    Welcome Roland Frasier, the Co-Founder of Digital Marketer, inside the Greenroom! He is co-founder and/or principal of three of Inc. Magazine’s fastest-growing companies, and he has founded, scaled, or sold 24 different 7 to 9 figure businesses. He currently advises over 150 companies on digitally-centric customer acquisition, activation, referral, retention, revenue strategies, and implementation.

    In this episode, we discuss the power of scaling your business and how to build a company you can one day sell. We also discuss the power of offline events, and how to create your events so that they become an asset. As people become more and more disconnected from others by the digital world, they start to crave the element of human connection. Thus, Roland explains how the H2H (Human to Human) method is a far more powerful method of marketing communication than B2B. Meeting Planners, listen up as Roland unveils some of the biggest game-changers on how they grew from a couple of hundred attendees to 50x that in 5 years.

    PLUS: Insider tips on how to get hired as a speaker! Roland is a meeting planner for his own events and is always looking for new speakers. He’s hired speakers from Advance Your Reach, and he recommends our students to other meeting planners. Learn the best practices to win one of Roland’s amazing stages!

    5. Choosing your event Location: Go to the environment that has the people you want to work with

      How to grow your event from hundreds to multiple thousands!
