Podcasts about local marketing

Steve and Brad are back at it with special guest Rachel Gardiner, First Priority Director in North Carolina. In this conversation, Rachel gets real about the challenges and victories of local ministry marketing and storytelling. From navigating unnecessary competition between churches and Clubs to building long-term trust in the community, she shares what she's learned over six years of leading and growing her district. You'll hear how students themselves have become the most powerful storytellers, why authentic partnerships matter more than forced ones, and the creative ways Rachel and her team have engaged parents, pastors, and businesses in the mission. She also opens up about unexpected wins—like students leading bold fundraising efforts during COVID—and practical tips like the “1-2-3 card” that makes connecting with new people simple and effective. This episode is full of encouragement for leaders at every stage. Whether you're brand new to First Priority, a seasoned director, or simply passionate about seeing students reach students, Rachel's wisdom and stories will remind you that the Great Commission is bigger than any one club or organization—and that prayer, persistence, and storytelling are the keys to lasting impact.

Why 90% of Pet Sitters FAIL at Local Marketing for Pet Businesses (The Secret Strategy That Actually Works) What if the biggest thing holding your pet business back... is that no one really knows you exist? If your name doesn't ring a bell in your own community, you're not just missing clients—you're missing credibility, connection, and cash. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on Local Pet Business Marketing—what actually works, what most pet pros are getting wrong, and how you can stand out without feeling awkward or pushy. We'll dive into how to turn your business anniversary into a publicity machine, create buzz through local partnerships, and build instant trust that Google ads can't buy. Plus, I'm sharing real-world wins from petpreneurs in my Mastermind who are becoming local legends—and the exact strategies they used to do it.

Today, we're diving into how you're actually known in your local area. We're going to cover a lot—my goal is to light your brain on fire and give you real examples from your fellow pet business owners who are doing this successfully. Thank you for all the likes, comments, and subscribes! I love hearing from those of you who book a call at jumpconsulting.net/20 and say you found me through the podcast. That makes my heart so happy, because honestly, I'm just sitting in my office talking to a ring light. Knowing you're out there listening makes it all worth it. In my community, we've spent the past month focused on getting your name out there everywhere. Some of what I say might sting a little, but stick with me. This could be the difference between your business thriving or just surviving. Imagine having a bunch of unpaid salespeople out there working for you just because you're known in your community. Are you actually known in your area? There's a book called Known by my friend Mark Schaefer, a great read that ties into today's topic. Being “known” isn't about a logo or being online—it's about walking into a room and people recognizing you and the energy you bring. If that's not happening yet, you're missing out on one of the most powerful, cost-effective tools in business. I get that networking can be uncomfortable. Maybe you don't like being the center of attention, and your ego is blocking you right now. But this isn't about you—it's about your business. Local marketing for pet businesses starts with you being known in your community.

Franchising can be a powerful engine for business growth, but what does it truly take to really be successful in this competitive landscape? In this week's episode, Ford hosts Kathleen Gosser, a prominent figure in the franchising world with an impressive 35-year career. Kathleen's journey began unexpectedly when she answered an ad for a role at Kentucky Fried Chicken, leading to a prolific career that saw her working in various capacities, from franchise advisory councils to leading learning and organizational development at KFC. Her expertise culminated in her current role as the leader of the Yum! Center for Global Franchise Excellence at the University of Louisville. Throughout the episode, Ford and Kathleen discuss key elements that contribute to franchising success, such as the importance of understanding the franchise business model. While franchisors provide extensive training on operating the business and managing the products, there's often a gap in education regarding the franchise model itself. Kathleen emphasizes the need for franchisees to be well-versed in the obligations and expectations from both the franchisor and the franchisee perspectives. Grasping this business model is vital for running a franchise and avoiding common pitfalls in franchising. Ford and Kathleen discuss the necessity for strong operational skills among franchisees. Kathleen shares her observations from her extensive experience, noting that the best franchisees are those who excel in operating their units efficiently. This includes managing back-of-house operations, ensuring food safety, and leading a team effectively. Operational excellence, they agree, is a cornerstone of franchising success. Ford emphasizes the importance of selecting the right franchise partners who align with the brand's values and are committed to following the established systems. Ford and Kathleen touch on the dangers of prioritizing quantity over quality when it comes to franchise growth. Fast expansion in franchising can lead to selecting unsuitable franchisees who may not have the necessary capital or operational skills, ultimately causing more harm than good to the brand. Kathleen and Ford agree there should be a more measured approach, focusing on finding the right partners and growing steadily to ensure long-term success. Exploring the role of AI in franchising brings an intriguing dimension to the episode. Ford and Kathleen discuss how AI is beginning to impact various aspects of the franchise business, from enhancing customer service to optimizing local marketing efforts. They talk about the significant efficiencies AI tools can provide while also acknowledging the new challenges they introduce. This forward-thinking offers a glimpse into the future of franchising and how technology will continue to shape the industry. Kathleen shares valuable insights from her career, illustrating the importance of continuous learning and adaptation in the franchising world. Her work at the Yum! Center for Global Franchise Excellence aims to bridge the education gap in franchising, offering programs for all levels, from undergraduate students to seasoned professionals.

In this podcast episode, Doc Danny shares strategies for introverted physical therapists to excel in local marketing and build a successful cash-based private practice. As an introvert herself, Danny understands the challenges and preferences of introverted individuals, who often thrive on deep connections rather than superficial networking. The key approach for introverts is to focus on building relationships with a select few individuals who align with their personality and views. These relationships can be with other health practitioners, coaches, athletes, or even gym owners who share similar interests. By connecting on a deeper level rather than just through treatment, introverted physical therapists can create a strong support network.    Head to the link below to participate in our 5 Day Challenge!   https://www.physicaltherapybiz.com/challenge   www.physicaltherapybiz.com/apply   Do you enjoy the podcast? If so, leave us a 5-star review on iTunes and tell a friend to do the same!
