"Anybody could shove tactics at you, and you can always find a tactic, better, faster, cheaper. But like, if you throw 1000 tactics and you don't get anywhere, it doesn't, it doesn't really help you. There's a really great quote, actually, tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat." — Natalie Henley Connect with Natalie Henley:   Website: www.v9digital.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/621107/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/volume_nine/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Eli Natoli: How Service-First Marketing Turns Authenticity into Consistent Clients

    About Eli Natoli: Eli Natoli is an international speaker, author, and marketing strategist who has helped thousands of entrepreneurs transform visibility into trust and consistent revenue. She is the creator of the Service First Framework™ and Marketing Your Truth™, two proven methodologies designed to help business owners attract aligned clients through clarity, authentic connection, and trust-based positioning rather than short-term, tactic-driven marketing. In this episode, Ted and Eli Natoli discuss: Core attributes of high-performing marketing: personal resonance and service-first intentWhy generic, tactic-first marketing is failing and how truth-based positioning cuts through market noiseA three-part research framework: defining “why you,” understanding the audience, and identifying competitive gapsBuilding a content-driven authority flywheel that moves prospects from awareness to trustReal-world positioning shifts, including how clarity transformed a burned-out therapist’s marketing and momentum Key Takeaways: Bringing a personal, belief-driven perspective into your marketing consistently outperforms generic, tactics-first campaigns.The most effective content is created from a service-first mindset—sharing what your audience truly needs to hear, without attaching it to a specific outcome.Eli’s three-part research process (why you, why them, why now) gives entrepreneurs clarity on their unique value, voice, and market position.A sustainable client acquisition engine looks like a client flywheel, where strategic content builds authority, connection, and trust step by step.Clear messaging and positioning can reignite a burned-out business owner, turning confusion and weak results into renewed confidence and traction, even in crowded fields like therapy or legal. "There was no outcome attached to them at all. The intention was we have something that our prospects, our clients, need to know. We have to share this as if it was our obligation." — Eli Natoli  Connect with Eli Natoli:   Website: https://elinatoli.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elinatoli/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Nermin Jasani: The CRO Playbook for Higher-Quality Legal Leads

    About Nermin Jasani: Nermin Jasani is a former Wall Street lawyer turned law firm consultant, specializing in empowering women-owned law firms to achieve sustainable growth without burnout. As the founder of Wildly Successful Law Firm, she combines her legal expertise with strategic business insights to help solo and small law firm owners streamline operations, enhance profitability, and reclaim their time. In this episode, Ted and Nermin Jasani discuss: Why many law firms struggle with profitability due to underpricing and a lack of clear revenue targetsHow to reverse-engineer fees based on desired income, expenses, and capacityBuilding a multi-channel marketing strategy aligned with the practice area and the ideal client profileThe role of intake automation and follow-up systems in maximizing conversion and consistencyWhy more Big Law attorneys—especially women—are launching boutique firms, and how to price and structure those practices for sustainable growth Key Takeaways: A full pipeline means little if pricing and service packaging are not aligned with revenue and profit goals.Firms that run the numbers instead of relying on intuition often uncover where underpricing and inefficient matters are eroding margins.Simple improvements in intake and follow-up, such as automated scheduling and reminders, can significantly increase signed cases without additional ad spend.Treating marketing as a multi-channel system—rather than a single tactic—creates more predictable and higher-quality opportunities.High-performing firms are built on clear financial targets, aligned pricing, and streamlined systems, not just more traffic or more hustle. “You can't talk about marketing without talking about your pricing, and you can't talk about marketing without talking about automation.” — Nermin Jasani  Connect with Nermin Jasani:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nerminjasani/ Email: nermin@wearews.com  Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Jeff Greenfield: Solving the Attribution Problem in a Privacy-First Marketing World

    About Jeff Greenfield: Jeff Greenfield is an entrepreneur, advisor, and marketing innovator with more than three decades of experience in strategy, growth, and marketing leadership. He is the Co-Founder and CEO of Provalytics, where he is revolutionizing marketing attribution through AI-driven, privacy-first measurement solutions. Previously, Jeff co-founded C3 Metrics, leading breakthroughs in attribution, viewability, and cookieless identifiers that reshaped how marketers measure ROI. He has been featured at leading industry conferences, including NATPE, NAB, Mediapost, BANFF, MASB, ANA, and TVOT, and his thought leadership has appeared in outlets such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, ABC, CBS, and Investor’s Business Daily. In this episode, Ted and Jeff Greenfield discuss: Why traditional click-based attribution models no longer reflect real-world, multi-touch buyer journeysThe shift from user-level tracking to impression-based, privacy-first measurementHow CTV, OTT, YouTube, podcasts, and other upper‑funnel channels actually drive leads and salesThe old “spiked attribution” method for linear TV—and why it fails in today’s streaming-first, on-demand environmentBuilding a single source of truth for marketing performance that aligns marketing, finance, and channel teams Key Takeaways: Google Analytics is strong at tracking on-site behavior, but it struggles to measure awareness-driven channels like CTV, streaming, YouTube, and podcasts.As privacy changes remove user-level tracking, marketers need to zoom out and focus on impressions and attention—not just clicks.Multi-touch attribution shows branded search often serves as navigation, not true demand creation, shifting more credit to upper-funnel channels.Firms relying on last-click data tend to overspend on paid search while underinvesting in channels that drive long-term growth.A single source of truth for performance enables smarter budget allocation, clearer ROI, and stronger buy-in from finance. “At the end of the day, when you're investing dollars in marketing, what you're doing is you're not buying clicks — you're buying eyeballs, you're buying attention.” — Jeff Greenfield Connect with Jeff Greenfield:   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffgreenfield/ Websites: https://jeffgreenfield.com/ / https://provalytics.com/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    Kyle Sheldon: From Awareness to Profit—How Law Firms Can Finally Track What Works

    About Kyle Sheldon: Kyle Sheldon is the co-founder of De Facto Digital Consulting and a seasoned professional with over a decade of experience in the legal marketing industry. Alongside co-founder John Schroeder, Kyle launched De Facto Digital Consulting with a mission to bring greater transparency, accountability, and ethical practices to legal marketing. His work focuses on helping law firms better understand their digital investments and make informed, results-driven decisions that support sustainable growth. In this episode, Ted and Kyle Sheldon discuss: Why unbiased marketing analysis is critical for law firms navigating SEO, PPC, and LSAsThe most common marketing blind spots law firms face, including lead tracking and case attributionHow intake breakdowns quietly destroy otherwise strong marketing campaignsWhat high-performing law firms do differently when it comes to budgets, expectations, and partnersHow better technology and accountability connect your marketing spend to real, trackable profit Key Takeaways: Kyle built De Facto Digital Consulting specifically to remove vendor bias, offering law firms objective insights without selling SEO, PPC, or media services.Many firms struggle not because of poor traffic generation, but because they fail to track leads, attribute cases correctly, and follow up effectively during intake.The strongest firms treat marketing as a serious business investment—setting realistic budgets, hiring vetted partners, and holding agencies accountable to results.Without understanding true cost per case and payout potential, firms operate with blind spots that prevent smart scaling decisions.Long-term growth comes from connecting the full lifecycle—from awareness and lead generation through intake, case management, and revenue realization. "We do not do any marketing ourselves. So we always say, no SEO, no PPC, no social media marketing. That allows us to be totally objective." — Kyle Sheldon   Connect with Kyle Sheldon:  Website: https://defactodigitalconsulting.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DeFactoDigital YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCIRp_k2QQ7kU56pVEoksQsg Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/defactodigitalconsulting/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

    About Patrick Carver: Patrick Carver is the CEO of Constellation Marketing, one of the fastest-growing, multi-million-dollar marketing agencies serving law firms exclusively. With more than 23 years of experience, he has helped hundreds of firms dramatically increase monthly revenue—often by 300% or more—through transparent, sustainable marketing strategies.

The agency is known for its law-firm-only focus, flexible engagements, and commitment to client ownership of marketing assets, delivering consistent, long-term growth. In this episode, Ted and Patrick Carver discuss: How Constellation Marketing helps law firms generate measurable ROI—not just leadsWhy client retention starts with revenue reconciliation, not reporting dashboardsThe core digital marketing stack: websites, SEO, paid ads, and omnipresenceHow AI overviews and changing search behavior are impacting legal SEO and trafficSimple, high-impact tactics law firms can implement immediately to improve local visibility Key Takeaways: Patrick attributes Constellation Marketing’s 98%+ client retention rate to a relentless focus on making clients money, not producing “pretty reports.”ROI reconciliation sits above all other KPIs, because lead volume means little if those leads don’t convert into real revenue.In a post–AI overview world, firms must think beyond Google rankings and focus on being present across multiple digital touchpoints.Paid advertising has become increasingly important as organic search grows more competitive and fragmented.Law firms that maximize their online real estate—Google Business Profile, reviews, directories, and social platforms—gain authority faster, often with little to no cost. “Our biggest insurance policy for keeping clients happy is, in fact, making them money.” — Patrick Carver Connect with Patrick Carver:   Website: https://goconstellation.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickacarver/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/constellationmktg/ Traffic to Leads Information and links JuvoLeads.com contact page: https://juvoleads.com/contact/ JuvoLeads website: https://juvoleads.com/ Connect with show host Ted DeBettencort: ted@juvoleads.com Ideas or guests for the show: ted@juvoleads.com  Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
