#338: Alex Melen and Mitchell Levy on Thought Leader Life Credibility Episode

Gain remarkable results for your company through innovative digital campaigns and advertising. This episode features #ThoughtLeader and #Expert Alex Melen (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/), a co-founder at SmartSites, award-winning entrepreneur, and keynote speaker. He is passionate about assisting businesses in managing their online marketing campaigns as a consultant.

Alex is known for starting one of the first free web hosting companies: T35, founded in 1997. It was the first of its kind in the mid-90s, when earning a strong digital presence was expensive and complicated. Currently, he is the co-founder of SmartSites, an award-winning advertising agency started in 2011 that is committed to helping clients with design, development, e-commerce, PPC, and SEO.

If you know that you do good in the physical world but kind of suck online, reach out to Alex Melen by going to his website at https://www.smartsites.com/ or visiting his profile at https://www.alexmelen.com/ or https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/.

Here are a couple of AHA messages from this episode:

• Small businesses that are fantastic in the real world but suck online should reach out to Alex Melen. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/
• Some entrepreneurs are just really good at what they do, it’s where they excel, but online success is a whole different playbook. It can take away what they’re doing day-to-day to smoothly run their business. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/
• My job is to help businesses be as successful as they can be online by taking away all their burdens and taking over all their digital activities. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/
• We’re a full-service digital agency that covers the entire gamut. We do website design development, SEO pay-per-click & newsletters — anything digital. In many cases, people come to us with no website at all. That’s where we help. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/
• It’s 2020, but surprisingly, there are still many businesses out there that have just gotten by with yellow pages or word of mouth, which is great, but at a certain point, they’ll need an online presence for a wider reach. https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexmelen/

Here are a couple of AHA messages from this episode:

• Business owners who are tired of losing deals, repeat business, or even more importantly, referrals because they did not follow up should reach out to Luke Acree. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeacree/
• Many tend to fail because they don’t know they should do something. That’s when we step in as a company. We provide high-quality touchpoints that can send you to your clients so you can start a conversation with them. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeacree/
• Most business owners are good at promoting their business, but they’re bad at connecting on a relationship level because they don’t look at their clients as their family members. How are you treating your clients? https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeacree/
• Why not send stuff to your clients? That’s why we came up with our flagship product: a magazine. When your customers receive a magazine, they bring it in and set it on the countertop; when they receive a listing card, they just toss it. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeacree/
• Setting up a constant visual reminder attracts potential clients. Real estate agents, financial advisors, insurance agents, and other business professionals should consider having beautiful, professionally crafted content! https://www.linkedin.com/in/lukeacree/
