Key Quotes

"If you're going to go in there, don't just walk in a room and shout what you're saying and go out. Treat it as if it's a group of people—not a place to just spray and pray."

"No matter what business it is—if it's selling a product, if it's shiny, if it's Lamborghinis or diamond rings—behind all of that is a team that makes that happen. Tell everybody about it!"

"If you got 20 leads right now into your business, where would they go and what would happen with them? If you don't have an answer to that, there's something you need to look at."

"Customers will hop from one platform to the other to get what they are looking for. They won't just take a five-star review as gospel."

"I'm not against AI—but use it in collaboration, in conjunction. You can't solely rely on it."

Quick Takeaways

1. Lead with value in communities — Treat Facebook Groups and online forums like rooms full of real people, not billboards.


2. Ask the "20 leads" question — If 20 leads came in today, do you know where they'd go and what would happen? If not, fix your funnel.


3. No industry is boring — The more "boring" your business seems, the more passionate your niche audience likely is. Feature your team and customers.


4. Search Everywhere Optimization matters — Customers now verify across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and Google before buying. Consistency builds trust.


5. Co-marketing beats competition — Partner with adjacent businesses to share audiences and marketing resources.


6. AI is a tool, not a strategy — Use AI to assist, but don't let it replace authentic content and human judgment.
