The Client Stampede - Disruptive Marketing & Big Growth Thinking for Trailblazing Companies
Congrats, you’re here. There are very few humans on earth who are as persistent, bullheaded and frankly talented enough to do what you’ve done. You're a black sheep, an unconventional thinker who heads left while the masses flock right. You're in the 1%. Thank goodness for you. You also know you've barely scratched the surface of your company's true revenue potential and you're looking for proven strategies to take the business to the next level via the shortest, most effective route. Welcome. You’re in the right place. Get ready to think big with business transformation strategies to help you dominate your market, disrupt your industry, and leave your competitors scratching their heads wondering how the heck you did it. Yes, this is a marketing podcast —but it's much more than that. It's all about strategy first, guiding you to carve out an unbeatable market position, amplify results, reinvent your offerings, and take your business further, faster. Discover my insider secrets of next-level business growth, branding, lead generation, sales, thought leadership, product innovation, premium pricing, and marketing to the ultra-affluent—and much more. Each episode is delivered in a hybrid American-New Zealand accent, usually bite-sized (most are 5 minutes unless it's an interview inwhich case that time limit goes out the window ), sometimes funny and always thought provoking. Based on the book The Client Stampede (by Julie Guest).

Your marketing works hard to attract leads—so why aren't you getting the sales results you expect from them?
The truth is, the biggest obstacle to sales often isn’t your leads choosing your competitors—it’s hidden inside your own business.
From unintentional roadblocks to well-meaning employees who accidentally push customers away, this episode uncovers the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways companies sabotage their own success. ...
Sales slowing down? Don’t panic—and definitely don’t reach for the discount lever.
In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the most damaging (yet common) knee-jerk reactions in business: cutting prices when sales stall. It’s understandable, but almost always the wrong move. Discounting not only trains your buyers to wait for a deal—it erodes your brand and drags you straight into commodity pricing hell.

Most companies waste years marketing to the masses before eventually realizing that just a few dream clients can change everything.
In this episode, I share the faster path — how to identify your Dream 100 and reach them using a simple, old-school direct mail strategy that still outperforms every digital tactic today with no spam and no funnels.

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
