Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-2xcslmmhX8 Where do you even start when hiring a new producer—and how do you justify the investment? There are plenty of tools to help (lots of routes to Vegas, so to speak), but at the end of the day, a producer’s ability to prospect is what drives success. That’s where the SPQ Gold/FSA comes in—it helps identify reluctance before someone is in the role. Hire slowly. Be objective.  Use intentional evaluation and don’t go it alone—bring in a second set of eyes, whether it’s a mentor or an industry partner, to help make the right hire. Currently, we have a few spots open in the AgencyCFO Mastery Program, don’t miss out on this opportunity to work with us full time.

Rank Fortress Radio William Jones We are a team of 30+ highly skilled SEO professionals and web designers, all hand trained in my Standard Operating Procedures. All of the Rank Fortress Staff came to me needing to learn how to do SEO, and I have taught them everything required to rank a site or GMB listing.When I first started my Agency, it was just two vas, and over the past year, we quickly grew our agency to where it is now. With a specialized staff, each staff member has specific tasks they are responsible for. For example, most SEO agencies and SEO would handle everything regarding SEO and thus not get the desired results. I hand train each staff member on tasks such as GMB posts, GMB Optimization, Technical SEO, Click Through Rate Manipulation, On-page SEO, and content.The difference between Rank Fortress staff and your average SEO agency is that I live in the Philippines, and all work together at my house. The Ultimate Jet Guide Podcast Tom Lelyo Tom is a husband, father, and lover of aviation. When he first started learning about private jets, he noticed there wasn’t a lot of content available for people who wanted real, down to earth, information without any fluff or pomp. He knew that many people were curious before they buy a private jet, and he wanted to be a guide for the curious to the serious and those in between. Tom pulls back the curtain on private aviation to help individuals buy sell or charter jets without wasting time or losing money. In 2021 & 2022 Tom was the top producer of his former agency completing over 20 sales each year. In 2023 he started his own agency, Jet Life Aero where he looks to inspire the next generation of private jet brokers. As a former youth pastor, Tom wants to share his experience as a jet broker with others who aspire to change their lives through private aviation, like he did.
