Marvin is a top-ranked, nationally recognized financial advisor with a focus on helping people invest & save more wisely for their golden years. As the founder of Compass Retirement Solutions, his team leverages MyOutDesk virtual assistants for both administrative & inside sales roles, and on average, they’re making him over a 20x ROI – and sometimes even more.
“My virtual assistant made me $43,000 in commissions less than half an hour ago, so if you’re still on the fence about hiring one, my advice is: just do it. The ROI on our virtual assistants is amazing – it’s definitely going to finish the year over 20x…”
Marvin isn’t just leveraging his ISAs for prospecting: he’s also using them to prequalify prospects, which saves his team of advisors countless hours – and lets them focus on advising only qualified prospects who are ready to take advantage of his expertise. This is only one of the many strategies Marvin has used to grow his business into the #3 financial advising firm in the United States. Take Marvin’s advice: just do it!

Marvin grew up in a working-class family in St. Louis, with little money. The first in his family to earn a college degree, Marvin put his law school education on hold to help care for his grandmother after she was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. Marvin soon discovered that, although his grandmother had worked her whole life, she was still susceptible to financial turmoil as a result of poor financial advice and a stock market crash. Inspired to help other, hardworking retirees, Marvin became a broker for a large financial institution in 2005 before founding Compass Retirement Solutions.
“Once we get that lead, that’s where my MyOutDesk virtual assistants come in – they’re following up on those leads, getting them on our calendar and making our time more efficient. It saves us literally hundreds hours of time because we don’t have to skim through all of those individuals to find the most qualified people – and it’s changed our average case size from $325,000 to over $850,000!”
In 2016, he received the Salute to Business Excellence Award as voted by the St. Louis American Newspaper, and also that year, he was an honored recipient of the St. Louis County NAACP Distinguished Legacy Award.

Marketing agencies need bandwidth in order to create impactful reach for their clients and to continue to scale their business.
To scale an integrated enterprise of marketing professionals, it can get very expensive, and without strong capacity meets less marginal profits. (FYI: You can save over $90k per year.)
With any growing marketing agency, more clients means balancing more nuanced tasks and roles. When marketers take on too many assignments, their creativity can take a dip. Often, marketing agencies opt to use freelancers to complete minuscule tasks on the agency’s behalf on an ad-hoc basis.
Matt Buchanan is the founder of Pioneers of Marketing. His marketing agency helps well-known clients each earn over 1.5M on social media through direct messaging — and that’s only one revenue stream!
Matt has 4 MyOutDesk Virtual Assistants working for his marketing agency! “They are very professional & very timely. I’m grateful for them and for all the wisdom shared by MyOutDesk. The people you bring to us are top notch people. In all seriousness, I have to say that!”
Monetizing Social Media: Direct Messaging to Drive Revenue
In this interview, we’re truly diving deep on tried & true methods to scale through direct messaging marketing. Social media is all about principles, guaranteed 100% to work every single time.
Matt shares the idea of having the right mentality about the marketing principles:
Be open minded
Be patient
Execute what you set
If you follow these proven principles of social media, they’ll 100% drive results.
The video elaborates on the 2-step process for social media success:

THREE PILLARS OF CREDIBILITY and BRANDING for FB, IG and LI
(The main social media networks you focus on)
1 – Audience
You need an audience and followers, having the audience gives you the altitude and credibility — we live in a world of perception, remember that!
How to build an audience: Go to an online event or an in-person event. Make it your intention to connect on socials. Have the goal to make viewers follow you on socials, like “follow me on XX, YY, ZZ for more updates, for a replay, for a special offer, to connect, etc.”
Your goal is to take offline relationships online and vice-versa. You may also collaborate with people who already have an audience or have a good reach.
2 – Content Through Facebook and Instagram Stories
Post IG stories, at least 6x a day from your personal account
What should you be posting? Cycle between these 3 types: personal, professional and lifestyle
Professional — brings value for your audience
Personal — connect as a person instead of just a logo—remember people want to do business with a person, not a logo
Lifestyle — documenting the life you live (your “human interest aspect”)
3 – Content Through Wall Posts
Stories vs. Wall Posts: Wall posts are highlight reels. they stay forever unless you delete it! Stories drive traffic and are more intimate since it’s available for just 24 hours. Stories shouldn’t be edited too much or not edited at all!
All the while, wall posts are permanent — it’s the face of your brand and company. They will never go away. So, only post what you want to last, but use the three content types mentioned. Throw in a lot of content, especially when you’re starting out. But, keep it to 3-4x a week if you’ve built an audience already. All of your promotions and posts should also go to your personal account.
Are you afraid of DMs? What do you say when you start a convo?
Understanding it in simple basic form — all social media is just a networking event
When you meet somebody in person — think about how you do it in real life: Introduce yourself!
“Hey how’s it going, saw your page/profile here, and want to get connected”
“Nice connecting with you, I have a great idea. I’d love to share it with you, what’s your cell? Can we chat about it?”
If they reply, send a text from your phone.
Ask: “When’s the best time to talk with you”
Depending on how credible you are, that’s how many people will reply to you. A response rate of 5-6 people out of 25 is a good start.
The higher your credibility, the more responses and messages you’ll get.
If they don’t respond, move on to the next.
Get used to rejection, don’t take NO personally—it’s going to happen.
Focus on the few that respond.
Don’t do this alone, but with the MOD Family.

There are new ways to communicate and exchange information, which is crucial for the future of your business in 2021.
Living in a digital age has many advantages that we’ve never seen before. The digital market is a hyper-competitive environment. It has its own rules and they are far different from the traditional ones that we have used to in the past.
Companies such as Amazon have changed the way we shop. We no longer need to go out and search for our products when they are available online. The digital market has allowed companies to reach a wider audience with their products and services. They are able to provide new features, which improves the business.
However, this hyper-competitive environment has its downfalls. There is a lot of competition in the digital market and it’s difficult for a company to stay afloat.
In order for a company to be successful they need to reach a wide audience. It’s not enough for them to just provide the best products and services.
In this article, you’ll read about:
Sales goals for the digital age
Sales development plans
Importance of digital marketing
Getting good ROI & increasing online traffic, when nobody is going outside
Sales goals for the digital age
To understand how sales teams work, it helps to look at how customers they buy nowadays. In general, buyers are now information gatherers. They aren’t only going to take your word, but the words from what’s on the internet.
An everyday buyer:
“If I was to looking into buying something, the key thing would be to read reviews of the product or service first. Even though I don’t believe in 100% honest and fair reviews online, but it’s still necessary for me to make an informed purchase decision.
To form goals for a sales team, you must first determine the goals of each customer. Each person has a set of desires that they seek to satisfy.
There are two types of goals:terminal & instrumental. Terminal goals refer to things that someone wants in order to be happy, while instrumental goals are the means through which those terminal goals are accomplished. For example, if someone wants to be happy, they might set a terminal goal of having a good job. Getting that job would then be an instrumental goal. The main problem with terminal goals is that fulfilling them does not guarantee a sense of satisfaction, and their fulfillment can be short-lived. For example, if someone achieves the goal of getting a good job, they might still be unhappy because they are required to work long hours at it. The same holds true for instrumental goals. Working hard to get a job can temporarily satisfy a person, but it may be only the first step toward achieving their terminal goal of happiness.
By understanding the full capacity of how your product can answer your buyers’ many terminal and instrumental goals, you’ll be able to provide the type of information that buyers seek online.
Why does this matter for me?
To effectively sell, it takes a large amount of evolving and adapting. Sometimes it’s the product, while most of the time it’s the sales personality.
A strong sales & marketing team with the right talents can effectively nurture & be a top producing team with predictable results. It requires the leader, the CEO, or the entrepreneur to curate and a foster these desired traits.
And here’s how…

Sales development plans are generally developed by sales managers and executives to provide strategic direction for the company’s sales department.They usually cover one year but can be extended up to three or four years in length and, depending on the size of the organization, may extend beyond a single site into multiple sites.
A typical sale development plan will include some or all of the following:
External environment analysis – where does your business fit within its external environment? What are your key competitors doing in this market space? How have they performed over time?
Internal environment analysis – how is your business performing? What are the key areas of performance you need to improve upon?
Competitor analysis – what is the performance of your competitors? What are they doing to be more successful in this market space?
Benchmarking – what is the average performance of your competitors? How are they performing against their competitors?
SWOT analysis – what are the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in your business environment?
Mission statement – what are your long term goals? What is the purpose of your business?
Digital marketing is a particularly effective strategy to achieve the goals of an individual or company in today’s world where people have become accustomed to finding information online. Online marketing strategies are also very cost-effective, especially when compared with offline alternatives such as TV and radio ads and billboards.
Effective digital marketing operations
Anyone who has spent time on Facebook or Twitter knows that online marketing is rampant. We are all marketed to, both directly and indirectly, every single day of our lives. It’s no wonder why people have become increasingly numb to traditional advertising methods.
One of the biggest reasons for this move is because there are more people on social media than any other platform. In fact, almost all digital consumers use some sort of social media.
This means that social media platforms are the best way to get your message out there. Not only that, but it also allows you to have a two-way conversation with potential customers.
However, online marketing methods are increasingly becoming more effective. This is because the digital space gives marketers an unprecedented opportunity to track and measure their effectiveness.
For example, by tracking how many times a person clicks on an ad or visits the company website after reading an online article, marketers can more accurately gauge their return on investment (ROI). This allows them to spend their advertising dollars more effectively.
Getting good ROI & online traffic, when nobody is going outside
In today’s uniquely stay-at-home world, the math is simple with an enormous ROI by employing virtual assistants who can effectively handle the many aspects of a tedious online business operation.
You can lower your costs, reduce overhead, and leverage remote work for your business. It starts with a MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant.

A friend of mine was recently on a call with Mark Cuban. Who else can say they’ve been taught by a billionaire?
Entrepreneurs, it is certain that the businesses who act diligently and stay informed will rise to the top. We are tired of hearing about today’s uncertainty. Instead of pausing with the rest of the world, the proactive business is reinventing itself.
Here are billionaire Mark Cuban’s advice and lessons on how to handle today’s market downturn. He is VERY bullish on the US and on American ingenuity. Once we are out of this recession, he thinks the country’s economy will bounce back and be so much stronger as a result.
Of all of the “models” that the experts share as “data,” this is not actual data but rather an opinion or projection. Today, the data that we are looking at now is skewed by a huge outside factor that is making it more difficult to trust and analyze.
Look at it but take it with a grain of salt. Most of our best analysis and learning will be reflective.
Pay attention to the said data, but remember that the data presented AFTER this situation will be considered the “real” data.
It’s always the time to sell
It’s never the time to be selling and pitching items and services of value even in this current environment.
Authenticity is critical more than ever when selling. If you are calling on a prospect, empathy is key. Mark said that it’s ok to tell prospects that you are scared too (if that’s true). A great way to sell to continue rapport building, at a time that people are seeking to connect. Your authenticity will make you more relatable.
Understand EFFECTIVE inside sales operations — by boosting your prospecting engine starting with a free business STRATEGY call with MyOutDesk!
Make it a point to learn something new daily. Even if you don’t think you need to know it. Mark mentioned he is going deep into learning about the future of A.I.
This is a common lesson of many billionaires, including Jeff Hoffman (founder of Priceline). Bill Gates reads at least 50 books a year. If you hear it more than once coming from a billionaire, then it must be a valid point, right? Mark pointed out to the group to take notes in the book margins and reflect chapter by chapter on what you’ve learned.
Learn how billionaires and millionaires are leveraging the remote workplace with a free MyOutDesk Business strategy call. Be proactive in today’s downturn!
You won’t get it unless you ask for it
You will never get anything without first asking. In the call, the moderator tested Mark’s advice and promptly asked him for an introduction to another influential person that the group could learn from. After laughing, Mark offered to connect the group with Barbara Corcharon. Point taken.
Stay proactive
When you look in a decade from now, there will be around three to five huge companies that were formed during this time. Why not grow your business during these times? Mark said that all the improvements that you have been thinking about HAVE TO BE implemented now both personally and professionally. Get your unfair share and it starts by making those changes now.
If you wanted to implement that new system or software, do it now. Make that huge shift in your offering or streamline processes. Make it happen now.
Scale your business operations by leveraging experienced virtual assistants in your industry.
The CEO Mindset. Lead by example, double down, and gain market share.
Refreshed value. Understand what people want and need now, and how your business can respond to these demands.
Becoming an Exceptional Force – all while reducing operational costs. Reduce operational costs with virtual assistants, a forgivable expense through the SBA. Restructure to a remote workspace and create new plans with a CEO’s mindset.

This video breaks down the step-by-step processes that CEOs have used in order to win — which is why this MyOutDesk’s podcast exists, for helping you grow and scale your business!
Applying his expertise for the general audience, Matthew takes this important topic of building an SEO foundation to help scale your business. And, he’s breaking it down step-by-step — giving you a realistic time frame, tools, everything you need to do lay out a sound SEO foundation.
Daniel Ramsey, CEO & Founder of MyOutDesk CEO, calls Matthew Laurin ‘the mad scientist of SEO,’ or search engine optimization!
Matthew Laurin, President of Esq.marketing, has been working with SEO and the Marketing vertical for over 10 years now. His SEO firm serves attorneys and law firms, driving up their digital marketing strategy to attract more clientele. Their parent organization is Rankings.io.
Three FOCUSED components to ramp up marketing:
SEO
PPC
Web design
To use content, Google, and blog posts for basically driving revenue through an SEO strategy, which for a lot of us, is a black box. So we’re really excited for this episode, tune in!
SEO is like one of those black boxes, nobody really understands it, or not a lot of business owners do so.
SEO: Where do I start?
Here’s a scenario: I’m generating a million dollars in revenue. I’ve tapped out my existing referral sources database. And, I realized there’s this whole universe of SEO so I want to start competing online. What’s step one to kind of drive to that success?
Before you begin laying out a plan for your SEO, consider this.
SEO is probably a little bit different than what you would you would think. Some people might say it’s keyword research, finding out what keywords people are searching, for figuring out your content. Those are all really important initial steps, BUT the very first thing is just to realize if SEO is for you or not and it isn’t for everybody.
Part of the thing that happens when people don’t understand SEO and they think they need it, but they don’t really know that.
So, your audience may not be on Google searching for you. And that’s true for a lot of industries, a lot of B2B industries. Like for example, there is an attorney who deals with real estate law in New York city for huge corporations, and they are not on Google, because their clientele comes from word-of-mouth.
The same goes for other large-scale businesses that are dealing with other businesses like if you’re a steel company and you’re selling to an auto manufacturer.
You know, I mean, yeah, I mean, there may be some things to help make it, so you look halfway presentable in search, but an ongoing SEO campaign is probably not the best place to spend your money.
“So step one is: figure out if your audience purchases through search engine”
The first step is figuring out what fits for you. If you’re a B2C, there’s a good chance that SEO is going to be helpful because consumers go to search constantly.
More than 70% of people go to a search engine to find what they’re looking for online. And so if you’re a B2C business, there’s a good chance that SEO is something you need to be strongly considering.
If you’re a B2B, you’ll need to study your audience and figure out how your audience is finding you. Is it on search? Is it on social? Is it through a referral network?
“Step 2: Research your keywords. Make sure there’s volume.”
Part of keyword research is figuring out if there’s search volume for keyword phrases. An important type of focus is called searcher intent, where you have to figure out what keyword phrases people are using to find your product or service and whether those phrases have search intent.
Example:
“We’re in the legal vertical. Ranking for the term ‘lawyer’ is probably not going to get you the kind of leads you want but ranking for the term ‘car accident lawyer’ if you’re a PI (personal injury) attorney is probably going to get you more relevant traffic. If you’re in the Houston area ranking for car accident lawyer Houston. It’s probably going to get you know the exact type of cases that you want.”
Free tools to research ‘Searcher Intent’ for SEO planning
In finding, you know if your audience is searching for you really just go into like a free tool like Google Trends, Google AdWords, or Google Ads will have a free keyword research tool to see if there’s search volume for whatever keyword phrases you think that people might be using to find you.
If you’re interested in in gaining prominence in search engines, and there isn’t a lot of search volume for your particular service or product, focusing on your brand name is a good use of time because people will see you on social media SEO, on TV, on radio, or any other channel, and then they’ll go to search and look for you. You will definitely want to show up for your brand name, especially if you have something in common with someone else who is out-ranking you for your brand name.
Step 3: Structure & Tools for Search Engine Optimization
“There’s a lot of different things that impact where your site ranks in search. A lot of it has to do with how your site is built and a lot of it has to do with the links pointing at your website.”
After you find that there’s keyword phrases you can use based on searcher intent, the next step is to make sure that your website is structured in a way that that will help it rank well in search.
How? You can do that with Google. It has a lot of free tools, such as Google Search Console. There’s even some free, yet limited, versions of specialized software for you. Tools like SEO Moz or Moses SEO has a free version. Paid software like SEMrush is another good one that you can use to learn about some of the common things to look for. Their reports can tell you the things that are related to your site that you have control over and that you need to change. A lot of it has to do with content organization and making sure that each page is targeting a specific keyword phrase & making sure that you have robust content for that particular topic.
Tip: Google the keyword phrase you want to rank on and see what the top-ranking pages are there. Look at their content, and then try to make your content better than those pages.
//
“Because what I’d spent probably the first seven, eight years of my career. We didn’t have an effective website content structure in place, so we didn’t know which one was winning for us in terms of generating traffic.”
How much SEO content do I have to put out, and then, what’s the time frame for waiting to start seeing good results realistically?
The answer to this question is that there are two parts. You have to have the content, but then you also have to promote it. The way to promote in SEO is Link Building.
When you build links and produce the best content better than your competitors, you’ll have a shot to rank. That’s ranking on the first page, but you also have to consistently build links to that content and to your site and then links internally to that content and to other important pages on your site in order to get it to rank.
If you have a consistent link building strategy and you’re also developing really good content, then results from zero to getting a decent amount of traffic could be anywhere from five months to eight months with a consistent link building strategy and then continuously improving that content.
//
Now with coronavirus, you can’t go into offices and there’s no retail. If you don’t have a digital strategy around content and SEO, you’re basically going to plateau and or decline over the next three to five years.

Broadly speaking, podcasts can be used for any kind of media files that you would like to share and distribute over the internet. Podcasts are usually audio files, and often videos. They can also be made of any digital media, including images and text.
Podcasts are generally organized into a series of episodes that may be released at a determined interval. Popular podcasts often have frequent releases and new listeners can easily catch up with older ones.
Many podcast programs are intended to be seen as analogous to radio broadcasts, and were produced much like traditional radio shows.
Fun Fact: The word ‘podcast’ is a combination of “pod” from iPod and broadcast. The concept of podcasting was invented in the 1990s as an analog to broadcasting, with the intention of using computers to send pre-recorded shows via the Internet. They started trending in the early 2000s, but they weren’t widely used until iTunes came out with its podcasting feature in 2005.
A podcast is a digital recording, which can be listened to at any time and shared with others. It is not constrained by the same timing of radio or television shows. In fact, it could be delivered on an infinite schedule, depending on how much time people want to spend listening.
Producing a business-to-business B2B podcast helps to establish your brand as a leading source of expert knowledge within your market, driving up your repertoire, brand awareness, credibility, and potentially your market share. It can be listened to in a variety of ways. You could download it and listen to it on your computer. You could subscribe to the podcast, so that you automatically get new episodes delivered whenever they are released.
Podcasting is also very popular on portable devices such as smartphones and tablets. Many people have a podcast app installed on their phone or tablet so that they can listen to podcasts whenever they are away from home.
For most busy people out there, being able to listen when you want to is hugely important. Radio and TV shows are constrained by a schedule, so you can’t usually watch or listen whenever it’s convenient for you. You can also consume a podcast on demand. For example, if you want to listen to the latest episode while driving in your car, you don’t have to wait for it to be aired at a particular time. You can also share podcasts with others. You could listen to the same podcast together, so that you have a common interest or topic.
Imagine all the ways your media can reach those who are seeking your content. Produce media for like-minded folks like you. The more interesting your topics, the more you attract traffic to your business.
Podcasting is very top of funnel. It’s brand awareness. Launch & scale your business today with a MyOutDesk Marketing Virtual Assistant.
