Today we have Joshua B. Lee, who runs a new venture called Standout Authority. He has a lot of experience and knows what to do with traffic having done this for legends in the marketing space for years. On today’s show, we are chatting about how to get engagement on LinkedIn and get real people to listen to you. We are diving back into LinkedIn lately ourselves, and on this show, you’ll hear why that is, and get some real a-ha moments as we did. Even if LinkedIn isn’t your jam, Joshua talks about the human algorithm and how he connects with folks in a unique way. He has a strategy to get into their world and figure out ways to collaborate or get them as a client, so it’s definitely applicable everywhere.  The dopamine hit is that initial conversation, and your value isn’t in likes but is in having a good conversation with people. Josh has definitely been on the other side as well, and we chat about how to really connect on LinkedIn without the dumpster fire full of spam. Plus, if you have an older account you don’t have to start over, and we talk about ways you can revitalize it. When you’re done be sure to check out our conversations with Will Wang and Josh Turner for more insight into how to leverage LinkedIn to improve your business relationships, how to grow a following organically, and how to use LinkedIn groups.  “There’s no B2B or B2C, there’s only H2H - Human to Human.” - Joshua B. Lee Some Topics We Discussed Include: Avoid doing these specific things on LinkedIn, especially if you do not want to be banned  The 10/20/70 content rule What your SSI score is on LinkedIn and how to improve it Why you want to include your job from high school on your profile How Josh was able to close a multi-million dollar deal with the help of Sales Navigator From buying selling traffic for MySpace to starting over again by moving back home with his folks How to get out of your home office “prison” and be completely open to your surroundings How talking like a 5th grader will improve your connections Examples of what to say when you are first connecting with someone - without being sales-y.

On today’s show we nerd out on a tool we have been using lately in a small way, but there’s a lot of potential with it for so many reasons. This episode is not just about the tool though, it’s all about the opportunities around you, how to do well as an affiliate, and other awesome concepts you will learn from Jordan Mederich, the man behind DropFunnels, one of the fastest-growing marketing tools on the market today. You’ll hear how he’s doing things differently and has carved his own way of solving a solution that no one else has done.  As most of you know, Matt is the go-to guy when it comes to tools, and has tested so many over the years, so when he heard about DropFunnels he set it up on his own site, MattWolfe.com. As far as page builders, it’s been the easiest for dialing in the look you want, from any of the other ones so far. Besides talking about the tool’s features, we talk about affiliate marketing, trends in business, how to scale and do it in an effective way. After the show, make sure to listen to our previous episodes with Taylor Welch and Ryan Levesque, which will give you even more insight on mindset, and how to use funnels to grow your business and use entry-level products in your funnel to drive higher ticket sales. “I realized that anyone selling anything, it doesn’t matter if it’s your product or if it’s an affiliate product, often affiliates sell it better than the person itself.” - Jordan Mederich Some Topics We Discussed Include: Shooting green screen videos in a closet - can you relate? When you realize what you are doing is not the right path for you What do you get when you mix chocolate and broccoli in your business? Keeping up with customer’s requests with lightning speed The real top of funnel that you may not be thinking of The rules of 3’s and 10’s and what to do when you get to $5K a month (which probably is easier than you think) Why you want to think like a bison in a storm The reasons your Facebook ads may be shut down and how to get on Facebook’s good side Why WordPress is vital to your business Resources From Jordan Mederich: HustleAndFlowchart.com/DropFunnels Free DropFunnels group on Facebook References and Links Mentioned: Ready, Fire, Aim by Michael Masteron Web Of Trust Are you ready to be EPIC with us?!
