Hasseman Marketing is proud to announce that Genesis WorkFORCE Wellness has decided to partner with them on their Total Wellness program in their service area to help provide companies with a way to enhance their health and wellness programs.
Total Wellness Helps Organizations With Health & Wellness
Health and Wellness programs are incredibly important to organizations looking to not only lower their healthcare costs but also improve productivity and decrease absenteeism. Harvard researchers found that for every dollar spent on employee wellness, medical costs fell by $3.27 and absenteeism dropped by $2.73, resulting in a 6 to 1 return on investment.
“We are so excited to have Genesis partner with us on the program,” says Hasseman Marketing CEO Kirby Hasseman. “Genesis is not only incredibly well respected as a healthcare leader, but they also provide new services for participants to the program.”
The Total Wellness program is designed to be a stand-alone program OR to work with existing health and wellness programs in order to improve engagement and results. The Total Wellness program includes a recruitment plan to help increase participation, a design plan, a branded merchandise plan, and a communication plan. Each of these components is designed to add value, increase participation, and improve results. Learn more here, and get the Wellness Playbook here.

Delivering Marketing Joy is an award-winning interview show that helps marketers level up. Each week, Kirby Hasseman interviews the best and brightest minds in marketing to help you level up. This time on Lessons from DMJ, Kirby talks with Adam Callinan on profitability, Shark Tank, and why every entrepreneur is struggling right now. Watch now.
In this insightful interview, we delve into the entrepreneurial journey of Adam Callinan, the founder of Pentan, an e-commerce-focused SAS company. Callinan, who previously co-founded BottleKeeper, a company that achieved a staggering $8 million in sales without a single employee, shares his experiences, challenges, and lessons learned. He emphasizes the importance of leveraging technology, software, and automation in building a business, as opposed to the traditional approach of hiring people.
Through his unique journey, Callinan provides a fresh perspective on entrepreneurship, highlighting the struggles that every entrepreneur faces, and the importance of creating structure and maintaining physical and mental well-being. He also discusses why many early-stage companies struggle with profitability, and shares his experience of appearing on Shark Tank, which significantly boosted his company’s revenue. Lastly, he offers a special deal for listeners to access Pentan for the first 30 days for just $1.
Building a Company with No Employees
Callinan’s journey with BottleKeeper is a testament to the power of technology and automation in business. With a foundation rooted in a previous medical device business, BottleKeeper was built with strict guardrails to avoid hiring employees. Instead, Callinan focused on using technology and automation to build platforms and manage operations.
This unconventional approach allowed him to maintain control over the business, reduce overhead costs, and achieve impressive sales figures. The success of BottleKeeper serves as a compelling case study for entrepreneurs exploring alternative business models.
Challenges of Building Bottlekeeper
Despite its success, the journey of building BottleKeeper was not without its challenges. Callinan faced difficulties with inventory management and the cyclical nature of the business, which resulted in swings in revenue throughout the year. These challenges, while difficult, provided invaluable lessons that shaped the growth and evolution of the company.
Moreover, Callinan also discusses the mental challenges of dealing with the highs and lows of the business. The entrepreneurial journey, while rewarding, can often be a rollercoaster of emotions, and Callinan’s experience underscores the importance of resilience and adaptability.
Struggles Faced by Entrepreneurs
Callinan highlights the struggles that every entrepreneur faces, emphasizing the need for entrepreneurs to create structure and take care of themselves physically and mentally. The entrepreneurial journey can be fraught with challenges and uncertainties, making it crucial for entrepreneurs to prioritize their well-being and avoid isolation.
Creating structure, setting boundaries, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance are essential for long-term success. Callinan’s insights underscore the importance of self-care in entrepreneurship, a topic that is often overlooked in the pursuit of business success.
Reasons for Early Stage Companies Not Being Profitable
Callinan discusses why many early-stage companies struggle with profitability. He points out that the default approach of raising capital can lead to frivolous spending, and the tendency to add fixed expenses without understanding the necessary revenue levels can hinder profitability.
Understanding financial metrics and marketing efficiency is crucial for profitability. Callinan’s insights provide a valuable perspective for early-stage entrepreneurs, highlighting the importance of financial literacy and strategic planning in achieving profitability.
Impact of Appearing on Shark Tank
Callinan shares his experience of appearing on Shark Tank, a platform that provided incredible free advertising for BottleKeeper. The company experienced a significant boost in revenue after the episode aired, demonstrating the power of strategic exposure and publicity.
The ongoing impact of the Shark Tank appearance on the company’s success is a testament to the importance of seizing opportunities and leveraging platforms for business growth. Callinan’s experience provides valuable insights for entrepreneurs seeking to maximize their visibility and reach.
This offer provides a unique opportunity for entrepreneurs to leverage the power of Pentan’s platform to streamline their operations and enhance their profitability. With its focus on solving financial operation problems, Pentan is poised to be a valuable resource for entrepreneurs navigating the complexities of e-commerce.
You know what time it is! It’s time for Thirsty Thursday! Thirsty Thursday is the award-winning piece of content from Hasseman Marketing where we take a mystery drink out of a piece of branded drinkware! Be careful…it’s not for everyone. This week we feature the 17 oz watercolor drip ceramic mug from Bel Promo. It’s a fun one. Get ready to giggle…and be jealous of this new piece of drinkware. Watch now!

Tasting the Mystery Drink
Now, let’s move on to the exciting part of the show – tasting the mystery drink. We’ve poured the drink into our Bel Promo mugs and are ready to take our first sip. The initial reaction is a mix of surprise and intrigue. The flavor is complex and hard to pin down, with a sweet and salty undertone that leaves us wanting more.
As we continue to sip, we start making guesses about the type of the drink. Is it a craft beer with a unique flavor profile? Or perhaps a flavored coffee with a twist? The suspense is part of the fun, and we’re all eager to find out what this mystery drink is.
Revealing the Mystery Drink
And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for – the revelation of the mystery drink. It turns out to be a salted caramel coffee ale, a unique blend that combines the best of both worlds. The initial sweetness of the caramel is balanced by the bitterness of the coffee, with a hint of saltiness that adds an extra layer of complexity.
Our final thoughts on the drink are mixed. Some of us love the unique flavor combination, while others find it a bit too adventurous. But regardless of our opinions on the drink, we all agree on one thing – the quality of the Bel Promo mug has significantly enhanced our tasting experience.
