Adam Rosen is a world-traveling entrepreneur who sold his first tech startup in 2019. He currently leads eocworks.com, an email marketing agency helping startups, unicorns, and Fortune 500s generate sales through email. Having exited multiple businesses and led multimillion-dollar real estate developments, Adam now enjoys the freedom of building successful ventures while exploring the world’s most inspiring places.

00:00 - 00:46 "Well, when it comes to email, there's no true silver bullet. Everyone's always looking for that one thing that's going to get you this amazing reply rate or meetings book or open rate or this or that. And the reality is it's about doing a bunch of things well that give you a one to three percent lift on each of those things. But at the end of the day, it still comes to what's the offer. Like, you know, the old saying, at least I did some real estate development and specifically land development. And one of the things you'd hear quite a bit is you can put lipstick on a pig, but at the end of the day, it's still a pig. So when it comes to marketing, it's like we can do our best to make any offer sound as good as possible. But at the end of the day, the offer is what the offer is.” — Adam Rosen

Callie Zamzow is a fourth-generation leader of the Zamzow family of businesses, which includes Zamzows, a 92-year-old chain of garden and pet supply stores, Dynamite Specialty Products, a 44-year-old manufacturing and distribution company, and a diverse portfolio of real estate holdings. Rooted in tradition but driven by creativity, Callie brings curiosity, grit, and a deep appreciation for laughter to her leadership.

00:00 - 00:42 "We think of our customer base, and we sort of segregate them a lot of times in ages, kind of where they are in the spectrum of life, because, you know, we're selling things for primarily homeowners, but we also sell things for people who are in apartments and that sort of thing. We think about who we're actually talking to. And that's become more and more difficult, I think, as the population is aging, and then we're having newcomers coming in, and the way that they are communicated, too, like how you actually reach these different people. And then even the tactic, you know, just a regular old radio ad works really, really well for one type of person. There's a whole genre of people who don't even listen to the radio anymore.” — Callie Zamzow

00:00 - 00:40 "It's very tempting and it's very easy to allow just the loudest voices inside an organization. Sometimes that's in the sales group, sometimes it's in other areas. But if we don't take the time to do deliberate research and really apply a professional approach, then companies market to the loudest internal voice, not the actual customer. In the B2B world, in my view, mistakes are so expensive. A lack of research and a lack of a clear foundation is an expensive risk to take.” — Leslie Galbreath

00:00 - 00:30 "All of these automated approaches are coming up. You very easily could do an analysis of your site and figure out where you weren't placing for certain keywords or certain queries and LLMs and get a bunch of AI-driven content written. But ultimately, we find that that's starting to get oversaturated and not really all that helpful. What's really helpful at the end of the day is answering the questions that your customers have in an authentic way.” — Andy Janaitis
