6x Your Ad ROI: The Power of Google Reviews for Cash Practices In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down how one simple factor—Google reviews—can transform your return on ad spend (ROAS) from 2x to 12x. Using a real example of two nearly identical clinics, he explains why social proof is the difference between average and elite marketing results, and how to build a system that keeps reviews (and new patients) flowing. Quick Ask Help us reach our mission of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it to your IG stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary Case Study: Two clinics, same ads, same demographics—one made 12x ROI, the other only 2x. The difference? 250 Google reviews vs. zero. Intent-based ads win: Google search leads are high-intent buyers looking for a real solution, not just scrolling. Social proof = trust: Buyers skip clinics with few or no reviews. Local reputation heavily influences clicks and conversions. AI search impact: Platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini still pull heavily from Google data—especially reviews—for local service rankings. ROI math: A 12x return means hiring faster, filling schedules, and scaling with confidence; 2x means ads are barely sustainable. How to 6x Your Return on Ad Spend Ask in person: Don't automate gratitude. When a patient shares a big win, that's your moment to ask for a review. Make it easy: Text them the direct Google review link right then. If they use Gmail, they're likely already logged in—instant review. Follow up: People get busy. Email or text them again a few days later with the same link and a quick thank-you note. Train your staff: Encourage your team to ask happy patients too—especially those they love working with. More ideal patients come from more aligned reviews. Automate wisely: Use email triggers to request reviews mid or post plan of care, but never rely on automation alone. Mindset & Systems Fundamentals matter: Gathering reviews may not feel flashy, but it's like dribbling with your non-dominant hand—it changes your game. Track outcomes: Compare ad performance monthly. Reallocate spend toward high-ROI locations with more social proof. Empower your team: Remind staff that reviews bring in more of the patients they enjoy treating—reducing burnout and improving morale. Notable Quotes “The difference between a 2x and a 12x ROI isn't your ad—it's your reviews.” “Social proof is your digital word of mouth. It's what people trust before they ever meet you.” “This is like dribbling with your non-dominant hand. It's not sexy—but it wins games.” Pro Tips You Can Use This Month Audit your listings: Count your Google reviews and compare them to competitors in your area. Create a script: Role-play how your staff asks patients for reviews at the right time. Use Gmail leverage: Focus on patients with Gmail accounts—they can review you in seconds. Celebrate wins: Share positive reviews in team meetings to reinforce the habit. Measure ROI: Track ad results before and after review pushes. The data will speak for itself. Action Items Text your Google review link to 5 happy patients today. Train your team to ask at every discharge or major breakthrough moment. Follow up once per week with anyone who hasn't yet left a review. Revisit your Google Business Profile—add photos, services, and recent updates to boost visibility.

We can definitively say it now: the buyer's market is here.  The housing market is cooling down, but the deals are heating up as a “mild” correction slows down hot markets and gives buyers even more power in cold ones. With it comes buying opportunities—ones that real estate investors have been starved of over the past few years. You can negotiate for more, offer less, and lock in a lower mortgage rate than last year. The question is: will this correction turn into a full-blown housing crash? Dave's giving you his honest (and data-backed) opinion in this September 2025 housing market update! Mortgage delinquencies are rising rapidly in one subset of the market, the crash-bro clickbaiters say it's a sign of a coming housing apocalypse—are they finally right about something? One thing is certain: a few housing markets across the US are in danger of slipping into an even more oversupplied market. But, with new data showing that sellers are quitting and walking away, will this reverse the worrying trend? Stick around, we've got your housing market update without the hype.   In This Episode We Cover The “mild” housing market correction: what it means and whether it'll become a crash Updated home price predictions and how much prices will rise/fall by the end of the year Signs that you can start confidently bidding under asking price (but by how much?) Why inventory is beginning to reverse (have sellers finally had enough?) Mortgage delinquencies are rising: who's affected and could it lead to foreclosures? What investors should do now to prepare to buy discounted deals (be patient!) And So Much More!

This segment from the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, tackles Bed Bath & Beyond's announcement of a nationwide franchise system. Chris doesn't hold back, calling this "the single dumbest idea" in the show's eight-year history. Anne tries to find potential benefits for independent retailers but struggles to justify the investment. With the company just emerging from bankruptcy and no clear competitive advantage, is this franchise opportunity a trap for unsuspecting entrepreneurs? Buyer beware!

Ever found yourself halfway through a showing thinking, “This buyer has no intention of buying anything”? You, my friend, have met the infamous looky loo. They're curious, they're charming, and they are a black hole of time, gas money, and sanity, unless you have boundaries. In this episode, we're going deep into how to manage the buyers who just want to look; the ones who text at 9pm with Zillow links, or who take seven years to finally make a purchase. We're sharing real stories (some wild ones), actionable strategies, and a whole lot of permission to run your business like a business. If you've ever thought, “I don't want to lose the deal,” but also “I might lose my mind,” this one's for you.   Here's what we cover in this episode: What makes someone a looky loo and how to spot them early How to set clear boundaries and expectations without guilt The difference between being helpful and being used When to quiet quit on a buyer (and how to do it professionally) Scripts to help you say what needs to be said, kindly but firmly How to qualify casual buyers without scaring them off How buyer behavior impacts your time, business, and mental load   Products, People & Previous Episodes Mentioned:

Thinking about buying a home but waiting for the “perfect moment”? In this episode, we break down why now might actually be your moment. Despite what most people assume, the market, especially here in the Midwest, is full of opportunities for buyers who know where to look. Winter doesn't slow everything down; it simply means sellers are more motivated and competition is lighter. Plus, unlike the frenzy of the past few years, buyers now have room to breathe. Inspections are back on the table, negotiations are stronger, and prices are appreciating at a much more reasonable pace. On top of that, sellers are getting creative with incentives from closing cost credits to interest rate buy-downs all to make deals more attractive. If you've been sitting on the sidelines, this episode will give you the confidence and insight you need to jump in smart.

On this solo episode:Stacey dives into the psychology of decision-making in sales, emphasizing that buyers make decisions emotionally first and logically second.Key Takeaways:-The buyer's brain isn't your enemy — it's your greatest ally.-Objections aren't rejection; they're hesitation.-Facts tell, but stories sell.Tweetable Quotes:"The human brain makes decisions emotionally first and justifies them logically afterward. That's why people buy with their hearts and defend the purchase with their heads." -Stacey O'Byrne"Loss aversion means people act faster to avoid pain than to gain pleasure. If you're only selling the win, you're missing half your audience." -Stacey O'Byrne"Every time you ignore buyer psychology, you're not just losing sales — you're lighting your time and money on fire." -Stacey O'ByrneResources: Instagram: @pivotpointadvantageFree Strategy Session: text Success to 646.495.9867Schedule a 15-minute call with Stacey: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/talktostaceyIf you're ready to take yourself and your business to the next level and are interested in a coaching program that will get you there check out: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/iwantsuccess Join an interactive environment to help you build the success you've always wanted with other like-minded, success-driven entrepreneurs, business owners, and sales professionals: https://facebook.com/groups/sellwithoutselling

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1162: Tesla posts a surprise Q3 sales record, $1,000 car payments are becoming the new normal, Meta plans to use AI chats to make ad targeting more personal than ever.Show Notes with links:Tesla delivered a surprise Q3 record after a rocky first half of the year, beating Wall Street expectations with nearly half a million EVs sold. But with the federal EV tax credit now gone, the question is whether momentum can carry into Q4 and beyond.Tesla delivered 497,099 vehicles, topping estimates of 456,000 and reversing two quarters of declines.Model 3 and Y deliveries rose 9%, while other models dropped 30%.Tesla's energy business hit a record, nearly doubling storage deployments to 12.5 GWh.Rivian also posted a 32% bump, delivering 13,201 EVs in Q3.What used to be unthinkable is now routine: the $1,000-a-month car payment. Nearly one in six new-car buyers are signing up for four-figure notes, a trend driven by rising prices, interest rates, and longer terms — reshaping affordability conversations across the showroom floor.In 2015, only 2.4% of buyers paid $1,000+; that number hit 16.6% in JulySUVs (53%) and pickups (37%) dominate these deals; 5% of all $1,000+ buyers drove off in an F-150.Buyers today face average loans near $42K at 6.8% interest, compared to $28K at 3.9% a decade ago.Longer terms now stretch over 68 months on average, nearly a year longer than 2015.“There are some that are very shocked by the payment,” said Cody Anderson, GSM at Freedom Ford. “Their payment thought process is five years ago compared to now.”Meta is about to supercharge its ad business by tapping into conversations people have with its AI chatbot.

A lot of buyer's agents think being “better” just means moving faster. Taking every late-night call, saying yes to every showing, and running themselves ragged across town. More homes, more showings, more hustle. But hustle doesn't equal conversion, it often equals burnout. The agents who actually win with buyers aren't the ones sprinting around at all hours. They're the ones who slow down, take control, and position themselves as trusted advisors. The truth is, too many buyer's agents play the role of door-opener. They think value comes from access, when in reality, buyers are craving authority. Without clear guidance, clients don't feel safe. They get overwhelmed by endless options, stall out on decisions, and eventually ghost you. Being a great buyer's agent isn't about being available 24/7. It's about creating safety through authority, building trust by asking better questions, and making recommendations without being pushy.  So how do you shift from being “just another agent” to the one buyers actually listen to? How do you guide clients without making them feel like subordinates? In this episode of Level Up, we break down exactly what separates the buyer's agents who burn out from the ones who close deals consistently, and how you can step into that second category.   Buyer's agents want to be the respected advisor, but they tend to act like they're just the door opener. -Greg Harrelson   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Value beats volume Being available 24/7 and running from showing to showing doesn't make you a better agent. What happens when you focus on bringing value and expertise instead of more showings? The power of buyer consultations Most agents skip straight to showings, but consultations uncover motivation, timelines, and deal-breakers. How does a simple upfront conversation save you time and boost your conversion rate? Authority without arrogance Buyers want guidance, but they don't want to feel bossed around. How do you step into authority while still making clients feel safe and in control?   About Your Host Greg Harrelson is a real estate agent, coach, trainer and owner of Century 21 The Harrelson Group.

Nick is proud to announce his new book, "Exit For Millions: The Private Equity Blueprint for Scaling and Selling Your Business for Maximum Value," which aims to level the playing field for founders when dealing with sophisticated buyers.  He shares the importance of taking time off to practice what he preaches about freedom and optionality and details the book's core focus: the "Scale to Sale™️" methodology with five pillars designed to transform a company into an investor-grade asset, ensuring founders achieve significant, generation-defining wealth and financial independence upon exit. KEY TAKEAWAYS Significant, generational wealth is created at the exit of a business, not just through operations, which requires shifting one's identity from operator to owner to be the "prize" and not the "prey". The Scale to Sale™️ methodology has five pillars: establish a clear end game; strengthen the foundations (remove complexity and risk); scale fast and expand value (accelerate growth); prepare and profit up (maximize valuation); and exit for the highest multiple. Buyers pay for proof, predictability, systems, and sustainable business models—not for potential alone. The goal is to build a predictable, repeatable, and sustainable business. Focusing on three core value levers—organic growth, strategic growth (e.g., debt/equity and partnerships), and multiple expansion (building the business to drive transfer value)—will give the highest bump in a company's valuation. BEST MOMENTS "If you can't build a business that works for you, you end up in a bit of a prison, right? So, you know, I like to be able to practice what I preach". "My mission here is to help founders, to help business owners transform their company into an investor-grade asset, something that an investor would see as valuable". "The core piece of what I'm trying to get across, is that point of optionality. So, even if selling is not where you're at right now, but you want to reverse engineer from a potential event like that in the future, then everything in the book is geared around that outcome". "They don't pay for potential. And people kind of think it's about what the business can become. Yes, it is, but it's about showing what the business can become with proof of what it has been".

If you've ever wondered why your audience is engaging but not buying, this episode is going to shift everything. I'm sharing a powerful new framework I introduced during a recent training that had our live attendees and NBA students buzzing, and I knew I had to bring it to the podcast. Inside this episode, I walk you through the Avatar Elevation Pyramid: a framework that helps you identify exactly who you're attracting in your business right now... and whether they're actually ready to buy from you. We're going way beyond traditional “ideal client avatar” talk, because let's be honest, vague demographics and surface-level pain points just don't cut it when it comes to attracting premium buyers. I'll show you the five types of audience members you're likely speaking to — from the “sleeper” to the “seeker” to the “solver” and beyond — and help you determine which ones are draining your energy and which ones will actually invest. Whether you're brand new to business or 10 years in, chances are your messaging is attracting the wrong people… and this episode will help you shift that today.

In this insightful episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Tim Bradley—co-founder of Pennant Video and creator of the Video Marketing Trifecta—for a masterclass in modern video marketing, authentic storytelling, and building impactful campaigns that drive real business results. Whether you're a startup founder, B2B marketer, or any leader feeling “stuck” in the noisy world of digital marketing, this conversation is packed with actionable wisdom, practical frameworks, and a fresh perspective on connecting with audiences in today's attention economy. A Marketer's Journey: Tim Bradley's Origin Story Wize El Jefe kicks off the episode with a warm welcome and immediately dives into Bradley's journey. Tim recounts his early days, growing up with a dad who always had a camera at family gatherings, sparking an early love for visual storytelling. From making stop-motion Lego movies in the backyard as a kid to entering the world of YouTube just before its Google-era explosion, Tim found himself at the intersection of creativity and technology right as digital video was transforming how brands communicated. Leading Creative Teams: Lessons in Fast-Paced Storytelling Tim shares lessons from leading a 25-person creative team, detailing how high-speed, high-stakes content creation in video marketing taught him the importance of intentional storytelling. Unlike long-form narratives, he explains, most marketing videos have just 60 seconds to grab attention, build trust, and empower decisions. One key takeaway? No single video can do it all. Instead, the secret lies in delivering the right story, with the right information, at the right moment along the buyer's journey. The ‘Aha' Moment: Why One Video Is Never Enough For many businesses, the common mistake is packing too much into one video—trying to appeal to every stakeholder, answer every question, and check every marketing box. Tim describes how this leads to bloated, unfocused videos that end up being more like boring PowerPoint presentations than compelling narratives. His solution was to develop frameworks (and learn to say “no” to client bloat!), ultimately leading to the creation of his flagship approach: the Video Marketing Trifecta. Introducing the Video Marketing Trifecta Tim lays out the Trifecta framework—a strategic, repeatable system that breaks down B2B video content into three distinct but connected pieces: Anthem Videos: These flagship “why we exist” stories live atop websites and at the center of major events, rallying audiences by tapping into beliefs, values, and mission. They're designed to speak to the audience's heart and reflect the viewer's aspirations back at them. Explainer Videos: Where anthem videos build emotional resonance, explainers serve the mind—clarifying “what do you do?” and “how do you do it?”, tailored for different roles, industries, or pain points. Endorsement Videos: The gut check and validation, where satisfied customers become storytellers. These testimonials are powerful trust-builders, showing prospects people like them succeeding with your solution. Together, these three content pillars differentiate, demonstrate value, and validate your brand, stitching together a buyer's journey that doesn't depend on just one magical piece of content. Solving Real Business Problems—Not Just Creating “Flashy Content” Tim makes a compelling distinction between flashy, high-production-value videos and genuinely effective content. The former might get attention, but if it isn't audience-first and aligned with real buyer concerns, it'll fall flat. Authentic storytelling, built on knowing your customer, using consistent frameworks, and grounding content in actual buyer needs, is where true ROI happens—especially in complex B2B sales that can last up to a year. Learning from Mistakes: Focus and Adaptability From failed attempts at all-in-one videos to wasting resources chasing every social channel, Tim is candid about how early missteps shaped his approach. Now, his focus is on being highly intentional—meeting audiences where they are, focusing efforts on platforms and moments that truly matter, and ensuring each piece of content has a clearly defined role. The Power of the Mid-Funnel: Unlocking Hidden Value One of the most powerful insights from the episode is Tim's emphasis on the neglected “mid-funnel.” While brands invest heavily at the top (awareness/advertising) and bottom (customer nurturing/thought leadership), the critical middle—where trust is built, decisions are made, and engagement happens—often gets overlooked. This is where the Video Marketing Trifecta shines, filling a gap ignored by many in-house teams, especially in long B2B sales cycles. Actionable Advice for Startups and Small Budgets Tim's advice isn't just for Fortune 500s—he breaks down how startups and small businesses can apply the same principles. With just a smartphone and some consistency, anyone can start building a valuable content library, learn from audience feedback, and invest resources more strategically over time. The key: Just start, keep learning, and don't wait for perfect equipment to tell your story. Creative Trends & The Role of AI The conversation examines the evolving role of AI in content creation and production efficiency. While Tim embraces AI tools for speeding up tedious editing and transcription, he cautions against letting shortcuts erode trust or authenticity. For podcasting and video alike, leveraging technology should enhance—not replace—the human connection. Myths, Trends, and What's Next Tim busts the myth of the “one-video-to-rule-them-all,” emphasizing that great video assets can—and should—be repurposed, remixed, and used across channels, events, and content calendars for maximum return on investment. In terms of trends, he urges brands to embrace “video first” strategies, invest in internal teams, leverage influencer and creator culture even in B2B, and make better use of existing assets through thoughtful repurposing. Practical Alignment: Syncing Video Strategy with the Buyer's Journey For businesses looking to better match their video strategy with real buyer journeys, Tim recommends having authentic conversations—with customers, sales teams, and industry partners—to surface pain points, objections, and opportunities for trust-building stories. Strong relationships, clarity on goals, and an audience-first mindset are more valuable than any piece of equipment or viral trend. For the Stuck Marketer: Don't Add to the Noise Closing out, Tim offers heartfelt advice to leaders feeling overwhelmed: Don't just contribute to digital noise for the sake of it. Engage with intention—prioritize value, make real connections, and let authentic stories cut through. To anyone who has felt like video “didn't work,” he encourages honest reflection on goals, creative approach, and whether the content was truly audience-driven.
