What if you could wake up to one warm lead or referral every single day all without cold outreach or expensive ads?

In this episode of the Profit Connections Podcast, I sit down with Jesse Holmes, creator of the Effortless Growth system, to reveal how entrepreneurs can build a steady stream of warm leads in just a few minutes a day.

After scaling a health supplement business to nearly $12 million in sales and walking away from paid ads entirely, Jesse discovered the four key shifts that changed everything, and turned cold connections into consistent, qualified referrals.

Jesse’s approach proves that you don’t need a massive audience, a huge ad budget, or endless hours online, you just need a simple, repeatable system that brings real connection to the front of the line.

Whether you’re just getting started or you’ve been in business for years, these four shifts can help you build a business that grows through trust, relationships, and genuine value. Because when you focus on serving people well, the referrals don’t just come, they compound.

Key Takeaways:

• Cold outreach is inefficient: Warm leads come from trust and that’s where conversion happens.
• Give people what they actually want: Stop giving what you think they need and give what makes them want to refer you.
• Clarity equals connection: Know exactly who your ideal clients are and help others get in front of their ideal clients too.
• Lead with generosity, not sales: When you help others get business, your own referrals multiply naturally.
• Transformation sells: Your story of how you solved a problem is your most powerful marketing tool.
• Systems create consistency: A repeatable, daily system for generating leads will outperform random marketing every time.
• Imperfect action beats overthinking: Show up, follow the process, and build a referral habit that compounds over time.
