Everyone's been talking about China's hotel growth — but the real story right now might be happening in India. I caught up with Bruce Ford of Lodging Econometrics about how India has quietly become one of the world's fastest-growing hotel markets, and why nearly every major Western brand now has an expansion plan there. We break it all down on #NoVacancyNews, from the rise of soft brands and master franchise deals to how conversions and white-label management are fueling a development surge that's doubling the country's pipeline in just two years.

Woody Woodward was this week's guest on Success Profiles Radio. He dropped out of high school at age 16, became a millionaire at 26, and was broke again by age 27. He has since built four multi-million-dollar companies and has written 44 books. His latest is DRIVE Sales System: The 5 Steps to Increasing Your Sales Reach by 400%. He has studied sales strategies in regard to buying habits, decision making, and product loyalty, and his personal products have sold over $60 million. We discussed why sales is the solution to your problems, why you miss important opportunities when you don't sell correctly, the five personality types in the D.R.I.V.E. sales system, and why correctly identifying the personality type you are talking to determines your success in the sales conversation. In addition, we talked about building trust instantly that creates lasting partnerships, examples of how the D.R.I.V.E. sales system can be accurately applied to Shark Tank pitches, the importance of selling someone THEIR solution instead of yours, and how to skillfully follow up if the sale isn't made on the first call. Finally, we discussed how to create superfans and how to find A-players to work with.

Costs are rising. Guests are stressed. Owners are squeezed. And hotels? They're juggling labor inflation, insurance spikes, debt pressure, and renovations delayed since… well, that period we all swore we'd never talk about again. For hashtag#NoVacancyNews I spoke with Mark Carrier, President of B. F. Saul Company Hospitality Group, to reveal what hotel owners really face today — and where smart operators find opportunity when everyone feels the pinch. And yes, we talk about the vibe shift in development, stalled pipelines, conversions, and why intermediation costs + guest data may be the real battleground ahead. Also yes: I slipped in a joke about running hashtag#PMS off a 1980s PC. You're welcome.

Master of Search - messbare Sichtbarkeit auf Google (Google Ads, Analytics, Tag Manager)
Viele denken: „Unsere Ads bringen nichts.“ Die Wahrheit ist: Sie geben einfach zu wenig aus, damit der Algorithmus überhaupt lernen kann. In dieser Folge zeige ich dir, ab welchem Budget Google & Meta-Kampagnen wirklich performen – und welche psychologische Falle du vermeiden musst, wenn du nicht weiter Geld verbrennen willst. Ich verrate dir konkrete Rechenbeispiele, Strategien für kleine Budgets und was du tun kannst, wenn du am Limit läufst. Du willst Ads schalten, ohne Geld zu verbrennen – aber dein Budget ist begrenzt? Dann ist diese Folge Pflicht. Ich erkläre dir, warum die meisten Kampagnen nicht scheitern, weil sie schlecht aufgesetzt sind – sondern weil sie zu wenig Daten liefern, um zu funktionieren. Denn Google & Meta sind datengetriebene Systeme. Nur wer genug Conversions liefert, ermöglicht dem Algorithmus, wirklich zu lernen. Du erfährst: - Wie viel Budget du mindestens brauchst, damit der Algorithmus stabil läuft - Warum „klein starten“ oft der teuerste Fehler ist - Mit welchem Tagesbudget du starten solltest (inkl. konkreter Rechenbeispiele) - Wie du bei kleinem Budget Kampagnen clever strukturierst - Welche Gebotsstrategie du am Anfang vermeiden solltest Diese Folge spart dir bares Geld – und zeigt dir, wie du dein Werbebudget so einsetzt, dass es endlich Rendite bringt.
In this episode of the Retirement Made Easy podcast, I delve into 401(k)s: how they work, why they matter, and how to maximize their benefits. I break down the basics in simple terms, just like I always aim to do, because retirement planning shouldn't be confusing. I discuss the differences between good and not-so-great 401(k) plans, the pros and cons of keeping your money in a 401(k) versus rolling it into an IRA, and how changes in providers can impact your investment options. I also share a helpful government site for tracking down old retirement accounts and explain why Roth conversions might be worth considering. My goal is to help you take control of your financial future with clarity and confidence. You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in.... (00:00) Intro. (00:27) Overview of 401(k) Plans. (01:40) Resources and Services Offered. (02:48) Deep Dive into 401(k) Plans. (05:13) 401(k) Rollovers and Conversions. (10:53) Employer Contributions and Vesting. (19:52) 401(k) Loans and Company Stock. (22:58) Mega Backdoor Roth and Final Tips. Smart 401(k) Moves: What to Know About Matching, Vesting, and Rollovers I will explain how Roth conversions can be done while you're still working or after retirement, depending on your 401(k) plan's rules. Not all plans allow them, and some require a hefty 20% tax withholding, which could be a drawback. I also break down how employer matching works (some companies offer generous matches, others offer none, and vesting schedules determine how much of that match you actually get to keep). I stress the importance of checking your vesting status before leaving a job. Then I dive into profit-sharing, which can be even more valuable than matching, but it's never guaranteed. I clarify a common misconception: rolling over funds from an old 401(k) or IRA into your current 401(k) won't earn you a match. Finally, I talk about the pros and cons of rolling old 401(k)s into either your current plan or a rollover IRA. Personally, I favor rollover IRAs for their flexibility, investment freedom, and ease of Roth conversions. Unlocking 401(k) Opportunities and Avoiding Pitfalls I caution listeners about 401(k) loans. If you retire or get laid off, that loan must be repaid quickly, or it becomes taxable. Once you leave your employer, you can't take out new loans from your 401(k) or IRA. I also touch on company stock in your 401(k); if you have a large concentration, talk to your financial planner about a tax strategy called net unrealized appreciation (NUA), which could work in your favor. Additionally, I introduce the "mega backdoor Roth," another beneficial strategy that allows high earners to contribute beyond the standard limits if their plan permits it (up to $70,000 annually). Not all plans allow this, but it's worth asking. I also share my frustration that there's no standardized way to compare 401(k) plans across companies. The best thing you can do is request your plan summary document and review it with a fiduciary advisor. Lastly, I offer a tip: some employers let you use unused vacation or PTO payouts as 401(k) contributions, which could help reduce your tax bill. It's a smart move to look into before you retire.

What if the thing you think is helping you close more sales is actually costing you conversions? My guest today, Jillian Murphy, is about to flip everything you know about selling on its head.Jillian went from being unexpectedly let go from her corporate sales job during the pandemic to building a seven-figure coaching business in just two years, all through Instagram DMs. No fancy funnels. No automation. No sales calls. Just authentic conversations that convert. In this episode, Jillian pulls back the curtain on her entire DM selling method, including how she closes clients up to $56K without ever jumping on a call, why making people book a calendar link is costing you sales, and how her content does 99% of the selling for her.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by all the "shoulds" in online business (the webinars, the ads, the complex funnels), this conversation will be a breath of fresh air. Jillian's approach is refreshingly simple, deeply relational, and incredibly effective. Whether you're selling jewelry, coaching, services, or products, this episode will change how you think about sales forever.In this episode, you'll learn:[2:42] The moment everything changed: How Jillian lost her corporate identity and found her true calling in less than 48 hours[5:14] Why attending a mastermind six weeks before getting fired became the catalyst for a seven-figure business[8:36] The Facebook group strategy that generated $68K in her first launch (and why she still doesn't have a website)[12:00] The Google Doc that replaces fancy sales pages, and why simpler is more profitable[15:58] The "bursting pipe" theory: Why calendar links are killing your conversions and what to do instead[20:11] How to handle ghosting in the DMs without losing your dignity (or the sale)[22:56] The objection-handling framework that closed a $56K deal entirely through Instagram messages[25:10] Why Jillian refuses to automate her DMs, and how she still has time for everythingHere are the resources mentioned in the show:Follow @theJillianMurphy on InstagramJillian's Free Weekly Webinar: Mastering DM Selling (Every Wednesday)Jillian's Podcast: Scale Your SalesJoin the 21-Day Creativity to Cash Flow Challenge ($1/day for 21 days of actionable sales strategies)Are you enjoying the podcast?

This controversial episode is tackling the messy side of shopping! Hosts Mike Ryan and Christian Scharmueller dive straight into the news that Zalando is tightening its return policy, issuing warnings and even year-long bans for shoppers with "disproportionately high return volumes". With fashion return rates soaring (sometimes 30-70%!), they break down why retailers are finally getting serious about profitability and why relying solely on order value is a massive, costly mistake for your advertising campaigns.But don't panic! We offer the smart, proactive solution: leveraging off-channel first-party data. Mike and Chris explain how you can integrate return rate data into your campaigns using tools like Conversions with Cart Data and even Google's Product Return Rate Predictor. Plus: Mike and Chris take a look at how Google is leading the pack with virtual try-on technology to stop returns before they even happen. Finally, the boys tackle the all-important Black Friday strategy, discussing the dilution of the sales event and Google's new "triple peak week" thesis: Surging Sunday, Black Friday, and Cyber Sunday.Links mentioned in this episode:https://smarter-ecommerce.com/en/smec-market-observer/https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/generative-ai/docs/model-reference/virtual-try-on-apihttps://github.com/google-marketing-solutions/product-return-predictorAbout smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Petar Lackovic, the toughest part of growing a small business is getting out of your own way. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly block their own progress by being stubborn, not acting quick enough, overthinking, or avoiding new learnings needed to succeed. He emphasizes the importance of self-awareness – identifying weaknesses, gaining new skills, and focusing on the “best next step.” Petar believes true growth happens when business owners let go of ego, stay adaptable, and take consistent, forward-moving action. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Petar Lackovic says the business book that helped him the most in his early days is “The E-Myth” by Michael E. Gerber, as it completely changed how he viewed entrepreneurship. The book taught him the power of creating systems and processes so a business can operate independently of its owner. It helped him shift his mindset from working in the business to working on it, allowing for sustainable growth and long-term success. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Petar Lackovic recommends learning from podcasts and resources that focus on sales mastery and business growth. He's featured on shows like Super Obvious with James Tuckerman and Inspiring Business for Good, where he shares insights on converting leads, mastering sales language, and understanding the stages of entrepreneurship. For structured learning, his Reverse Selling Method™ Cheat Sheet and his Reverse Selling Method™ Short Course is available through his Globally award winning program CONVERT Club™ and offers practical frameworks to help business owners boost conversions, increase speed of sale, raise prices confidently (charging your true worth), and build strong, repeatable sales systems. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Petar Lackovic recommends the Reverse Selling Method™ as the most powerful tool to grow a small business's revenue and cashflow. This framework helps business owners transform how they sell by shifting from chasing clients to attracting them through trust and clarity. It focuses on lowering buyer resistance, framing conversations around customer needs, being seen as the prize in the sales conversation and having customers buying from you instead of you feeling you're selling to them by creating a repeatable, scalable sales system that drives consistent results. By mastering this method, entrepreneurs can boost conversions, increase prices confidently, and build long-term customer relationships without relying on pushy sales tactics. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Petar Lackovic says the advice he'd give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple: keep moving forward. He believes success isn't about having all the answers from the start but about taking consistent steps, learning, and adapting along the way. Even when things feel uncertain or difficult, progress - no matter how small - builds momentum and clarity. His message is that everything works out if you stay focused, keep learning/outgrowing yourself, and never stop moving forward.
