Episode #9

I remember when I was getting started in the self-employed, business owner world, two of the main motivators for me were:

1. To earn money with less time invested from my side.
2. To have more spare and free time. 

Yes obviously those to things are very closely related but having more money and having more time were the two main things. Actually, now I am thinking of it, it was not necessarily to have MORE money back then. 

Replacing my salary was the goal for me. Having the same amount of money in my own business as what I did from my employer was what I had in my mind as the goal. 

However, when I started working for myself none of those wishes were granted and I found myself in a place where most business owners live. 

I was probably lucky somewhat to get out of it, but now let me tell you in this episode how I did it. 

Press *play* right now and listen in.

Episode #8

I’m going to go over this more in my web class so if this is making sense to you and if you want more click here and see when the next class is happening and you can get a free ticket there. I’ll be going deeper on this and more in that class. 

I remember the more I made sure I was sticking to a marketing plan that had all the main things kicked off, the better results I got.

The first big win I had that really secured my businesses future was a result of me saying “ok! That’s it! I’m sticking to this list, I’m not going to leave anything out and I’m not going to ignore any of it…”.

That’s what saved me from having to go back to the corporate world. 

Anyway, for the full story click *Play* and listen to the episode here now.

Episode #6

I’ll share a quick case study with you here on this episode, it’s a big eye opener that’s for sure. 

EVERY BUSINESS OWNER NEEDS TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!

I heard this case study a couple of years ago, but I’ve seen and heard other versions of it too. The facts repeat themselves time and time again.

Episode #5

In the last episode I outlined the Customer Mountain Map, if you haven’t already, go back and to the previous episode (#4) and listen to that either before or right after this one (before would be better). 

-

Now you know the basics I wanted to tell you the truth about a whole range of things that you’ve probably come across and fought with during your time as a business owner.

A lot of these, not everyone will agree with - and that’s fine by me. 

My focus is always on getting customers the right way and the best way. 

If something is popular but does not perform better than what I'm already doing, I'm not going to make it a permanent part of my business. 

I'll try things out often, like any good marketer should. 

Take chatbots for example. They were the hype of 2017-2018 but I knew they wouldn't last and they didn't. 

This is Episode #5. If you haven't listened to Episode #4 yet, go back one episode and listen to that first...because it will set the tone for this episode. 

Either way, press play on either and enjoy.

Episode #4

This is it! Episode 4 of the CraigMarty.com Podcast ready to stream and listen! 

You'll be finished listening to this episode in about 30 minutes (or sooner if you listen to podcasts on 1.5x speed like I do). 

However, this powerful 30 minute episode took me 15 years to record. 

You're about to hear the marketing strategy that I use for my business and for my clients businesses too, it's called The Customer Mountain Map. 

WARNING:

The only "failure" with this is that to some people it can sound too simple so they look for ways to over complicate it and by doing so...they break one of the 4 "checkpoints" in the map and break the overall process and flow that should happen. 

Like I said, there are 15 years compressed into this customer winning map and I continue to now (in my 16th year in the marketing world) to look for different angles and different lenses I can look at this through to continue to mature the map. 

There is not a "strategy" or "tactic" that is not baked into this map somewhere - even if it's hidden from view. 

TAP play and have a close and slow listen to this episode now.

HINT: corporate world. 

It's actually a great story that has two endings...

1. When my corporate career ended abruptly. 

2. When my struggling time as a business owner finally started to work at the 11th hour... without another dollar or day to spare!

Episode #2

On this episode of the CraigMarty.com Podcast I tell the story of the moment I realised that using the internet to make sales and earn money was a real thing. 

But we will quickly start talking about WHY it's not easy to learn how to actually do it! (internet marketing and 'marketing' in general that is). 

There's a shocking number that will clearly point out what the problem is and why it's hard for small business owners and people wanting to learn how to do marketing, digital marketing and to get more sales for their businesses and so on.

You will also hear more about the path I've put my business on now, what I'm focused on and why too. 

This is only episode #2 but like I think I said in episode #1, I don't do fluff and waste time talking about stuff that simply isn't important just to fill space. 

Listen to episode #2 and episode #3 to and get a good taste of the stuff I'm going to talk about and cover. 

Press play now, listen in and I'll talk with you on the inside!

Episode #1 

Welcome to the CraigMarty.com Podcast. This is the first episode so I'm here to tell you what you expect to get from this podcast every week. 

I spent years learning about marketing, business, getting sales, digital marketing and most important of all....marketing strategy. 

These are some of the main topics you'll be hearing about in future episodes of the podcast, along with my own stories and experiences from every day life as a dad, husband and business owner.

BUT BEWARE! I don't like hype... You won't hearing me screaming into the microphone trying to get you excited about the new (probably doomed to fail) tech gadget that is going to "change business forever!".

However, I do use and encourage todays tools and tricks (as long as I actually use them and know they are worth your time and investment!)

Listen in to the first few episodes for a good understanding of WHO I am and WHAT the CraigMarty.com Podcast is all about. 

I dive into what's important and what's garbage when it comes to attracting customers and winning them too very quickly.

So... play this episode now and I'll be talking with you on the inside.
