Hi I’m Jake

and I have a healthy obsession with growing companies!

It all started when I decided to drop out of Colorado Tech’s software engineer program and start my own IT company.

Actually; hold that thought, Let me rewind a little further back in life before I found technology.

I was 19 when I started to study print advertising and ways to generate leads. I was trying to figure out a way I could generate leads with the Lansing State Journal which is a newspaper company in downtown Lansing Michigan.

I was working for a mortgage company at the time and was sick of being told “I should cold call if I wanted to make the big bucks; but who want’s to cold call? I hate the thought of cold calling let alone actually picking up the phone to piss some guy off I don’t even know.

So I decided to run the ad’s and get people to start calling me instead. Most people at the mortgage office would get 1 to 2 credit pulls per day if they were lucky. If you don’t know the mortgage industry a credit pull is the first thing you would do to start the loan process.

Once you have your credit pulled and the credit looks good, you can start to gather documents and information required to close the loan.

Once the loan closes normally we would get anywhere from $1500.00 to $6500.00 in commission.

So as I was saying… the Avg was 2 credit pulls per day and that was from calling all day long from the phone book.

The first day I ran the ad’s I pulled 13 credit reports and did more on my own than the entire company as a whole. I’d go to work in the day and when i’d get home i’d have 10 to 20 voice recordings of people looking for a mortgage.

Today I’m 33 and help people get leads by using landing pages and tools that I create with my team in order to suck in leads in any market.

As a CEO of a growing company I can promise you that success is closer than you think it is and if you’re willing to try your hardest you’ll climb any mountain.

I love business and I love people and I’m excited to be here!

God Bless
Jake
