What’s New? What’s Next?

Ryan Walker Director of Product

THIS SESSION

Where we build from. How your way of working guides every decision we make.

Not a product demo

What's working. Honest look at what we've shipped and how it's landing.

Where we're headed. Near-term roadmap and why those bets matter.

Your role in it. You're not just customers. You shape what gets built next.

We're going to talk about how we think — and what that means for your business.

Hustle gets you started. Systems make you the hero.

That's what we're building toward. A platform that makes the business run even when you're not the one running it.

Scout AI Voice in.

Action out.

IN BETA

Say it out loud and Scout acts. It creates the contact, logs the note, flags the follow-up. No tapping through menus.

No typing on a roof.

New Insight: Admins Are Using Scout Too We designed Scout for field reps on the go. But we're seeing admins and office managers rely on it just as heavily, for quick lookups, record creation, and workflow checks.

The value isn't just mobile convenience. It's speed and simplicity, regardless of where you sit.

I don't need a new feature. I need the thing I already paid for to work faster.

Beyond the Algorithm: Owning Your Audience

Marc Hansen SVP of Marketing

Quick show of hands.

How many of you know exactly how many followers you have right now?

How many of you could tell me how many of those people you can reach directly without a platform in between?

You don’t own your social following.

Attention is rented.

A direct line is owned.

Build both, but know which one is yours.

Which channel is right for me?

01

What are you actually selling, or want to sell?

02

What does your audience come to you for?

03

What can you realistically sustain?

BEST FOR:

Selling courses, product, services

Email / Newsletter

●

They opted in to hear from you. Not whoever the algorithm served them today.

●

People are protective of their inboxes now. That opt-in is a different kind of trust than a follow.

●

It’s a steady converter.

●

Your first 30 days

● ●

●

Pick a platform: Mailchimp, Kit, Beehiiv, Substack.

Write a welcome email. Who you are, what you send, how often.

Put your signup link in every bio you have. Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, everywhere.

Brainstorm content topics.

BEST FOR:

High-touch moments: Launches, urgency, exclusives

SMS

●

Most text messages are read within 3 minutes.

●

The bar to earn a phone number is higher.

●

Over use it and they’re gone fast.

Your first 30 days

●

●

Before you collect a single number, define exactly what you'll use SMS for.

Be specific about what people are signing up for.

BEST FOR:

Building loyalty that doesn’t depend on you being everywhere all of the time

Community

●

People go to your community to connect, not just hear from you.

●

A strong community is tough to build, but they are usually your most loyal.

●

Direct path to paid membership model.

●

Your first 30 days

●

●

Set the culture before anything else. Model the kind of interaction you want to see.

Give people something to respond to on day one. An empty community loses momentum fast.

Test with a small audience first.

BEST FOR:

Blog or long-form content

Building authority in a specific niche over the long term ●

Content that answers a real question keeps getting found. A post you wrote two years ago can still bring in new readers today.

●

Social content reaches people when they're scrolling. Long-form reaches people when they're searching. Different intent, different relationship.

●

Your first 30 days

●

●

Write the post that answers the question you get asked most.

That's post one.

When you publish, treat it like a launch. Share it everywhere you're already active.

Write the second post before you look at the analytics on the first.

Why this matters beyond owned audience growth

AEO- Answer Engine Optimization

●

AI tools (Perplexity, ChatGPT, Google's AI Overviews) pull from content they consider authoritative and original.

●

Owned channels with consistent, substantive content in a specific niche are exactly what those systems are looking for.

●

This isn't about gaming a new algorithm. It's about the same thing it's always been: being the most credible, consistent voice in your space.

What Your Owned Audience Actually Makes Possible

You can reach your audience when it actually matters.

Your partnership conversations change.

You have more data behind who sees what you create.

Great, but how?

3 Steps to moving your social audience to somewhere you own

Exclusive Resources

Repetition

The WHY

Give them something they can only get by subscribing.

Put your link everywhere.

Tell them what they’ll get and why they need it

WHAT THIS LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE

Example: EXAMPLE

A roofing consultant with 28k Instagram followers.

Owned channel:

Monthly email newsletter. One topic under 400 words.

List size:

2,200 subscribers built over 18 months from a free guide offered in bio.

Open rate:

41%. Well above industry average because the audience is specific and opted in for a reason.

What it produces:

Two inbound consulting inquiries per month on average. Three brand partnership conversations per month.

Time investment:

Two to three hours per week. One piece of content that goes out reliably, every week.

THE OWNED CHANNEL TOOLKIT

You don't need all of these.

Pick one. Commit to it.

Email

SMS

Community

Blog / SEO

ACTIVITY — YOUR AUDIENCE AUDIT

4 minute writing activity PART 1

Where are you sending people after they find you on social? Is there a next step, or does the relationship just stop there? Write down what that bridge looks like today, and what you wish it looked like.

PART 2

Write one sentence describing the person you most want in your owned audience. Who are they, what do they care about, and why would they give you their email address or phone number?

The best time to start building is now.
