#154: [Case Study] How a CrossFit Gym Owner is Getting 6000% ROI on His Facebook Ads with Sam Payne

On today’s episode of The Art of Paid Traffic, I’m joined by Sam Payne, a CrossFit gym owner in the United Kingdom.

For the past several years, Sam has been trying to grow his business using Facebook ads, and in the last year and a half or so, has seen amazing success.

Sam’s been doing so well using Facebook ads to get new customers into his gym that he’s seeing about a 6000% ROI, while only spending £5.00 per day on ads.

As you’ll hear today, Sam is a frequent listener of The Art of Paid Traffic. But more importantly, he implements and tests what he learns.

We dive into the strategies that are working best for him, the changes he had to make in his marketing strategy, how he researches his targeting, and a whole lot more…

On the Show Today You’ll Learn: The mistakes Sam made when first starting out, and the conversation with a new client that changed everything for him and his business
How he uses frequent surveys with clients to see trends, and what he does with the information he learns How Sam discovered overlap when looking at his competitors’ audiences – and used this insight to his advantage
Why he deliberately doesn’t mention “Crossfit” early in his longer form content…
We dive into all his numbers - how much he spends, the amount of leads generated, sign ups to his introductory course and more
The Objectives that he is seeing the best results from (you may find his answer surprising)! How he plans to use these strategies to take his business to the next level (including filling a new facility with members before it even opens)!  

As you’ll hear, Sam is a great example of someone who does his due diligence and makes the effort to really learn about his actual customer. Most importantly, he’s not only doing a lot of testing but he’s also tracking his numbers very closely to optimize his results with Facebook ads.

Big Thanks… (and win a 30-minute strategy session with me!)

Huge thank you to everyone who messaged me on Facebook with their feedback and ideas for the podcast!
