Should you position your agency within a specific niche? The decision you make now could shape its future for years to come. Our next guest took the leap and decided to niche down into the home services industry, transforming their business in the process. Join us on The Vertical Go-To-Market Podcast as we dive into the inspiring journey of Ben Landers, founder and former CEO of Blue Corona, a highly successful digital marketing agency specialized in the home services vertical. In this episode, we'll take you back to the early days of Blue Corona, where Ben's expertise in digital marketing and advertising laid the foundation for groundbreaking tracking software. Initially, he wondered whether focusing on a niche would pay off in growing his business. But instead of remaining indecisive, Ben fearlessly evolved his software offering into a full-fledged marketing agency, concentrating on home services companies, which led to remarkable sales and online prominence. You'll also get to know the driving force behind Blue Corona's transformation, Mike Wilson, who significantly impacted sales and marketing strategy, fueling their increased profitability and unrivalled success. The turning point came when Blue Corona committed to their specific vertical, home services, propelling them into an 8-figure powerhouse that caught the attention of potential acquirers. And from there, their destiny was forever changed. Ben shares invaluable advice for fellow agency owners seeking growth throughout the conversation. One piece of advice, in particular, is relevant to agencies at any growth stage. His "less is more" philosophy allowed the Blue Corona team to narrow their focus and start working on what truly mattered within the business. By following the 80/20 productivity rule and understanding their profitability per client, these initiatives became Blue Corona's guiding compass to success. Join Corey and Ben on Vertical Go-To-Market as they discuss: How Blue Corona started as an ad tracking and reporting company. Transitioning to offer marketing services based on client needs. The difficult decision to focus on a specific vertical in the home service niche and why it accelerated the agency's growth. How aligning marketing/sales teams can make a difference within your agency. Obstacles and lessons in service delivery and product development. Encouraging advice for agency owners considering specialization. Actionable Key Takeaways for Agency Founders: Consider focusing on a specific industry, which can lead to faster growth and better customer satisfaction. Emphasize understanding the mindset of small business owners in account-facing roles. Utilize technology to deliver and differentiate services rather than selling it as a separate product.

How do you know your business marketing is working? Ben Landers of Blue Corona talks with the ACHR NEWS to explain how big data can help HVAC contractors find out.

Can you successfully build a company within a company?      On this episode of the Blackletter podcast, Tom Dunlap chats with Ben Landers about the unique founding of his company Blue Corona. Originally in Corporate America, Ben thought he'd be working for large companies forever. Then, the dot com era fell apart, and Ben found his way into small business, particularly a coffee company.

Ben Landers is the President and CEO of Blue Corona, a data-driven marketing and analytics company. Ben has been building, growing, and leading the Blue Corona team for over 10 years, landing them on the Inc. 5000 list nine times. Blue Corona is an industry leader, helping home service companies grow through measurable marketing solutions that increase sales, reduce costs, and differentiate brands online.  Ben is a Houzz Certified Marketing Consultant. Before Blue Corona, he was the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for DrinkMore Water, the Regional Sales Manager for Windy City Publishing, and an Account Executive for WorldCom/MCI and HotJobs.com. In this episode… How can your business take advantage of the many resources available in your industry? When should you keep your services in-house, and when should you outsource?  According to Ben Landers, small businesses often need to outsource work; that way, the team can stay in their zone of genius. In Ben's field, most small business owners don't accurately track their advertising and marketing campaigns. It can be difficult to afford in-house marketing — especially when your employees already wear many hats. That's why it's Ben's mission to provide service companies with cost-effective, outsourced marketing efforts.  In this episode of Watching Paint Dry, Greg Owens and Katrina Stephenson sit down with Ben Landers, President and CEO of Blue Corona, to talk about hiring and learning from other companies. Ben discusses Blue Corona's services, outsourcing versus in-house work, and the lessons he learned from mentors along his journey. Ben and Greg also talk about the organizations they're a part of and how they support industry leaders and business owners. Stay tuned!
