Today, we’d like to introduce you to Chris Dreyer. Chris was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Ashley Owens.
Hi Chris, we’re so thrilled to have you sharing your story with us today. Maybe we can kick things off by having you introduce yourself to our readers? We’d love to have you go into your story and how you got to where you are today.
I grew up a rebel…I don’t like being told what to do and knew I was different. I went to college to make mom and dad happy and somehow ended up with a history education degree even while being a terrible student. I was hired to be a basketball coach and detention room teacher at a high school and typed in “how to make money online”. I implemented what it taught and quadrupled what I was earning. The rest is is history (yes puns allowed). I started an affiliate marketing business and grew it to over 100 sites, then launched an agency, Rankings.io. Rankings has made the Inc 5000 fastest growing companies in the United States list the last six years in a row.
Please tell us more about your brand, Rankings.io
Rankings is an award-winning digital marketing agency for lawyers. We’re the best at what we do. Our clients are #1 (#2 is the first loser) in their markets. We are primarily a search engine marketing agency offering – SEO, Local SEO, PPC, LSA, and design.
So, as we mentioned to our audience earlier, you were introduced to us by Ashley Owens and Ashley Assists, LLC and we really admire them and what they’ve built. For folks who might not be as familiar, can you tell them a bit about your experience with Ashley Assists, LLC.
Business development is a challenge at events. I hired Ashley Assists because I didn’t want to take the conventional approach of sponsoring a booth and being a sheep amongst sheep. Most of the time a sponsorship is not commensurate with the value you receive. I didn’t want to be landlocked as an order taker, I wanted to be a hunter. I hired Ashley because she had a proven track record of hunting…and the best part….the hunted don’t even know it’s happening. She is a driver. I haven’t done a personality assessment, but she’s most certainly a “Di”. These type of individuals execute. They get shit done! She nurtures referral partners, creates sales development opportunities, helps retain key clientele, books top talent on our podcast, and is an out-of-the-box thinker that sees business opportunities others may have missed.
