Clay Clark Client Testimonials | “I’ve Been a Client for Almost Exactly a Year. Every Week When We Track Our Numbers At Least 90% of Our New Clients Are From the Marketing Clay Clark Provides. Make Time for It.”

Audio Transcription

All right, Thrive Nation, we’re here with Rusty and his newest apprentice here, Daxton. And Rusty is the owner of Justice Tumbling. How long have you been a client there, sir?

A year exactly, almost.

How long did it take you to get to the top of page one of Google?

Almost after listening and being diligent on my homework, after a year we are at the top now in Google.

And are you and Daxton getting leads now as a result of being top in Google?

Every week when we track our numbers, when we ask how people, all our new clients have heard from us, at least 90% of those clients are just from Google.

And what would you say to somebody out there who’s listening today who is juggling a lot, they have a kid by the name of Daxton who they’re apprenticing, they’re running a business,

and they just don’t have time to get in on it, give contest incentives to your staff to do it just because in the long term it does work.

Hey all you potential thrivers out there, this is Jamie Fagel, I’m with Jameson Fine Cabinetry in Raleigh, North Carolina. I started with the Tri15 back in April of 2019. I came across Clay’s podcast when I was just kinda messing around one day when I was driving and they just tried to listen to educational things.

So I found his podcast and started laughing. I mean, it was just full of real down to earth, everyday business stuff that happens. Whereas a lot of the other things I come across, it’s just the same old, same old stuff that they just keep repeating. It doesn’t really go anywhere. So I listened to his podcast probably every day for about a week, week and a half.

Then I called him to check in on what it’s all about, the coaching program that they have. Clay called me, I think within three days of me talking to the first person who went through and did the follow-up and the walkthrough. So after talking to Clay, we decided to move forward with the program. I said I’ve been doing it since 2019 of April. Couldn’t be happier. When we first came aboard with Drive 15, we were not known on the internet. Nobody could find us. And now I’m on basically page one for all the important searches. There’s one more that we’re waiting to get to and

hopefully within another month we’ll be on page one of that. And with that, we’ve already seen an increase in business just from the website. That’s not including when I have a sale, before I go out to that sale to meet with a customer, I tell them to look on our website and check out our reviews and our testimonials. By the time I get to the customer’s house, that job’s already sold. Some of the other things that I’ve learned, I went to the seminar or the conference that they have up there.

I went to one of them in December and it was just great because you meet all the people who are struggling and going through the same things that you are going through. And then you have these real conversations. Conversations you don’t have with everyday people who are not running a business and don’t run into all the same things that you are trying to manage through while growing a business, protecting your money and keeping your customers all happy.

So a lot of the things that I’ve learned and one of the other big ones would be the group

interviews.

I would always do the same old thing. When I needed somebody, I’d post an ad and meet with one person at a time. Once I got tired of that, I picked the guy who was the best suited out of those three or four because I only had time to interview two or three people. I am doing a group interview, you get to see everybody in the same setting basically right in front of you.

You can tell a lot more by how they handle themselves, how they come to the interview, are they dressed to impress, do they have their pad, do they show up on time, all those things and it makes a huge difference. I have hired now four people from the group interviews and all of them are rock stars. Except for one. One guy didn’t quite work out, but that was probably more my fault than his. But the group interview is a solid thing. You’ve got to follow it. You’ve got to do it.

Some of the other things that we’ve done is the systems and processes. As much as you know that you need to do systems and processes, when you’re caught up in the day-to-day minutia of getting your business running. It’s really hard to focus on writing a process, but if you’re not doing those, your company is just not going to have that solid foundation that you need. I’ve gone through a lot of corporate jobs in my time, and I know all about the processes and the checklists and all that, but never got to do them. Once I started with 515, it was kind of part of our homework to get these things done. And as I see these checklists go into action and people are starting

to use them now and all of my employees are referring back to them, it’s a hell of a way to start training people. It just makes training a whole lot easier. You’re not trying to do that, you know, you got to tell them 15 times before they get a thing. They can hand them a book and say, here’s what your job entails, here’s all the things you need to do and here’s how you do it. The checklists are a great thing to get done. So right now, I mean, I said it’s moving along great. I highly recommend these guys. It’s one of the best things of my week. You know, it’s hard when you’re, you know, just

constantly pushing, pushing, pushing to take that time to work on your business. If you don’t take that time to work on your business, your business will not get any farther than where it is now. And if it does, it’s by chance, not by skill, and it won’t last. You really need to get a foundation. You need to have these guys in your corner so you can talk about the current situation you’re dealing with.

It’s not just a marketing company. These guys help you with marketing, they help you with business decisions, they help you with advertising, they talk about financials, everything that you need to have a good solid discussion with about your business. These guys are not part of your business, they’re not part of your family, they’re not your friends, they’re not anybody that you come and associate with.

They’re just there to help you grow your business. It’s a mastermind group. Works great. Really at this point we’re on course to grow our business 150% this year, even amidst the COVID-19 disaster that’s going on. And our state’s one of those things that can’t seem to figure out what’s the best thing to

do, so they don’t do anything. Lock it down and shut it down and all that. So even with the COVID-19, we’re on pace to grow 150%, and that’s phenomenal. And I attribute a lot of that to, or most of that to, my weekly conversations with Andrew and Clay. So, well done guys. I really appreciate it, and I hope you potential friars out there jump into it.

It’s a great thing.

Can’t beat it.

Thanks.

My name’s Adam.

I’m the owner of the Owasso Tip Top Canine location. Being top on Google is huge.

People only look so far for results. If you’re one of the first things that pops up, you’re going

to be the one that they call. It didn’t take us very long to get there. It might have taken to be the one that they call. It didn’t take us very long to get there. It might have taken

us a few months at the most. Just get the reviews, follow the system, works like a charm.
