Guys, Y’all may be sick of hearing these stories but I still get a kick out of it. I just had a conference call with a pain management center in Arkansas. Come to find out before we even spoke, the purchaser had printed off several

  • f my blogs to bring to her board meeting. It enabled her to answer questions on comparison models, budgets,

what equipment they needed etc. She had read and seen so much of our content she said she couldn’t wait to talk to me. She told me who my competitors were and how much they were quoting. Even when I told her we would likely charge more, she said “but I trust you guys, I’d rather work with you”. I realize they don’t all line up like this, but when our funnel is working at its best it’s so so so sweet…I’m sure I could still find a way to screw up the deal but the point is, I couldn’t be better set up to succeed. The effort to produce the content is WORTH IT! Thank you to the stellar efforts of the marketing team for really setting us apart.
