Wise Words: Automation Edition

Do you ever feel like you missed the first day of Automation school?

This mini course is a compilation of advice and insights from years of experience building, testing, and learning how to use automation - it's all the things we wish someone had told us earlier.

What is this course all about?

We interviewed eight business owners who use automation in their own businesses, and with their clients.

We asked them to share what they've learned on their own automation journey, and what they wish they'd been told when they were just getting started.

This course is a compilation of the lessons we've learned. Sound good?

The OG membership with Monkeypod has deadset been one of the most valuable subscriptions we've ever maintained. We've loved not only the business/learning side of it, but the way that "Greg is just Greg" and the personality he brings to the space.

The Monkeypod OG Membership is beyond valuable. The campaign breakdowns are easy to follow, the resources are helpful, and the Facebook group is like having an expert council I can use whenever I want. This is a steal. (I’ve actually been telling Greg to raise the price!) If you’ve ever thought to yourself “How do people make this thing work?” then this membership is for you. You can see exactly what other people are doing, and you can bounce ideas off of other business owners who have been where you are, and know what it takes. Take it from me – investing is what I do, and this is a complete no-brainer.

Greg is a breath of fresh air; he is witty, clever and cool. I enjoyed learning from him live at an Infusionsoft training, and immediately was impressed with his approach, teaching style and genuine care for small business owners. I continue to learn marketing and Infusionsoft tips as an OG Member. Greg is responsive, and really is a troubleshooter at heart. Highly recommend for anyone investing time and energy in digital marketing in today’s online climate.

When I joined Infusionsoft in 2012, Greg was the trainer assigned to me. He was absolutely the best! Recently, when I couldn’t figure something out, I wrote to Greg for help and, after answering my question, he suggested I join his membership program. I did, and it was a great decision. I learned more in the first three days then I had in the past few years. My goal was to upgrade how I’m using Infusionsoft, and with the help of Greg and his team, it’s already happening. I’m hooked and appreciate all the help I’ve gotten already.

Greg Jenkins is beyond knowledgeable about Infusionsoft and usually has the inside scoop on most things Infusionsoft but he brings a certain humility to the group. And there are other people in the group that are extraordinarily savvy when it comes to Digital Marketing too. I literally asked one of the hardest questions I could ask, and I received guidance on the proper way to resolve my issue. And the answer was very beneficial because it literally saved me a couple of hundred hours of work and thousands of dollars of a possible hazard. That alone is worth the membership. I know there are a lot of people out there with their videos and their books, but this is the place where Infusionsoft earliest adopters gather. The people that were literally in the Petri Dish while Infusionsoft was being formed. The great minds that built the foundation of Infusionsoft is the same intelligence you will meet in MonkeyPod Grove. The ideas and concepts that were born in Infusionsoft are manifested here.

Greg Jenkins and Monkeypod Marketing are the best. When you have someone like Greg in your corner I don’t see how you can lose. He is one of the most giving & patient guys there is when it comes to passing on knowledge. And when it comes to Infusionsoft I don’t think there is much he does not know – but if he doesn’t he knows key players who do! And what I love is he explains things thoroughly and you never feel like a question is a stupid question.

I recommend becoming a member of Monkeypod OG Facebook group. Why? Access to the best Keap minds in the world. I’ve gotten detailed answers to specific questions quickly. And I’ve gotten new ideas to use for my business from other group member’s questions. It’s like my own private mastermind group. See ya on the inside!

I’ve been into business masterminds that are literally, literally 30 times the price. And they didn’t, and don’t, deliver nearly the value I get from this membership. There’s absolutely no reason not to join…It’s a great value. A great community. Very great interaction between members.

As a Keap Virtual Assistant for 5 years, I still need help every once in awhile with questions or issues I may have. Not only is Gregory Jenkins a knowledgeable, super savvy kinda guy, but he is super responsive to any question you may have in this Facebook group. AND if somehow he can’t answer your question, he has a posse of crazy-tech people that he can ask to chime in. You’ll find your answer. If you get one of your questions answered every month, it pays for itself. So much value. You also get to hear what is coming up in Keap – it’s a bit of the insider clan. Join us. PS: I have found 2 clients from networking inside the Grove.

Hats off to Greg and everyone at the Monkeypod International Headquarters for their dedication to their people!

One of the most responsive AF premium membership groups I’ve ever been a part of. Not only is Greg ready at the helm to assist and go the extra mile, as needed, so are his lieutenants…which consist of some seasoned certified IS professionals. If you run an IS app on your own (or even with a small team), you’re doing yourself a disservice if you don’t use the Monkeypod OG… get to it ‘mofo!’ You’re worth it.

Really impressed with this membership! The group is so warm and welcoming that it’s my first place to ask questions that are even somewhat mildly related to Keap. Or not related at all but the people in there are so great I might as well try! Thanks for all you do. 🙂

How excited can one really be about customer relationship management programs without sounding like a ‘Goof Bag Techno Geek’ and make perfect sense??? Unless you have experienced Greg’s super exciting, down to earth, to the point, no hold bars, keeping it real approach to education, then you have sadly missed out! Having been involved in the education arena myself for more than 20 years, I was totally impressed by how Greg delivered, managed and coordinated information, knowledge, fun and passion into 4 days with 150 business owners. If you are seeking an extraordinary individual to provide passion, excitement in an informative way, then Greg would be that person!! Bottom line he made sense and empowered me to go forward with my learning with confidence. Thank you for your passion!

Greg was my “Professor” at Infusionsoft University – and the experience was both educational and exciting from start to finish. He found a way to make the three-day experience feel like camp, while simultaneously laying the foundation for long-term information retention and comprehension. I walked away from my training with Greg much more knowledgeable on Infusionsoft than when I arrived, but also on marketing strategies and methodologies, in general. As Tony the Tiger would say, “He’s grreeeaaatttt!”

Greg Jenkins is that rare combination of charisma, character, and supreme competence that makes you feel like you’re the only person that matters to him when he’s talking to you, makes you trust him with your kids at the zoo (true story), and makes you believe that he can solve any problem or do any job in your company. And because he’s the most authentic person I know, all of those things are true. Greg is one of the most gifted teachers and presenters I’ve seen, and his ability to make the complex feel simple and accessible is incredible. Specifically regarding sales and marketing strategy and automation and Infusionsoft, he’s in rare air with just a few people on the planet who knows what he knows and can do what he can do. If there was a Heisman for Infusionsoft gurus, Greg would have one.

My team and I worked with Greg over an extended period to tap his technical brilliance. But that was only part of it. The greater benefit for our team was having access to his incredible understanding of strategic marketing, the customer journey and in-house workflows. He’s an excellent educator and a clear and generous communicator. Greg doesn’t seek to keep his clients captive and attached to him - he empowers them to stand on their own. He is the wise mentor available to share what he knows when you are ready to take the next big leap in your business and need a solid knowledge base and the motivation to make a start.

The ‘Foundation of Business Automation’ online course is a MUST WATCH if you’re bamboozled by what automation can do for your business. This is such a good concise course. [Presented] in every day language and is filling a need most prospects I speak to have issues with. Totally consumable in small chunks, that doesn’t overwhelm. You’ll get insights into reviewing your own business workflow and customer journey to see where business automation will support you to do more, while doing less.

It will lay out for you how to get the game changing benefits of business automation. It follows the business automation framework of marketing, sales, service, and operations, and it dives in on the key juncture points, the places where automation is needed to improve the customer experience, to increase efficiencies, and to just help you conquer the chaos inside of your business. So if you feel like you’re not getting all the benefits of business automation that you want, I encourage you to check out this course from Greg and the team at Monkeypod.

Greg is an awesome resource for all things Keap, Infusionsoft, and marketing. As an IS beginner, I completed his Starter Kit, which was extremely valuable. It established a necessary foundation to understand the core components of IS, and I attribute Greg's content to my success so far. I would recommend Greg's courses to anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of marketing, automation, and connecting with customers.

I wanted to thank you for all of the help you have given me, I have purchased most of your programs and I found them not just useful but they were so easy to understand (you know IS is not the easiest program to get) plus they were really down to earth, your personality really comes through. I have watched them all at least twice and each time I pick up something new. So, it was a no-brainer to join Monkeypod OG, everyone in there is so helpful. I especially like the updates to IS that you provide inside OG.

I am so glad that I found your training videos. Keap is massive and overwhelming and there is absolutely no way that the onboarding could ever even come close to touching on everything, let alone explain it in detail. I am just watching each video now and taking notes of the “Ah HA!” moments. I’ll later go back to each segment and try and use what I need. It’s STILL massive and STILL overwhelming, but these little bites at a time help make it manageable. Thanks, Greg! You and your Monkeypods are the shinizzle!

I have been an educator for over 25 years and have been building online courses since the early 2000's. I've also taken quite a number of Keap courses, and I can say without a doubt that I have gotten more out of Greg's trainings at Monkeypod in just a few weeks than any other I have taken. A great teacher is one who can give the most important information but also deliver in a clear and effective manner. All the training materials are oriented to give immediate application without extraneous add-on. If you really want to learn how to work with Keap, take these trainings and follow the clear steps Greg has outlined and you will definitely reap the benefits.

I met Greg when he served as the trainer of Infusionsoft University. Within about 10 minutes you notice that Greg is one of the most skilled Keap users and trainers out there. While his knowledge of the software runs very deep, his ability to make the product understandable to clients is just as impressive. Greg cares about small business owners and their success.

Keap is a very powerful tool which allows you to conduct sophisticated marketing campaigns and to keep your clients happy with regular, automated communication. The fact that it is so powerful can also make it difficult to use. Greg’s Keap courses make the tool much easier to understand and use. Greg takes complex concepts and makes them easily accessible for the average user. I found Greg through one of his free video tip. The tip opened up a whole new way for me to use Keap. I was more than happy to pay for the video series. In the series, I learned at least 10 simple, yet very powerful, things about Keap that I had never known. I highly recommend it.

Greg is the best Keap instructor I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He is able to connect with his audience and break down concepts into easily digestible segments for them to learn.

Thank you so much for creating your training courses. The modules are great, and the information is filling in a lot of the gaps I have had since I began with IS. Even though I have had IS for a while, I felt there were some things missing in my knowledge. Your expertise is impressive and you relay it in an easy to understand way, which is priceless. Thank you so much!

Greg is the real deal. Not only does he know Keap inside and out, he has the innate ability to take complex concepts and break them down into easily digestible, bite-sized pieces – this gift makes it easy for anyone to learn effective marketing concepts and how to create the magic inside Keap. Plus, he’s a ton of fun to have a beer with and I feel like that should count for something.

I first met Greg as an instructor at Infusionsoft University. He is brilliant at distilling the difficult into manageable understandable pieces. His presentation style is superb and he’s so entertaining you’ll forget you’re actually learning really serious stuff. With his Monkeypod courses and membership he’s broken out to serve an even larger community seeking answers to Infusionsoft questions. You can’t go wrong with anything Greg produces. Spoiler alert for anyone seeking to become Infusionsoft certified: I used Greg’s courses as my study guide! They were definitely a key factor in my passing. Thank you Mr. Jenkins!
