Have you ever chuckled at a mix-up between sacred figures and foot-focused services?

As someone who once served as an altar girl, I'm taking you behind the scenes of religious marketing, only to pivot into revealing how a daring $17,000 investment in leads transformed my agency, Neat, into a revenue-generating powerhouse. You'll hear how we turned this into a whopping $265,000 in sales, offering up a goldmine of insights for entrepreneurs and marketers on the potential of lead purchasing.    Now, let's talk action on leads and sales strategies that aren't just buzzwords but the real deal. With recent price hikes making waves in 2024, I'll tell you why there's no shame in buying leads, cold emailing, or cold calling. We're stripping away the stigma and getting down to business, emphasizing the necessity of a quick draw on hot leads and the art of the close—highlighted by the tale of our team's star closer whose departure tested our resilience.

No matter what stage of business you're at, you've probably at some point questioned yourself when there had been uncertainty around the outcomes of situations. You may have even observed and replicated the actions of others in your industry or have had times where you have had to lean into self-trust to make decisions.    Today I will be talking with Jen Hartmann, the CEO of a boutique marketing consultancy. Jen helps startups and global brands increase their visibility, boost website conversions and drive revenue through innovative marketing strategies! Over the past two years, Jen has run a coaching business, an agency, and an e-commerce Store. In this episode, we will be breaking down a bunch of these topics and discussing how they link up with good leadership.  In this episode, we cover…   How Jen took the plunge from her 9-5 to entrepreneurship The key differences between running a coaching business, eCommerce business, and an agency  Trusting yourself with big decisions  What makes a good leader Dealing with your internal dialogue when it comes to showing up as a leader   "As an entrepreneur and as a leader, you have to take risks. The more risks you take, the more of a tolerance to risk you build, which makes you a much better leader over time. If you were so risk-averse, you are never going to be the best leader that you can possibly be."   "Being a great leader is knowing when to shut up and just letting people talk. It's being able to take a step back and close your mouth, let other people in the room contribute to the conversation, or learn how to ask great questions to pull the best out of the people around you."   "You don't always have to talk to fill a space in a room. You can let other people contribute. I think that's what makes a great leader. Also, feedback from your team or your clients is critical. Many people are afraid of that feedback because they're so afraid it will be negative, which then really hits you in the ego. But as a leader, if you're a great leader, you're open to feedback, and you're open to making changes based on feedback."   Thanks for listening, and if you like what you've heard, feel free to share this episode with your friends!
