Bobby Martin, Vertical IQ Testimonial

Bob­by Mar­tin is the CEO and a co-founder of Ver­ti­cal IQ, which pro­vides indus­try data to help finan­cial pro­fes­sion­als work with small busi­ness own­ers to build trust­ed advi­sor sta­tus. He shares how his com­pa­ny has put in place scal­able process­es and improved cus­tomer reten­tion since join­ing the group.

We real­ly want­ed to fig­ure out how to cre­ate a sales play­book and a sales method­ol­o­gy that is repeat­able, growth-ori­ent­ed, makes sense. It may sound easy, but it’s actu­al­ly dif­fi­cult and com­pli­cat­ed. And Vic­tor and the group have done a great job of teach­ing us how to do a bet­ter job at that.

Our busi­ness has changed since I joined the group. Ver­ti­cal IQ has real­ly done a great job of becom­ing more orga­nized with more sys­tems and process­es that are in place to help us scale and grow faster, and to take advan­tage of the things that we’re already doing, but in a more scal­able way.

By join­ing the group, we’re sell­ing more because what we’re doing now is putting in place process­es that make sales eas­i­er.

We’re also retain­ing our cus­tomers more effec­tive­ly because we’re using AI and using some of those process­es to make sure we know exact­ly what our cus­tomers want from us. It’s actu­al­ly tough to exe­cute, and Vic­tor’s done a great job of explain­ing it all.

Join­ing the group and hav­ing oth­er CEOs as part of it has been so help­ful because I get to hear their per­spec­tives, with the exact same chal­lenges. And then Vic­tor’s able to say, “hey, all of us are shar­ing in these types of chal­lenges. So why don’t we talk as a group on how to solve those things?” It was just won­der­ful to hear oth­er per­spec­tives from oth­er CEOs for sure.

If I was talk­ing to oth­er CEOs who are think­ing about join­ing the group with Vic­tor, I would tell them they should absolute­ly do this because it pro­vides an afford­able way to get coach­ing, not just from Vic­tor, which is incred­i­bly help­ful, but also the oth­er CEOs.

My expe­ri­ence with Vic­tor has just been fab­u­lous. I mean, I’ve real­ly, real­ly enjoyed it.  It’s real­ly helped us out a lot.
