CarrotCast | Freedom, Flexibility, Finance & Impact for Real Estate Investors
Most investors miss these deals—here's how Rich turns “trash leads” into big profits. Most wholesalers toss leads that don't fit the typical model. But Rich Wonders figured out how to close over 20 deals a month from the same “dead leads” most people ignore. In this episode, I dive deep into Rich's unique novation strategy, how he qualifies sellers, why small towns are goldmines, and what he does differently to make sellers love the process. If you're tired of chasing cold leads or spending more than you make on PPC, this convo will change the game. I'm all about helping you build a business of freedom and impact—and Rich is living proof it's possible when you simplify, systematize, and focus on what actually works. --------------------- Quotes from the Episode: "Simple scales, fancy fails. I've built everything around that." "We close 20 to 30 deals a month with leads most people throw away." "You don't have to remodel—just deliver the result on a silver platter." --------------------- References and Mentions: novationjv.com Novation King on Instagram & YouTube Brent Daniels / TTP PropStream Think and Grow Rich Outwitting the Devil The Screwtape Letters --------------------- Chapters: 00:00 – Intro: Turning Trash Leads into Deals 01:10 – Meet Rich Wonders + Why This Episode Matters 03:30 – The Power of Follow-Up: Over Half of Rich's Deals 06:00 – How Rich Closes 20–30 Deals a Month 08:45 – Rich's First Real Estate Flop + Lessons Learned 14:10 – From Selling Vacuums to Building a Real Estate Machine 18:20 – The Turning Point: Getting Back on Track 22:05 – Where Rich Gets His Leads (Hint: Other Wholesalers) 26:00 – What Makes a “Trash Lead” Profitable 28:45 – Small Towns = Big Opportunity 32:15 – Rich's 3-Phase Sales Strategy Explained 36:00 – What Sets His Novation Model Apart 40:20 – Lead Qualification: Who's a Fit for Novations? 43:40 – Comping & Making Offers (No Rehab Needed) 49:20 – Why His Model Is Built to Scale 54:00 – Red Flags: When Novations Might Not Work 57:20 – Silver Platter Strategy: Positioning with Sellers 1:01:15 – Seller Psychology & Frame Control Tips 1:05:40 – Real Sales Feedback: What His Team Gets Wrong 1:09:00 – Positioning vs. Chasing: Making Sellers Want You 1:13:30 – Fire Round: Book Recs, Advice, and What Drives Rich 1:20:15 – Final Thoughts + How to Partner with Rich --------------------- ➨Our Evergreen Marketing Podcast: https://plnk.to/Carrot ➨Our CEO, Trevor Mauch's Entrepreneur Freedom Formula Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/EFF ➨ Facebook Group for Evergreen Marketing: https://www.facebook.com/groups/officialcarrotcommunity ➨Subscribe to our YT channel: https://www.youtube.com/@GetCarrot ➨Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/getcarrot/ ➨Take a demo of Carrot.com: https://carrot.ly/GQ8I --------------------- About Us: At Carrot, our vision is to inspire & empower real estate professionals to gain true freedom and make a greater impact with their businesses.

If Amazon ads now feel like a maze of rising CPCs, endless keywords, and dashboards that never sleep, you're not imagining it. The platform has shifted from organic-first to pay to play—and the only sustainable response is smarter execution that blends learning systems with human strategy.We sit down with the CEO of Ava Commerce to unpack what “AI-driven” should actually mean for Amazon and D2C brands. Instead of black-box promises, we explore a configurable approach: let AI learn from your data across campaign creation, bid optimization, dayparting, and keyword negation, but keep owners and PPC leads in control with rules at the store, product, and campaign levels. You'll hear how to tag products into portfolios with different TACOS goals, automate keyword isolation, and sunset underperformers quickly—freeing 65% of the grunt work so humans can focus on decisions that move margin.Context still wins. We break down when to push for top-of-search visibility over strict ACOS, how to pair ads with pricing and promotions to lift conversion, and why creative and SEO matter more than ever for CTR and CVR. We also dig into audience strategy for DSP, where human insight crafts timing and intent—like targeting competitor buyers when they are most likely to repurchase—while AI handles the execution. Beyond ads, we touch on cash discipline through FBA reimbursements and vendor funds recovery, and why unlimited strategic support helps teams turn software into outcomes.If you're ready to scale profit, not just spend, this conversation offers a clear playbook: align creative with conversion, reclaim lost dollars, and deploy configurable AI that learns while you lead. Subscribe, share with a fellow seller who needs a smarter PPC plan, and leave a review with the one lever you're automating first.Ready to scale your Amazon business?

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Build a Better Agency! Host Drew McLellan sits down with Robin Bonn, agency veteran and founder of Codefinery, for a candid conversation that tackles one of the agency world's biggest challenges: true differentiation. Drawing on over two decades of industry experience and insights from his new book, Market of One, Robin unpacks why even the most creative agencies struggle to set themselves apart and how owners can reimagine their businesses for lasting competitive advantage. Drew and Robin delve deep into the heart of agency positioning, debunking the myths and tired tropes that so many firms rely on to claim they're "different." From generic claims about people and creativity to the pitfalls of "category norms," Robin shares why most agencies' attempts at standing out fall flat—and what it really means to create a business model that's as unique as a fingerprint. Listeners will hear practical advice for moving beyond superficial branding tactics and start building what Robin calls a "market of one"—where your agency's true value is clear, tangible, and uncopyable. The episode also explores the often-overlooked role of pricing as a key differentiator, the pervasive fear and herd mentality that keep agencies stuck, and the transformative impact of AI on agency business models. Robin challenges listeners to rethink everything from service offerings to client fit—encouraging leaders to embrace strategy, redefine success beyond just growth, and make bold choices that align with both financial health and personal fulfillment. Tune in if you're ready to move past the sea of sameness and face the future with optimism and intention. By the end of the episode, you'll walk away with actionable questions, a fresh strategic lens, and the inspiration to reshape not just what your agency does, but how—and why—you do it.

Matt leads the marketplace at right side up. Matt has over 12 years of selling experience. He's launched and sold multiple personal brands, all starting from a retail arbitrage budget. Four years ago, he started an agency right Side up to help high growth CPG brands focus on dominating the marketplace. They've been able to scale many brands from 0 to 3 million in monthly sales. Welcome to the podcast, Matt.Matt 00:00:29 Thanks for having me. Josh, how are you doing?Josh 00:00:31 Doing great. What are some of the key things that you, you advise or recommend when launching a brand new product on Amazon that are working today? Because, as you know, a lot of those black hat tactics, you know, have come and gone. you also have the, you know, the rebates that everybody was doing, and now it's kind of leveled the playing field a little bit more. Tell me what you're doing that's been working for you guys.Matt 00:00:55 Yeah. So first off, I think that the biggest thing is making sure you have a big enough budget to launch your products.Matt 00:01:02 like the days of 5 to $10,000 budgets to launch products are just gone in my eyes, at least in the spaces that I work in. so we usually overestimate our budgets by like 20 to 30% of what we actually think it would be just to make sure that we're in a good place in case it doesn't go the way that we want it to. but outside of that, we're looking for a couple of major things. one is we want to see continued growth in the category. Amazon's making that way easier now with like the search query reports, the product Opportunity Explorer. There's so many internal tools that they're giving you access to now that you can really easily find that. And then the other big thing that we're looking for is categories that you've got maybe like 3 or 4 power players in. And by power players they aren't really doing that much. They're still kind of growing, but they're ahead of like the other 20 items there. really it just kind of is showing us that, hey, there's enough sales to go around.Matt 00:02:01 If these four people can all kind of be around the same and customers really don't care which one they're choosing right now, they're just basically picking whichever ones at the top from what we can see. So yeah, we used to go into very heavy like categories where you would just, I mean, like launches would be half 1 million to $1 million. Wow. and if you could make them work. Yeah. The payback is amazing because of the volume that some of those categories do. But if you lose, like, it absolutely sucks. so for sure, what we're looking at like 50 to $75,000, to launch a product right now and the supplement space that we're kind of going after, and we've seen it, it's kind of the sweet spot for everything. so if we do find a product and we think it's going to cost more than that to actually launch it, we'll hold off for a bit and see if we can find some other ones that are within our kind of thresholds.Josh 00:02:53 That makes sense.Josh 00:02:54 So how do you estimate, you know, that budget, right. What's the difference between a half 1 million to $1 million product launch budget versus something that's 50 to $75,000? And how do you estimate that?Matt 00:03:07 Yeah. So the the biggest thing is ads. I mean, we've really in the last like three months, all of our launches have been almost exclusively on Amazon through Amazon Ads. so we're pulling averages of cost per clicks through the advertising API and really just looking at, okay, what is the conversion rate of the top products? If we wanted to spend to get that conversion rate on that keyword, like what would it cost us per day and working that backwards? the other big thing that I don't know anyone else that's kind of touched on this, but what we what we've been doing here recently is we have a seller account where we'll create the product beforehand. It's not the product that we're actually going to sell. We'll put some items as merchant fulfilled, and then we'll just have ourselves by the products.Matt 00:03:54 So that way we get all the search query report data for that product before we actually launch it.Josh 00:03:58 Oh, that's that's fascinating. So you do that in a separate account then? Is that what you're saying?Matt 00:04:03 We've been doing it in the same account, just like a different brand name. and throw up a listing merchant fulfilled and do a couple buys through it, and then you get all that data.Josh 00:04:14 Intere...

Artificial intelligence isn't just changing how people find information, it's rewriting the rules of search altogether. Today's featured guest is already running AI audits for his clients; he thinks all agency owners should be doing this. He'll unpack what AI optimization really means for agencies, marketers, and business owners who've lived and breathed SEO for decades. Vishal Mahida is the Director of Digital Marketing at E2M Solutions, where he helps over 100 agencies scale their SEO and digital marketing operations. With a 40+ person team specializing in SEO, PPC, and operations support, Vishal works directly with agencies on systems that drive measurable growth and keep them ahead of major shifts in the industry. In this episode, we'll discuss: SEO vs. AI Optimization No, SEO is not dead, so your website still matters. Preparing your agency and clients for AI search. Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio The Difference Between SEO and AI Optimization There's a lot of buzz around how AI has come to change and maybe even replace SEO. Vishal clarifies that AI optimization isn't replacing SEO, it's expanding it. Traditional SEO focused primarily on optimizing for Google rankings, keywords, and backlinks. The goal was to get traffic from search results. But as Vishal explains, the modern search landscape has fragmented. Users are now searching on multiple platforms including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude, not just Google. This shift means brands must move beyond "ranking on Google" and focus on being visible wherever their audience searches for information. Whether someone asks ChatGPT for "the best roofers in Austin" or Google's AI mode for "running shoes under $5,000," AI systems are gathering and summarizing information across multiple sources in real time, including social platforms like Reddit, Quora, and LinkedIn. Think about it as building a multimedia visibility strategy and ensuring your brand, expertise, and answers exist across platforms that large language models (LLMs) pull from. "You're not optimizing for one search engine anymore," he says. "You're optimizing for how the internet talks about you." Why Your Website Still Matters in the AI Era Will websites become irrelevant if AI answers everything for users? According to Vishal, websites won't disappear, they'll evolve. Think of them as your source of truth rather than your traffic generator. When AI summarizes answers for users, it still references real content and authoritative sources. So, your website remains essential for credibility, events, and conversion, even if fewer users arrive there through traditional search. For instance, if someone asks ChatGPT about agency growth events in Austin, and you've mentioned your event across social media, your website, and podcasts, AI will likely include it in the results. "That's how people find you now," Vishal agrees. "Not just through search but through signals from every platform." Of course, you should still think about the content you're putting out on your website. Are you answering the questions that people are asking? Or you just optimizing for the keywords. Optimizing for the keywords won't work. People will ask LLMs questions and if you're already answering them on your content there are more chances that AI results will find you and list your website. Redefining Reporting and KPIs for Agencies One of the biggest challenges agencies face is explaining to clients why organic traffic might be dropping even as visibility increases. Why? Traditional SEO metrics no longer tell the whole story. So how to report back? Basically, you'll need to educate clients and start measuring mentions, citations, and referrals coming from AI platforms. Vishal suggests tracking LLM bot hits in server logs and monitoring whether AI crawlers are visiting key pages. These indicators reveal your brand's visibility in AI-generated results. While raw traffic might decline, the quality of leads and conversions often improves. "You might get fewer leads," he says, "but they'll be more qualified, because AI searchers are deeper in their intent." Leads from AI chats tend to be more serious buyers who have already researched their problems. The shift, then, isn't a loss but rather an opportunity to educate clients on new performance indicators that reflect where users actually search today. Preparing Your Agency and Clients for AI Search When it comes to optimizing for AI, Vishal recommends a hybrid approach: combine solid technical SEO fundamentals with a new layer of AI-readiness. This includes making sure your site is clean, crawlable, and structured properly, while also ensuring your brand has visibility across other platforms. At E2M, Vishal's team runs AI search audits to check how often their clients' brands appear in LLM answers. They even query ChatGPT and Perplexity directly to see what those systems say about them and their competitors. From there, they reverse-engineer visibility by identifying which platforms, podcasts, or publications help brands get cited more often by AI. Mentions on Reddit, Quora, and podcasts count, even if they're not linked, because they help build trust signals that LLMs detect. Agencies, Vishal says, can sell these as AI search audits, AI content audits, or full AI optimization packages — new recurring revenue streams that build on their SEO expertise. The Human Edge in an AI-Driven World Agencies can't afford to be "order takers" who wait for clients to bring up AI. If your clients are asking about AI before you bring it up, you're already behind. Instead, agencies should position themselves as trusted advisors who help clients navigate the shift confidently. So go to your clients and start those conversations, or you WILL be replaced by AI. At the end of the day, people still want connection, which is why both Jason and Vishal agree that AI will never replace the human element and the strategy, empathy, and creativity that come from real human connection. People will always want someone that can help guide them through the new marketing trends. As Vishal puts it, "Business owners don't have time to learn all this. They want someone they trust to handle it." AI might make average easier, but connection, data, and network will always be your edge.

What if the hundreds of leads in your CRM aren't the opportunity you think they are? In this revealing episode of The Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams take a hard look at the reality of lead management in today's automotive industry. They unpack the costly truth behind what they call "dumb dealer math", where dealerships chase inflated numbers, waste money on poorly optimized lead sources, and mistake activity for true sales opportunities. "Your CRM is your central nervous system. It is not just a lead tool; it's your customer relationship management tool." - Sean V. Bradley Sean and LA dig deep into the difference between data that looks good and data that actually sells cars. They expose why metrics like SRPs and VDPs can be misleading, how poor CRM habits drain profits, and what really separates top-performing dealerships from the rest. "But as long as they (dealers) are making more money than they're spending, they think to themselves, I got other problems I got to deal with." - Sean V. Bradley But they don't stop there. The duo explores how smart dealers are diversifying their lead sources, leveraging proven partners like AutoWeb and CarsDirect, and building systems that turn leads into lifelong customers. If you've ever wondered why your lead volume isn't matching your results, or how to fix it, this episode will change the way you think about sales opportunities, metrics, and money in your dealership. It's not about getting more leads. It's about doing more with the ones you already have. Key Takeaways: ✅ Dealers often struggle with too many leads without an effective team or strategy to manage them, resulting in missed opportunities. ✅ Focusing solely on website metrics like SRPs and VDPs without actual lead conversion can lead to wasted resources and efforts. ✅ Proper planning, preparation, and training are crucial to overcoming common pitfalls in lead management and maximizing sales success. ✅ Diversifying lead sources through third-party providers can help dealerships attain a balanced, risk-minimized approach to lead acquisition and management. ✅ A well-integrated CRM system is essential for understanding prospects, meeting their expectations, and creating valuable customer relationships. About Sean V. Bradley Sean V. Bradley is a renowned expert in the automotive sales industry, currently serving as the President of Dealer Synergy. With over 27 years of experience, Sean is also a certified CSP and a best-selling author of "Win the Game of Googleopoly." Known for his innovative strategies in lead management and CRM, Sean has been a key influence in transforming car dealerships across the nation, making him a sought-after consultant and trainer in automotive sales. About LA Williams LA Williams is the Vice President at Dealer Synergy and the co-creator of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast. Known as the "Blind Master" for his unique perspective and insights, LA has a history of excellence in leveraging technology and training methodologies to increase sales and efficiencies in car dealerships. Maximizing Dealership Success: Unleashing the Power of Leads, Marketing, and CRM Strategies In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, success hinges on mastering the art of lead management, astute marketing strategies, and the effective use of CRM technology. Sean V. Bradley, CSP, and his insightful conversations with LA Williams underscore the urgent need for dealerships to refine these aspects for consistent growth. This article distills the core themes from their engaging discussion, highlighting how dealerships can transform potential challenges into opportunities. Strategic Lead Management: Pinpointing and capitalizing on quality leads rather than succumbing to distraction. Diverse Marketing Approaches: Balancing investment between the dealership's website and external lead sources to mitigate risk. Advanced CRM Integration: Leveraging CRM systems to optimize prospect engagement and relationship development. Strategic Lead Management In today's automotive industry, the ability to effectively manage leads is crucial. Sean V. Bradley's discussion about dealerships being overwhelmed with leads hits home for many. He describes a common scenario: "You guys have so many leads, so many buyers, and not enough people." Overwhelming lead volume without sufficient staff can result in missed opportunities and wasted resources. Bradley's advice on categorizing leads into existing prospects and carryover prospects is significant. He provides a vivid illustration of a common oversight: "If you have 1,000 fresh leads a month, you're not going to start the first day of the month with zero." Instead, dealerships should consider the cumulative effect of carryover leads. Creating a structured approach to handling these varying lead types ensures that sales teams don't become inundated and fail to capitalize on genuine sales potentials. The importance of preparation and understanding the buying cycle underscores the critical need for dealerships to adopt refined lead management strategies. As Bradley emphasizes, "The average buying cycle for a new car is 90 days." Knowing this, dealerships must adjust their follow-up processes to align with the customer's timeline, thereby maximizing conversion chances. Diverse Marketing Approaches A key theme reinforced by Bradley and Williams is the fallacy of putting all marketing funds into a dealership's website. Bradley cautions against such myopic strategies: "It makes no sense to spend a little bit of money on the website but spend a fortune on ads or crap that drives traffic." Instead, he advocates for a diversified marketing approach akin to a mutual fund strategy, where investments are spread across multiple lead sources to minimize risk and maximize exposure. This diversified strategy includes the use of third-party lead providers like AutoWeb and Cars Direct, which offer an attractive cost-benefit ratio. Bradley highlights this by noting, "You should be able, if you're brand new or you're underperforming, to handle about 80 to 100 fresh Internet leads max." This targeted approach ensures that dealerships can maintain lead quality while benefiting from a sustainable and predictable lead flow. Integrating different marketing facets, such as search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, and social media campaigns, allows dealerships to reach a broader audience while retaining flexibility. This blend of strategies not only improves lead quality but also aligns marketing spending with tangible results. Advanced CRM Integration for Optimal Customer Engagement The integration of CRM technology in lead management cannot be overstated. A recurring theme in Bradley's discussion is the imperative for dealerships to leverage CRM systems as a central nervous system. With compelling clarity, he describes the potential of CRMs to enhance customer relationships from "inception of the prospect." A robust CRM system is more than just a tool for managing leads. It offers invaluable insights into customer behavior and preferences, enabling personalized communication strategies. Bradley advises on the strategic setup of CRMs: "It needs to be optimized the right way." This involves structuring automated emails, video messages, and task reminders to ensure that no lead is left unengaged. The synergy between CRM systems, human resources, and AI is especially transformative. Bradley explains, "Your CRM, your human resources, and your AI should all be designed and architected interdependently." This triad approach not only enhances operational efficiency but also cultivates deep customer relationships, ultimately driving sales and fostering long-term loyalty. Dealerships that embrace this comprehensive CRM strategy are better positioned to navigate the complexities of customer interactions, ensuring that every engagement is as personalized and impactful as possible. To truly thrive in the modern automotive landscape, dealerships must embrace a multi-faceted approach that integrates strategic lead management, diversified marketing practices, and advanced CRM solutions. By doing so, they can transform challenges into opportunities, ensuring sustained growth and customer satisfaction. As Bradley insightfully advocates, a dealership's success is significantly enhanced when it masters these key areas, preparing itself to meet and exceed customer expectations consistently.

Dentro del mundo del comercio electrónico, pocos caminos resultan tan desafiantes —y al mismo tiempo tan rentables— como el de trabajar directamente con marcas. José González, especialista en e-commerce y creador del sistema Amazon Wholesale 360°, ha convertido esa estrategia en el corazón de su método. Desde 2018 ayuda a emprendedores de toda Latinoamérica a construir negocios sólidos en Amazon, y lo hace con una premisa clara: todo comienza con el nicho correcto: "Primero debes enfocarte en un nicho. Amazon es demasiado grande y hay muchísimas categorías. Por eso debemos encontrar un nicho donde poder ofrecer algo más que simplemente una reventa". Ese primer paso es clave para construir relaciones reales con las marcas. José recomienda aprovechar los contactos existentes o aliados estratégicos para ganar visibilidad en los primeros acercamientos: "Puedes apoyarte en un amigo que tenga una empresa de distribución en Latinoamérica para que las marcas te presten atención en el primer contacto". Pero su estrategia va más allá del simple acceso: se basa en identificar oportunidades desaprovechadas. "Trato de encontrar marcas cuya presencia en Amazon sea muy mala, pero que tengan ventas orgánicas", comenta. Herramientas como SmartScout le permiten analizar cuánto invierte cada marca en publicidad y detectar aquellas que, sin invertir en ads, venden entre 20 y 50 mil dólares mensuales. "Si a una marca le está yendo bien y no tiene un trabajo de PPC, cualquier publicidad que le hagas va a tener un aumento de ventas del 30 o el 40 por ciento", afirma. A medida que el trabajo en un nicho se consolida, el siguiente paso es construir credibilidad: "A medida que vas trabajando en un nicho puedes construir un portafolio y puedes usar las otras empresas con las que trabajas como referencia, y eso llama muchísimo la atención". Esa reputación se convierte en una carta de presentación ante nuevas marcas, y permite aspirar a colaboraciones más grandes. "Trato de buscar marcas con las que pueda tener una conversación, que no estén tan lejos de los 100 mil dólares al mes en ventas. Para una persona que está empezando quizás no sea tan sencillo, pero pueden bajar de rango y que sea de 0 a 20 mil dólares", sostiene. José insiste en que definir el nicho no es un ejercicio teórico, sino una decisión práctica basada en las relaciones y el conocimiento: "Vas a definir el nicho de acuerdo a lo que conoces y a quién conoces, porque así se te va a hacer la vida muchísimo más fácil, y eso te hace cruzar la barrera de emprendedor amateur". Identificar las industrias donde uno ya tiene experiencia o contactos abre puertas, genera confianza y facilita las negociaciones. Sin embargo, entrar al mercado de las marcas no es tarea fácil: "El 95 por ciento de las marcas te van a decir que no". Para destacar entre miles de vendedores, es necesario ir un paso más allá de la simple reventa. José aconseja invertir tiempo en capacitarse y desarrollar una propuesta de valor basada en resultados. En su caso, el modelo de colaboración que propone es simple y transparente. "Cuando trabajo con una marca, no le cobro un fee por encargarme de todo el trabajo de Amazon. Invierto de mis profits un porcentaje en PPC y, si yo logro las ventas esperadas, pido la exclusividad. Ellos quieren ver qué es lo que tú puedes hacer", asegura. Ese enfoque, basado en demostrar resultados, es lo que le permite negociar acuerdos exclusivos. Pero también requiere estrategia: "Cuando inviertes en la publicidad, los otros vendedores se pueden beneficiar. Entonces el tema de la Buy Box ahí no es tan rentable porque le vas a generar ventas orgánicas a ellos. Sin embargo, si creas un listado nuevo con el nombre de la marca y te encargas de posicionarlo, no te va a pasar eso, y ellos van a ver tus habilidades". Con resultados tangibles sobre la mesa, José atestigua que es posible hablar de exclusividad con las marcas en tan solo seis meses. Al final, trabajar directamente con marcas en Amazon no se trata solo de vender más, sino de construir relaciones a largo plazo basadas en confianza, datos y resultados. Para José, la clave está en la constancia y en atreverse a ofrecer algo más que un producto: ofrecer crecimiento. Instagram: @josecomm
This episode tackles the most urgent issues retail clients are facing right now: exploding costs and profound market uncertainty.Hosts Mike Ryan and Chris dive into the alarming trend of increasing CPCs (Cost Per Click), which are soaring at rates of up to 30% in key categories. Chris calls these increases a "fucking pain in the ass" and a potential "business destroyer," especially for businesses with paper-thin margins. They debate whether Google is responsible or if it's purely a market-level crisis, and why Google must find a solution to prevent mid-sized players from running out of money.The second major theme is the AI search disruption. The hosts discuss the pervasive uncertainty among retailers—from small shops to enterprise clients—about the future of search behavior and the need for a stronger Data Density strategy. They reveal the huge structural change that the average search query in AI mode is 2.5x longer than in standard search. Finally, they discuss the evolving role of the PPC manager, emphasizing the need for system thinking and an openness to human-machine collaboration to thrive.About smec (Smarter Ecommerce): At smec - Smarter Ecommerce, we specialize in transforming business goals into optimized ad campaigns.

Welcome to another insightful episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan welcomes renowned author, speaker, and client experience expert Neen James for a thought-provoking discussion that will challenge agency leaders to rethink how they deliver value. Together, they explore the concept of "luxury" in the context of client service and agency culture—not just as something exclusive or material, but as a mindset centered on attention, connection, and making others feel truly seen and valued. Neen shares the findings from her latest book and a groundbreaking research study that uncovers four distinct "luxury mindsets." She explains how every agency, regardless of size or specialty, can elevate their client experience by understanding these mindsets and tailoring interactions to meet (and exceed) unique client expectations. Through vivid examples drawn from luxury brands and her own experiences consulting for CEOs, Neen demonstrates how agencies can create a sense of belonging and reward for their clients, making every client touchpoint feel like a delightful, memorable experience. Drew and Neen also dive into practical strategies for agency owners to foster a culture of "systematized thoughtfulness." From reimagining yourself and your team as concierges rather than order-takers, to implementing routines that ensure consistent, meaningful outreach to clients and internal teams, Neen offers actionable advice for embedding luxury-level attention into daily operations. They also discuss the significance of empowering team members, the importance of internal culture in reflecting client experience, and creative ways to find "champagne moments" in both everyday interactions and brand touchpoints. If you're ready to stand out in a crowded marketplace, retain happier clients and employees, and transform ordinary agency processes into extraordinary experiences, this episode is not to be missed. By the end, you'll have fresh inspiration and tangible tactics to make your agency a place where both clients and team members feel genuinely valued—every single day.

Karly Scott, Manager of Client Services at Logical Position, leads an enterprise-level PPC strategy focused on sustained growth, experimentation, and brand impact. In this episode, she explains how Logical Position supports brands from small startups to those generating over $50 million by managing PPC, Amazon, email, and social media campaigns. The agency's success comes from its strong relationships with partners like Google and Meta, its people-first culture, and its focus on data-driven marketing that adapts to the fast-changing AI-driven landscape. Karly highlights that effective digital marketing requires patience, testing, and diversification across multiple platforms. She shares how one client, Cushion Lab, scaled from $15,000 in ad spend to millions in sales through experimentation and a multichannel strategy. She also urges businesses to invest in creative content and video, emphasizing that consumers now trust YouTube and visual media during research. Her message is clear: if your digital presence isn't optimized across AI, SEO, and paid media, you're missing opportunities to be seen when it matters most. Quotes: “Marketing is so centered in math and data and numbers. I went into that industry thinking one thing and came out very, very different.” “If you're unwilling to take some risks when it comes to digital advertising, you're going to quickly fall behind.” “If you aren't there during the research phase, you sure as heck are not going to be there during the purchasing phase.” Resources: Connect with Karly Scott on LinkedIn Explore Karly Scott's expertise and professional insights

Welcome to a crucial episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan is joined once again by Craig Cody, a seasoned CPA and tax advisor renowned for his expertise in agency financial management. Drew and Craig jump straight into a timely and essential topic for every agency owner—the recent changes to 401k regulations that could have significant implications for your agency's compliance, retirement planning, and year-end financial strategy. Craig breaks down the new federal requirements affecting catch-up contributions to 401ks for anyone earning over $145,000, making the conversation immediately relevant for agency leaders and employees in higher income brackets. Together, Drew and Craig outline the steps agencies must take before the end of 2025 to avoid unpleasant surprises and penalties in 2026, including the need to ensure Roth provisions are set up within existing 401k plans and the importance of proactive compliance with auto-enrollment rules. The pair go beyond the headline changes, discussing how these adjustments affect not just owners, but also employees, and the risks agencies run if these details get overlooked. Listeners will also learn about valuable tax credits available for agencies that recently launched a 401k plan, as well as common tax strategies and deductions that many agency owners miss. Craig shares advice on how to make the most of tax planning meetings, the importance of documenting deductions, and how shifting from a simple IRA to a 401k can yield significant financial and retirement benefits for both owners and staff. Don't let year-end compliance slip through the cracks—this episode is packed with actionable insights you need to update your retirement plans, review your tax strategies, and make informed decisions before another fiscal year closes. If you want to keep more of the money you make, provide competitive benefits, and avoid costly mistakes, you won't want to miss Craig's expert guidance.
