Transcript
John:

Would you have an upset client if this was your cost per lead,

John:

of course, $1,500 a lead?

John:

Well, the flourish person has to identify as how many new customers

John:

are happening by your channel.

John:

Cuz your channel versus an affiliate channel are gonna have

John:

repeat rates that are gonna be a hundred percent different book.

John:

So that's one thing that's interesting is when you look at your CAC, you could

John:

also look at your, CAC versus your channel LTB, and then a lot of times Facebook has

John:

low AOB and LTB, but Google has high AOB and LTB because you warm them up and they

John:

continually go through the brand campaign.

John:

But then how often dare you gonna be paying for those people?

John:

Again, reason why Google ads agencies fail.

John:

this even works with lead generation.

John:

I'll give you just a snapshot , and everyone be honest.

John:

I want people to put this in the chat.

John:

Seriously.

John:

Would you have an upset client if this was your cost per lead?

John:

Of course, $1,500 a lead mm-hmm this year, they made 650,000.

John:

So.

John:

I spend a hundred K nice.

John:

Why?

John:

Well, they have a partner lead that comes in, it's a partner lead partner lead their

John:

average deal size about four to 6,000.

John:

The owner's a good owner.

John:

He goes, perfect.

John:

We're gonna take that $4,000.

John:

Then we're gonna sell them a reoccurring preventative maintenance program.

John:

And then we're gonna serve them a maintenance program.

John:

And then we're gonna look at all other equipment that, hospital has not just

John:

like , the MRI machine that needed a.

John:

I'm gonna take that bolt sale at three bucks, I'm gonna turn it into

John:

a hundred thousand dollars per month.

John:

Customer.

John:

They're really good at that.

John:

So when they say what's the, we don't even talk about cost relief,

John:

we talk about just cash and cash out.

John:

Mer media efficiency ratio.

John:

If I spend a hundred K what do I get?

John:

600 K how long does that take a year?

John:

John start to spend more.

John:

So it's, what's really interesting is by looking at just the previous

John:

period because my ears was funny.

John:

My cost per conversion.

John:

It's $1,500.

John:

It's always 16% difference.

John:

He's like here's $20,000 more because we've met every week.

John:

I go through every single one's leads.

John:

What happened to that chat lead?

John:

What happened to that phone call?

John:

What happened to this qualified lead?

John:

Your person answered.

John:

It said it was too far out of location.

John:

I think that's a mistake.

John:

Or should I adjust my campaigns?

John:

No salesperson should have never said that.

John:

Perfect.

John:

I meet with them every Thursday, nine o'clock in the.

John:

I know this company way better than I can.

John:

if they say John, your cost really $1,600.

John:

I'm like, ha good one.

John:

I'll hang up on him.

John:

And they'll be like, ah, that's pretty funny.

John:

Like, no one cares.

John:

It's not the metric we're looking at.

John:

We're looking at everything else.

John:

everyone's like, Hey, John's campaigns always have really good.

John:

Like Roaz and really good.

John:

CPA.

John:

No, I have a ton of clients sort of realizes one 20%, but the, or

John:

the CPA $1,600, they still love us.

John:

They've been on for.

John:

Why because I dig so deep that I understand their

John:

bottle better than they do.

John:

And I tell 'em, Hey, here's where you're failing.

John:

That's the best.

John:

That means we have to have access to the CMS or CRM, CMS four e-comm CRM,

John:

four Legion without a CMS or CRM access.

John:

There's no way for us to actually see what's happening.

John:

Yeah.

John:

And if they can't, here's the funny part though.

John:

They didn't have a CRM for their medical supply.

John:

So what I did every Thursday as I.

John:

What happened to that call?

John:

Yeah, that would Ari.

John:

You know what that didn't go into a deal.

John:

I'll follow that.

John:

Awesome.

John:

We had two more good quality leads that are coming in.

John:

What happened?

John:

Those two?

John:

That was a dud.

John:

That one was a bad lead.

John:

That was, they were just an old lady looking for a rocker.

John:

I think it's good.

John:

Okay.

John:

Let me know what happens to that one.

John:

How, and we literally go through the leads every single week.

John:

Here going to the contacts here.

John:

You'll see that there's one frequently used when you hit all filters.

John:

Most used properties, original source is paid traffic.

John:

And then I go through cool.

John:

And it, it sucks too.

John:

We're spending so much money.

John:

I got today, yesterday, yesterday, and I do this all right, boom, right here.

John:

And then right here and every Thursday I hop in and say, okay, this person

John:

here, we're looking at what type of lead This is what is the monthly cost.

John:

This one came in from Cisco SMARTnet.

John:

Cool.

John:

Is there a deal?

John:

Yes, there is a deal associated.

John:

Perfect company was created.

John:

What's going on with this deal at zero what's the potential goals while

John:

we have no idea, get back to me.

John:

that's the level that we have.

John:

I know everything that comes in, I know the quality I've already made

John:

changes based on what I saw come in.

John:

I'm verifying does the quality of lead actual quality I'm

John:

asking 'em for an update.

John:

So every time they join a meeting, it's like, oh crap.

John:

John's gonna ask about what's going on.

John:

you've already made changes.

John:

It's never like, Hey, these leads suck.

John:

That's the conversation.

John:

We should never have our client managers, our client advocates be looking saying,

John:

are we delivering you bad leads?

John:

Are we delivering you?

John:

Good leads.

John:

What happened with this lead?

John:

Why is it your sales team following up?

John:

Why is the deal.

John:

That has an annual revenue of a million dollars blank with no activity.

John:

Do we email 'em doesn't look like it.

John:

They'll never complain to me.

John:

I'm not the problem right now.

John:

Again, if we don't have the structure, we need it.

John:

If we do not have the structure.

John:

The reason why we don't need it is because the client's super happy and

John:

is gonna give us a glowing review.

John:

This is not a glitch I'm interrupting the video you're watching because I

John:

need to remind you that I'm always looking for people to join our team.

John:

thumbs up and try to do our channel.

John:

That's how we choose the YouTube algorithm.

John:

So they actually know that I know what I'm talking about.

John:

If you have questions, comments, concerns, or confessions hit

John:

me below in the comments.

John:

And now back to your regularly scheduled program, John, I have a quick question.

John:

Have you used lifetime Lee app?

John:

they're using it.

John:

And in that we are not able to see the repeat purchase ratio.

John:

Like you showed us in by the numbers.

John:

Like you get a number and then you multiply average auto value and

John:

then you get the lifetime value.

John:

Right.

John:

But in lifetime lead, you get three months, six months,

John:

nine months, 12 months.

John:

Lifetime value.

John:

So we are not able to calculate the lifetime value of a customer.

John:

Okay.

John:

Yeah.

John:

Actually I was just searching cause I was like, I just heard that this

John:

morning, lifetime, and I'm reading back through, I was on my notes cause

John:

says we've been looking at life timely.

John:

That's what it is.

John:

So actually has it here

John:

like timely.

John:

Go to my dashboard.

John:

It's under lifetime value.

John:

And then it shows some, table, something like analytics shows for lifetime value.

John:

I,

John:

this thing's gonna be a big beast.

John:

Looks like sucking everything.

John:

I love Shopify.

John:

It's amazing.

John:

They just corned the market and everything eCommerce related.

John:

It's fantastic.

John:

I'm just looking at I know show like wicked reports.

John:

Like this is the whole reason why this is loading.

John:

Wicker reports to this.

John:

Hey John, your cost for leads.

John:

78 bucks.

John:

Facebook's is 51.

John:

For cost required new customers, 1 0 7 Facebook's 1 38.

John:

I'm like, so we have a cheaper C more expensive CPL.

John:

They have a cheaper CPL, more expensive C I'm like, what crack are you smoking?

John:

Like looking at reports like that.

John:

it's a neat commerce store.

John:

What's it cost for lead?

John:

I hate attribution tools are at lifetime.

John:

Have to look through this here.

John:

Oh yeah, this is exactly what nor B has analytics and Whoa, who's that guy go?

John:

If you wanted to if you do first month acquired, if you wanted do this

John:

thing, same exact thing inside N.

John:

39 43

John:

returning rates.

John:

10%.

John:

Yep.

John:

10%.

John:

Which means that it goes from three.

John:

So 43 to 47 in two months.

John:

Yep.

John:

Yeah, here's, here's one thing to think about too, is when you look at

John:

the analytics of the store, and it shows a 40% returning customer rate,

John:

it's 40% that happened this last 30 days from all customers previously.

John:

So this is gonna say 9% return.

John:

In during the selected timeframe of the month.

John:

So in the month, from last six months, yes.

John:

This customer here has a two year LTV on average, that goes out to 1 44.

John:

when you look at everything, which is really interesting.

John:

So this one is the small snapshot of attributed customers in that

John:

timeframe when they're first require.

John:

You look back at everything.

John:

That's why, if you look here, there's no way they could be

John:

making 1.6 million again, next month off of returning customers.

John:

Cuz not that many return.

John:

So kind of a cool thing though.

John:

I love this tool.

John:

There it is.

John:

This is what north BMA, very, very similar.

John:

And then you look at like customer value or with refunds orders, accumulative

John:

marginal, or you can take out the first day to see what is the added.

John:

And then total or averaged.

John:

Do you know if this is total or averaged?

John:

This is accumulated.

John:

So

John:

this is cool.

John:

I'm definitely gonna play around with this thing for reminding me, cause I saw it in

John:

the slack this morning and I just haven't had a chance to take a look at it yet.

John:

How are you using this on.

John:

I don't know.

John:

So I was actually looking at customer behavior in that we have

John:

repurchase rate and repurchase rate.

John:

And they're also I'm getting like 30 days, 90 days, 180, 360.

John:

So I don't know which number should I take to calculate lifetime value.

John:

Well, for first has to identify as how many new customers are

John:

happening by your channel.

John:

Cuz your channel versus an affiliate channel are gonna have repeat

John:

rates that are gonna be a hundred percent different for each other.

John:

So that's one thing that's interesting is when you look at your C you can

John:

also look at your C versus your channel LTB, if that's possible inside of

John:

here, which I don't know if it is yet.

John:

But that's, and then a lot of times Facebook has.

John:

AOB and LTV, but Google has high AOB and LTV because you warm them up and they

John:

continually go through the brand campaign.

John:

But then how often are you gonna be paying for those people?

John:

Again, like we stopped pulling back on brand.

John:

I did this this morning with like, we had 45% more spend in our brand.

John:

We made one less sale physically, one less sale.

John:

So we're gonna stop doing so we wanna protect your brand.

John:

Where is Chuck and cash out the window?

John:

Am I am my C is higher now.

John:

Oh, that makes sense.

John:

And then now the CMO is sending me over a spreadsheet that I have to fill out

John:

so that he can see why and how, but again, it's just because everyone's

John:

looking at everything grouped together.

John:

Cool.

John:

I'm gonna check this out.

John:

Thank you for sharing this with me.

John:

This is really, really cool.

John:

I wish they had given us numerous of returning in a income statement.

John:

Cool.

John:

Anybody else have anything?

John:

Always John give a quick overview of why morphine's better than

John:

looking for Tyro and oh yeah.

John:

So the reason why it's better is Wiggen reports, Hiro, and other attribution

John:

tools use primarily UTM parameters.

John:

You, 10 parameters are only 60% accurate and most often favor the brand.

John:

And if they can't tie a view attribution, it just goes right back to Google.

John:

So record report shows Google better.

John:

Trip oil shows Google better.

John:

Hiro shows Google better, but then when you drop your spin on Facebook and all

John:

of a sudden the Google channel produces, it's like, how is that possible then?

John:

And then they say, well, that's actually we don't know, they'll

John:

tell you the exact same thing that everything else will tell you.

John:

Hey, the Roy has sucked on Facebook and it was great on

John:

Google and it's the same thing.

John:

Nor beam will say, Hey, your RO actually sucks on Google.

John:

Facebook was better.

John:

The only reason why Google was good is cuz Facebook was good.

John:

And then you can identify where, why and how, and then make those changes

John:

so that you know that even if you suck all the Facebook attribution

John:

that made Google good, where are you winning reallocate there.

John:

And now you have two challenges that grow out independently of each other,

John:

rather than Facebook or Google, just dying when Facebook dies.

John:

Can't tell many times we've been hired to say, yeah, our Facebook team was horrible.

John:

So I fired my Google agency.

John:

my God horrible reason to get hired, but that's just because they didn't

John:

know any better, why they tracked Roaz and Roaz dipped because why Facebook

John:

sucked and their brand campaign died.
