The Secret Weapon of the Smartest Marketers

Marco Torres pt 2

Whether you are in ministry or retail; counseling or coaching; online sales or traditional retail – you are marketing. You are marketing your church, your ministry, your store, your products, your books. You are marketing your brand. You are marketing yourself in the process. How well you handle this responsibility will determine your success. I’ve seen pastors of churches, some that have been around for decades, still struggle to have 25 people in attendance on Sunday mornings. I’ve seen others set up in a coffee shop on Sunday morning and two years later are building a church building and paying cash for it.  WHY? The same thing can be said for someone working for themselves. In business, online or traditional. They may work for years, barely getting by. Someone else comes in and within a few months or so, they are the big player in town or in the niche online or whatever.  WHY? Well, it all revolves around marketing. And to help us with understanding some of the nuances, is my guest today, Marco Torres. Marco Torres is the Founder of MarketingBoost.com, he has helped thousands of business owners worldwide boost sales and scale their businesses by as much as 5-fold through the use of incentive-based marketing. He teaches entrepreneurs how to soar sales & marketing through the use of “Value-Add-Incentives” instead of discounts. His Facebook Group is home to more than 27,000 active business owners who are raking in sales with his advice and amazingly affordable subscription program. I believe these concepts we will discuss today will apply, of course to businesses, coaching, etc., but it can also be applied to your ministry and church growth with just a few little tweaks. This is part two of a great, two part interview with Marco Torres! I know, in the online world, we offer “lead magnets” to draw people in with something of value in order to get their contact information so we can stay in touch with them with product offers, etc.  Do lead magnets really work with this type of incentive? Are these physical certificates or can they be emailed to the client, etc. online? I want to make sure that our listeners are clear on this, is there no limit on the number of trip hotel vouchers or meal vouchers, etc. that they can give away? And they do not have to pay for these items? Can this be used to help convince clients to give reviews on your website, etc.? This is for the hotel stay only. What’s the fine print? Taxes, fees, etc.? Folks, there are so many areas that have come to my mind as we’ve been talking with Marco today. I can picture this helping many of you out there that have network marketing groups and coaching or consulting programs and things like that. Churches, ministries and non-profits can use them fund raising efforts and reward donors at different levels.  Marco, I truly believe it is only limited by the imagination of the listener at this point, right? I encourage you to go down into the show notes and reach out to Marco. Just try his technique and see if it works for your clients and your niche. What’s the worst case scenario? If it doesn’t generate more traffic or clients, you stop. As you heard, it’s not costing you much more than the monthly membership fee. Amen! But the payoff could make an astronomical difference in what you are currently receiving in your business or ministry to what could be…amen! Just go down and into the show notes and click the links right there. Marco, my friend, I do appreciate your time in coming on the program and sharing about this unique opportunity. I pray our listeners would take you up on this great opportunity you have shared with us today. It can be used across almost every niche – even churches and non-profits!  That’s what I love about it.

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
