Results - Scott Cunningham

Hello. My name is Scott Cunningham, and I'm the founder of a Shopify agency called socialite. And this is a testimonial for Aaron Parkinson and his incredible agency called Seven Mile, who we've had the great pleasure of working with over the past year, right? So at our agency, socialite, we help establish Shopify brands. Like the brands we're working with, they're doing at least a million dollars a year or more, and we help them, like, scale up with ads, email and offer strategies. But over the years, we built a pretty good reputation. We got some good credibility, and we start to attract, like, a lot of Shopify stores who are at an early stage, who shouldn't be hiring an agency yet. So we decided, like, let's launch a cove, like, a coaching and mentorship offer. And so we launched this second side of our business called merchant mastery. And when we launched this, I kind of went and did some training. I like, built out the course, I built out our funnel, I launched and ran our ads myself for like, a year, and luckily, I was able to get it up to about 100k a month. But I knew at that point that we weren't doing anybody good, having me manage the ads. I'm the founder of our business. I had a lot of things like competing for my attention, so I wanted to bring in somebody exceptional who could take over the ads and do so much better than what I was doing. And one of the things I first considered, because we're a marketing agency, I was thinking, Maybe I should go talk to our own media buyers. But then, luckily, I didn't do that, because our media buyers are exceptional at E commerce, and I didn't want to try and, like, teach them how to do coaching funnels and have them be capped at their learning of whatever I could teach them. I knew that we wanted to bring in somebody so much better with so much more experience in this area, and through a mastermind that I'm in I was attending the media buying coaching calls where I met Aaron Parkinson, and he immediately blew my mind. And believe me, it takes a lot for a marketer to blow my mind, because I've been in the space for a long time. I've been doing a lot of things, but things, but getting to know Aaron on those coaching calls, he taught me things I never knew before. He showed me things about, like, specifically the coaching industry, that were new to me. So I was like, Man, this is going to be the best thing that I ever do. And I went after it, decided to, like, meet with Aaron. We were both aligned. Sounded like it was going to be a good partnership. So we got going. We got going, we got to work, and they've become like a true extension of our business. I love working with their agency as much as I love working with my own agency. They're true members of the team. And I'm not just saying this for fluff, like there's times when you're running your funnel and things aren't going perfectly. You go to a meeting with Aaron and his team at seven mile, and they're like, bringing solutions to the table that they're learning from their other really successful coaching clients that they work with. Like, I think they have like, 50 to 70 or something like that, of like, the best coaches in the world that they work with. So we were so fortunate that we get access to that knowledge immediately. Like, they're saying, hey, this VSL, like the watch through rate is going down. We saw a client solve it with this tactic. We should try that. Then they would implement it to our project. They would split test it, and they would get everything working right. Like they didn't just handle our ads. They helped us rate copy for our landing page, copy for our VSL. They were, like, involved in the entire strategy and the implementation. And through working with them, it's just been a remarkable experience, I think. Like I said, we're doing about 100k a month when we first started working with them. Now we've gotten that up to about 500k a month, and we're having the most profitable months we've ever had. And I will give so much credit to Aaron and his team, because they're such an essential part of this whole funnel and this whole business. And I gotta say, if you're considering working with them, they're literally the best at what they do. Aaron has become a friend of mine. Wills get on the call and like, spend two hours just talking about life and stuff. Their team members have become friends. I just feel like it's one of the best collaborations I've ever been a part of. And if you're considering it, go do it, and you're gonna kick some serious butt in the process. Thank You.
