Salt & Pepper Socials

The tools, exercises
and frameworks.
Free.

Consider this the tasting menu. Start with Sage for an instant flavour profile of your brand. Find out if the gap is trust, clarity or visibility. Or work through the exercises Sara uses in her workshops. Free either way.

Sage
Single piece of content

Content Flavour Read.

Pick one piece of content: a post, an article, a website page, an email. Paste it in with a line of context. Sage reads how well it builds trust, creates clarity and earns attention, then tells you exactly where it needs more seasoning.

What are we looking at?

The more of the actual content you share, the sharper the read. Paste the full copy if you can.

Who specifically is this piece for? Not your general audience. The one person you had in mind.

What did you want them to feel or do after reading it?

What is the thing you are most unsure about with this piece?

Do the work

The same exercises Sara runs in her workshops.

Each one produces a specific strategic output. Work through them on your own, then feed the outputs into Sage.

Salt S-01 45-60 min

ICP Deep Dive.

Know exactly who you are for.

Most ICPs describe demographics. This one maps the decision journey. Who your buyer is the moment they need you, what they are feeling, why they would choose you, and why they might not.

You produce:

  • A decision-stage ICP profile built around the buying trigger
  • The emotional state your buyer is in when they go looking
  • Your three strongest proof points against the real objection

Salt S-04 25-30 min

The Voice Filter.

Sound like yourself, consistently.

If someone removed your name from your content, would they know it was you? The Voice Filter defines the tonal standard that makes content recognisable. It also defines the not-words: the territory you must never cross into.

You produce:

  • A reference set of 4-6 owned words and phrases
  • A not-words list: the tone you must never slip into
  • Voice calibration examples across three content formats

Pepper P-03 35-45 min

The Awareness Ladder.

Meet your buyer where they are.

Your audience is not all at the same stage. Some do not know they have a problem. Some are actively comparing options. Selling to both groups with the same message means winning neither. The Awareness Ladder maps the journey and the message that moves each stage forward.

You produce:

  • A five-stage awareness map for your specific buyer
  • The message that moves someone from each stage to the next
  • A content gap analysis: which stages you are not yet covering

Spice SP-01 30-40 min

Channel Audit.

Go deep on fewer. Stop spreading thin.

Most people are on too many platforms for the wrong reasons. The Channel Audit forces a decision: where to go deep, where to stop, and what the gatekeeper on each platform actually needs from you to distribute your content beyond your existing audience.

You produce:

  • A channel decision: in, out, or reassign
  • The gatekeeper signal for each channel you keep
  • A 90-day posting floor that is a commitment, not an aspiration

These exercises produce the inputs Sage needs to run your full strategy. Not sure which to start with? Run the free Sage audit above and you will know which gap to fix first.

After the exercises

Done the work? Sage turns your outputs into a running system.

The exercises produce the strategy. Sage holds it, applies it, and keeps it running after Sara's work ends. Your ICP profile, Voice Filter, Awareness Ladder and Channel brief become the intelligence layer behind every piece of content you produce from here.
