If You Had $50K to Grow Your Business, Where Would You Spend It?

If someone handed you $50,000 to grow your company today… where would you put it?

Paid ads? SEO? Cold outbound? Sponsorships?

In this episode of Entry & Exit, Stephen Olmon and Collin Trimble (Alarm Masters, Texas) break down exactly how they’d deploy a fresh $50K in a security, alarm, fire, or life safety business — and why they don’t fully agree.

They cover:

  • When paid ads are the fastest way to make the phone ring
  • Why SEO is a long-term asset (not a quick fix)
  • How outbound still drives commercial growth
  • The importance of attribution, CRM tracking, and real ROI math
  • The biggest mistakes owners make when hiring agencies

If you run a security, fire alarm, or home service company and want predictable lead flow without lighting money on fire, this episode gives you a practical framework to test, measure, and scale what works.
