Transcript section:
[00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:05.600] What if your business had a 24-7 sales and marketing team without the overhead?
[00:00:05.600 --> 00:00:07.200] Here's why that matters.
[00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:10.800] 78% of leads go with the first responder.
[00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:16.400] The odds of qualifying a lead drop by 80% after 5 minutes.
[00:00:16.400 --> 00:00:20.560] Only 27% of leads are contacted by a sales rep.
[00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:26.560] 63% of companies take longer than an hour to respond to new inquiries.
[00:00:26.560 --> 00:00:30.560] And 50% of sales go to the vendor that responds first.
[00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:37.440] Businesses that use AI for lead response see a 67% increase in conversion rates.
[00:00:37.440 --> 00:00:47.040] AI-powered chat increases sales by 30%, and companies using AI also reduce customer support costs by 30%.
[00:00:47.040 --> 00:00:52.560] And automated follow-ups can boost lead engagement by 50% or more.
[00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.160] And that's why I built an AI automation agency called LeadLoops.pro.
[00:00:58.160 --> 00:01:12.160] LeadLoops texts new leads instantly, follows up after hours, reconnects old contacts, handles Google reviews, recovers abandoned carts, and even a voice bot that answers calls.
[00:01:12.160 --> 00:01:15.600] Basically, it's a tiny army that never sleeps.
[00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:19.280] You can learn more at leadloops.pro.
[00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:27.360] The other thing I want to tell you about is I'm now offering a free marketing report at getafreemarketingreport.com.
[00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:37.600] All you have to do is give me your business information and I check your online presence and send a detailed report in a day or two showing what's working and what to improve.
[00:01:37.600 --> 00:01:42.800] Again, that's at getafree marketingreport.com.
[00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.520] Welcome to the FrugalPreneur podcast.
[00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:46.880] I am your host, Sarah St.
[00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:47.600] John.
[00:01:47.600 --> 00:02:05.880] This episode is what I refer to as a showcase episode, where I feature a bootstrapped entrepreneur and they briefly share their tips, tricks, tactics, techniques, and tools that help them bootstrap their business and the successes and failures along the way.
[00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:16.520] My hope is that each of these showcase episodes will provide at least one valuable takeaway that you can implement right away in your own bootstrap business journey.
[00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.120] Now, on to the episode.
[00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:23.800] Howdy, my name is Ben, and I am the owner of IE Health.
[00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.920] And it started quite a long time ago where I just got really into fitness.
[00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:36.520] I really loved the environment and ultimately the pursuit of success or self-improvement.
[00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:48.120] And so I started powerlifting and I was kind of just forced into the sport, not really knowing it was really an option, but I had a good coach who helped me along the way.
[00:02:48.120 --> 00:03:01.160] And then I was able to be successful pretty early on and I was able to represent Team USA multiple times around the world and got to travel the country competing for the teams.
[00:03:01.160 --> 00:03:03.080] I loved, loved my experience.
[00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:08.520] And so ultimately it led me into doing research during my undergraduate research.
[00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.360] And I did my research in Dr.
[00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:16.520] Crater's lab at Texas AM University, which is one of the most well-known for creatine research.
[00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:22.920] And so I started my interest in supplements before then, but really got into it the nitty-gritty then.
[00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:29.960] And then ultimately created my own supplement a couple years after that, after I got graduated, after I got my master's.
[00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:40.360] And I continued to formulate, work on new designs, and then finally operate in the meantime as a personal trainer to high-end clientele.
[00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.960] And then finally, I came up with the product, All the Power.
[00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.760] And we should be releasing that here very shortly.
[00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:54.000] I was very lucky early on where my business is part of intellectual property, right?
[00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.120] And so a lot of it is just what can I think about?
[00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.520] How can I create a formula that's ultimately going to be beneficial for many people?
[00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:19.120] And so I ended up spending a lot of time reading about research about which supplements are best, what is new coming up in the world, and how do I formulate those things in order to put them into a supplement that is beneficial for many people.
[00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.800] And also find something that I really liked myself because I would try supplements.
[00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.720] I just didn't like the way they made me feel.
[00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.040] Just make me feel nauseous, kind of gross, and I hated it.
[00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.280] And I really liked taking pre-workouts.
[00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:40.880] And so I was kind of disappointed with the existence of, I don't know what they're putting in them now, but there's something about them that really made me feel uncomfortable.
[00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:42.800] And so that's what I started to do.
[00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.000] And then in the meantime, while I was working on that, I knew that I was already certified as a trainer.
[00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.400] And so it's a skill set that I had.
[00:04:50.400 --> 00:05:02.560] And so I started at a local gym and then got some clientele through there and then started to rent my own space and continue to operate under the IE Health umbrella.
[00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.040] And it was an amazing experience.
[00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.080] And so it's been hard along the way as well, but I use those finances to continue to market myself inside the space.
[00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:14.640] It definitely is tough bootstrapping the business.
[00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:19.840] At the same time, it also really makes you think strategically, which I really enjoy as well.
[00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.080] And so that's that's kind of what I do.
[00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:32.360] Learning when the right time is to either hire on new people or go through the right process of bringing on new people into the business.
[00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.120] So the goal was to, you know, continue to work on the business and not in the business.
[00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.800] Very early on, you're kind of, you know, you're wearing a lot of hats as an entrepreneur.
[00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:51.400] And so I ended up hiring out, you know, several different people and realizing that people aren't going to do exactly what you want them to do at times.
[00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:58.200] And you can, you know, you can put a lot of money towards, you know, business coaches and agencies and help.
[00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:00.120] And sometimes it's just not the right fit.
[00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:07.160] And so I definitely shelled out quite a bit of money to realize one, maybe we hired too early.
[00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.040] And then two, maybe we hired incorrectly.
[00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:16.600] And remembering that, yes, we want to work on the business, not in the business, but be able to do that.
[00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:25.640] Sometimes very early on, you're going to be able to work on the business better than most people because you know your business better than most people or you should.
[00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:30.360] So I definitely think that sometimes I hired out too early.
[00:06:30.440 --> 00:06:32.120] Biggest success is starting, man.
[00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.480] I mean, nobody ever starts.
[00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:41.800] A very, very small population of people attempt to own their own business and it is not an easy feat, but we're coming along and we still exist.
[00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.800] And a lot of companies aren't profitable.
[00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.320] And we can say that we are.
[00:06:45.320 --> 00:06:47.880] And so we're doing a lot of really good things.
[00:06:47.880 --> 00:06:56.680] Best tips that I have are definitely to keep a very well-recorded spreadsheet of your balance sheet.
[00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:05.160] So balance sheet, income sheet, income statement, these kind of things that are perceived to be for the high-end corporate, maybe businesses.
[00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.280] You are that, right?
[00:07:06.280 --> 00:07:10.040] Like, don't diminish what you are coming to market with.
[00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.200] And so, do all the right things, the small things now.
[00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:15.760] Put in the work today to create a good spreadsheet.
[00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:17.120] Maybe use ChatGPT.
[00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:23.040] They can communicate with what's going on inside of your purchases and automatically record those for you.
[00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.640] Use the tools that are around you that are either cheap or free.
[00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:30.000] And then you can always use Fiverr for cheap work.
[00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.920] That's always a good option as well.
[00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.160] But leaning into what you do know, don't pay out too early.
[00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.360] Start to look in the future for what you want for the business.
[00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.120] Make sure you're branding correctly.
[00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:51.520] Look at your target audience and make sure you really understand who they are so that whenever you are doing your marketing, you can find the right people.
[00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:57.120] It reaches the right individuals that are more likely to purchase from you so that your dollar goes farther.
[00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.280] And always follow up.
[00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:00.240] Always follow up.
[00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.080] People don't show up to meetings.
[00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:04.320] People don't follow up to calls.
[00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:14.080] Make sure you're available and make sure that you're the individual that they are going to be looking for to solve to find the solution or to be the solution.

Prompt 2: Key Takeaways

Now please extract the key takeaways from the transcript content I provided.

Extract the most important key takeaways from this part of the conversation. Use a single sentence statement (the key takeaway) rather than milquetoast descriptions like "the hosts discuss...".

For each segment, identify:
- Descriptive title (3-6 words)  
- START timestamp when this topic begins (HH:MM:SS format)
- Double check that the timestamp is accurate - a timestamp will NEVER be greater than the total length of the audio
- Most important Key takeaway from that segment. Key takeaway must be specific and knowledge-additive.
- Brief summary of the discussion

IMPORTANT: The timestamp should mark when the topic/segment STARTS, not a range. Look for topic transitions and conversation shifts.

Return ONLY valid JSON. Ensure all strings are properly quoted, no trailing commas:
{
  "segments": [
    {
      "segment_title": "Topic Discussion", 
      "timestamp": "01:15:30",
      "key_takeaway": "main point from this segment",
      "segment_summary": "brief description of what was discussed"
    }
  ]
}

Timestamp format: HH:MM:SS (e.g., 00:05:30, 01:22:45) marking the START of each segment.

- Only include items explicitly mentioned by name. Do not invent titles.
- Valid categories are: "Book", "Movie", "TV Show", "Music"
- Include the exact phrase where each item was mentioned
- Find the nearest proximate timestamp where it appears in the conversation
- THE TIMESTAMP OF THE MEDIA MENTION IS IMPORTANT - DO NOT INVENT TIMESTAMPS AND DO NOT MISATTRIBUTE TIMESTAMPS
- Double check that the timestamp is accurate - a timestamp will NEVER be greater than the total length of the audio
- Timestamps are given as ranges, e.g. 01:13:42.520 --> 01:13:46.720. Use the EARLIER of the 2 timestamps in the range.

Return ONLY valid JSON. Ensure all strings are properly quoted and escaped, no trailing commas:

[00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.520] Welcome to the FrugalPreneur podcast.
[00:01:45.520 --> 00:01:46.880] I am your host, Sarah St.
[00:01:46.960 --> 00:01:47.600] John.
[00:01:47.600 --> 00:02:05.880] This episode is what I refer to as a showcase episode, where I feature a bootstrapped entrepreneur and they briefly share their tips, tricks, tactics, techniques, and tools that help them bootstrap their business and the successes and failures along the way.

[00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:23.800] Howdy, my name is Ben, and I am the owner of IE Health.
[00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:28.920] And it started quite a long time ago where I just got really into fitness.
[00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:36.520] I really loved the environment and ultimately the pursuit of success or self-improvement.
[00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:48.120] And so I started powerlifting and I was kind of just forced into the sport, not really knowing it was really an option, but I had a good coach who helped me along the way.
[00:02:48.120 --> 00:03:01.160] And then I was able to be successful pretty early on and I was able to represent Team USA multiple times around the world and got to travel the country competing for the teams.
[00:03:01.160 --> 00:03:03.080] I loved, loved my experience.
[00:03:03.080 --> 00:03:08.520] And so ultimately it led me into doing research during my undergraduate research.
[00:03:08.520 --> 00:03:10.360] And I did my research in Dr.
[00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:16.520] Crater's lab at Texas AM University, which is one of the most well-known for creatine research.
[00:03:16.520 --> 00:03:22.920] And so I started my interest in supplements before then, but really got into it the nitty-gritty then.
[00:03:22.920 --> 00:03:29.960] And then ultimately created my own supplement a couple years after that, after I got graduated, after I got my master's.
[00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:40.360] And I continued to formulate, work on new designs, and then finally operate in the meantime as a personal trainer to high-end clientele.
[00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:44.960] And then finally, I came up with the product, All the Power.
[00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:47.760] And we should be releasing that here very shortly.
[00:03:48.080 --> 00:03:54.000] I was very lucky early on where my business is part of intellectual property, right?
[00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:57.120] And so a lot of it is just what can I think about?
[00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:01.520] How can I create a formula that's ultimately going to be beneficial for many people?
[00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:19.120] And so I ended up spending a lot of time reading about research about which supplements are best, what is new coming up in the world, and how do I formulate those things in order to put them into a supplement that is beneficial for many people.
[00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.800] And also find something that I really liked myself because I would try supplements.
[00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.720] I just didn't like the way they made me feel.
[00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:29.040] Just make me feel nauseous, kind of gross, and I hated it.
[00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.280] And I really liked taking pre-workouts.
[00:04:31.280 --> 00:04:40.880] And so I was kind of disappointed with the existence of, I don't know what they're putting in them now, but there's something about them that really made me feel uncomfortable.
[00:04:40.880 --> 00:04:42.800] And so that's what I started to do.
[00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:48.000] And then in the meantime, while I was working on that, I knew that I was already certified as a trainer.
[00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.400] And so it's a skill set that I had.
[00:04:50.400 --> 00:05:02.560] And so I started at a local gym and then got some clientele through there and then started to rent my own space and continue to operate under the IE Health umbrella.
[00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.040] And it was an amazing experience.
[00:05:05.040 --> 00:05:12.080] And so it's been hard along the way as well, but I use those finances to continue to market myself inside the space.
[00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:14.640] It definitely is tough bootstrapping the business.
[00:05:14.640 --> 00:05:19.840] At the same time, it also really makes you think strategically, which I really enjoy as well.
[00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:22.080] And so that's that's kind of what I do.
[00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:32.360] Learning when the right time is to either hire on new people or go through the right process of bringing on new people into the business.
[00:05:32.680 --> 00:05:38.120] So the goal was to, you know, continue to work on the business and not in the business.
[00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:41.800] Very early on, you're kind of, you know, you're wearing a lot of hats as an entrepreneur.
[00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:51.400] And so I ended up hiring out, you know, several different people and realizing that people aren't going to do exactly what you want them to do at times.
[00:05:51.400 --> 00:05:58.200] And you can, you know, you can put a lot of money towards, you know, business coaches and agencies and help.
[00:05:58.200 --> 00:06:00.120] And sometimes it's just not the right fit.
[00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:07.160] And so I definitely shelled out quite a bit of money to realize one, maybe we hired too early.
[00:06:07.160 --> 00:06:10.040] And then two, maybe we hired incorrectly.
[00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:16.600] And remembering that, yes, we want to work on the business, not in the business, but be able to do that.
[00:06:16.600 --> 00:06:25.640] Sometimes very early on, you're going to be able to work on the business better than most people because you know your business better than most people or you should.
[00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:30.360] So I definitely think that sometimes I hired out too early.
[00:06:30.440 --> 00:06:32.120] Biggest success is starting, man.
[00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.480] I mean, nobody ever starts.
[00:06:33.720 --> 00:06:41.800] A very, very small population of people attempt to own their own business and it is not an easy feat, but we're coming along and we still exist.
[00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:43.800] And a lot of companies aren't profitable.
[00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.320] And we can say that we are.
[00:06:45.320 --> 00:06:47.880] And so we're doing a lot of really good things.
[00:06:47.880 --> 00:06:56.680] Best tips that I have are definitely to keep a very well-recorded spreadsheet of your balance sheet.
[00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:05.160] So balance sheet, income sheet, income statement, these kind of things that are perceived to be for the high-end corporate, maybe businesses.
[00:07:05.160 --> 00:07:06.280] You are that, right?
[00:07:06.280 --> 00:07:10.040] Like, don't diminish what you are coming to market with.
[00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:13.200] And so, do all the right things, the small things now.
[00:07:13.200 --> 00:07:15.760] Put in the work today to create a good spreadsheet.
[00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:17.120] Maybe use ChatGPT.
[00:07:17.280 --> 00:07:23.040] They can communicate with what's going on inside of your purchases and automatically record those for you.
[00:07:23.040 --> 00:07:26.640] Use the tools that are around you that are either cheap or free.
[00:07:26.640 --> 00:07:30.000] And then you can always use Fiverr for cheap work.
[00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:31.920] That's always a good option as well.
[00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:36.160] But leaning into what you do know, don't pay out too early.
[00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:41.360] Start to look in the future for what you want for the business.
[00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.120] Make sure you're branding correctly.
[00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:51.520] Look at your target audience and make sure you really understand who they are so that whenever you are doing your marketing, you can find the right people.
[00:07:51.520 --> 00:07:57.120] It reaches the right individuals that are more likely to purchase from you so that your dollar goes farther.
[00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.280] And always follow up.
[00:07:59.280 --> 00:08:00.240] Always follow up.
[00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.080] People don't show up to meetings.
[00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:04.320] People don't follow up to calls.
[00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:14.080] Make sure you're available and make sure that you're the individual that they are going to be looking for to solve to find the solution or to be the solution.

[00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:01.160] What if your business had a 24-7 sales and marketing team without the overhead?
[00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:06.680] Here's why that matters: 78% of leads go with the first responder.
[00:09:06.680 --> 00:09:12.280] The odds of qualifying a lead drop by 80% after 5 minutes.
[00:09:12.280 --> 00:09:16.440] Only 27% of leads are contacted by a sales rep.
[00:09:16.760 --> 00:09:22.440] 63% of companies take longer than an hour to respond to new inquiries.
[00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.440] And 50% of sales go to the vendor that responds first.
[00:09:26.440 --> 00:09:33.320] Businesses that use AI for lead response see a 67% increase in conversion rates.
[00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:42.920] AI-powered chat increases sales by 30%, and companies using AI also reduce customer support costs by 30%.
[00:09:42.920 --> 00:09:48.440] And automated follow-ups can boost lead engagement by 50% or more.
[00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:54.040] And that's why I built an AI automation agency called LeadLoops.pro.
[00:09:54.040 --> 00:10:08.040] LeadLoops texts new leads instantly, follows up after hours, reconnects old contacts, handles Google reviews, recovers abandoned carts, and even a voice bot that answers calls.
[00:10:08.040 --> 00:10:11.480] Basically, it's a tiny army that never sleeps.
[00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:15.160] You can learn more at leadloops.pro.
[00:10:15.160 --> 00:10:23.240] The other thing I want to tell you about is I'm now offering a free marketing report at getafreemarketingreport.com.
