Mark Michael:
Hey LinkedIn, Broadcasting to you live from Seattle, Washington
And remotely in North Carolina and New Jersey.
Today I am joined by Michael Morris and Patrick place of Hyperlocology.
This video I look at is basically an introduction to
Two great humans at the end of the day
I think people do business with people
And just talking with them
These guys actually care about what they're doing
And as you've been in the game as long as I have
There's just a lot of fakers out there and so
These guys are totally legit
I introduction to Hyperlocology.
Patrick Pleiss and Michael Morris.
Hey guys.
Patrick Pleiss:
Hey, what an intro
Mark Michael:
I crushed that huh?
There was no umm
There was no
I was flowing
I felt for the record.
Patrick Pleiss:
yeah
Mark Michael:
Guys that's what working out does in the morning.
Man, I think Yeah, I do mean it though.
Like you guys are just like a good good human
So you can just talk to you're not always trying to close.
Don't get in touch. tell people what it is you guys do?
Patrick Pleiss:
Yeah sure.
So what we do is we solve problems for multi location businesses
Oftentimes their franchises.
So we help provide sophisticated marketing to oftentimes smaller locations
That don't have access to the bigger platforms
Or are some of the harder aspects of marketing.
So we work with the brand to ensure that each one of the locations
Is able to have representation in the community they serve.
Mark Michael:
Yeah
How many brands are you guys working with today?
Or are projected to work with this year?
Either one, Michael?
Michael Morris:
Yeah, we're about 20 brands currently.
Michael Morris:
And yeah, we enterprise from the start
We started off working with a major financial services company.
So we started off actually in financial services
But quickly realized the technology and the solution that we built
You know, over the last three and a half years
Actually made a ton of sense for almost any multi-location business
Franchise businesses
Especially where this you know
This parent child relationship, right?
There's a marketing team that needs to control
And oversee what's going on in all the various locations.
So what started off as a financial services product
And we thought, Hey
We're gonna have this awesome business that you know
Is going to be one massive client and that's pretty cool.
And then we you know, through word of mouth
Picked up a lot of people through brands
And QSR auto aftermarket.
So we've we've expanded and last three years.
Mark Michael:
Yeah. And you know, you guys are legit
When like a customer of ours is like
Talk to these guys, you know?
Like that's like, to me the best intro referral, right?
When it's not like I was trying to sell you
Or you're trying to sell me
But it was like somebody that totally
You know
That the world thinks the best of both of us
Thinks that we should talk.
And so that's how I was introduced to these guys too.
So
Michael Morris:
for countless events, we don't get in person.
We don't get to go to these in person events anymore
But I think that's actually how you got put in touch with a mutual contact, right?
Mark Michael:
Yeah, I mean, they're there. They are actually a customer of ours.
Oh, yeah. Nice. Yeah.
We love everybody.
And I just love that your guys's stories to founders
I mean, I, I've told so many people that over the years that like
Again, it's like you want two founders in a company.
I mean, again, probably going off a little bit right now
But I still just I love it because it's like, you can both argue
This is how I operate my own
My co-founders has been my business partner since I was 17.
It's like you can both argue
But both of you still want to move the business forward.
And even if you don't listen to the other person
Like, it's like, you still apologize if you're wrong.
And if you're right, you let them know that you're right.
You're right, you know
And I think you guys are gonna just crush this year
And I don't know, I said I wanted to do it at the beginning
But you guys do have something special cooking for a lot of brands.
I won't get into any details
But when do you think people could see that from?
Patrick Pleiss:
You know, we're hoping next week
Mark Michael:
Hell yeah
Patrick Pleiss:
You know, we mentioned the kind of brands that we work with
And the current, I guess, situation is really affecting a lot of our clients.
So we we sit in a place of power right now
Where we can lend a hand
And we're really trying to put that together
And come out with something that will help you
Hopefully alleviate a little bit of stress for some of the brands
That are feeling it the most.
Mark Michael:
Yeah, and from what I've heard and seen
I think you
I think it will so
Let's get together then next week
And I'll let you guys give the exclusive
You know
But then I want like the first right of refusal
Or whatever it would be called the ____ world.
to like.
Patrick Pleiss:
Bad handshake on that.
