Time-Stamped Show Notes:
[00:28] Today’s Topic: Top Marketing Tools to Win Business Without Being Sleazy
[00:35] An email service provider helps you send good content and increase business in a non-sleazy way.
[01:02] Reaching out to customers or other companies individually provides value and goes a long way in retaining their patronage.
[01:05] Neil also recommends checking out WebinarJam, because you can promote a product or service through “educating” clients.
[02:00] WebinarJam is the best service, as they offer better tools to optimize your business.
[02:50] Have some form of live chat available on your site.  Intercom or Drift are great services for this, as they are more relaxed and conversational.
[03:50] At Nextcon, Eric and Neil spoke with the conference founder who said he gets his customers through a three-way split: lead forms, phone numbers, live chat.
[04:26] Tubebuddy allows you to schedule posts on Facebook and is a great YouTube analytics tool.
[05:27] You can also try VideoRemix or PicSnippets for images.
[05:45] Personalized messages always perform better. People also respond to quirky content.
[06:35] MixMax is an email follow-up tool that Neil swears by; you can schedule email sequences.
[07:24] “The fortune is in the follow-up”
[07:45] That’s all for today!
[07:47] Supermetrics makes it easy to set up good-looking reports that make sense. To learn more go to Supermetrics.com/marketingschool.
