If you don’t know Kimra yet, I’m guessing you’re gonna start hearing a lot about her because what she’s created with her business in a very short amount of time is remarkable.I’ve gotten to know Kimra a bit over the last few months. I first met her in December at a mastermind that my good friend James Wedmore hosted up in Laguna Beach.We geeked out about Facebook ads and she began telling me her strategy for how she uses them to grow her business. We get into that strategy today.Kimra just finished up a launch of her flagship program called Be True Brand You where she did over $720,000 in sales while spending about $13,000 in Facebook ads.She’s got an inspiring story which you’re going to hear about today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
