Sharing Barrel's Q2 new biz pipeline activity to get a sense of what others are seeing as well: - 87 total leads (+17% vs. Q1) - 41 calls taken (-20% vs. Q1) - 27 proposals sent (+42% vs. Q1) - Avg. proposal value (-25% vs. Q1) - 4 wins (4 less than Q1) We sent a lot more proposals in Q2 than in Q1 and they were for smaller projects. More than half are still in play (haven't closed out as lost). 41 calls over 13 weeks doesn't sound like much but this doesn't count follow-up calls. For some opportunities, there were several calls for many weeks before we either won, lost, or got ghosted. We expect Q3 to have more wins as deals we worked hard in Q2 start to finally close. Year-to-date, here are top lead sources: - Agencies (31) - Shopify/Webflow directory (23) - Google Search (19) - Tech solutions partners (11) - Current & former clients (11) Not surprisingly, current & former client leads were highest quality, leading to 5 of the 12 total wins we had this year. Google Search made the jump from last year but nothing closed from those leads yet. Must be our new website performing better. Agency partners continue to be reliable source of leads. Paid marketing and SEO firms have sent us some good leads and we try to do the same. Not listed here, but we got 1 lead that was attributed to ChatGPT, interesting! What trends are you seeing with your pipeline? How was your Q2?

If you've ever hesitated to dive into online affiliate marketing because you think you don't know how to sell, this one's for you. The biggest roadblock for many potential affiliate marketers is the mistaken belief that they need to be expert salespeople to succeed. This misconception holds them back from even starting. The real issue here is that people assume they have to be aggressive or pushy in their sales tactics. But folks, it doesn't have to be that way. Affiliate marketing is more about providing real value and sharing solutions that genuinely help people. There's a better approach, and it starts with understanding your audience's needs and pain points. From there, it's about offering products or services that align with those needs—things you genuinely believe in. Here's the roadmap to get you started on the right foot: Understand Your Niche: Figure out what your audience cares about and what problems they're looking to solve. Choose the Right Products: Pick products or services that you truly believe in. Create Value-Driven Content: Whether it's blog posts, videos, or social media content, focus on educating and informing your audience. Build Trust: Engage with your audience, answer their questions, and show that you care about their success. Natural Conversations: Once you've built trust and provided value, making the offer should feel like a natural next step, not a hard pitch. Don't let the fear of selling hold you back. By focusing on helping rather than selling, you'll build an affiliate marketing business that's both authentic and rewarding. And if you need help getting started or have any questions, please comment below. I'm here to help you succeed. My name is Dan from D Squared Marketplace.

Fractional Executives aren't facing a demand problem; they have a supply problem! The number of fractionals is growing 100X faster than demand. This macro-economic crisis isn't something that you are going to out-hustle or overcome by building awareness of the fractional label. The solution that will work best is to differentiate yourself. For a fractional, the best way is to differentiate yourself on your genius or intellectual capital. Listen to this clip for more context. Here are the links to the previous videos in the series: Why focusing on the fractional label can be an "own goal": https://lnkd.in/eu_3hVgH Build Awareness Of What A Fractional Is, Isn't The Problem: https://lnkd.in/efy_Rz7N Get access to the entire video and the rest of our great content using the links in the comments below.

Here’s 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 we're exploring in our quest for dynamic TCPA compliance and delivering value to our lead buyers. A hybrid approach that involves 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁'𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀. As we continue to test and refine the CPC model, this hybrid approach brings a fresh perspective to our monetization efforts. The technology we're using helps us create compliant, branded hosted pages for each client, offering a customized solution that aligns with their unique offerings. With this model, we're able to suggest to the consumer a broader range of vendors that suit their needs, increasing our flexibility and monetization opportunities at the same time. Our initial test will be within the moving industry. If it performs well there, we’ll expand to other verticals. As always, my mission is to ensure compliance while delivering superior value to clients. And finding new ways to do this is quickly becoming essential. I'll be closely monitoring the performance of this hybrid model and will keep you updated on its evolution. 𝗜'𝗱 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵. Do you think it holds potential? Let’s discuss it below. #LeadGeneration #TCPA #Compliance #Innovation #PerformanceMarketing

Oil and gas service providers - are you tracking your sales team's performance? I work with businesses to help them track phone call metrics through their various marketing channels. Through call tracking automation (I use Twilio), you can easily see how many calls came in and the call duration for each sales person. All you have to do is assign a call tracking number for each sales person, sprinkle in a little bit of Java Script magic, and log this data in something as simple as Google Sheets. If you aren't capturing this information, are you making the best decisions possible for your organization?

Petco Email Overhaul A counterintuitive approach. A few key changes: ➤  Key Header Change Yes, we didn’t lead with an offer here. We led with a statement that everyone in the target audience can agree with. → Makes them naturally want to read on → Open Loop → Highlight product quality While this email has a value-led approach, we still add a CTA above the fold for eager shoppers. ➤ Create An Angle An interesting angle that empowers dogs, setting context for the product spotlight section. → Compares dog DNA to wolf DNA → Creates intrigue in terms of ‘so, what does that mean?’ → Sets context for wild pacific stream smoked salmon ‘Wild Stream Smoked Salmon’ is contextualized more since modern science claims dogs share the same DNA as wolves. ➤ Product Spotlights With Reviews A clear product showcase with benefit-driven copy and review highlights. → Builds confidence through social approval → Makes product tangible → Builds on the context from previous section The value here is using the contextual story of dogs having wolf DNA, and showcasing products in light of this new perception. ➤ Conditional Product Spotlight Next, we highlight a product alternative. → Gives an alternative option → Based on customer research → Show clear customer understanding The main point here is to use your zero party data to decode what your audience considers highly relevant. ➤ Offer-Stack Reminder We put the offer at the end here. Criminal, right? Not when you’re taking a value-based approach. → Builds trust through reading first → Keeps the email relevant to profile → The goal is to offer value first Being a brand that gives value first is the ultimate differentiator. ------ I’m a big fan of value-led marketing. In a world where we see 10,000 ads in a day, leading with value in your marketing will help you stand out. It trains your audience to actually read your emails and receive some form of dopamine from new information. Providing value before an offer will add more longevity in your customer base. There’s definitely a time and place for leading with offers, but I do think the landscape is changing. Thoughts?

the cost of attention continues to rise. the efficiency of getting the attention is slipping. don't get too fancy without mastering the basics. stay grounded in your strategies. it is no longer enough to decrease your CPC or CPM or CP(whatever). this optimization approach is so 2000s, at best. so what's next for brands? glad you asked! we are seeing more brands doubling down on initiatives that engage, educate, and entertain. it's time your brand moves at the speed of culture! p/s: working with the right agency partner makes a huge difference too! #justsaying
