Kirk Deis (https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirkdeis/) is our special guest on today's episode of Traffic and Leads Podcast (https://trafficandleadspodcast.com). The founder and CEO of two companies, Kirk understands the importance of strengthening your relationships with your clients. Through trial and error, and an approach that doesn’t overcrowd his clients with messages, Kirk has a strong handle on what it takes to be a good business owner, and a good digital marketer in the process. Let’s get started! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: * The companies that Kirk started! The first is a digital ad agency, called TreeHouse 51. The second is a startup that allows you to diagnose site issues with just one click, entitled Bug Squasher. Kirk also tells us about how Bug Squasher got started, recalling an incident with a client that made him wish there was technology in place that allowed people to check for bugs without putting them on the spot. For the first two weeks, Bug Squasher is free. Afterward, prices start at just $29.99 a month for full usage! * Kirk tells us some of the best secrets when it comes to traffic and lead generation. What he’s found to be successful in investing in people and relationships. They have clients from all around the country, and the majority of the clients they bring in don’t come from marketing as much as they come from clients giving referrals. Kirk also explains the importance of having a solid onboarding process that doesn’t end when you bring clients on. Enforce the relationships, check in on them and let them know about new trends. Additionally, never underestimate the value of free! * Kirk also explains that part of the process is asking for reviews. However, the important part of the process is asking for the reviews in a specific point in the relationship. Don’t do it at the beginning—you haven’t been proven or tested yet, and you want to keep this as human as possible. Do work, have a success story happen, and have something happen that they’re really excited about. Then, after a big milestone, ask them how things are going, and ask for the review. * Kirk explains the importance that this plays in the overall digital marketing process. Kirk uses digital media to enforce relationships—by avoiding meetings and using videos to reach out to clients, they can upsell and find success. Kirk also explains his policy on meetings, stating that usually, they’re used when there’s something wrong with communication, or the process in general. There’s nothing that you can’t just email that they can’t explain, Kirk says. * When it comes to relationships with clients, Kirk warns that you don’t want to become annoying. Don’t send things just to send things—very rarely do people ever want to sign up for meetings. As long as you’re touching base with a report or a status, then there’s no need for meetings. It’s important that you let them know that they’re getting their money’s worth with you, and they need to see that you’re creating value and getting the job done. * Lastly, Kirk explains that truthfully, there’s no difference between his agency and any other agency out there when it comes to the skills they can do. There are only 200 things you can do to your website, after all. However, when you work with Kirk, you’re going to get the product and the experience. It’s going to make you excited to work with them and go through the process. Everything they do is backed on data, so they’re big believers in knowing what to do, and how to do it.

Watch the video of this podcast here. A Brief Introduction to Kirk Deis Kirk Deis is the founder and CEO of Treehouse 51, a digital marketing agency based out of Newport Beach, California. Although the company is relatively young, Kirk and his team have already experienced many of the issues that most of us in the web development and marketing space face with clients. This is how The Bug Squasher came to be. The Bug Squasher Origin Story Kirk was building a website for a client who happened to be an older woman that had very little knowledge of computers. So, when she encountered a problem with the website that Kirk had built, she wrote a tremendously lengthy email to spell out the problem. There were a number of problems with this: The 10,000+ single-spaced words that Kirk says was way too long to read. The client didn’t actually mention what the problem was until about halfway through the email. When she did, she didn’t indicate where it existed on the website as she assumed the developer would automatically know what she was talking about (despite it being a rather sizable site). Email, in general, isn’t the ideal platform to have a discussion of this nature. First, there’s the chance that it could get lost in someone’s inbox or spam folder. Second, there’s the possibility of miscommunication without context or being able to hear someone’s tone of voice. And, thirdly, it can lead to unnecessary and cumbersome back-and-forth. Which is what happened here. The client was very upset that Kirk and his team had to ask a lot of questions in order to figure out where the problem was and, then, determine the circumstances under which she was seeing it. After the ordeal was over, Kirk said: “I wish there were a way to talk to clients without them having to give us all this information.” What Is the Bug Squasher? The Bug Squasher is a simple solution for easing the communication gap that often exists between clients and the WordPress professionals they’ve hired. (Actually, The Bug Squasher now works on all platforms, so it’s not solely relegated to WordPress anymore.) Installation is simple. You just insert a single line of JavaScript into the header of your website. Once it’s implemented, clients will see The Bug Squasher on the frontend of their website. When they take notice of something that needs changing, they can easily grab a screenshot of it, annotate or highlight it, explain the problem, and then submit. And it isn’t just a handy tool for “squashing” bugs. It can be used for general communications related to design, copy, functionality, and so on. Kirk says that browser recording is coming down the pipeline as well, which will make this even more user-friendly than it already is. A Unique Marketing Approach This very podcast came about as a result of Kirk Deis’ marketing efforts. Like most of what he’s doing to bring attention to The Bug Squasher, his goal is to reach a variety of audiences. Podcasts have been one way to do this organically. PPC advertising and Spotify spots are another form of marketing he’s pursued. What WordPress Consultants Need to Know About The Bug Squasher Unlike many project management and issue tracking tools on the market, The Bug Squasher doesn’t limit how many users or development URLs you can use within your account. Each plan covers an entire domain, which is especially nice if you use staging subdomains. In addition, you can connect The Bug Squasher to your project management software (e.g. Asana, Podio, Basecamp), so logged bugs or updates automatically get pushed to your project management email address.
