Take Action Get Profits Radio with Michele Scism and Her Guest Jim Hohl and Lucas Garvin and 2nd guest John Polish: Jim Hohl - FOUNDER & CEO Jim has been in marketing in some capacity since 1996. He has since worked on 100s of campaigns for businesses ranging in size from United Nations, Cushman & Wakefield and Subway Restaurants to local shops and restaurants and solo business owners, as well as several non-profits. He enjoys learning and challenging himself whenever he can and sees building marketing campaigns as solving a problem – the problem of how to get your message to the right people and how to get them to want to buy. Lucas Garvin - FOUNDER & CMO Instead of following the usual path, Lucas has carved his own. At the age of 13, he founded his first business, SEO PRO, to offer his unique marketing talents to local businesses in his hometown of Savannah, GA. After racking up an impressive roster of local business clients (and graduating high school), he decided to up the ante – moving to NYC to co-found the digital agency Visify instead of going to college. John Polish inspires others to pick themselves up out of the wreckage of life, move forward in faith, and take advantages of opportunities to find happiness. John learned to look at life from a new perspective, and move from a crappy life to a happy life, after suffering from loss of his only child, his daughter Abigail, who passed away after two days. John Polish is now an internationally recognized author, award winning motivational speaker, radio talk show host, the creator of the Personal Happiness Graph and founder of Finding Your Happiness – PRA$E Personal Development.

In this episode of The Smart Agency Master Class I have my first ever three way:)  For the first time ever, I have two guests - Jim Hohl and Lucas Gavin of Visify. Jim and Lucas are going to share with us how you can use events to build your authority and grow your business by creating leads.   Where do you start with creating leads for your agency? Jim and Lucas knew that they didn't just want to do business as usual. Chasing after projects and pitching all the time is exhausting. The duo decided to begin speaking at events and hosting webinars, which allowed them the chance to get their message out to a lot of people at once. Bonus: you automatically earn some street cred by being an event speaker. It's instant authority! No events in your area? Make one! It'll be a great opportunity for you to get your feet wet. It's fairly simple to throw together a 2-3 hour weeknight event. For something larger, consider hiring an event planner. Jim and Lucas hired an event company, allowing them to focus on work and let the professionals handle event stuff. Or you can create a mini-event around a bigger industry event. This way you can invite a select group to take part in a lunch-and-learn without having to do too much organizing. Start small. The event doesn't have to be a huge crowd. No one expects you to start out at a TED Talk. Start smaller and work your way up. Jim, Lucas, and I are all huge fans of webinars. Not only are they easy to set up, but they're an excellent first step in getting comfortable with speaking in front of people. But first, you need to come up with what you want to say. The simplest way to do that is to think about what you find yourself saying to most of your clients. What's some common advice that you give? Or, what is some aspect of your business that you are really passionate about? Use these as starting points for creating webinar content. Tech to use: Try GoToWebinar or Google Hangouts for a simple, effective setup. Save the sales pitch. You will attract a lot more people to create leads if you don't make the event a sales pitch. Seriously, you don't need to be pitching all the time, and no one wants to hear it. Instead, focus on creating quality content that delivers something of value to the audience.  Have a genuine conversation. Offer a free download of a tool or white paper that they can actually use. They are guaranteed to remember you for it. Don't forget to include a CTA. You want to keep the conversation going, so make sure you include a call to action. Not the lame “buy my stuff” CTA, but something like “comment on my blog to join the discussion.” You want to create a thoughtful and engaged community around your events. So whether you're doing a webinar or an in-person event, make certain that you have some sort of call to action.
