What if you could make more money in a single day than your business previously made in its entire lifetime?

That’s what happened for Mark Arruda in August, typically his company’s slowest month.

Mark, owner and CEO of Constantly Varied Gear, joined us earlier this year to talk about how he uses Facebook Messenger in his business. Today, he’s back, and in the eight months since we last had Mark on the show he’s continued to ramp up his Messenger marketing and is seeing incredible results.

In this episode, Mark shares the Messenger strategy he used that fateful day in August, and the other tactics he’s using to grow his list and drive sales.

Enjoy!
