Mitch Conquer’s path to marketing success is anything but conventional. Starting as a correctional officer with zero marketing background, Mitch made a dramatic career pivot after seeing a young YouTuber earn six figures. Today, he’s building a private equity firm focused on home service companies, implementing effective marketing strategies, and leveraging AI tools like CloseBot to help businesses grow.
An Unconventional Start
Mitch spent three and a half years in law enforcement before making the leap into marketing. During his lunch breaks “between criminals,” he would Google “get rich quick” and “how to start a marketing agency.” Six years later, he’s established himself as a successful marketer with a unique perspective on how businesses should approach content and customer acquisition.
The Full-Funnel Approach
Mitch advocates for a simplified but complete marketing funnel approach:
- Top of Funnel: Create content that drives traffic and builds awareness
- Middle of Funnel: Establish trust by sharing your background and showing why people should work with you
- Bottom of Funnel: Present your offer to an audience that now knows, likes, and trusts you
He emphasizes that most businesses make the mistake of jumping straight to bottom-funnel content (“buy my stuff”) before building an audience or establishing trust.
The AI Integration
While Mitch has received attention for his AI implementations, he’s quick to point out that AI tools like CloseBot aren’t magic solutions—they’re components of a larger system. He shares:
“CloseBot didn’t make me successful, didn’t make my business successful. It simply helped facilitate a piece of the backend infrastructure of my company.”
One impressive case study he mentions is testing CloseBot’s multilingual capabilities. He discovered the system can successfully communicate with clients in Hindi and Punjabi, opening up service opportunities for diverse populations.
Building a Private Equity Future
Mitch is pivoting from a pure agency model to building a private equity firm specializing in home service companies. Rather than simply selling services, he’s taking equity in these businesses by implementing content strategies and AI systems (including CloseBot) to generate more traffic and convert more leads.
His “Content Conversion Engine” focuses specifically on local home service companies, creating a win-win partnership where his marketing expertise helps companies scale while he benefits from partial ownership.
Key Takeaways from Mitch’s Experience
- Trust the process: Mitch notes that content marketing works, but requires patience and consistency
- Focus is crucial: Learning to say “no” to opportunities outside your core focus is essential for growth
- Simplify your approach: Make marketing straightforward—create traffic, build trust, then convert
- AI tools complement strategy: Tools like CloseBot are powerful parts of a system, not standalone solutions
- Provide value first: Give away knowledge freely, knowing most won’t implement it themselves
Mitch’s journey shows that success comes from mastering fundamentals, building authentic relationships, and implementing the right systems—including AI tools like CloseBot—to scale effectively.
