Doing good work isn’t what makes a company successful.

Your ability to acquire paying customers is what will determine where your business takes you.

That and your ability to problem-solve.

That’s where growth comes from.

People aren’t hiring me? Why?

An easy explanation is that Meta ads suck. Marketers have ruined it for the rest of us. Small business owners are close-minded. People have unrealistic expectations. The economy sucks. People have no idea how hard I work. Google ads is too expensive. Everybody’s selling a course on how to build an AI marketing agency from scratch.

I could complain for days, but that doesn’t move the needle.

How can I get better results for clients?

How can I get Meta to work for me?

How can I convince business owners that they can trust me?

Is my pricing actually fair? Can it be adjusted?

Am I spending enough on ads?

Is my pitch not compelling enough?

These are the questions that will actually yield solutions.

Everything else is out my control.

Nothing just gets better as time goes on. If you want to see change, you need to make change.

This client rented 7 dumpsters in one day JUST from Google Ads. I can’t take credit for that, though.

Not everybody closes deals like this.

Making the phone ring is one thing - turning those calls into customers is another.

In an industry like dumpster rentals, the cold hard reality is that price matters.

Great prices -> better ads -> people call knowing the price -> they actually book.

It’s okay to not land every call…. But if you’re hearing “No” or “I’ll get back to you” 80% of the time, scaling and even staying above water will be extremely challenging.

No amount of marketing or advertising is going to save you.

“Price Shoppers” are the market in the dumpster/junk removal game, and there’s no magic pool of customers that are blindly calling the first company they find on Google and paying whatever it is they’re asking.

Only the strong survive.

$1100 small bathroom job from a $19 lead on Google Ads. I love working with Handyman businesses.

Industry: Dumpsters

Super competitive market.

116 leads in 30 days, $25 cost per lead, 51% conversion rate.

Pay attention to your competitors, strive to be competitive, and Google Ads feels illegal.

10X+ ROI is possible - but talent alone won’t make that happen.

You need a high close rate.

The better your offer, the better your ads (and CSR) will perform.

Started running ads for this demolition company in November.

In 4 Months, we spent roughly $8500 on ads, and in return, generated $85,000 in front end revenue.

That’s a 10x ROI, and when factoring in repeat business, we generated over $160,000 in revenue. This brings our ROI to 20x.
