, or simply sending out a personalized thank-you note, I believe in making each email count.

Social media has also been an instrumental tool for me. By consistently engaging with clients on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, I’m not just promoting my brand but also building a community. I make it a point to respond to comments, direct messages, and even share user-generated content, making my clients feel seen and valued.

Events, whether virtual webinars or in-person gatherings, have allowed me to create a more intimate connection. By hosting these events, I not only showcase my expertise but also give my clients a platform to engage, ask questions, and feel more connected to my brand.

Loyalty programs have been a game-changer for me. By rewarding repeat clients with exclusive offers or early access to new products, I ensure they feel appreciated for their continued support.

Lastly, I always seek feedback. Whether through surveys or direct conversations, understanding what my clients love and where I can improve has been instrumental in ensuring they stay loyal to my brand. Remembering that loyalty is a two-way street, I constantly strive to give back as much as I receive.
