    EP 143: The Unlikely Journey from Religious Gaffes to Marketing Wins

    Have you ever chuckled at a mix-up between sacred figures and foot-focused services? I certainly did after mistaking a Super Bowl commercial about Jesus for an ad for Feet Finder, a slip that sparked more than just a few laughs online. As someone who once served as an altar girl, I'm taking you behind the scenes of religious marketing, only to pivot into revealing how a daring $17,000 investment in leads transformed my agency, Neat, into a revenue-generating powerhouse. You'll hear how we turned this into a whopping $265,000 in sales, offering up a goldmine of insights for entrepreneurs and marketers on the potential of lead purchasing.    Now, let's talk action on leads and sales strategies that aren't just buzzwords but the real deal. With recent price hikes making waves in 2024, I'll tell you why there's no shame in buying leads, cold emailing, or cold calling. We're stripping away the stigma and getting down to business, emphasizing the necessity of a quick draw on hot leads and the art of the close—highlighted by the tale of our team's star closer whose departure tested our resilience. Tune in for an episode that's less about nurturing and more about sealing deals, delivering candid lessons and tactics to amplify your business's success trajectory.   How To Get Involved: Get ready to elevate your business game with Served Neat - the podcast that's all about taking your business to the next level!
