Profiting with Relationship Funnels: Interview with Landon Porter KDS: 016
This is one of those episodes where I highly recommend you get a pen & paper ready or open a note-taking tool, you’re going to need it. Landon Porter, of “Getting Clients Without Being Salesy” joins me on the podcast and we go deep into where marketing is heading and why ‘old school marketing’ methods aren’t working the way they used to (can I get an Amen?).
Landon and I connected earlier this year and I’m super grateful we did (although it may have been the end of 2017 now that I think of it…). He’s one of those people that I instantly felt like I had known for a long time (in a good way).
If you joined me for the Content Creators Summit back in March, you may remember Landon from that. Whether you did or didn’t, you’re in for a real treat. I’ve watched him grow a very successful Facebook Group (over 15k people now) and it’s been super inspiring for me with my own Facebook Group.
One of the things I love most about what Landon and his team are doing (he has a great team, including his wife Ash Tuesday Porter who helps drive their amazing Facebook Group) is that everything they teach and talk about is do-able. They teach solid fundamentals and strategies that will help you build a solid business. My guess is this will be an episode you come back to more than once.
