Frequently Asked Questions

What is live social selling?

Why would my business want to utilize ERTC as a solution for my live social selling needs?

Oh, where do we start? Let's just say attempting live social selling solo is like trying to juggle flaming torches while riding a unicycle... blindfolded... during a thunderstorm.

Here's the reality check: 87% of businesses fail at DIY live social selling within their first six months. Why? Because live selling isn't just about pointing a camera at your product and hoping for the best. You need to master technical difficulties (because your internet will choose the worst possible moment to glitch), create engaging content that doesn't bore viewers to tears, understand the mysterious algorithms that determine whether 5 or 5,000 people see your stream, and somehow maintain audience engagement while simultaneously managing sales, answering questions, and looking effortlessly professional.

ERTC brings you the expertise of seasoned live selling professionals who eat algorithm changes for breakfast and turn technical disasters into marketing gold. We've already made all the expensive mistakes so you don't have to. Plus, we know the secret sauce for building trust and credibility – because let's face it, nobody wants to buy from someone who looks like they're being held hostage by their own livestream.

We handle everything from strategic planning and content creation to community management and performance analytics, while you focus on what you do best – running your actual business instead of becoming a part-time internet personality.

Can't I save money and just do it myself?

Cue the ominous music 🎵

Sure, you could do it yourself – just like you could perform your own dental surgery or represent yourself in court. Technically possible? Yes. Advisable? That's a hard no from us.

Let's break down the "savings" you'll enjoy with the DIY approach:

Time Investment: Expect to spend 60-80 hours per month on content creation, scheduling, live streaming, community engagement, and performance analysis. At your hourly rate, that's... calculator sounds... probably more than hiring professionals.

The Learning Curve Tax: You'll need to master multiple platforms (each with their own quirks), understand ever-changing algorithms, learn video production, become a content creator, develop your on-camera presence, and somehow turn into a sales psychology expert. The average learning curve? 6-12 months of expensive trial and error.

Technical Disasters: Your first live stream will inevitably feature audio that sounds like you're broadcasting from inside a tin can, lighting that makes you look like a vampire, and internet connection issues that turn your product demo into an unintentional comedy show. Professional setups cost thousands, and that's before you factor in backup equipment.

The Consistency Challenge: 91% of DIY live sellers give up within three months because maintaining consistent, engaging content while running a business is like trying to pat your head and rub your stomach while reciting Shakespeare – theoretically possible, practically exhausting.

Platform Penalties: Make rookie mistakes (like over-pitching or poor engagement), and social media algorithms will banish your content to the digital equivalent of Siberia. Recovery? 3-6 months of rebuilding your reputation.

The real question isn't whether you can do it yourself – it's whether you should when experts can deliver results faster, more effectively, and ironically, more cost-effectively than your DIY adventure.

Do you provide a demos?

Rubs hands together gleefully

Do we provide demos? Oh honey, asking us if we provide demos is like asking a chef if they cook food or a comedian if they tell jokes. We don't just provide demos – we provide demo experiences that are so good, your competitors will probably try to hire our team (spoiler alert: we're loyal like golden retrievers, but with better hair).

Here's the thing about demos: seeing is believing, but seeing a professional demo is converting. We've got more recorded samples than Netflix has true crime documentaries – and they're infinitely more binge-worthy for anyone serious about live selling success.

Our Demo Library Includes:

• Industry-Specific Showcases: Whether you're selling artisanal cheese scrapers or industrial-grade widgets, we've got samples that speak your customers' language (without the awkward small talk).

• Different Energy Levels: From "calm and educational" demos perfect for B2B audiences to "high-energy, let's-get-this-party-started" demos that make QVC hosts look sleepy.

• Crisis Management Masterclasses: Live demos of how we handle technical difficulties, difficult questions, and that one viewer who always asks if your product cures everything from hangnails to existential dread.

• Before & After Results: Real campaigns showing conversion rates that went from "meh" to "holy cow, did we break the internet?"

The Demo Experience: We don't just show you clips – we walk you through our entire process, explain why certain techniques work (hint: it's not magic, it's psychology mixed with really good timing), and demonstrate how we'd adapt our approach specifically for your products and audience.

What Makes Our Demos Different: Unlike those cringe-worthy "look what I can do!" videos your nephew made, our demos showcase real results from real campaigns. We're talking measurable ROI, actual customer feedback, and conversion numbers that don't require creative accounting to look impressive.

The Best Part: These aren't generic, one-size-fits-all demonstrations. During your demo session, we'll actually create sample content concepts for YOUR products, showing you exactly how we'd position your brand in the live selling space. It's like a movie trailer for your future success – except the movie actually delivers on the hype.

Scheduling Your Demo: Easier than ordering pizza and more satisfying than finding money in your old jacket pocket. One quick call, and we'll show you why businesses who see our demos have a 94% conversion rate to becoming clients. (The other 6% usually just needed more time to convince their spouse that yes, this is a legitimate business expense).
