    This week we dive into community events and figure out what events might be the best option for your company to be a part of, or even for your company to create and host.

  • Consistency is Key for Content

    Send a text

    The irony is not lost on me that the podcast I am recording late in the week is about consistency.

    When it comes to content, consistency is not just about how often you post. It is about HOW you post, WHAT you post, and WHERE you post. From your blog, to social media, to even paid commercials on television or radio, having consistent themes to your content is VITAL!

  • “If I Show Them, They Won’t Hire Me”

    Send a text

    This week’s episode comes from an email I received asking if it is a smart move to have our in person live community events showing attendees the materials, traps, and tools we use. The emailer was worried that if I shared too much, what would prevent the viewer/attendee from just doing it themselves 

    So we talk about the seminars we host, how we create them, execute them, and use them to add new clients and more revenue to our ledger EVERY MONTH for little to no investment.

  • The BEST traps to buy

    It’s a common question posted in the online groups and forums by new operators, “What trap should I buy starting out?”.

  • Are subcontractors the right choice?

    Many wildlife operators struggle in the early years of their businesses with scaling and being able to “be all places at all times”. One answer to staffing a production related stressors can be the implementation of subcontractors in your labor pool.

    Join us on this episode as we share with you how implementation of roofing, insulation, landscaping, and power washing subcontractors has allowed us growth with less liability and overhead than conventional staffing.
