Twelve months from quitting a business he had run for thirty years, after two other “experts” delivered no results.
MOVES
A new website, SEO to page one for “church insurance quotes,” Meta and Google ads, an e-book in his voice, and a funnel that sent every lead to his phone.
RESULT
441 leads in a single year. His carrier’s top producer in Florida, three years in a row.
“I knew I was behind the curve with web sites, SEO’s and all the newer forms of marketing. I also knew my competitors were winning by doing those things I resisted due to ignorance and pride. I was 12 months from quitting my business of 30 years. I was frustrated and going backwards.
Mikel came highly recommended to me. After trying two other people who told me they were experts (no results) I was skeptical but had to try.
It took 3-4 months of working together before results starting changing my outlook and attitude. Now, I am excited about working again. I have new dreams. I have been the company’s top producer in Florida the last three years in a row.
It is work but the effort is worth it.
If not for our partnership I would have sold my agency.
Thanks Mikel.”
