π» The Lost Art of Radio: Why Direct Response Still Wins π
Everyone's chasing clicks on Google and Yelp π» β but is digital really where the money is? In this episode, Tommy Mello sits down with Jim Klauck, a veteran radio pitchman ποΈ, to make the case for a channel most home service businesses have written off: direct response radio.
Jim breaks down why infomercial-style radio shows still outperform digital ads for HVAC π§, roofing ποΈ, and other home service companies β and what it takes to actually make radio work, from picking the right time slots β° to crafting a call to action π that gets the phone ringing before the segment even ends.
You'll learn how to build instant trust with listeners π€, why making the homeowner the hero of the story π¦Έ changes everything, and how Jim's formula has helped businesses across the country turn airtime into booked jobs π°. By the end, you'll understand why the best question a homeowner can ask isn't "how much?" β it's "When can you do it?" β
If you've ever dismissed radio as old news π«, this episode will make you think twice π.
