Guesswork is cancer of all business feat. Michael Cooney 45:50

Learn how accurate attribution tracking transforms marketing results Look, let's face it - guesswork is the cancer of all business. As I always tell my clients at Predictable Profits, you need to eliminate that guesswork with proper data. That's why I invited Michael Cooney, co-founder of WhatConverts, onto the podcast. I've had multiple agency clients rave about this tool that's helping them generate better results and higher ROAS for their clients. We dive deep into why native conversion pixels from Meta or Google fall short, how to properly value different types of leads, and why understanding the complete customer journey is critical for making smart marketing decisions. My guest today, Michael Cooney, built WhatConverts after running his own agency for over 20 years. He experienced firsthand the frustration of trying to prove marketing ROI to skeptical clients who couldn't see the full picture. When a client once said to him, "These leads seem like they're from existing customers, not marketing," Michael realized he needed a better solution - a truth-seeking tool that would reveal exactly which marketing efforts were driving valuable conversions. That's when WhatConverts was born, and it's now tracking over 4 million leads per month across industries. KEY TAKEAWAYS: The limitations of standard conversion tracking How dynamic number insertion works The complexity of modern buyer journeys Issues with standard cookie windows The importance of data-driven decision making WhatConverts' six-step process Proper troubleshooting for underperforming campaigns Value-based pricing for marketers Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcooney/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/mc_cooney Email: michael.cooney@whatconverts.com Company Website: https://www.whatconverts.com/ Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

Creating a One-Person Marketing Team feat. Mike Koenigs 53:12

Learn how to leverage advanced AI strategies that most business owners miss The untapped potential of artificial intelligence for business growth. The conversation explores how most people are barely scratching the surface of AI's capabilities, sharing practical examples of how AI can research prospects, create marketing campaigns, build prototypes, and even write books in a fraction of the time traditional methods require. Mike Koenigs is the author of "The AI Accelerator" and founder of the Superpower Accelerator. As one of Charles' early mentors, Mike has consistently stayed ahead of marketing trends and now helps business owners harness AI to expand their capabilities, create one-person marketing teams, elevate their authority, and scale without adding headcount. His innovative "thousand dollars cup of coffee" campaign demonstrates how AI-powered research can transform client consultations and dramatically increase revenue. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Most businesses only scratch the surface of AI potential, using basic ChatGPT instead of the full AI ecosystem. Quality AI output directly reflects quality input—effective prompt crafting is essential. Successful AI adoption requires understanding possibilities, selecting right tools, and focusing on four key functions. Being "tool agnostic" is crucial—multiple AI models provide better insights than any single tool. AI's greatest advantage comes from unleashing imagination and asking better questions. Create AI style guides to capture brand voice and apply consistently across all content. The "one-person marketing department" is now possible through comprehensive AI tools. Mike's "thousand dollars cup of coffee" model demonstrates how AI research transforms high-ticket sales.

Win Big Clients with Revenue Based Selling feat. Stephen Roche 47:55

47:55

Learn how to land billion dollar clients using revenue based sales strategies In this episode, Stephen Roche shares his proven approach for landing enterprise clients in the competitive financial industry. He reveals why tying products to new revenue generation, rather than just cost savings is the secret to winning major clients like BlackRock and JP Morgan. Stephen explains how building trust through thought leadership, leveraging strategic PR, and using authentic LinkedIn engagement creates a powerful sales ecosystem that makes you the safer choice for potential clients. Stephen Roche is the Co-Founder and President of Saphyre, a patented AI-powered platform that streamlines pre- and post-trade processes for financial institutions. Founded in 2017 with his identical twin brother Gabino, Saphyre has revolutionized the industry by enabling T+1 and even T-Zero trade settlements, helping financial institutions meet new SEC mandates while eliminating the traditional web of manual tasks. The company raised $18.7M in Series A funding in 2022 and boasts an impressive client roster including BlackRock, JP Morgan, and Citigroup. Key Takeaways: Tie your product to new revenue generation rather than just cost savings to make it irresistible to potential clients. Create a "safer option" by building market validation through visible client partnerships and thought leadership. Be authentic on LinkedIn by balancing industry insights with personal content instead of just corporate messaging. Use event sponsorships strategically to gain speaking opportunities that establish thought leadership in your industry. Leverage PR by negotiating press releases with clients and repurposing that content across multiple channels. Document your journey authentically rather than relying on corporate-approved marketing materials that feel impersonal. Use "social proof" from major clients to create FOMO among their competitors who aren't using your solution yet. Consider offering warrant structures tied to performance metrics for strategic partnerships instead of giving away equity upfront. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be.

How One Brand Grew from Six to Eight Figures in a Year feat. Joe Putnam 41:04

4 weeks ago41:04

41:04

Learn how to to Scale from 6 to 8 Figures in Just One Year Grow your business faster, make smarter marketing decisions, and stop missing out on sales. In this episode of the Beyond 7 Figures podcast, hear how one expert helped a company go from $25,000 to $90,000 a month in just 90 days and reach 8 figures in one year. Learn why getting a high return on ad spend (ROAS) isn’t always a good thing, what really holds businesses back from growing, and how fixing your operations can lead to bigger profits. No matter what kind of business you run, products, services, or agency. These tips can help you scale the right way. Joe Putnam is the founder of Conversion Engine, an agency that specializes in growing e-commerce brands through data-driven marketing strategies. Drawing from his experience scaling a client from six to eight figures in just one year, Joe shares insights on channel selection, attribution challenges, and the importance of looking beyond first-click metrics. His approach combines Meta ad campaigns, email and SMS optimization, and operational excellence to create sustainable growth. Joe's expertise extends beyond e-commerce, with applicable strategies for service businesses, B2B companies, and agencies looking to scale predictably. KEY TAKEAWAYS: A high return on ad spend (ROAS) might look good, but growing at a lower ROAS can actually make more money. Many businesses struggle to grow not because of bad marketing, but because their operations aren’t ready to handle more sales. You don’t need to be on every platform; it’s better to focus on one or two channels that give the best results. Most of your profit comes after the first sale, so it’s important to build strong follow-up and repeat customer systems. Ads don’t always get credit right away, since many people buy days or even weeks after seeing them. The best way to grow is by using clear data to make smart decisions instead of guessing or following trends. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Why Text Messaging Works Better Than E-mail ft. Chris Brisson 48:00

Learn how text messaging can transform your business communication and close more deals Are you missing out on connecting with 88% of your prospects simply because they never open your emails? In my conversation with Chris Brisson, we uncover why text messaging has become an essential communication tool that many businesses overlook. Chris reveals how implementing text messaging strategically throughout your customer lifecycle can dramatically improve lead engagement, reduce no-shows, and strengthen client relationships without additional costs or effort. I'm thrilled to bring you this conversation with Chris Brisson, a long-time friend and three-time Inc. 5000 founder who has been innovating in the messaging space since 2010. As founder of Sales Message, Chris has helped countless businesses implement effective text messaging strategies that feel natural and human. His upcoming book "Textize Your Business" provides a framework that any size company can use to leverage conversational messaging. After this episode, I'm confident you'll be including text messaging in your overall marketing strategy. Guest: Chris Brisson Guest bio: CEO and Co-Founder of Salesmsg KEY TAKEAWAYS: Text messaging has a 98% open rate compared to email's much lower open rate of 12-20%. Businesses need to get approved by carriers to use text messaging, which involves a simple compliance process that takes about 6.5 minutes. Nearly half (45%) of people prefer texting businesses rather than calling them. Text messaging helps engage leads quickly while they're interested, qualify them, and ensure they show up for appointments. Text messaging can be used throughout the customer lifecycle - from generating leads to getting reviews and referrals. Adding text messaging to existing business processes without changing anything else can increase results by 5-15%. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures.

Learn how AI is changing the way businesses grow and connect with people. AI is changing the game in marketing, content creation, and business growth. But here’s the real question how do you use AI without losing the personal touch that sets your business apart? In this episode, I sit down with Ronsley Vaz, an expert in podcasting and business, to talk about the balance between AI and human connection. He breaks down how you can leverage AI to scale, reach more people, and tell better stories without sounding robotic. Whether you’re new to AI or looking for smarter ways to integrate it into your business, this conversation is packed with real strategies you can apply right now. Guest: Ronsley Vaz Guest bio: A computer scientist, software engineer, author, TED speaker, serial entrepreneur, and podcaster. KEY TAKEAWAYS: AI can help businesses grow, but human connection is still the key to building trust. Storytelling makes your brand stand out, even in an AI-driven world. Podcasting is a powerful way to connect with your audience and build authority. AI can save time by automating tasks, but it should not replace personal engagement. Great conversations create more impact than just pushing out content. Using AI the right way can help businesses reach more people and scale faster. Authenticity matters—your audience wants to connect with real people, not just automation. AI and human creativity work best together when used to enhance, not replace, each other. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Developing Your Unique Advantage Point 43:30

43:30

Learn How to Develop Your Unique Advantage Point and Stand Out From Competitors In this episode of the Beyond Seven Figures podcast, I explore why having a Unique Selling Proposition (USP) is no longer enough to differentiate your business in today's competitive marketplace. I'm joined by my long-time business partner and coach, Tom Trush, to discuss the superior strategy of developing a Unique Advantage Point (UAP) - a powerful approach that focuses on the specific advantages you provide to customers rather than just being different. We reveal practical strategies for creating a UAP that makes you the obvious choice for clients, commands premium pricing, and eliminates apples-to-apples comparisons with competitors. Guest: Tom TrushGuest Bio: Business Coach at Predictable Profits, Marketing Strategist, and former Journalist KEY TAKEAWAYS: Competition extends beyond your industry - you're competing for your customer's dollar against all alternatives. USPs only tell how you're different; UAPs demonstrate specific customer advantages of working with you. Businesses without clear differentiation end up competing solely on price. Create proprietary processes with unique names to make services tangible and inimitable. Use data-backed claims about client results to establish powerful market differentiation. Leverage third-party credibility markers like media recognition and "highest-rated" status. Implement strong, unconventional guarantees to attract better clients while reducing refunds. Display your UAP prominently in all marketing materials for quick prospect recognition. Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats.

Learn how thinking like a racer can help you move faster and smarter in business. Winning in racing isn’t just about being the fastest on the track—it’s about strategy, precision, and making the right moves at the right time. The difference between first place and 20th can be a fraction of a second, just like the difference between a struggling business and a thriving one can come down to small, strategic shifts. Success in both worlds requires optimization, branding, and the ability to adapt quickly to new challenges. In this episode, we’re exploring the surprising connections between racing and business, including: The Power of Incremental Gains – Why small, smart changes make the biggest impact Building a Personal Brand – How reputation and visibility can fuel long-term success The Importance of Data – How to remove guesswork and make informed decisions that drive results We’ll also discuss the biggest mistakes people make—both in racing and business—and how to avoid them.

Learn how to use LinkedIn’s organic and paid strategies to attract leads and boost conversions. Most B2B marketers know that LinkedIn is a goldmine for leads, but few truly know how to tap into its full potential.

In this LinkedIn marketing masterclass, I’m breaking down the strategies that separate high-performing professionals from the rest: Organic Authority Building – How to create content that gets seen and sparks engagement Thought Leadership Ads – The secret to running high-impact ads at a fraction of the cost The 3-Stage Funnel Approach – A proven method to warm up cold prospects and drive more conversions Plus, we’ll reveal the top mistakes people make with LinkedIn Ads and how to avoid wasting money on campaigns that don’t convert.
