Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Low performers, who complains about not being accountable. Low performers, you're getting it, right? Go to battle with those that you could do that. All right, so now I'll give you some of the trends that I'm seeing. All right, so we do business and we've advised companies in 78 countries. One of the advantages of that is we see trends before they come here and we also, for our other than US clients, we see the trends here and we can run over there...

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So now business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers don't like...

Why do we care that we have rapport? Why do we care that we have influence? Well, first off, we need rapport because we need to build a relationship. I'm going to ask you a couple of questions in a moment, but we need to build a relationship with other people. And there are only three styles out there. You're one of them. There are two others. And for our purposes, you are basically wired like one-third of the population...

Are you committed? Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And the bet was that if you win, I give you an additional $100,000, right? But if I win, I get your entire net worth, all of it. I get the car, I get the house, I get the 401k, all of it. It's all gone if I win. And all you have to do is bring in one more deal by the end of August. How many of you think you would probably do that? If all of that was on the line, how many of you think you would do that? I think most of you would, if not...

Minimize the Gatekeeper, Maximize Access Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Between 7 and 9 a.m. The reason why I do that is that I minimize the gatekeepers that keeps me away from my prospects. I know at 7 a.m., business owner, decision makers, get their phone, it's arm's distance away, and they can't help themselves. They'll see that phone ring and they're like, Oh, my assistant isn't around. Someone has got to answer this phone. Ring number three, ring number four. Drives them crazy. Go to that...

Take an Honest Assessment Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Too good at what you do to not have the lead flow that you need. You're too good at what you do. So I know darn well if you went to every trade show and if you were at every event and you were typing in every time I asked and you were going for it 100%, you'd have your leads, right? And so July is a great opportunity to say, all right, yeah, yeah, yep. I went to go see the 4th of July fireworks on the 2nd of July. Also, instead of doing...

Are you in the convenient mode? And here's what we find out almost 100% of the time. You're not getting the results you want, you probably fell into the convenient mode. And I understand. I live in a shore state, New Jersey. We have a beach, backs right up to the Atlantic Ocean. And guess where everybody is from now until Labor Day? There. Guess where they're not? At networking events, schlepping...

Referral Party Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now I'm trying to make it sound fun, like, yay, referral party, but we also call it a one-to-one house call. It's a meeting with somebody where you sit down and you say to them, Here's what's going on in my world. And here's what a good introduction looks like for me. Tell me what's going on in your world and what a good introduction makes for you. And we don't get off the phone until we make at least one introduction for each other. You do...

Talk to 24 People—Get One Referral pt.2 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I don't know where the universe or the volcanic activity that regulates this is, but when I have 12, I get no leads. When I have 36 or 48, leads, the quality of them goes down. Somewhere in that bubble of 24, and here's what I think, I think it's because I stay in touch with them, their frequent dinner or networking people, I see them on a regular basis, we tend to talk a lot, we tend to have deep conversations, something...

Talk to 24 People—Get One Referral Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. What can we bring in? What are other activities? So if you look at the second one right there, one of the things that I like to have is I like to have I found over the years, I don't know what the magic science is behind it. I don't know how the planets rotate to make this work. After 35 years as an advisor and 40 years as an entrepreneur total, what I found is if I maintain a good stable of 24 people that will refer me...

Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results.
Well, number one when I ask clients about their ideal client, I say, “Tell me who your ideal client is?” and they’ll say, “Men 18 through 64, Women 29 through 42.” And I’d say, “Whoa, whoa! An 18 year old male and a 64-year-old male, those are two different planets! Let alone different ages.” You know your message to a 29 year old woman and a 42 year old woman, totally different.
They haven’t dialed in to who their ideal client avatar is enough, and they haven’t understood exactly what drives the purchases of each person. So what I highly recommend is you circle back and you pick an age for who your ideal client or clients are and have separate avatars and what is your message to them.
Right so, what is going on in their life right now, or in their business right now, that makes purchasing from you a must right now. And if you can answer that question, you probably have a better feel for who your ideal client is and what, how best to services them right now
