When You’re in the Room With Greatness…DON’T WASTE IT!!! Happy Wednesday beautiful readers!  Today’s blog will be a bit different than what I usually write.  Today, I am a little disappointed and will be giving a bit of chastisement, knowledge, instruction, and lastly, hopefully inspiration. Last night, I attended an event full of executives, one […]

Who Am I? I realized something today as I was pulling my notes together for this blog…I never actually introduced myself.  I came in full force, writing and posting like I owned the place, LOL.  Today, I am going to back up a bit.  I want to properly introduce myself and give you a glimpse […]

Is it surprising? It may be to some, but not to me. I walked into the local pizza place the other day to pick up our pies, and the team behind the counter had 6 different tablets and screens in front of them. When I asked why so many, the manager told me, “Well, this […]

If you said “small businesses” are your prospects… you are wrong. If you said “everyone” is your prospect, you are very, extremely, outrageously wrong. “But Jason, we have a product we sell to small business owners.

Everyone wants to grow their business, but there is a four letter word that always gets in the way, and that word is LIFE. Life is what happens regardless of the size of your business. Life is those 50 things you do on a daily basis to keep things status quo. They range from taking […]

When we first launched Smartr Marketing, it took hours of calls, emails, and meetings to sell an app. Not only were they not as affordable as they are now (think MORE than twice as much), affiliate marketing was still a new, strange thing to many businesses and entrepreneurs.
