Who knew boosting sales, smashing customer churn, and increasing customer engagement could be this simple? It may sound a bit unbelievable but wait till you hear what today’s guest has to share.

Bonjoro founder, Matt Barnett, takes us through how he came up with the video marketing hack he used to convert leads for his tech startup, which ultimately failed. But his simplistic way of reaching out to leads, later on, gave rise to Bonjoro. And the rest, as they say, is history. 

The self-titled Papa Bear of Bonjoro emphasises that a lot of things that happened were unexpected and started in the most unlikely places. He also shares with us three high-converting video sales funnels you can use to get immediate results. 

Tune in to get those little gold nugget insights to spur on some creativity!

Timbo’s Top 3 Attention Grabbers

Here’s what grabbed my attention from chatting with Matt ...
I love how Matt experiments with a multitude of marketing channels and has now focused on three that he knows delivers the results he’s looking for.


I love the question Matt posed about “How do you treat a new customer?”


And I love how the marketing team at Bonjoro spend time carving out long-form content like eBooks once or twice a year. Remember if you buy Bonjoro at GetBonjoro.com, send Sofia your proof-of-purchase and I’ll send you a Playbook with 30 tried and tested ways of using it. Sofia’s email is sofia@timreid.com.au
