  • SEO is amazing for getting you found when people don’t know who you are. But let’s be real – as local business owners, what we really want is to be the first name that pops into people’s minds when they need what we offer. That’s where the magic happens.


    Enter Luke Wolf – a mortgage lender who’s taken a totally different approach to becoming unforgettable. Luke created The Social Minute, an online community that’s all about connecting local professionals, sharing insights, and building relationships that last.

    In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to show up, get in the room, and build a network that supports your business. We’ll cover the do’s and don’ts of networking, what Luke and I have learned along the way, and some great tips if you’re more of an introvert (I see you!).

    Plus, you’ve got to check out The Social Minute – it’s a genius way for business owners to connect, collaborate, and find their next great referral partner. Remember, your network is your net worth!

  • Welcome to another episode of Brick and Mortar Visibility! Today, we’re diving into something that, frankly, a lot of business owners overlook.

    Do you ever find yourself focusing so hard on attracting new leads that you forget about the goldmine of people who’ve already raised their hands for your freebie or one-time offer? Those leads are just sitting there collecting dust in your database, waiting to be re-engaged.

    But what if, instead of chasing new leads, we focused some of our marketing efforts on nurturing those existing contacts? Here’s the kicker: re-engaging current customers is so much more cost-effective—five to 10 times less expensive, in fact, than attracting brand-new ones.

    So, what can we do to tap into this untapped potential? Well, that’s why I’m thrilled to have Jason Kramer on the podcast!

    Jason is the founder of Cultivize, a CRM consulting firm that helps companies identify, nurture, and transform leads into real revenue. With over 15 years of experience running a creative agency, Jason saw firsthand where businesses were missing out—especially in their marketing and sales funnels. So, he launched Cultivize to provide customized CRM solutions for distributors, service providers, marketing agencies, and manufacturers. Jason’s expertise helps businesses connect their prospect and customer data with their marketing campaigns and sales activities.

    When he’s not geeking out over CRM strategies, Jason is enjoying family time with his wife, two kids, and two dogs in their vibrant New York home.

    In today’s episode, we’ll talk about what to look for in a CRM, how to maximize its value, and hear real-life success stories from clients who’ve made serious bank by nurturing their current client lists. It’s a reminder we all need: your current customers are your best asset. If you’re not taking care of them, you’re leaving money on the table.

    And if you’re anything like me and you want to really dive into this work over the next 90 days—or maybe you’ve got a task that’s been sitting on your to-do list for way too long—consider joining Level Up, my monthly mastermind. It’s a space where we learn, support, and empower ourselves to hit that next level in our businesses.

  • Ready to be the ONLY option in town? That’s exactly what we’re diving into today. And we’re literally talking about your store front!

    In this episode, we’re getting down to business—brick-and-mortar style. This was inspired by a recent strategy session with a super-smart business owner who’s considering investing in a store front. But before jumping in, they wanted to make sure they were asking all the right questions. Smart, right?

    Now, while we can’t predict the future, we can set ourselves up for success. That’s why I’m sharing 10 must-ask questions to consider before investing in your first, second, or even third brick-and-mortar location. Whether you're in the process of renting a space or just dreaming about it, you’ll want to tune in!

    And because this is a conversation, I’d love for YOU—especially those who’ve been down this road—to share your tips or any concerns I may have missed. We're in this together, and this community is all about helping each other rise!

  • Today, we're diving into another awesome listener question: How long does it take to see SEO results, and how do we know it’s working? Spoiler alert—SEO isn't an overnight fix, but how long should it really take? And more importantly, where can you find the proof?

    A bit about our guest:
    After 13 years teaching middle school (love that age!) and doing business development part-time, I jumped into business full time.

    In 2006 the hubs and I bought an 21-room historic boutique hotel, built in 1907.

    No furniture, no clientele, (last time it was open for guests was in the 1940’s), AND it was located in a town population 600 (no, I didn’t miss a zero!). Yes, Mayberry. To say that we were ‘not on the map’ was 100% accurate.

    Adding to the challenge, the hotel was sitting on acre of tired grounds in desperate need of a landscaping update.

    Oh, there were some Gone with the Wind drapes which my MacGyver level talented sister used to mock me up a dress. Yes, I wore it, pins and all, and made my dramatic entrance down the staircase to the lobby.

    Some thought I was crazy for purchasing the hotel, others thought I was a genius with vision.

    I needed to figure out how to get us ‘on the map’, attract clientele that was two hours away, hire, train, and inspire staff, and grow the business. Oh, do all this and not drive myself into the ground.

    Thankfully because I had crap for a marketing budget I stumbled on a different way to grow. A better way.

    Our clientele grew quickly, top priority was hiring and training a team that assist in our growth.

    How did I do it? By transforming People into Partners. By finding the RIGHT people, supporting, and equipping them to consistenly give amazing Customer Experiences.

    You can take advantage of the training used to increase employee retention, increase guest return visits, garner excellent on-line reviews, and put us on the map!
