Time-Stamped Show Notes: [00:28] Today’s Topic: Top Marketing Tools to Win Business Without Being Sleazy [00:35] An email service provider helps you send good content and increase business in a non-sleazy way. [01:02] Reaching out to customers or other companies individually provides value and goes a long way in retaining their patronage. [01:05] Neil also recommends checking out WebinarJam, because you can promote a product or service through “educating” clients. [02:00] WebinarJam is the best service, as they offer better tools to optimize your business. [02:50] Have some form of live chat available on your site. Intercom or Drift are great services for this, as they are more relaxed and conversational. [03:50] At Nextcon, Eric and Neil spoke with the conference founder who said he gets his customers through a three-way split: lead forms, phone numbers, live chat. [04:26] Tubebuddy allows you to schedule posts on Facebook and is a great YouTube analytics tool. [05:27] You can also try VideoRemix or PicSnippets for images. [05:45] Personalized messages always perform better. People also respond to quirky content. [06:35] MixMax is an email follow-up tool that Neil swears by; you can schedule email sequences. [07:24] “The fortune is in the follow-up” [07:45] That’s all for today! [07:47] Supermetrics makes it easy to set up good-looking reports that make sense.
