Brian Kurtz has been in direct response marketing for close to four decades. He's learned from the best and is the best when it comes to understanding, and implementing, marketing that gets your  prospect to buy, subscribe, share and use the products and services you are are selling. Direct marketing is not a dirty word and Brian says we all need to embrace our products and services and share them with the right people. We must "Overdeliver" if we want to make a difference for our clients and our prospective clients. On this episode Brian shares why a list isn't just a list and how you can turn a compiled list into a response list. He also shares why the long game is more important than the short game and what the Lifetime Value of a client means to your bottom line. Listen to the end and find out how you can win a copy of his latest book, Overdeliver. Brian Kurtz has been a serial direct marketer for almost 40 years and never met a medium he didn't like...and while he's had much success, he also must admit that trying to sell subscriptions and books on the back of ATM receipts and under yogurt lids was only "a good idea at the time..." Brian left his beloved Boardroom in January of 2015. Over 34 years he was responsible for the mailing of close to 2 billion pieces of direct mail in his career (and he did NOT lick every stamp!); and he was also responsible for the distribution of millions of other impressions and promotions in a wide variety of alternate media, both offline and online, using the most innovative direct marketing techniques while working with the most legendary copywriters and consultants who have ever lived. Under Brian's marketing leadership and during his tenure, Boardroom’s revenues went from approximately $5 million (in 1981) to a high of over $150 million (in 2006). Brian was instrumental in building Boardroom’s print and electronic newsletters, including Bottom Line/Personal, Bottom Line/Health, Bottom Line Secrets and Daily Health News. And he was also responsible for selling tens of millions of books, mostly in the categories of health and finance, for consumers. His mission for the next 40 years (as the Founder of “Titans Marketing”), is to be the bridge between the eternal truths of direct response marketing and all that is considered state-of-the-art direct response marketing today. And to make sure everyone he works with understands the complexities and the need to be multi-channel. Brian writes and speaks regularly; recent content can be found at www.briankurtz.me and www.briankurtz.me/blog. His first book, The Advertising Solution, was released in October of 2017. His second book, Overdeliver: Build a Business for a Lifetime Playing the Long Game in Direct Response Marketing will be released in April of 2019. But truth be told, Brian is really just a Little League Baseball Umpire and does this direct marketing stuff on the side. His ultimate goal is to umpire in the Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA while he is still upright...and he hopes it happens soon. www.OverdeliverBook.com

Brian Kurtz is the founder of Titan Marketing, an educational consulting business that teaches direct response marketing to online marketers. Brain started in the list business which gave him a solid foundation in learning about audiences, demographics and database marketing. Brian helped Boardroom, Inc. create tens of millions in revenue from mastering the skill of direct response marketing.   Brian has been able to market and sell huge numbers of newsletters and books via direct response television (infomercials) and email/internet. He has overseen the mailing of approximately 1.3 billion pieces of third class mail over the last 20 years. He has been responsible for buying media in excess of $80 Million and selling over 3 million books via direct response television over a three year period.  Going into full-time business   Brian worked for Board Room, Inc. for thirty four years as a partner in the business with an equity position, and so never felt like he was working for his employer. He says he considers himself an intrapreneur rather than an entrepreneur because even though he didn't participate in starting the company, when he became partner, he came up with a lot of innovative growth ideas that contributed to the company's continuous success. Working there honed his entrepreneurial talents.  After his employer passed away, Brian left the company to start a direct marketing educational business through which he could share what he learnt at Board Room, Inc. about direct marketing. It's been two years now, as of 2017, since he started the business.   So far, within the two years, he has created two high-level mastermind groups for entrepreneurs, marketers, and copy writers. He has written a book; created different products; republished books by other classic direct marketers and copy writers; and he does a lot of public speaking internationally.  Core revenue streams  He generates revenue from the mastermind groups, the products that he sells and his speaking engagements. He also does a lot of consulting for different clients. He says he doesn't prefer the consulting work because it's not as scalable as the other revenue sources he engages in.      Board Room, Inc.  Brian says Board Room mostly sold books and newsletters (magazines without advertising) directly to consumers and most of the books that were the biggest sellers were the health-related ones. Books on personal finance, investments, and consumer information also did very well. They had a big newsletter called Bottom Line Personal which was the largest broad-based consumer newsletter in terms of circulation in the US. At some point it had 1 million subscribers and Brian estimates that it now has around 300,000 subscribers. There were years where they sold up to 3 million books a year through direct mail, the internet, e-newsletters, affiliates, radio, inserts, and TV.  Brian says he prefers to work with companies that are willing to use multiple channels to sell their products. He even owns a url called http://www.singlechannelmarketingissoboring.com/ (http://www.singlechannelmarketingissoboring.com) which directs people to his regular website, http://www.briankurtz.me/ (http://www.briankurtz.me). He says he bought that url so he could talk about it wherever he speaks in order to emphasize how dangerous single channel marketing is.  Tip: Using one medium of marketing is very dangerous. Make sure you do multi-channel marketing  Transition from Board Room, Inc. into self-employment  He says it's been better than he expected despite some challenges. The most challenging part of the business is the consulting service he offers because he can't be as deeply engaged in the businesses he consults for to ensure their success. That is unlike his work at Board Room where he was 100% responsible for all the operations of the business and therefore was always able to ensure all the necessary processes were implemented to facilitate the...

Let me tell you a little bit about Brian.. Brian has been a serial direct marketer for over 35 years. He's never met a medium he didn't like.. .and yes he's had much success, which I'll tell you about in a minute… But he also admits to trying to sell subscriptions and books on the back of ATM receipts and under yogurt lids because it “seemed a good idea at the time..." So after 34 years and many of them as VP of the company, Brian left his beloved and the world famous Boardroom in January, 2015. Over 34 years he mailed close to 2 billion pieces of direct mail (and he did NOT lick every stamp!). For those of you who don't know, Direct mail is the godfather of what most of what works today in online marketing. It's just done digitally now. He was also responsible for the distribution of millions of other impressions and promotions in a wide variety of media, both offline and online, using the most innovative direct marketing techniques while working beside the most legendary copywriters and consultants who have ever lived in the history of the world, ever... Under Brian's marketing leadership, Boardroom's revenues went from approximately $5 million (in 1981) to a high of over $150 million (in 2006). Brian was instrumental in building Boardroom's print and electronic newsletters, including Bottom Line/Personal, Bottom Line/Health, Bottom Line Secrets and Daily Health News.. All which are now around 2 million subscribers. Think about that the next time you're stuck in traffic.. Look around and think about how many people you can see in their cars and then close your eyes.. To try and imagine 2 MILLION subscribers.. He was also responsible for selling tens of millions of books, mostly in health and finance, for consumers. His new mission for the next 35 years of his career is as the Founder of “Titans Marketing LLC”. He will be the bridge between the eternal truths of direct response marketing and all that is considered state-of-the-art in direct response today. In September of 2014, to kick off that mission, Brian hosted an event I was fortunate enough to attend.. An event many call the event of the decade: "Titans of Direct Response." "Titans” brought together the greatest minds in direct response marketing from the last 50 years...both as speakers and attendees. Titans Mastermind is the next big step in that mission as “The Bridge.” Brian writes and speaks regularly; recent content can be found at www.briankurtz.me.

It's been suggested that the average person can be exposed to as many as 100 different chemicals before she even heads out the door.It's been suggested that the average person, a woman in particular, can be exposed to as many as 100 different chemicals before she even heads out the door.It's not hard to believe, when you think about it. From the products you use in the shower (body wash, shampoo, conditioner, face wash) to the lotions and face creams you apply after, you're continually being exposed to various toxins.This can be the case, even in brands you may think are "healthy." That's why it's so essential to read the labels of the products you use, and understand what's on those labels.Why is this so important?Toxins and chemicals have been linked to chronic disease, including cancer. One recent study from the University of California, Berkley, found that parabens are 100 times more cancer-causing than previously thought.Sarah Hiner is President/CEO of Boardroom Inc., publishers of Bottom Line Personal and Bottom Line Health newsletters, as well as the newly launched The Bottom Line Store.
