So then they outgrow that platform sometimes very quickly. And Rhea, you and I both know that moving from one CRM can be a real pain in the butt.” — Jason Kramer00:19 - 00:37 Welcome to Peppershock Media's Marketing Expedition Podcast00:38 - 01:42 Jason's Background01:43 - 17:30 Marketing Essentials Moment: Marketing and Advertising Budget17:30 - 18:07 Welcome to the show, Jason!18:08 - 20:53 Jason's Journey to Cultivize20:54 - 22:09 Case Studies and Client Success22:10 - 23:32 Automating Follow-Up Processes23:33 - 26:43 CRM Fit Assessment26:44 - 29:34 Email Marketing: What Works29:35 - 32:08 Personalization in Email Campaigns32:09 - 33:08 Hello Audio is the best format for creating a connection between you and your audience and allows them to access your zone of genius at the click of a button.33:09 - 35:45 Recommended Tools for Marketing35:46 - 41:15 Freemium vs. Paid CRM Solutions41:16 - 45:18 Advice for Students Entering the Industry45:19 - 49:15 Podcasts as a Learning Resource49:16 - 53:16 Cultivize Walk Through53:17 - 55:23 Reach out to Jason (https://cultivize.com/jason-kramer-podcast-guest-overview/)55:24 - 56:26 Thank you so much, Jason!

Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice.   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 Jason Kramer, the hardest things in growing a small business are finding quality people who are reliable, dependable experts with good communication skills. He also notes that juggling all the different aspects of the business can be difficult for some, though less so for him due to his organised approach. Reflecting on his early days, Jason would advise himself to seek out those who have experience and made mistakes to learn from them and accelerate success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jason Kramer's favourite business book is "Profit First" by Mike Michalowicz. He states that this book has significantly impacted how they manage cash flow in their business using a system of multiple bank accounts. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Jason Kramer recommends Donald C Kelly's podcast, "The Sales Evangelist", for valuable techniques and ideas. He also finds Jeff Blanto's "Sales Gravy" sometimes interesting. Additionally, Jason's company, Cultivate, offers "Profit Path", a tool with coaching and ebooks for tracking leads and marketing ROI. The "Grow Small Business Podcast" itself, hosted by Troy Trewin, who interviewed Jason, is also a relevant resource, with a past episode featuring Mike Michalowicz, author of "Profit First". What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Jason Kramer recommends The Sales Evangelist podcast by Donald C. Kelly for practical, actionable sales techniques and Sales Gravy by Jeb Blount for insightful tips on business and selling. He also highlights the importance of mixing in some non-business content for balance, like Conan O'Brien's podcast, which he enjoys for its humor and engaging interviews​. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Jason Kramer's advice to his day-one self would be: “It's going to be a hell of a ride, unexpected but worth it.” He emphasizes the importance of learning from those who've gone before — seeking out people who've made mistakes and grown from them, so you can fast-track your own success by avoiding common pitfalls​.

Staying organized in your business is crucial—whether it's managing finances, streamlining operations, or preparing for future team growth. Keeping yourself structured ensures efficiency and clarity.At the same time, don't be afraid to experiment. However, it's essential to track the results of those experiments. For example, if you're investing $2,000 a month in marketing, regularly assess its effectiveness rather than assuming it's working. Similarly, don't blindly trust someone just because they claim to be an expert—verify their expertise.Many businesses, even large ones, fall into the trap of making assumptions. They assume strategies will work, that hires are competent, or that expenses are justified, without proper evaluation. Avoiding these assumptions and staying analytical can make a significant difference in your success.

Welcome to another episode of Brick and Mortar Visibility!

This week our host Brandi Starr is joined by Jason Kramer, Founder of Cultivise, a consulting firm specializing in B2B lead nurturing strategies and technology. Meet Jason Kramer, a seasoned expert who has identified and bridged revenue gaps in marketing and sales funnels for businesses of all sizes. Through his innovative work at Cultivise, Jason empowers companies to connect prospect and customer data with marketing campaigns and sales activities, driving better quality leads and substantial revenue growth. In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Jason dive into the challenge of cleaning dirty data, aligning technology with business goals, and the importance of holistic reflection on marketing efforts. Discover actionable strategies to nurture leads effectively, harness the power of CRM, and boost your team's productivity by leveraging the right technology. Whether you're struggling with data chaos or looking for ways to enhance your sales and marketing connectivity, this episode promises invaluable insights.  Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers: Topic #1: The Challenge of Dirty Data in Business Processes [08:22] “Cleaning data is like convincing your child to clean their room,” Jason Kramer explains. “It's not glamorous, but it's essential. You can't just fix one corner and expect everything to be perfect. It's a continual commitment to maintaining a clean state, and this process needs to be holistic.” Topic #2: Evaluating Marketing Channel Effectiveness [17:45] “A key part of successful marketing is tracking and attributing where your best leads come from,” Brandi Starr comments. “If you're able to predict which channels generate the most revenue, you can tailor your future investments efficiently.” Jason Kramer builds on this, “We used QR codes to track lead origins and found that Facebook leads were less effective because we couldn't connect with them reliably. This insight told us we needed to tweak our approach.” Topic #3: The Gap in Lead Nurturing [23:14] “Companies often treat marketing and sales as separate silos,” Jason Kramer notes. “Marketing qualified leads (MQL) and sales qualified leads (SQL) are concepts that emphasize the importance of handoffs between teams, yet many companies fail to nurture leads who aren't ready to buy yet. A systematic nurturing process, like email sequences and education, can increase conversion rates by 63%.”  So, What's the One Thing You Can Do Today? Jason's 'One Thing' is to start with a technology inventory. "Begin by taking a comprehensive inventory of the technology and software that you currently use within your sales and marketing teams. Identify what's being utilized effectively and what's not, and then consider the integration points between these tools. This will help you free up budget, ensure alignment with your business goals, and streamline your data flow. Remember, the right technology should support your strategy, not define it. By taking this first step, you'll lay the groundwork for better lead nurturing and ultimately, drive revenue growth." Take this actionable step to create a clear and organized snapshot of your current technology landscape, which will help in making informed decisions moving forward. Buzzword Banishment: Jason Kramer's Buzzword to Banish is "synergy." He wants to banish it because, as he explains, “It's become this catch-all word that, frankly, presents more confusion than clarity. Companies throw it around without really understanding or explaining what it truly means in their specific context. Instead of driving alignment, the term often ends up muddling communication.” Links: Get in touch on: LinkedIn Facebook YouTube Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website

While all of hip hop prizes authenticity, as Van Lathan put it in Filthy Slime Pt 1: “In street rap authenticity is more important than skill”. Today we dive into the ways that this genre's prizing of authenticity has evolved to a point where some rappers aren't just merely making artful commentary or provocations about gang life, but are using their lyrics to document and at times admit their involvement in serious crimes, including murder. Here in the second installment of our deep dive into rap on trial, our guests Van Lathan and producer 4-IZE help us examine this cultural debate in the larger context of an evolution happening right now in rap music. We look at the role played by everything from social media to record labels, and try to grapple with what this means not only for Young Thug's RICO case but for the future of artists living in high crime neighborhoods. Special thanks to Prince Paul, Jason Kramer, Bill Donahoe, Kmele Foster, 4-IZE, Megan Phelps-Roper, and Van Lathan.

Music has been a feature of American culture wars since at least the time of Elvis Presley's gyrating dance moves on The Ed Sullivan show in 1956. But amidst all the moral panics about hip-shaking and backmasking, there is a legitimate and fascinating question about the role and influence that popular music plays on human behavior and on society more broadly.  Today, we are publishing the first episode in our breakdown of the debate around Rap on Trial and what it says (and misses) about the role of music in culture. We begin in 1985 with Tipper Gore's fight against Prince and the obscenity of 80's rock music, then dive deep into the rapper Young Thug's current RICO case in Atlanta Georgia and other cases where music is being brought into criminal trials. Our goal, as always, is to try and understand this story and everyone involved in the best faith possible. Which, yes, means we are going to steel-man Tipper Gore, Young Thug and T.I. all in the same story.

The focus shifts to nurturing these leads, understanding the buyer's journey, and effectively communicating the value proposition. Kramer emphasizes the importance of looking beyond the initial contact, "It's learning from other people's mistakes but also saying, 'Hey, what are the top brands doing really exceptionally well?'...It's about taking it from what happens after the lead, nurturing that lead, educating that lead through the buyer's journey."The Unique Brand Identity of CultivizeKramer's decision to create a unique brand name like Cultivize reflects his desire for distinctiveness and memorability in the marketplace. The name Cultivize, a blend of 'cultivate' and 'seize', encapsulates the dual focus of cultivating client relationships and seizing opportunities to convert leads into customers. This branding strategy highlights the innovative approach Kramer employs in standing out in a crowded market.A Holistic Approach to Sales and MarketingThroughout the conversation, Kramer advocates for a holistic and integrated approach to sales and marketing.

Mastering Email Communication Highly effective email communication isn't simply about crafting an email and hitting send. It requires understanding the recipient's pain points, being concise and clear with the message, and personalizing content to capture the recipient's attention. With an average email receiving only about 15–20 seconds of a reader's attention, keeping your message short and to the point, along with the strategic inclusion of case studies or examples, ensures your email gets the attention it deserves. Optimizing Sales Outreach Effective sales outreach starts with an in-depth understanding of the target audience and tailoring the messaging accordingly. This requires sales professionals to steer clear of generic mass emails and focus more on personalized, value-driven communication. Utilizing the correct tools, deploying the right strategies, and regular monitoring of engagement can significantly optimize outreach efforts, helping sales teams connect more meaningfully with prospects and increase the likelihood of closing deals. Establishing Meaningful Connections Developing strong relationships is a crucial aspect of a successful sales strategy. By understanding the length of the sales cycle, identifying a suitable touchpoint cadence, and using effective communication tools, businesses can build substantial connections with prospective clients. An appropriately planned and well-implemented strategy can lead to more engagement, improved trust, and ultimately a higher conversion rate.

From that point on, Jason realized that music and radio were his calling.During his transition, he started off with a stint working with SoCal favorites Sublime and their label Skunk Records. In 1996, he moved on to Fox Sports TV as their full-time music supervisor for 6 years, leading him to become a show producer on Fox Sports Radio. He has also worked in various other aspects of music including management, radio DJ, publishing, creative consulting, music photography, education, and as a music supervisor. Jason started off as a KCRW volunteer in the mid-90s and has been on air since 1997 during a show called The Lab. You can hear Jason on his weekly show on Sunday nights on KCRW and KCRW.com, and can be found playing himself on several films and TV shows in the past few years.

Get to know your Smart Agency Guest Host: Dr. Jeremy Weisz is the co-founder of Rise25, an agency that helps companies launch and run podcasts profitably. He followed Jason's podcast and eventually joined the mastermind and has been a guest on the podcast before. Today, he's helping Jason bring something new to the Smart Agency podcast audience by interviewing a special guest and getting a new perspective to the show.   Changing Your Niche to Adapt to the Market Back in 2001, Jason Kramer was working at an agency in New York with big clients like Virgin Atlantic Airways. After 9/11, the agency went from 60+ people to 14 people very quickly. At the time, he was already doing some freelance work on the side so his choices seemed clear. He could either go work for another big agency or he could start his own business. That decision led to starting his first agency, focused on web development services. After a while, it became harder to sustain his business with the emergence of new tools that made website design more accessible. He eventually sold that agency. In his new agency, Jason and his team help B2B businesses and agencies streamline their sales and marketing process and are top Sharpspring integrators. Technology alone doesn't solve problems, so Jason's secret sauce is leveraging his experience in order to identify pain points in his clients' processes. Next, they pair clients up with the right technology to meet their goals. The challenge is having the right team to adopt the technology. It's a lot of moving parts and Jason's key to success is his team's hands-on approach. They're involved from the very beginning and have a deep understanding of how to customize technology to reach clients' goals. What to Look for in a Good CRM Platform When they first start working with Cutlivize, many clients don't have CRM technology in place.  So the first step is to analyze whether or not a SharpSpring is a good fit. Their criteria for a good CRM include intuitive adoption for new users, affordability, and fully inclusive of add-on capabilities. Most of their clientele doesn't have a CRM and is starting from scratch with SharpSpring. About 30% of their clients transition from another CRM platform to SharpSpring with their help. However, that 30% usually needs some convincing to consider the idea of migrating to a new system. When clients are using another platform, they've usually stuck to that technology simply because they've been using it for a long time. Some clients are using dated systems and worry they won't be able to export their data. Another big concern is training the client team on a new CRM. In those cases, Jason asks to see how the company uses this technology on a daily basis. The majority of clients discover they're not actually using the technology as much as they thought. Whatever the concerns, the most important element to ensure a successful migration will be that the sales team is a part of that conversation.   Why Agencies Should Insist Clients Use a CRM The Cultivate team has worked with over 30 agencies helping their clients get more out of a CRM for their clients. Jason says those agencies are leaving money on the table because any agency is only half the equation. They're normally getting leads into the organization. However, it's up to the client to actually talk to those clients, close the deal, and report the results of those leads. You can effectively track your results for clients if they aren't tracking things on their end as well. According to Jason, agencies that don't offer a CRM platform service struggle because the clients don't follow through on those leads. This ultimately affects the results clients see and they will continue to shift agencies. In reality, the problem is the client doesn't have a system in place to track everything. For these cases, Jason's team offer to help with strategic planning and integrating the CRM so they can have transparency to show what's actually working. Additionally, based on their model, it can work as an additional passive revenue stream for the agency. The agency offers value to the client and gets an additional revenue stream for something their team doesn't even have to touch. How to Create an Effective Agency Sales Follow-Up Process Typically, when Jason's team comes in to assess a company they find there's some sort of follow-up process. However, it tends to be inconsistent. Most have no rhyme or reason for their outreach efforts. On the other hand, there are some who are too aggressive with their outreach. They make multiple attempts every week, making phone calls and sending emails, which quickly turns people off. Generally speaking, follow-up should be done in a way that is ethical but also friendly and not overbearing. Additionally, these interactions should be tracked. If you sent 50 quotes, how many of those are likely to close? Which ones do you still need to follow up with? At the end of the day, you want to sell, not be stuck with mundane emails forever. That's why a follow-up process is so important. Prepare templates to ensure you're sending emails that provide value and a reason for reaching out. This empowers the sales team and makes their outreach more effective. What Can You Do to Improve? Understand their goals. The best way to help your client make a decision is to understand them and their business. It can take a few months to get a client going and excited to work with you. If that client usually has a very busy summer season, for instance, explain that your process can take up to three months to get ramped up. Therefore, it's important to get started three months or more before that busy summer season. Providing value and education. Instead of sending back-to-back messages asking when they're going to make a decision, you can explain a little bit about your process, how it's done, and why you'll need a certain amount of time to do it. Educating the client and providing information is helpful without being pushy. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

In this new episode, Eric chats with Jason Kramer, Founder and CEO of Cultivize. Jason worked in marketing for 25 years before founding his agency, which he launched after seeing many wholesalers, distributors, online retailers, service providers, and manufacturers lose potential revenue due to problematic holes in their funnel. The goal of Cultivize is to solve this all-too-common problem by educating and coaching people to better learn the process and master the technology.“A lot of businesses don't have a succinct process and technology platform in place to nurture and educate their prospects through their buying journey. It's a known fact that it's far more cost-effective to nurture your current pipeline than to spend money on capturing new leads. Over the last 10 years, marketing automation and CRM platforms have risen to prominence by enabling sales teams to become significantly more efficient and effective when this technology becomes part of their daily toolbox.” – Jason KramerJason, who has used SharpSpring for 11 years and is a Platinum Certified SharpSpring Consultant, talks with Eric about everything from customer retention tips, to the issues with attribution, to why podcasts are growing in popularity today, and much more.

Often, when we think of art/music technology, we imagine that people get into it by watching YouTube videos, or seeing things in concerts, or through some other indirect method. But often, a hands-on experience is what lights people off in a new direction, and Jason Kramer is at the heart of that process. He is the co-owner and in-store manager of Control Voltage, one of the few US stores that carry modular and analog synth gear, and on a daily basis he has the opportunity to introduce people to the gear of their future. It was fun to talk to Jason - an incredibly personable guy - about how a community develops around art/tech, what it's like to run a store filled with dreamy gear, and what he thinks needs to happen in the music world. This was an in-store interview, so it is a little echo-y, but the interview is well worth it!
