Today's episode sees me chatting with Jay Baer of Convince and Convert. Jay has been working in digital since 1993 - tune in to hear a story about the sweet deal he made with Anheuser-Busch over ownership of Budweiser.com.

 

Jay's agency is built up of 3 parts: a content strategy firm, a media & sponsorship company, and a paid public speaking business. It's not your typical agency as it focuses on strategy only, as opposed to execution.

 

Did I mention Jay is a Hall of Fame speaker? Super interesting guy, tons of value in this episode. Especially for agencies wanting to go upmarket to do higher-level strategy work as opposed to just execution.

This week I had the pleasure of chatting with Brian Burns, host of a network of podcasts, including The Brutal Truth About Sales & Selling podcast and the B2B Revenue Leadership podcast.

 

Brian worked in software enterprise sales for 25 years before going out on his own. Today, he's built up such a stellar podcast following that he's able to work full-time on creating value through podcast content.

 

In this episode, we discuss the complex sale and how to sell to bigger companies. If you're stuck in your comfort zone and only selling to SMBs, tune in to hear Brian's advice on how to level up and what to expect when selling to bigger companies.

This week I had a chat with Kean Graham of MonetizeMore, a large ad tech company with over 140 remote workers living all over the world.

 

MonetizeMore serves a really unique niche in the publishing industry. They help publishers with ad monetization through the use of tech and proprietary manual optimization techniques. Tune in to hear the story of how the company grew and how they successfully niched-down. I think you'll find a ton of value in this episode.

On today's episode I chat with Alyssa Patzius, COO of Influencer & Co., a content marketing agency based in Columbia, Missouri (near where I grew up!) Influencer & Co. connects the dots between earned media PR and your on-site content so you can build an entire cohesive inbound funnel with tangible ROI.

 

This is a great episode for anyone interested in learning more about scaling from a small local business to a large global agency with team members all over the world. Tune in to hear how Influencer and Co. structures their content and sales procedures. I got tons of value from our conversation and I'm sure you will too!
