Be honest – how organised is your voiceover business actually? 👀Because having a great voice is one thing. But running a business? That's a whole other skill set – and it's one a lot of us quietly struggle with.This month JD Gibson joins us, and he is not your average voice actor. Before the mic, he spent three decades as a computer programmer, systems consultant, and business advisor. He's built his own VO business from the ground up, figured out what works, and now loves helping other creatives do the same – without the overwhelm.We got into what a CRM actually is (and why it's not as complicated as it sounds), how to track your clients and work from research all the way through to a live job, and just how much you can automate when you're a one-person operation.We also talked about something close to our hearts on this show – why running your business properly matters just as much as developing your voice. It's easy to let the admin slide when you're focused on the craft. JD's been there, made the mistakes, and come back with the systems to prove it.Plus he shared some of the most common places voiceovers get stuck and gave us a few quick wins you can actually use now.If your business systems feels chaotic, this one's for you. 🎧Find out more about JD - https://gibsonvo.com--------------------------Panic room - Check out the blog Helen mentions in the Panic Room here.👋🏻 Your hosts are ⁠Rob Bee⁠ and ⁠Helen Bee⁠.📣 For more information about The Voiceover Social visit:– The Voiceover Social Website - https://thevosocial.com/– Subscribe to our newsletter⁠ - https://thevosocial.com/newsletter/– See which events are coming soon⁠ - https://thevosocial.com/events/– Find your closest VO Social group⁠ - https://thevosocial.com/socials/ 🌐 Find us online:- ⁠Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thevosocial- LinkedIn⁠ - https://www.linkedin.com/company/thevosocial 📣 About B Double E:Rob Bee and Helen Bee run B Double E - together we help voiceovers to be seen and heard.- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠B Double E website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - https://b-double-e.co.uk/- B Double E newsletter - https://b-double-e.co.uk/newsletter/- B Double E Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/b_2_es/Podcast sponsored by ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠B Double E and The Voicefinder⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Theme tune by Rob Bee.All audio production by Rob Bee.
