Episode 42: From Navy Pilot to Auto Shop Marketing Pro - James Griffin’s Journey to Niche Domination
Description
In this After Hours episode of Minding Your Business, CJ and Aaron sit down with James Griffin, founder of Auto Shop Marketing Pros, to uncover how he went from flying Navy jets to helping auto shops dominate online. James shares how he found his niche, why Google search ads are a goldmine, and how his sales process evolved from cold calls to an automated client pipeline.
We talk war stories from the marketing trenches - targeting Ferrari owners with bad websites, capitalizing on hailstorms, and why some shops are too booked for their own good. Whether you run a shop, market for one, or just love business growth strategies, this one’s packed with actionable takeaways and a few laughs along the way.
