017 - Interview with Syed Balkhi from OptinMonster on Lead Generation, CRO and ’Dirty’ Pop-ups

In this episode I interview Syed Balkhi, founder of OptinMonster where he talks about generating quality Leads, Conversion Rate Optimisation, 'dirty' pop-ups and a whole lot more. A big focus of the interview is on OptinMonster, an all-in-one onsite lead generation tool - http://optinmonster.com/. OptinMonster started as a wordpress plugin years ago but now works on any website with just a few small steps. Syed is a true online entrepreneur and has been featured in Forbes, Wired, Entrepreneur Magazine, Inc and countless other main stream media sites. Syed's story is also a very inspirational one. Syed arrived in the US as a 12 year old immigrant. Fast forward to today, Syed is the proud founder of a number of seven-figure online businesses - all at the age of 25. I also chat to Syed about his motivations and what drives him.
