Dear Future Clients,
With over 13 years of experience in the insurance industry, I have invested considerable resources in securing quality leads, only to see large businesses dominate the front page of search results. It was a harsh lesson in the challenges of standing out, but it ignited a fire in me to master effective advertising and uncover the secrets to driving traffic to websites. That relentless drive to learn how to compete with the giants has shaped my mission today: to help businesses like yours RISE above the noise and thrive. My passion for lead generation isn’t just about numbers—it’s about leveling the playing field and empowering underdogs to succeed.
My journey is rooted in a blue-collar upbringing, followed by almost two decades combined of military service, college, and several more years locally in law enforcement. These ventures mark the foundation of the work ethic I've carried with me through my formative years. Serving others in those roles was deeply fulfilling, and it taught me the value of dedication and community. Leveraging my extensive experience in community and customer service, I now channel that same commitment into helping businesses grow. There’s nothing more exciting to me than watching an underdog succeed, and I’m eager to bring that energy to your lead generation strategy and future business growth.
On a personal note, I enjoy gardening and golfing to get outdoors, and spend most of my time doing both with my wife and best friend, Stacy. I have two adult children who are now carving their own paths—Dylan, my oldest, is studying screenwriting at the University of Iowa, where he hopes to be the next James Cameron or Steven Spielberg. My youngest son, Casey, will soon be playing football at Northern Illinois University, and aspires to be the next Rob Gronkowski or George Kittle. Our nest may currently be empty, but our hearts will always be full. With them off to college, I’ve doubled down on my commitment to my community and helping others, running a nonprofit for the past few years to give back. This same spirit of service and philanthropy drives my work with clients. I look forward to partnering with you, leveraging my expertise, and helping your business reach new heights.
Respectfully,
-
John R. Popish
