In this episode of Business Growth Hacks, hosts Andrew and John dive into insights from the High Level Summit and share invaluable lessons on why customers buy from brands they like. Featuring advice from marketing expert Billie Jean, the episode explores how small businesses can create genuine connections, showcase authenticity, and win customer loyalty. From getting comfortable on camera to incorporating storytelling, these strategies will help business owners stand out and foster trust, turning brand followers into devoted customers.
Key Points:
- [0:47] - The Likability Factor
Billie Jean shares a powerful insight: "If people don't like you, they won’t buy from you." Andrew and John break down why likability is essential for business success.
- [1:54] - Adding Personality to Content
Generic content often falls flat. Injecting your unique voice and story into your posts can create a stronger bond with customers.
- [3:24] - Building Trust Through Transparency
Show your real side to build trust. Share your brand’s journey, mission, and even its challenges to establish a genuine connection.
- [4:04] - Actionable Tips for Business Owners
Simple actions like showing your face on social media or responding personally to comments can make your brand more relatable and memorable.
- [7:15] - The Power of Value-Driven Content
Not every post should be a sales pitch. Share educational or entertaining content to create a sense of community around your brand.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
