  • The Latest Marketing Strategies: Insights from Mike Gleba

    Key Takeaways:

    Building a successful customer acquisition funnel requires a well-rounded approach, including top-of-funnel awareness, middle-of-funnel engagement, and bottom-of-funnel conversion.
    Many businesses make the mistake of focusing solely on customer acquisition without considering the importance of upselling and nurturing relationships with existing customers.
    Utilizing AI technology in marketing can provide significant advantages, such as anonymous email retargeting and personalized direct mail campaigns.
    The Importance of a Full Funnel Approach:
    In today's rapidly changing marketing landscape, it's crucial for businesses to adopt a full funnel approach to customer acquisition. This means focusing not only on top-of-funnel awareness but also on middle-of-funnel engagement and bottom-of-funnel conversion. Josh and Mike discuss the common mistakes businesses make when it comes to building their customer acquisition funnels.
    Mike shares an example of a skincare coach who was successful in customer acquisition but lacked a back-end offering. This resulted in a decline in profitability as the cost of acquisition increased. On the other hand, Josh highlights his own experience of focusing primarily on high-end programs, neglecting the need for lower-priced products to attract a wider range of customers.
    To address these issues, businesses should consider offering a variety of products and programs at different price points to cater to different customer segments. This allows customers to enter the business at their comfort level and gradually move up the ladder as they build trust and confidence in the brand.
    Leveraging AI in Marketing:
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the marketing industry, offering new opportunities for businesses to streamline their processes and improve customer experiences. Mike and Josh discuss the potential of AI in marketing and how it can be utilized to enhance various aspects of a business.
    One AI tool that Mike recommends is OpenSend, which enables anonymous email retargeting. This tool captures the email addresses of website visitors who did not provide their contact information and allows businesses to send targeted emails to these individuals. While this approach may seem aggressive, it can be effective in converting potential customers who have shown interest in a product or service.
    Another AI tool discussed is PostPilot, which leverages direct mail to engage with customers. This tool can send personalized postcards to website visitors, even if they did not provide their contact information. By combining digital and physical marketing channels, businesses can stand out in a crowded marketplace and increase their chances of conversion.
    Embracing the Future of Marketing:
    As AI continues to advance, businesses must adapt and embrace these technologies to stay competitive. While there may be concerns about the impact of AI on jobs and authenticity, it is essential to recognize the potential benefits it can bring to marketing strategies.
    By leveraging AI tools like OpenSend and PostPilot, businesses can enhance their customer acquisition efforts and provide personalized experiences to potential customers. However, it is crucial to strike a balance between automation and human touch, ensuring that customers still feel valued and connected to the brand.
    In conclusion, building a successful customer acquisition funnel requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses all stages of the customer journey. By offering a range of products and programs, leveraging AI technologies, and maintaining a human touch, businesses can optimize their marketing strategies and drive long-term success.

        7. 383: 4 Traits That Accelerate Success in Life and Your Business with Caleb Johnson

          Most people will face personal and professional challenges at some point in their life. Whether it’s an addiction, cancer, or even just bad luck, everyone has a story that isn’t always told or known. And today, we’re focusing on 4 traits that successful people all seem to have that have helped them not only survive but emerge on the other side with incredible careers and success.

          My guest today is Caleb Johnson. He’s been an entrepreneur since he was 18; he’s done five real estate multifamily syndications and is now a full-time real estate investor and business owner. He’s also the host of From Trial to Triumph podcast, where he talks to people about the challenging times they’ve faced in life.

          With that in mind, Caleb joins me today for a wonderful conversation about the four traits that accelerate success in life and business: responsibility to others, giving, making decisions, and never quitting. If you’re ready to make these traits your own–and find out how others have used them to make it through extraordinary circumstances–this episode is for you. 

          Key Takeaways with Caleb Johnson

          • How Caleb went from being “sick and tired of being sick and tired” as an antisocial, troubled teen to finding joy and inspiration in life. 
          • Why most successful entrepreneurs have been through some form of hell on earth to get to where they are now. 
          • Why these four characteristics define so many people who survive challenges and emerge successful and triumphant on the other side. 
          • The power of living in triumph and happiness and joy–no matter your circumstances.
          • The dangers of settling for the comforts of the unknown when you need to push your life forward.

        8. 382: Big Reasons to Be Bullish About Multifamily Real Estate with Neal Bawa

          In 2020, we were afraid to go anywhere. 2021 turned into the greatest year for real estate of all time. In 2022, we watched interest rates spiral out of control and dramatically shift the market, and we’re now living in the wake of these major shifts, both positive and negative.

          So, what can we expect moving forward? To help answer that question, I’m talking to Neal Bawa. Neal is the founder of UGro and Grocapitus and known as the Mad Scientist of Multifamily with a $1B real estate portfolio and over 900 investors. Based in the Bay Area, he uses cutting edge analytics and tech tools to give himself–and his students–a powerful edge in the world of multifamily investing.

          In today’s conversation, Neal and I talk about why we’re all better off buying properties now than we were 18 months ago, why this may be our best opportunity to buy since 2009, and what the future holds for our industry.

          Key Takeaways with Neal Bawa

          • Why Neal is still extremely bullish about multifamily.
          • How to frame today’s market as a winning opportunity for your prospective investors and limited partners. 
          • Why syndicators should be worried about overpaying–and why now’s a great time to invest in investor education.
          • What to expect in 2024, why so many syndicators are going to be out of business a year from now, and how to do your best to not become one of them.
