 Welcome everybody Jamil from the work from anywhere accelerator here. I appreciate you taking the time to take a look at this interview And we have Eric Haskin with us today. So Eric, why don't you introduce yourself? Tell us a little bit about you Hey, so yeah Eric Haskin and I'm I've been in software for a long time but also building websites for last few years and I came across Christian Martin on Facebook and through his ads and decided To join the work from anywhere accelerator a few months ago so I'm just it digital marketing just like you guys are and I Like it love it and enjoying the the ride and the work from anywhere accelerator program Awesome. So when you came on board you saw you saw the webinar and all What were some of the first steps that you took when you signed on board? Well, it was Training so I just I took the I went through the first all the steps, you know And then tracking and doing the things that are mindset related and setting your habits and so I really liked the first a couple modules And I consumed that information probably two or three times in the first week Which is a lot to watch in a week Multiple times, but I did that and then once I had done that I started you know from there. I just started The the quick lead generation things that you can do like updating your profiles on Facebook and LinkedIn and And then I started reaching out to group on the whole Quick group on things and I landed the client like the first couple days first. It was the second week And so then it was like, oh my gosh, now I have to figure out how to do Facebook ads I have to figure out how to write the copy after Which the the beautiful thing too about the program is these are proven campaigns and are already written for you. So Obviously, you need to check your market and check your client up the client you're working with and their business to make the Copy more for them and the ads more for them But that was kind of the the first thing I did was training and then just started calling on clients and so it's It's just part of the daily grind now. It's the habit, you know, I have my Things going every day and auto responders and different things that I've got set up now because of what I've learned in the program So it's just that's what that's how it first started. I guess it's to answer your question Awesome. And so how familiar with you with the idea of Facebook ads and funnel templates and running sales funnels before you joined in I was more on the web development side and WordPress websites and Enterprise software development. So I hadn't really gotten into digital marketing specific, you know Targeting specific people on those platforms so that you can get your message in front of the right crowd And that I think that's one of the things I've learned is is it's really about The message and the offer that you're putting in front of but you have to put it in front of the right people to get the Response you need and then once once you get the response you need then it's Optimizing your funnel. So there's a few steps in there and I didn't know any of that stuff Obviously, I know about you know good copy on the web pages and Images and things like that, but That the interruption marketing some of the things that Christian talks about and that you've talked about Over the course of last few weeks since you've been involved in the training part for us Have you know been very Influential in how I'm running my agency One of the things that I've gotten a lot of response from is when I have results And I post those results people are like, oh my gosh, I need this so like first client I had I started posting their results and then all of my friends are like, what are you doing? You know, how you do you know, I need to you know, I have a friend of mine that's works with people that have sports injuries and he's a chiropractor and So I'm gonna rebuild his website start him But it was all because of the results. I was posting years like, you know, I've been watching this and I really I'm interested now So, you know, help me build my business. That's what I'm doing. That's awesome So obviously you've had some pretty awesome successes in the last little bit since you joined on board Ted tell us a bit about the wins like what clients you brought on board what results you've got for some of those folks so the first one was a massage therapist and He was a paying client right out of the gate but his that the whole thing with him was he was paying Groupon they were taking half and we can build him a funnel that He hasn't have to pay that kind of money to Groupon and so it's really changed his business first week We got seven leads. I wasn't really good at it then but after refining and working with you and Brittany on The landing page and some of the other stuff that we were able to do He got 18 leads in a week just a couple weeks ago So it was like awesome And that's more than he has time in his schedule for really because he only does That massage for four days a week or something like that. So anyway, that was one Then I got another client that is a thought leader and coach person and she's Got a training that she's built We haven't launched hers yet because all of her training isn't ready and stuff But I've got all the stuff built ready for it. It just hasn't been launched yet. So we're waiting to do that I'm really looking to get into the financial advisor space And so you helped me what we created a funnel for a question and quiz and Some copy for that for financial planners and financial advisors So I've got a trial client and we're about to launch their campaigns in the next week He's a little bit cautious and conservative So he's wanting to review the copy and review the questions and do a lot of things like that So we're not we're going a little slower than I'd like to have you know I'd like to have launched it last week, but it's probably not going to launch till next week And then I've got another client that's in the insurance space and benefits so he does he's a mortgage broker an insurance broker and So he works with businesses from five to fifty employees and we just launched his first ad about three hours ago so I had a little review call with him and now we launched his first ad and so it's currently sitting in the Facebook's review under review. So once that they approve it, we'll start to see those leads, but also use some of the cool technique to do with Zapier and you know so that as soon as the lead comes in you're going to get a text message and it's Really cool when you can tie some of the systems together and having the training and the knowledge base that you guys have to share that with the community Has been a very big benefit for me. That's cool So you said you're here about a month in and you have what five five clients between trials and all Yeah Think it's four four clients Yeah, that's killer. That's good. That's really awesome work there But the other one the other one that's a chiropractor. He wants me to read to his website first and then he's gonna start to lead Jen in a couple months, but That situation because he's a friend I didn't push him too hard in the sales column that was just yesterday So he's got to review it with his wife and that kind of thing but as soon as he's on board That'll be another so yeah, that'll be five clients and since I started In march Okay, the end of march Yeah, that's awesome. That's phenomenal. So I mean obviously you have a really solid ramp up that happened right there so I guess what's uh What's your best advice for folks that might be hitting a wall or might be saying, you know, how do I get that first client? It's consistency like I do this the legion is every single day like um My computer runs probably non-stop and I think The reason i'm on my phone and not my computer is because i've got a fan whistle going on So whenever I run a call through the thick it does whoo whoo whoo sounds like something in the background but anyhow It's it's the consistency of delivery. So I think I'm I'm always Reaching out the people communicating and I'm giving you know when I have strategy sessions I've kind of I've already got their information. I've already taken a look at their website their facebook pages their linkedin pages and And so I've got a mindset of you know things that I can help them with But I don't hit them with that right off the bat You know I go through the sales grip And then once we get towards the end of that, you know, it's a conversation about how it can help and here's some things That I've noticed just from looking at their sites um, and they're you know different profiles what we could do as some quick wins And I think people enjoy that or like that benefit, but The other thing is um is being real with people. So you have to treat these I mean, they're not just numbers, right? They're people just like we are so I'm building relationships and whether I Land somebody right now or I land somebody a month from now Based on our conversation. So um one of my I didn't even tell you about this one It's a it's a commercial cleaning business here in my hometown And I just landed that one and he paid me on a thursday last week But um, that was a face-to-face meeting and it was a conversation And it was a month and a half ago when I sat down with him and he said I'm planning on doing something in the summertime But right now I'm too busy with uh new hires and employees and some new clients. So we just brought on Um, so I thought I was I was never going to get that client, right? I was going to be a no No deal, but um last week he reached out to me and said I'm ready to start and I was like What? I thought that was a goner, right? It was like, you know, I've got to think about it kind of thing It wasn't he was ready to do it back then, but he just had some other things had to get done so I'm I'm all about Getting the sale right now when I'm on the phone with somebody But I realized that um, they could use some other they may need time And so I will follow up with people So I've got another person that is interested to see how the insurance phone goes with the The current client I just launched today and if it goes well Um, you know, she'll sign up Next month just depends on how many leads we get, you know And my results and I'll share my results with her and you know at some point she'll say okay. I'm ready Let's do this because people that's the thing that I that that you have to understand too is that these other business owners they need leads in order for their business to survive and so They have to do it one way or the other whether they join a networking group or they have You know good contacts or they they stumble upon and they have some referral group that they're part of that Brings in leads their way We all need leads as small business owners to survive and it's you know, how do you get those and doing it this way? um freeze up your time because it's You're just paying for ads and it's dropping it right into a funnel where you can use that to communicate to the clients so it's It's very automated and getting them to understand that and that it works is Is the challenge in that sales call but once they understand it works or if they see those results posts Boom, you know, you're there. So I think that's the big thing Jamil if if we all could have a A case study or a client that really worked You know, these are proven campaigns that we're using but I've never run it before right I've never done a mortgage broker campaign or I've never done a real estate agent campaign So those agents are looking at me thinking can he really do this, you know get a trust that he's going to do it um, and so Once you have results That the cell is much easier, you know results and testimonials Yeah, that one result of hey, I can you know, here's what I spent. Here's the leads that came in Here's just how automated that was That's phenomenal. I actually that's absolutely phenomenal. I appreciate you taking the time I I definitely hope this helps quite a few folks because consistency is It's king, especially when it comes to prospecting and bringing in clients. So that's phenomenal phenomenal advice So thanks again for for taking the time. This has been absolutely phenomenal chat. Um, and yeah, we'll we'll connect you after this
