Prospects move towards a transaction at three different speeds - slow, medium, and fast. Although our industry is filled with medium movers or those who wait around before making a purchase, it’s in your best interest to redesign marketing strategies that focus on the smaller percentage - the fast movers.
In this episode, I share my insights and takeaways from my chat with Nicholas Kusmich in episode 072 - The Fast Movers' Advantage.
I’ll discuss why I agree with Nicholas that fast prospects are the better prospects to focus on in your business.
Fast prospects are very conscious of their time and want solutions fast, thus they don’t want to go through numerous steps just to get the result and because of this, they are willing to pay more.
Nevertheless, you still need to employ systems that allow you to nurture relationships with your other prospects who don’t make buying decisions at the same speed. But since we’ve been educated on how to deal with medium and slow movers, it’s now time to think of unique and guaranteed strategies that can help to engage with a fast mover.
Throughout this episode, you’ll learn the questions you need to ask yourself to build a structure around fast prospects, the impact of having offers that best cater to them, and why they drive the results that your business needs. -
In the world of marketing, small changes in how we think can make a big difference. Instead of focusing on the way we sell things, it's important to think about the people who might want to buy them. When business owners understand this, their marketing plans become easier and more successful.
In this episode, I have an exciting discussion with Nicholas Kusmich about the fast track to business success: how to effectively communicate and market to solution seekers. Nicholas is your go-to guy if you want to get more clients and rapidly increase business revenue by running high yielding Facebook Advertising Campaigns. He’s also the legend behind the highest campaign ROIs in the world - a powerful 30,973.32%.
Traditional marketing models often revolve around the sales funnel, which focuses on what Nicholas calls the medium movers or information seekers who take their precious time to make a decision.
However, there’s an emerging recognition among marketers that there are prospects who are ready to buy, want to get solutions immediately, and most importantly, are willing to pay a premium price to get the results they want. He aptly tags them as fast movers or solution seekers.
It’s inevitable that you will encounter all three speed prospects (fast, medium and slow buyers) in business, so it’s essential to have intentional business processes that target all of them. Above all, you have to know what actions to take when a fast mover strikes and take advantage of how they impact your business success. -
We’re currently living in a time where there’s a massive and continuously growing interest in Artificial Intelligence. And this expands over every industry - businesses, various professions, and even schools.

In this episode, I discuss the lessons I learned from my conversation in episode 70 about Journey into the Future of AI: Risks, Regulations, and Rewards Explored with Mike Rhodes.
I’ll be sharing my insights on why there is no better time to take advantage of AI in your business than now.
Mike and I share the same sentiment about using AI in business - not taking advantage of its benefits will only hamper your ability to stay competitive in your industry. Although you don’t need to know every bit of detail about AI technology, you do need to understand what’s possible for your business.
However, Mike and I also acknowledge the possible risks of AI when used by the wrong people. We place an emphasis on “just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should.”
In this episode you’ll get a glimpse of how AI technologies can revolutionise the way you operate in business, how it can lead you to greater opportunities, and why leveraging it now will serve as your business’s competitive advantage. -
We’re at the dawn of a new era of technology - we’re seeing massive changes brought about by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and there’s just no stopping it. AI holds the potential to revolutionise any industry and as a business owner, how can you take advantage of its opportunities and avert risks (if at all possible)?
In this episode, we talk about exploring the uncharted waters of AI: examining the risks, regulations, and opportunities it presents with Mike Rhodes. His passion for the future of AI and Machine Learning has helped create more profitable businesses.
Mike has over two decades experience in the digital marketing agency and has established his award-winning Melbourne-based digital agency WebSavvy with the purpose of helping small businesses grow. He also co-authored The Ultimate Guide to Google Ads, the world’s best-selling book on Google Ads, with over 130,000 copies sold.
Most people think that AI is just a recent invention because of the sudden popularity it’s gaining from a wider range of audiences. However, AI tools have long been a part of the e-commerce industry to lessen costs that go to models and productions.
From there, AI paved the way for huge advancements in various industries and some of the benefits include - an increase in efficiency and productivity, improved monitoring of business processes, excellent customer service, etc.
Nevertheless, no matter how great AI sounds, it comes with potential risks, and with no standard regulations in place, it can cause serious damage to a brand or any person.
Learn more from Mike’s AI expertise and discover how these powerful tech tools can be used to enhance how you manage your team and business. -

For entrepreneurs and business owners, building wealth is often closely tied to the success of their business. However, it's important to diversify investments and build wealth outside of the business to ensure long-term financial stability.

Do you often feel overwhelmed with the number of tasks on your weekly to-do list?
It’s overwhelming to have a task or project hanging over your head for days or weeks at a time. Sure, it can be hard to delegate — especially if no one else is as qualified or passionate about it as you are.
But delegating tasks isn’t just beneficial for helping us stay organised and on track; it's also critical in order to maximise team efficiency and divert resources into more important areas that need attention.

One of the biggest debates among people, both in personal and professional circles, is how much money one needs to be classified as "rich". To some, it may simply mean having enough to afford the basics. For others, it might involve more complex criteria for maintaining a certain lifestyle that requires you to have an unlimited bank account.
This can be a difficult topic to decipher due to everyone's individual opinions - but no matter where you fall on the spectrum of wealth accumulation, there are several perspectives worth exploring when considering what constitutes being "rich".
Most of us have a vague understanding of what it means to be rich. Generally, we know that the definition of richness isn't the same for everyone, and depends on factors like location, income level, and lifestyle choices. -
