[Interview] Trey Colley | Founder Of QuickJump
Introduction:
Trey Colley is the Founder & CEO of QuickJump LLC, a social media marketing a growth agency that has been making waves in the digital marketing sector for the past couple of years.
At just 22 years old, his rapidly growing business has achieved revenue growth that has made many of his largest competitors pause in astonishment, and even has them reaching out to request partnerships and joint ventures.
By the age of 21 years old, he had built the company of his dreams, moved into his dream home in Henderson, NV, and was living a life many only dream of. He went all in, risked it all, and it paid off big.
Due to the nature of the work QuickJump does, and its high-level celebrity clientele, Trey regularly travels the world and helps some of the biggest celebrities and brands take their brands on social media to the next level.
How did the idea for QuickJump begin?
QuickJump LLC helps brands gain more social proof and authority in their niche or industry, which naturally leads to clients seeing higher conversion rates, and faster growth. To date, we have assisted in growing over 10,000+ brands, in nearly every niche there is, at a truly remarkable speed.
As QuickJump continues to grow, so do the services that we offer. From celebrity marketing & social media consulting, to full-scale PR campaigns, we are constantly looking to improve on the services we already offer and innovate new ones.
Can you tell us about your entrepreneurial journey … from where you started, to how you first entered the industry, to the founding of QuickJump?
I started trying to make money with Instagram back in 2019, but due to the timing of it all, the companies I would try to build were short-lived. However, in 2020 I bounced back with a few new ideas, and the final idea is the one that gained momentum. That idea was the social media branding agency now known as QuickJump. The name QuickJump comes from our unique ability to “quick jump” brands to unprecedented growth and industry-leading speed.
Many of our readers are Startup Entrepreneurs. Could you describe the process of how you first launched QuickJump, and where the idea for it came from?
The idea came from seeing the struggle and desire of trying to stand out on social media. With different platforms, there are different algorithms and so much competition. I kept experimenting with ways to grow my brand until I finally discovered our trade secret method for growing brands. Now we’ve helped thousands of brands level up their social medial presence.
Since you first launched your company, what has worked best for you in terms of attracting, and retaining, your clientele?
Monetizing the results and testimonials of our current clientele.
Moreover, providing the best guarantees, and protecting our reputation at all costs. A huge issue with the social media space is the number of scams and false promises. So, we simply provided unheard of guarantees and we’re always extremely transparent about the expectations of the service we’re providing … we prefer to under-promise and then seriously over-deliver.
We also genuinely care about our client’s success, although, we rarely ever use the term “client”. We look at each person who joins the QuickJump family, as truly being a friend, and we make sure to look out for them and their success the same way we would for a friend.
What is your main strategy when it comes to making more people aware of your brand, and engaging new potential clientele? How do you make your business stand out in such a competitive landscape?
Our main strategy is partnering up with agencies and companies that have many brands that could benefit from the services we provide. We work out strategic partnerships with a vast number of companies throughout the year. Moreover, as we grow more and more brands, word of mouth spreads fast about the results we’re getting our clients. Referrals are very common.
What are the three biggest challenges you have faced growing the business, and how did you overcome them?
Three massive challenges I faced while scaling QuickJump were delegation, lead generation, & finding trustworthy influencers to work with.
Delegating was hard at first since I could do everything perfectly fine myself, but it was eating up all of my time, and I knew that hiring would dig into the cash flow of the business. However, once I realized that my time is more valuable than some of the jobs I was doing, I decided to go through the process of building the right team. This process taught me how to properly incentivize my team members so we’re all successful and happy.
In regard to lead generation, I solved this problem by forming strategic partnerships with other agencies so that I could tap into completely new networks.
As far as the influencer partnerships go, I managed to create a very strict vetting system when picking out the influencers we wanted to work with.
How is QuickJump doing today, and what does the future look like?
QuickJump is dominating the industry, which as an entrepreneur, I’m incredibly proud of. There is no comparison in the US right now, not just because of our unbeatable pricing, but because of our unheard-of guarantees. If we don’t get our client’s results, we don’t get paid. Most companies in the sector are not willing to do that .. we are.
Now, we are doing multiple six figures per month in sales, and have achieved or surpassed our goals.
Soon we plan on going through an entire rebranding phase to realign the company as an upper echelon brand. Moreover, we plan on launching even more life-changing services that we can’t reveal quite yet.
What excites you most about your industry, and where do you see it heading in the near future?
I’m really looking into getting more involved in disruptive tech. As I continue to help consult more online brands, I begin to find more and more patterns that can be solved with streamlined software. The future is bright, and the ventures we will get involved with next, will be industry-changing.
Where do you see QuickJump being five years from now?
I believe QuickJump will easily achieve the 9-figure mark within the next five years. By then we may go by a different name, or may have a subsidiary company under QuickJump that allows us to be more software-based. We could potentially even go public with the right team.
As an entrepreneur, what is it that motivates and drives you?
Enlightening people is what motivates me. I want to do God’s work and focus on helping people fulfill their purpose for being here. Unfortunately, in order to make an impact, you must have access to a lot of money and resources.
So, I will continue to build companies that provide value at scale to not only help society grow but also fund the projects I really care about, like raising human consciousness. There is more than what meets the eye and it’s time for everyone to let go of the illusion we’re stuck in.
Through starting this truly incredible business, have you learned any valuable lessons you could share with our readers?
I have learned that you can only achieve what you believe to be possible. Moreover, the biggest mistake people make in their life is that they never decide what they actually want out of their life.
Until you fill in the details of your “life map” if you will, you’ll never know which path to take to achieve success. Ultimately, we need to spend less time fantasizing, and more time taking the steps needed to make the fantasy a reality.
What’s one piece of advice that you wish someone had given you at the start of your Entrepreneurial journey?
Based on the circumstances I was in, and how well I played my cards, I wouldn’t change anything about my journey. With that said, I could have used some tips on investing earlier, but even then, I still needed to reinvest nearly everything back into myself and my business. That ended up being the greatest investment I could make.
If you could go back in time to when you were just getting started, what would you do differently?
Even if I told my past self the exact blueprint, it wouldn’t have helped. In many cases, you have to be ready for the answers or they will go right over your head. The teacher will appear when the student is ready, and I believe that the questions and challenges I faced back then, are what allowed me to mould myself into the person I am today.
Could you tell us 3-4 books that have inspired, encouraged, and influenced you on your entrepreneurial journey so far?
These are the books that helped kickstart everything for me, and I would highly recommend them to any entrepreneur at any stage of their entrepreneurial journey.
They are:
- Think & Grow Rich
- The Slide Edge
- The E-Myth
- Zero to One
These books helped me in becoming the entrepreneur I always wanted to be, in incalculable ways, and I cannot stress how powerful books are. Keep in mind I read on average one book every two weeks, so it was a mix of these, with over 50 others, that have helped guide me on my journey.
As a highly successful Entrepreneur & Industry Titan yourself, do you have any advice for other entrepreneurs who want to get started, or have just started out?
Find your purpose, master the law of attraction, stop caring about what other people think, and stay true to your morals and ethics.
It’s always better to pay more to make sure the client is happy. Client satisfaction comes first.
What has been your greatest achievement so far?
My greatest achievement has been in building a business that allows me to be financially free and do whatever I want, whenever I want. I can make money from anywhere in the world, all I need is a Wi-Fi connection. Life is about the experience, go out and live.
