Jermaine Griggs: Create a 7-Figure Business With Infusionsoft
Jermaine Griggs founded HearandPlay.com at 17-years old in his grandma’s one-bedroom inner city apartment. He had no idea his $70 investment would turn into a multi-million dollar business teaching tens of thousands how to play and enjoy music by ear.
While in college studying Law & Criminology, Jermaine relied heavily on automated follow-up and marketing processes to run his business while he made good on a promise to his family to graduate school. What resulted was a unique automation strategy and philosophy that he follows religiously til’ this day.
As a result of his success and uncanny ability to mesmerize audiences, Jermaine started attracting the attention of the business world. He’s been featured on Msn, Yahoo, Kiplinger, D&B, Aetna’s Innovators, Msnbc, and more. In 2011, he was awarded Infusionsoft’s “Ultimate Marketer of the Year” and teaches entrepreneurs how to repeat his success by working smarter and not harder.
Jermaine is married to his high school sweetheart of 13 years, has 3 children, and resides in Orange County, CA.

Mistakes Business Owners Make
“The biggest problem is people don’t have a process.”
“People don’t know what they want to automate.”
“Your business is different? People just call you with their credit cards? You never have to mentor or dispense advice? Of course you’re all of that and more.”
You have information you take for granted. Take the consumer advocate approach in creating resources for your prospective clients.
Give them your best tips up front. Don’t be scarcity-minded. Be abundant-minded.
“We underestimate people’s lack of focus online.”
You need to get them immediately to the second form of communication beyond email – asking for cell phone for text messaging.
He delivers first lesson via CustomerHub, a membership site and tracks how long they watch their videos then nudges them if they don’t respond after too long, “Oh taste and see that Jermaine’s stuff is great.”

Rubber-Meets-The-Road Tip
When advertise on Facebook, keep your opt-in form on Facebook to lower your CPC expenses.
Upsell rush shipping. His lead magnet is free but normally takes 4 weeks for the workbook to arrive. Pay $3 and they get it right away. (He captures the address in next step and finally the Credit Card information. The goal is to have a low barrier to entry then slowly pull them in.)
“Go with conversion first.” Stay off the latest traffic bandwagon until you know what converts.
Data must be usable and “merge able.”
Up-surveying – one question leads to another.
Simple question leads to money-questions.
“Hey, since you’re into [jazz], I thought you’d like this…”
