Your sales funnel can only work if you know where your leads are coming from — and how to make the most of each source.

In this episode, I break down the four core lead source categories, demystify the biggest marketplace players, and help you prioritize what's worth your time (and what isn't). We cover: The four main types of coworking lead sources: organic traffic, member referrals, brokers, and marketplaces What platforms like Deskpass, LiquidSpace, Gable, and Peerspace actually do — and who they're best for Why your Google Business Profile may be your most valuable (and underutilized) lead source The truth about Flexspace.ai, how it works, and how it's not a lead gen platform How to track your lead sources effectively and decide which platforms deserve your attention If you've ever wondered whether marketplaces are worth it or how to build a lead strategy that actually converts — this episode is your roadmap.

What does it take to scale from a 38-unit syndication to 33,000 units across six states—and still never lose investor capital? Jeff Gleiberman of MG Properties breaks it down. In this episode, Jeff shares the core principles that helped his family-run firm grow into one of the top 50 apartment owners in the U.S. You'll hear how they've weathered multiple market cycles, why they're buying newer assets right now, and how disciplined underwriting, fixed-rate debt, and vertical integration have become their unfair advantages. Whether you're raising capital, comparing asset classes, or trying to read the market—this episode is required listening.Key TakeawaysFrom Family Syndication to Institutional ScaleStarted with a single 38-unit deal and scaled to 33,000 units over 30+ years.Built trust and momentum through word of mouth and disciplined execution.Added institutional capital partners while staying grounded in syndication fundamentals.Grew from a home office to over 1,000 employees with fully integrated operations.How MG Navigates Market CyclesSurvived and thrived through the S&L crisis, dot-com bust, GFC, COVID, and today's rate shock.Adapted strategy for each cycle—moving from value-add to core-plus when needed.Buys below replacement cost today to minimize downside and maximize long-term upside.Maintains focus on fixed-rate, long-term debt and low leverage to protect investor capital.Why Vertical Integration is a Competitive AdvantageIn-house property management, asset management, and construction management from day one.Enables real-time decision-making, tighter expense control, and stronger performance in down markets.Allowed the firm to pivot quickly during COVID and deliver consistent returns.How to Attract Serious Capital (Without Chasing High IRRs)Always invests 10–20% of their own capital into each deal—creating strong alignment.Focuses on risk-adjusted returns, not marketing inflated projections.Educates investors on cycles, deal structure, and realistic expectations to build long-term trust.Current Strategy: Core-Plus Over Value-AddAcquiring newer, well-located properties at 30–40% discounts to replacement cost.Cash flow is lower today—but risk is also lower, and long-term upside is strong.Value-add deals don't pencil right now due to rent compression and renovation risk—but they will again.The Discipline Behind $1.8B in Acquisitions (In a Down Market)Maintains a consistent buy box and underwriting discipline—despite competition and volatility.Relies on lender relationships, low-cost insurance, and scale advantages to stay competitive.Sticks to one asset class—multifamily—and executes at a high level, deal after deal.Connect with Jeffmgproperties.com Connect with MichaelFacebookInstagramYouTubeTikTokResourcesTheFreedomPodcast.com Access the #1 FREE Apartment Investing Course (Apartments 101)

Today we're getting into how acquisition offers - particularly in pop-ups - can do much more than drive opt-ins. The type of offer you lead with shapes who you acquire, how much they spend, and future LTV. We share examples from the offers we run on our brands, comparing blanket discounts with offers like cashback and second-order incentives, and how those choices impacted retention, AOV, and customer lifetime value.We also discuss why some offers that looked successful on the surface ended up hurting long-term performance or creating poor customer experiences, and how simple changes led to big lifts in repeat purchase rate. We also touch on whywhy very few teams are testing their pop-ups rigorously, what makes offer testing difficult, and how to build an approach that's aligned with long-term goals - not just short-term wins.We also dig into Meta's recent performance trends, using the latest data from the Haus report. We share what they're seeing across ASC and manual campaigns, how different optimization strategies are playing out, and why it's getting harder to rely on Meta as a consistent acquisition engine.Want to submit your own DTC or ecommerce marketing question? ⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here⁠⁠⁠⁠.Operators Podcast Episode 123: The Meta Incrementality Report: Lessons from 640 Haus Experiments Chapters:00:00 Introduction 02:34 The Power of Cash Back Offers05:28 Data-Driven Insights on Pop-Up Offers08:19 Retention Metrics and Customer Engagement11:06 Testing Methodologies for Pop-Up Offers14:19 Holistic Approaches to Customer Acquisition17:14 Innovative Second Order Offers20:05 Challenges in Optimizing First Touch Points26:10 Future Trends in E-commerce Offers35:43 Optimizing Data Reporting and Analysis38:00 Evolving Marketing Strategies and Cash Back Offers41:05 Insights from Meta's Campaign Performance Report44:52 Understanding Incrementality in Marketing49:04 Navigating Meta's Advertising Changes54:43 Leveraging Bundle Builders for Increased ConversionsFinance Operators Episode: How CashBack beats discount codes & More with Dan GlazerPowered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsRivo.https://www.rivo.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

Topics:Hybrid Model: PE + Search FundA Strong Operator ProfileEquity & Structure in Operator Deals...and so much more.Top TakeawaysSuccession is one of the biggest overlooked opportunities in the lower middle market. Over 50% of small business owners in the U.S. are nearing retirement age, but many lack a clear succession plan. For investors and operators, that's an opportunity. Firms like Novastone Partners are targeting founder-owned businesses with $15M–$40M in enterprise value, where the right leadership transition can unlock serious value.Founders trust operators who've walked in their shoes. Founders want someone they can trust to take over. That's why industry veterans often have an advantage. Operators in their 40s or 50s, with 20+ years in the same industry, can have peer-to-peer conversations with sellers from day one. They're seen as real successors, not just financial buyers.The search will test you more than the acquisition itself. The search phase is where most aspiring buyers drop off. It's long, unstructured, and full of dead ends. Even great operators can struggle if they underestimate how different sourcing is from leading. Don't go it alone. Look for models like Novastone's that offer salary, hands-on deal support, and a team to help with sourcing, outreach, and diligence. About Maxwell TaylorMaxwell Taylor is Managing Director at Novastone Partners, where he leads operator selection, platform development, and deal execution. With a background in private equity and experience working with mid-career executives, Max helps bridge the gap between operators and business ownership. About Novastone PartnersNovastone Partners is an operator-led buyout firm focused on solving the succession crisis in the lower middle market. The firm backs experienced industry executives to acquire and grow founder-owned businesses with $15M–$40M in enterprise value. Since 2020, Novastone has backed over 70 operators and closed 24+ acquisitions.

When we heard Eric Seufert talk at the Meta Summit we knew we had to have him on the show.Eric is the founder of Mobile Dev Memo and partner at Heracles Capital, and he joins us today for a deep dive into how today's smartest marketers approach measurement. We unpack the difference between deterministic and probabilistic attribution, why incrementality testing beats last-click reporting, and how to make sense of CAC, LTV, and payback periods across different business models. Eric shares insights on Meta's evolving AI infrastructure, signal loss, and platform opacity, explaining why a single tool can't give you the full picture, and why the greatest marketers are the ones that think like data scientists. He also introduces the concept of signal engineering: how to guide automated ad platforms by sending higher-quality signals and intent data.If you're enjoying the podcast, please hit the subscribe button, comment, share and like - it helps us reach more people, get more great guests on the show and keep bringing these episodes to you every week.Want to submit your own DTC or ecommerce marketing question? ⁠⁠⁠Click here⁠⁠⁠.00:00 Introduction 06:42 The Role of Discord in Gaming Advertising09:21 Eric's Journey in the Gaming Industry19:04 Understanding Freemium Models in Mobile Gaming26:08 Incentivized Advertising in Gaming29:55 Understanding Measurement Tools in Advertising30:24 Deterministic vs. Probabilistic Measurement33:14 Attribution Models and Measurement Tools39:16 Geo Lift Studies and Their Application43:03 Common Sense in Marketing Measurement54:10 Operationalizing Incrementality Testing56:25 Understanding Incrementality and Testing Strategies01:00:33 Navigating the Meta Ecosystem and AI Changes01:06:40 Signal Engineering and Optimizing for Conversions01:09:44 Radical Experimentation in Creative Strategies01:21:55 Breaking Out of Targeting LoopsMeta's AI advertising playbook (with Matt Steiner):https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/season-5-episode-23-metas-ai-advertising-playbook-with/id1423753783?i=1000711081020Powered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here:https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

On Friday, central Texas, near San Antonio, was hit by what officials are calling a "100‑year flood." Heavy downpours caused a deadly 30‑plus-foot surge on the Guadalupe River and catastrophic flash flooding. Nearly 90 people have been killed and dozens remain missing. Search and rescue operations continued Monday as more heavy rain threatens the region. Operators of Camp Mystic, a century-old summer camp in the Texas Hill Country, said they lost 27 campers and counselors, confirming their worst fears after a wall of water slammed into cabins built along the edge of the Guadalupe River.Authorities vowed that one of the next steps will be investigating whether enough warnings were issued and why some camps did not evacuate or move to higher ground in areas long vulnerable to flooding.Want to support 1A?
