The Growth Experts podcast shares proven growth strategies, tactics, and tools from real growth experts and entrepreneurs. You will hear from top CEO's, entrepreneurs and marketers as I uncover tips and strategies that many of them have never shared before. My goal is to dig deep to find out exactly how they did it. Growth hacking, growth marketing, growth agencies, social media, digital marketing, SEO, social selling, LinkedIn marketing, Facebook and Instagram are just a few of the growth hacks and growth strategies we will be discuss and dissecting during the show. It's the perfect combination of inspiration and tactical growth strategies. During the show, I will also share my personal highs and lows as well as what's working or NOT working for me as an entrepreneur. Get ready for a fun ride...I know I am!

A must-listen!
This show lives up to its title! What better way to learn how to grow your enterprise than to hear directly from leaders and innovators doing just that every day? Not to mention, Dennis is consistently giving us a masterclass on what it means to be a fantastic interviewer. (The episodes with Eli Harris and Mike Yan genuinely blew me away!) Keep up the incredible work, Dennis!

Great Podcast!
Great interview. I totally agree with the 4Rs that Dan talks about. I think more companies would benefit from going into business development with the mindset that you are always going to be reviewing, refining, rolling out, and repeating the process. The world never stands still, so in order to optimize marketing and sales, a leader needs to always be tweaking and evolving their sales and marketing messaging. Love it Dan! Great job! Andy Buying

So much gold
I’m seriously in awe of this podcast. If this were a playlist, it’d be Rap Caviar. Bangers after bangers. I listened to it casually at first but now it’s a reference manual where I go searching when I have a question. Feels like inevitably a guest has covered my question. Grateful for this resource!

Hard-hitting and to the point
I’m really starting to love Dennis’s podcast. Great guests, actionable topics, and direct and to the point. He’s got the credibility and track record also. His LinkedIn tips WORK - I consistently get 2-5 qualified leads reaching out to me per day using the strategies he teaches. Highly recommended.

Dennis does a great job at getting great guests, and he teases out great nuggets in a short amount of time. It is the type of podcast where I will listen to 2 or 3 episodes in a setting. I have taken valuable info from a number of people. And I have had the pleasure of being a guest too. The experience was great!

Amazing Business Podcast
This is one of the best business podcasts I've heard. I was a fan after the first one I listened to. It is succinct, had powerful people on who taught great lessons on how to help you succeed in the many areas entrepreneurs have to run, also it is perfect in run time. It’s not too long and great if you’re going on a walk or listening to on your commute to work. It’s very engaging.

You've Gotta Listen to this Podcast!
Dennis Brown has the voice of a true radio personality. I was totaly blown away that he was able to interview the Author of The Little Red Book of Selling, Jeffery Gitomer! I loved Jeffery's definition of a true competitive advantage and his statement that most Unique Selling propostions are total Crap! Most companies would have no idea what a real USP is even it it fell out of the sky and hit them on the head. I just started listening to Dennis Brown's podcast and I am now hooked. I can't wait for his next episode!

Loved these two recent episodes: E-122 and 128
I really liked E-122 where guest Jaime Masters shared her insight about why we shouldn’t focus too much on More Leads. I loved her take on segmenting leads into three buckets "Pefect fit", "Potential fit "and "not a fit". This was a really valuable episode. I can listen to it again and again. I loved Dennis's take on the 80/20 rule and taking it up a notch to talking about the 64-4 rule where you get 64% of your profit from from the 4% of your customers. It was a very interesting concept. Defeinitely a mindshift! I would recomment you listen the many others. You will come away learning something.

Rare quality here. Very worthy.
I couldn’t name many podcasts that manage to give a 60 second synopsis of what their content is, who it’s for, and what to expect. This one does a great job of that. Beyond that the content is great! Dennis Brown is the equivalent of Terri Gross from Fresh Air on NPR in that his questions are simple, yet probing. He knows how to extract information that has VALUE to his audience from his guests. And if you check him out on LinkedIn, you’ll see that this guy is the real deal, not just a talking head.

Growth Experts is a great thing!
And Excellent listen with realworld attainable ideas, well worth the time. I can’t believe it’s free! I was introduced to the show through Freight Broker Bootcamp on Facebook, I’m also a VIP Member of Freight Broker Bootcamp with a one year subscription where I have gone through the whole program and learned a great amount, a wealth of inspiration and information there. I repeat my reading and follow the programs recommended reading and listening. My background is from the Timber industry, I grew up in a family owned business. My Grandpa ran the logging side and Dad the log trucking side here in Southern Oregon. I grew up on the battery box of a D6 Cat since about 9 years old and drove big horse power beautiful logging trucks for about ten years off and on while going to school to be an Electrician. I’m now a part owner in a hot shot trucking company called Ford and Ford Trucking also the soul owner of Rogue Brokers LLC, a business that I’m in the middle of starting and am very excited to get rolling with, I’ve dove into the pod cast Growth Experts, and I’m hooked. An excellent amount of information and inspiration there as well, a wonderful insight to a world I could only imagine, thanks so much for what you do and i plan to continue to participate and follow the recommendations of you and all the other pod cast folks, the leaders of industry and elders that I look up to.

Great new podcast. Good recommendation
This was recommended to me and I’m very glad it was. The episodes are short, quick, and well edited so you get a lot of information quickly. I really enjoyed the episode about outsourcing CMOs. I also like the fact the host is himself extremely successful, not just good at asking others what they do. Based on his success,I imagine he has a great network. I hope to hear some women entrepreneurs too.

Episode 3
John Brody is a very good visionary I like the way LadderIO looks at a 360% view, that is one of my biggest problems is that I have had all my life doing due diligence. I always without fail take as much time as I have to investigate, and get as much information about a customer as I can. It probably slows my contacting and closing a deal too slow and I need a path to getting streemlined, I'll look into his company this evening. Again, thank you, Dennis Brown. Robert Atkins
