  • Why 80% of B2B buyers complete 70% of their buying process before ever talking to vendors
  • The critical mistake most companies make in B2B sales messaging
  • How one simple change took a client's close rate from 10% to 35%
  • Why selling to "businesses" kills deals (and what to focus on instead)
  • The counterintuitive way to turn general counsel into your biggest advocate

Steve also discusses his framework for helping CEOs gain clarity, energy and momentum in their sales process - without getting stuck in complexity.

Most businesses waste thousands throwing ads at cold audiences, hoping something sticks. Jamie Gilleland knew there had to be a better way.

After building multiple seven-figure companies through marketing automation, Jamie now leads Rift Social - where she's flipped the script on social media marketing.

Her revolutionary "RIF" method (Reach, Impact, Frequency) first builds audiences of 3,000-10,000 engaged viewers through strategic video content before deploying targeted paid campaigns.

The approach cuts through the noise of traditional advertising by focusing first on building trust and authority. Only then does Jamie target paid ads at people who've already shown genuine interest - leading to dramatically lower costs per lead and higher conversion rates.

Key takeaways from this episode:

  • The step-by-step RIF method for building engaged audiences
  • How to create compelling video content efficiently
  • Why most Facebook ad strategies fail
  • Tips for authentic social media presence
  • The power of batching content creation

]]>Traditional Facebook advertising is broken. Most businesses waste thousands throwing ads at cold audiences, hoping something sticks. Jamie Gilleland knew there had to be a better way.

After building multiple seven-figure companies through marketing automation, Jamie now leads Rift Social - where she's flipped the script on social media marketing.

Her revolutionary "RIF" method (Reach, Impact, Frequency) first builds audiences of 3,000-10,000 engaged viewers through strategic video content before deploying targeted paid campaigns.

The approach cuts through the noise of traditional advertising by focusing first on building trust and authority. Only then does Jamie target paid ads at people who've already shown genuine interest - leading to dramatically lower costs per lead and higher conversion rates.

Key takeaways from this episode:

  • The step-by-step RIF method for building engaged audiences
  • How to create compelling video content efficiently
  • Why most Facebook ad strategies fail
  • Tips for authentic social media presence
  • The power of batching content creation
  • A simpler approach to social media advertising costs
