Leading Otter Leads hailed #1 in G2, UpCity, and Clutch, he pioneers B2B lead generation. A health influencer, Jay studied at NYC's medical school after the University of Florida.

We all know the value of engaging and activating existing customers versus having to go out and pay handsomely to attract new ones. So what's the best way to achieve this? Well, according to the 2023 email marketing survey from UpCity, it's by focusing on email marketing as a primary channel.

The Pollfish survey commissioned by UpCity found that just 44% of businesses currently have an SEO strategy in place and 34% have made it a priority to do so in 2022. Pat Ahern has been working since 2012 on building bootstrapped businesses. Most failed. "I've learned a lot from those failures. In 2016, I started what is now Intergrowth, an SEO-centric content marketing agency. We bootstrapped Intergrowth from 2 to 50 people over the next 5 years. I've spoken on a dozen different podcast interviews, written for publications ranging from Content Marketing Institute to Recruiter.com, and been quoted by dozens of other publications. The areas that I speak to most often are SEO, content marketing, building a professional service business, and building a bootstrapped business. Outside of that, I can also speak to hiring advice, management advice, and advice for building marketing strategies." He joined me this week to tell me more.

Welcome to another episode of The HERO Show. I am your host Richard Matthews (@AKATheAlchemist), and you are listening to episode 216 with Chris Pistorius – An Individualized Marketing Care for Your Success. Chris Pistorius is the founder of https://kickstartdental.com/ (Kickstart Dental Marketing)—a full-service dental marketing agency, born out of the idea that they can help dentists & orthodontists win online by providing excellent marketing strategy, creativity, and leveraging technology to get great results. While Chris specializes in dental marketing, other medical professionals, marketers, entrepreneurs, and businesses can learn from his digital marketing experience of over 15 years. Chris has worked with countless local business owners, in all industries, across multiple facets of marketing, consulting, and coaching. Chris has built his local digital marketing agency into one of the top marketing agencies in the country, as listed on UpCity, SEO For Growth, DesignRush, Expertise & AgencyVista. Here's just a taste of what we talked about today:https://drive.google.com/file/d/17MdBPiLknuOYz-X-nnNNSoi_arU7dtfy/view?usp=sharing (The Superpower of Developing the Offers & Getting Right into the Market)Chris's superpower is the ability to connect consumers with dentists. He has a knack for understanding who their clients specifically want to reach. One of the first things they do with a campaign is to create a new patient avatar, where they figure out exactly to whom their client's target market is aimed. Through the years, they have gained a good track record of coming up with profiles and putting their clients' messages in front of those demographics. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1158xrDn50vzdSakYgPPsrntl-Ik0xAVD/view?usp=sharing (Driving Force: Bringing Truth to People)Chris's driving force is to make sure people know the truth and would know the difference between agencies who are just looking to make a quick buck and agencies, like Kickstart, who really help a dentist grow and increase their bottom line. Their goal is for dentists to spend more time with their families and go on more vacations. An agency should really be concerned about that and not where their credit card goes through every month. Other Topics We Covered on the Show:We get to know what Chris is known for, the people he serves in his business, and the services they provide. Then, Chris shared his origin story. Seeing most dentists thoroughly confused with online marketing strategies led him to build his own marketing agency. Chris shares how he transfers the alchemy skill in marketing to his team. Being a perfectionist has been Chris's fatal flaw in his business. He overcame this flaw by letting go and trusting people to handle some business processes. Chris's common enemy in his business is expectations. Most of their clients expect immediate or instant results. They fight to overcome this enemy by reminding them great marketing campaigns do not happen overnight. In terms of business, Josh Nelson from Seven Figure Agency has been one of Chris's personal heroes, including the show Entourage. Lastly, Chris's guiding principle in his business is to leave their clients better than when they found them.

Your customers don't hate you. Get more reviews. Social proof is the SINGLE GREATEST selling tool we have. Yet we all suck at it. I preach this to every MSP I talk to, yet.. crickets. Just because your client was angry that one time, doesn't mean they won't leave you a 5-star review. We're in technology. I doubt you have a single client that hasn't had at least one frustrating experience. Don't let that hinder you from asking for a review! Google reviews, social media reviews, Indeed reviews, UpCity reviews; check out this episode for the best ways to ask for reviews and build your credibility.

Using Listings To Expand The Reach Of Your MSP To thrive in the MSP industry, you need to obsess over what's next. UpCity, Clutch, and Google My Business are the latest in business listings. I was skeptical at first, but getting our MSP listed can now be attributed to multiple closed deals and tons of goodwill with our clients. Listen to find out how you can get started listing your MSP and reaping the benefits.

“Find something that you're excited about and take action.” Chris Pistorius Every business regardless of the industry it operates, needs good marketing in order to thrive and remain sustainable. Chris Pistorius has been helping businesses promote their businesses using online marketing, and says that it is important for businesses to understand their target audience before going out to do marketing. Chris Pistorius is the founder of KickStart Dental Marketing. While Chris specializes in dental marketing, other medical professionals, marketers, entrepreneurs, and businesses can learn from his digital marketing experience of over 15 years.  Chris has worked with countless local business owners in all industries across multiple facets of marketing, consulting, and coaching.

He's also the author of “The Ultimate Guide to Internet Marketing for Dentists.” Chris resides in the Denver, CO area with his wife Michele, and two kids, Kaitlyn & Brody.

Social Media Handles www.kickstartdental.com  https://www.linkedin.com/in/pistorius/ https://twitter.com/KickStartDental https://www.facebook.com/kickstartdentalmarketing Book: The Ultimate Guide to Internet Marketing for Dentists: All You Need to Know to Effectively Market Your Dental Practice Online.  Internet marketing has stabilized over the years, but the problem now is that there's so many choices especially for local marketing, which creates such a complex marketing environment. I started my company to try and untangle the web for local businesses, and help them understand how to promote their businesses using online marketing. I started way back and learned a lot about what to do what not to do, and then created a company that I've owned now for 13 years, that helps dentists figure out the best way to promote their practices. When I started the agency, at first we took on anybody that would pay us, but we later found out that it's hard to effectively market businesses that we don't know about. We narrowed down our focus to market for dentists and this has really helped us and quite frankly, our clients. The first two things that you have to do to capitalize your market place, no matter what kind of business you are in, is to first identify your new customer avatar and put it on paper. You also need to identify your unique selling proposition and what makes you different from your competition. When you have those two things, that's when you can identify the mediums or what advertising platforms are going to work best based on who you are trying to attract. Commercial Break I felt that if I wrote a book about what I was doing, it would help make me a market expert about it. Once I got to writing it, I realized that it was going to help a lot of people in business that were struggling and that needed a little push in the right direction. I found that when you write a book, you have to do a lot of research, and in that process, I learned a lot of new things. We get a lot of questions from our clients around time, fear of the unknown and money. There are a lot of people that want the information, get excited about it, and then don't really do anything with it. Find something that you're excited about and take action. It's okay to fail, just fail fast, learn from it and move on. ………………………………………………… Do you want to be a go to expert that news reporters, anchors and media producers turn to?

Yet, only 34% of businesses have made SEO a priority for 2022. If your business is hoping to achieve any of the goals listed above, but doesn't yet have an SEO strategy, you'll want to stay tuned for this episode! Our four marketing guides will discuss the survey findings and also: Outline what an SEO strategy is and how it could help your business Explain why ad hoc or random SEO efforts won't help you achieve the results you want (and why you need an SEO strategy instead) Discuss why so few businesses are making SEO a priority and what effects this might have for them  How not investing in SEO could be putting your business at a competitive disadvantage Explore whether you should be combining SEO efforts with your PPC strategies

Chris helps local businesses find how they can be more effective in their local market and attract more customers. What three problems do you solve? What are the best ways for a local business to promote itself? What kind of metrics should you use to know if your marketing efforts are working? What are some things you can do to market to people once they've become your customer? Show Notes: It is a struggle to make yourself more visible online. Digital marketing is critical. First, you need to know how to be found. Then, you can focus on how to be chosen which is just as important. Video testimonials are effective. Use your Google my business profile to dive into your digital marketing. How many widgets are people buying from your marketing efforts? Adjust your marketing accordingly. Don't spend more on marketing if you're getting fewer returns. The most valuable tracking method for Chris is seeing how many customers you are getting and where they are coming from. Your phone has tremendous capabilities to make short, effective videos for your business. Always ask for references. Chris Pistorius' Recharge Round What habit do you think has led to success in your life? Chris creates opportunities for himself. He doesn't sit around waiting for stuff to happen. If you had one do-over, what would it be? Chris says that for the first few years of his business venture he didn't create a company but only created a job for himself. If he could go back, he would have hired more people to help him with things he wasn't good at sooner. He would've worked more on the business than in the business.

If you are passionate about and if it makes you happy… And certainly, there is financial stuff to it and you've got to be able to make money in most cases. Just go and do what makes you happy, take care of your customers and the money will come. Don't just sit around and think oh should I, could I? Get off the sideline and actually do it because in my opinion it will be too painful for you later in life to go back and think what if I would have started that business then?

Julian Smit is a master of all things SEO and online marketing. But he’s one of the more truthful marketers out there, and he’s got a load of hacks and tricks that will help you get your target market’s eyeballs and attention without spending an arm and a leg on a fancy website and SEO strategy. In this episode, you’ll find out if you really need to open your own website, or if you can get away with a business Facebook account, whether you need to go for advanced or basic SEO and the latest SEO tools that you need for your website. If you have a business with an online presence, (which, in 2019 is almost everyone), you’ll love the pearls of wisdom Julian shares with us in this episode!   My Guest: Julian Smit Julian is the Founder of J.D. Nevins Communications Inc. – one of the fastest-growing digital marketing agencies in Toronto (within a year ranked among the top 10 digital marketing agencies in Toronto on UpCity and #1 by customer reviews and among non-paying-member agencies).He is the host of a fast-growing YouTube channel and podcast – “BIYF Marketing” which continues to attract distinguished business and thought leaders from around the world. In its first season alone BIYF Marketing attracted almost four thousand subscribers, 180 thousand video views, which amounted to 3.6 million minutes watched. He is also the founder of the Marketing Summit Academy – an online training platform for digital marketing and event planning.   Episode Highlights: [02:51]: I did a degree in Psychology, minor in Philosophy. There’s not much you can do with those. I didn’t really even know what I wanted to do with my life. So I just went to the University Career Center to figure out well, what am I supposed to be doing? I took all of those aptitude tests and interest tests and so forth. And one of them said, Okay, you should either be a marketer or a priest. [11:03]: 20 years ago, it was like, why do I even need a website? What does that mean? And there were like a handful of ways you could get it done, and only the biggest people did it because it was thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to do anything decent. [23:44]: But the problem is that you’ve got all these people who are saying you can have this independent lifestyle… And what they’re selling you, is you don’t need to have any experience running a business, nor do you need a product, or a service. [28:48]: Estie: How would someone know when they get approached for these things? Legit, not legit? Justin: Okay. Well, for example, the way that I called up pages in pages and pages of these duplicate sites was actually to simply copy-paste some text from the site and throw the whole big thing into a search bar. [34:25]: For search engines, we call those meta tags and schema markup. And that does a couple of things: that communicates to search engines what your title is, what your description is, what your main image is- what is that image that you want it to come up with, when people do a search for your website. [41:26]: When you’re setting yourself up for success, even if you don’t know what these things are, and even if you’re not going to be using them today, tomorrow, even next month, and maybe not even this year, this is the stuff is this in the background of your site…. So even if you’re not ready to run with those kinds of ads, if you ever want to be able to, or want to be ready, this stuff doesn’t cost anything, and it’s almost nothing to set up. Any web programmer worth their salt will do it automatically for you. Make sure that it’s in. Not everyone knows how to do it because there are a lot of programmers that are not worth their salt. [58:29]: Basic SEO is that when people search for YOU, you get found. That’s your baseline, you must have that otherwise you don’t exist…....
