Entry/Exit Episode #1

March 2nd, 2010 by Brandon

Nathaniel and I are big fans of the audio format so we decided to create a podcast for Growth Partner, entitled “Entry/Exit.”  Each episode will talk about investing in companies or growing a business  (entry) and issues related to selling/leaving/etc. a current business (exit).

The show is going to be an informal round table discussion between Nathaniel, myself (Brandon), and oftentimes a guest or two.  Our first episode gives a little background on us and why we started Growth Partner and we chat a bit about valuing pay per click campaigns when selling a business.  Listen to the podcast below and follow along with the short summary under the player if you’d like.  Enjoy!

Valuing a PPC Campaign in an Exit

  • Organic traffic always has more inherent value
  • Organic = marketing annuity
  • Step ahead of the competition
  • Social media campaign value
  • Defensibility of social media
  • Can’t just “turn off the faucet” on social media

    great show guys.
  • Thanks, Dave! You've been reading since the beginning (aka 3 weeks ago :))
    and we've talked a bit...any topics you'd like to see us dig into here?
  • dave ricupero
    Yea, I'm a Vet here at GrowthPartner, haha.

    No topics I can think of; off the top of my head. Just keep putting great content out there.

    I know your a fan of Mixergy, so maybe provide a video like Andrew Warner does. I noticed when he added videos I stayed longer and listened more. Something about seeing the person.

    Overall, it was great advice and worth every minute.
