#miningforgrowthgold - The hosts discuss a technique for handling the common "I'm not interested" objection during cold calls. The approach involves making an assumptive statement to prompt the prospect to clarify or correct their initial response, rather than just pushing past it. The hosts believe this can be an effective way to uncover the real reason behind the objection and have a more productive conversation.
#50for50 -Scott Scully suggests that businesses should consider treating their customers more like members, providing exclusive benefits and services beyond just the core product or service. The hosts explore the idea of creating a membership model to foster a deeper sense of loyalty and engagement with customers.
#talesfromsales - Jeff Winters provides advice for sales executives on finalizing their 2025 sales numbers earlier in the year. He warns against making short-term budget cuts that could negatively impact the following year's goals, emphasizing the importance of thinking long-term and avoiding knee-jerk reactions to current challenges. The hosts agree that finalizing numbers early can help motivate the team and avoid multiple budget adjustments down the line.

š There are almost 20,000 high-volume keywords in the U.S. that get over 100,000 monthly searches.
But surprisingly, 95% of keywords have fewer than ten searches a month, according to Ahrefs.
To reach the right audience, you need to target the right keywords. The high-volume ones can bring a lot of traffic, but there's heavy competition. Focusing on more specific keywords can connect you to niche audiences and give you a better chance at ranking #1.
The best strategy finds a balance between high-traffic terms and niche keywords. Knowing how to do this can really help you stand out.

Recently, one of our roofing partners closed a deal worth $37k based on an appointment we set for them. And, the prospect let them know that if they do well on this initial job, additional opportunities within the company would bring the total to $66k.
We'd say that all this took was a phone call... but in reality it took a great list, multiple phone calls and emails, discussions with the gatekeeper, pitches with the key decision maker, confirmation calls, and the magic of our partner's sales pitch and follow up process.
It's not easy work, but it's worth it.

Google considers over 200 factors when ranking sites. Itās a complex system, but there are key elements you should prioritize:
š¢ Meaning ā Your content should match what users are searching for. For example, if trends show that people are interested in learning about what's new in the IT sector for 2024, write a blog about the latest updates in ITāNOT general IT information or ānew updatesā that occurred in 2015.
šµ Relevance ā Optimize content to align with the intent behind key search terms.
š” Quality ā Create valuable content thatās informative and relevant. For instance, when writing a blog about reasons to outsource cybersecurity, don't discuss the latest trends in data storage. There's a time and a place in another piece of content for that, and an outsourced-focused cybersecurity blog is not it.
š£ Usability ā Make sure your site loads quickly and is easy to navigate. If your website takes more than two seconds to load, you risk poor outcomes, so make sure it's up to speed.
š Context ā Tailor your content to the userās location and preferences. If you want to only get business in your service region, emphasize your locality throughout web copy so you get the right leads.
Staying ahead requires a comprehensive SEO strategy and a deep understanding of what Google values. Without the right expertise, it's easy to miss out on valuable traffic and lose ground to competitors.
