    House on Fire Marketing: How to Stop Being a “Best Kept Secret” with Prima Jope

    Show NotesPrima’s pivot + origin — Moving from engineering and retail to online work; COVID as the “house on fire” moment that forced reinvention.  “Best Kept Secret” diagnosis — It’s not lack of skill; it’s talking about what the market doesn’t urgently care about.  House on Fire Marketing — Identify activation points (urgent, can’t-wait problems), show up with a “fire extinguisher,” then demonstrate and invite.  Leads vs Buyers — Why “leads” can be someday/never; focus on buyer intent to shorten time-to-trust and time-to-cash.  Conviction > tactics — Self-leadership, integrity, and inner work as the engine behind strategy.  Seasons, silence, and signal — Reducing noise to hear divine guidance; living on your terms, not chasing balance myths.  Revenue rhythm — Structuring offers (6–24 months) so $2K days come from today’s sales + tomorrow’s recurring.  Resources Guest: Facebook @primajope | IG @prima_jope | YT (link above) | the2kClientsystem.com  Show: entrepreneurconundrum.com/primajope  Key Questions(01:34) How did you get to be where you are today?

(14:05) You have mentioned before in other areas, you don't have a buyer problem, you have a buyer identification problem. Can you expand on that a little bit.

(30:28) What's the best advice that you have ever received? (32:31) What's the best advice you've ever given?
