 Michael LaMarca of Master Pizza

I am, and have always been fascinated with what it takes to grow from an individual operator and turn that into a thriving franchise. I would always ask myself....

  • How do they find employees?
  • What is the process, where do you start?
  • How do you know if your ready?
  • What would a day be like if we owned 5 stores?

Today I talked with Michael LaMarca of Master Pizza in the Cleveland Ohio area. I finally got to ask some of those questions to someone who is actually doing it, and doing it well. I hope you enjoy this episode with Michael, and I hope that you get some of your questions answered as well.

What to Listen For:

  • How did Michael get started.
  • How did he grow is first location.
  • What marketing does he use.
  • Why he decides to take Master Pizza into the franchising model.
  • What obstacles he faced in their growth.
  • How he spends his time managing the business.
  • Why you need a Great website and what it can do for you.
  • Why opportunity is the best motivator

Content Marketing Quick Start Guide

On Monday I got a chance to talk with Marcus Sheridan of the Saleslion.com and we discussed how he grew his pool company business to nearly out of business to the most trafficked pool website in the world.

He discussed the " You ask We Answer" philosophy of answering questions from his customers in the form of blog posts to help with common questions he was getting asked over and over again.

In this quick tip episode I help you get started with this same content marketing strategy that Marcus employed. If you do this on a consistent basis you will see your website traffic increase over dramatically the next 3-6 months. 

In This Episode:

  • How to get ideas to start your content marketing train moving
  • Where to get ideas from
  • How your customers will do it for you
  • How to use Facebook to gather ideas
  • How to get other local business to help with content
