A 4-Step System To Grow Your Business

The Digital Slice Podcast is brought to you by The Friedman Group, LLC

Join Brad Friedman and David St. Germain as they chat about a variety of tactics to grow your business, including having more than one lead strategy.

Business Growth Expert David St Germain has a unique experience on how he became one of the most in-demand, and highest paid business growth consultants.

David started in door to door sales when he was just 18 years old. He took the job because at the time he didn’t like waking up early and could start work in the early afternoon. A natural entrepreneur, David took his money from his door to door commissions and began reading books about business and success, and started testing the waters of different small business ventures.

For the first 10 years, David failed at almost every business idea he attempted. But he kept reading and studying, attending dozens of business seminars and reading over 1,000 books.

By his late 20’s David started to have his first real success. After a couple years of having some mild success (6 figure business), he stumbled into his first big success. David then built a B2B business from almost nothing to over 14 Million dollars a year within 5 years achieving a 27,000% growth rate!

David then started a B2C business, and also took that business to over 8-Figures in sales. After 12 years running these companies David exited the businesses in late 2023 and decided to focus on business growth consulting for companies that want to grow their business fast.

David lives between Vancouver, Canada & Miami, Florida.

In this Episode:

David talks about looking at lead flow and sales when working with a business that wants to gorw.
David shares with us his “4 Pillars of Business Growth.”
David says your business needs to evolve, or die.
David discusses the need to differentiate yourself, or get crushed.
David also talks about the importance of having more than one lead strategy.

Quotes from this Episode:
“Some things you just learn by sort of getting smacked in the face by a metaphorical two by four.” – David St. Germain
“You need more cash than you think you're going to need when growing a business .” – David St. Germain
“Number one is that you should have more than one thing going on.” – David St. Germain
“ I think a lot of people might go in with no plan and just think the leads convert themselves.” – David St. Germain
“You know, in person is the best. Second best is on the phone.” – David St. Germain

Join Brad Friedman and Hannah Balliet as they chat about tools and tactics to help you create lead generation campaigns guaranteed to generate new customers…..

Hannah Balliet is the passionate and purposeful leader of the Social Media Department at Ugly Mug Marketing. Over the past four years, she has grown her department by over 340% and has worked alongside hundreds of small business owners and entrepreneurs as they navigate the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.

After launching over 4,000 social media campaigns, Hannah has had a front-row seat to the challenges and rewards marketers face today. From private clients to social media masterclasses, Hannah brings her expertise and energy as she teaches clients how to use social media to scale their business, generate leads and achieve results.

In this Episode:

Hannah talks about her work with lead generation campaigns on Facebook.
Hannah says she used Zapier to take a lead from Facebook, send it to a spreadsheet and then to a customer service rep and their CRM.
Hannah thinks Facebook rewards people for using their native lead gen tools rather than pushing people to a website.
Hannah discusses troubling statistics on the number of people that see what you post on Facebook.
Hannah also talks about various tactics to generate new customers.

Quotes from this Episode:
“I just think lead generation is something that people maybe don't understand a lot about.” – Hannah Balliet
“Tomorrow we could wake up and Instagram could be gone. And so if you have 500 followers, 5,000 or 50,000 followers, do you have a way to communicate with them if that were to go away?” – Hannah Balliet
“Your email list is your direct line to your customers. And you have control over how many people see that message and exactly when they see that message.” – Hannah Balliet
“I think 1.8% of your followers on average, like on Instagram and on Facebook actually see your organic content.” – Hannah Balliet
“We really need to understand the end users perception. Because their perception is the reality of the benefits of your product or service.” – Hannah Balliet
