The power of imperfect: How good do you need to be to get started?
Kameron Hammontree knew that as an undergraduate inclined towards digital marketing, he would have to hustle. He started off with a goal in mind and just a few resources at his disposal.
Enthusiastic about sales and marketing Kameron jumped at the opportunity of understanding what it takes to be successful online and was smart enough to seize any potential opportunity. He first began by product reselling via Facebook and then went on to take inspiration from agency owners in the floor marketing niche.
After investing in the home service niche and armed with the knowledge he had accumulated through his experiences, He eventually took the leap of faith and started his own agency in 2020.
Today, GlobeLight Marketing specializes in floor marketing and has come this far because of Kameron’s persistence in believing in his business model and the drive to always improve his processes.
How Kameron Started GlobeLight Marketing From Scratch and Used Digital Marketing to Fuel His Success
Kameron never let anything hold him back – When he was just getting a headstart in the agency world he wanted to operate on his own and achieve the most without leaning on anyone.
The idea first came through a paid ad: Impressed by how the agency was servicing their virtual assistants with mentored coaching and prospecting, he thought to himself how could someone with minimal knowledge of the field, still receive booked meetings?
After more consultations Kameron became widely aware of how the home service business had a multitude of niches within it. Despite all the competition, he knew he could fit in.
He began at first by simply creating a list of potential clients and closed about 3 clients. Despite only having a 20% conversion rate and an aversion to cold calling he remained resilient in his pursuit of success.
