Did you Know Being #2 is OK? Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.   Position means what position in the marketplace you occupy. Are you the thought leader? Are you the most expensive? Are you in the middle of the road? Are you the value play? None better than the other, but which one are you? Are you a me too?

Carl Gould #70secondCEO

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So the question I’m asking today is in these four examples, which of the legs of your business might need some strengthening? And then we'll talk about some ideas about that, right. So now back to the analogy, I’ve got the table legs underneath it, I pull one leg out the table is still okay, I haven’t touched it, I haven’t put any pressure on it, right. It’s like your business, you might have a lost leg but if there’s no external pressure, no force...

Business Legs - Part 1 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.   So if I were to put the table with four legs just like that slide,that table had four legs, okay? I would walk up, grab one leg, and pull it out. Now we have a table with three legs under it. Upon pulling out that fourth leg, what would happen to the table? (Okay, guys might wanna come off mute), yeah, it would fall--it would fall right away, not necessarily, right? So I pull out that leg; it might stay depending on how things are...

During Down Turns, Buyers Refer to Experts Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.    Pricing is the number one way that you communicate with your clientele. As soon as you advertise your pricing, you do two things. One is you tell them who you are. I'm the premium version, I'm the mid version, I'm the economy version, and they're all good. There's buyers for all three, so you don't have to say which one's better than the other. But one thing that either, if you are among the highest...

Cut Through the Clutter   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.   I eat a very plant-based diet. Whenever I go to a restaurant,  I can tell if they know how to serve a vegan, basically.  Are they just, did they Google it and say,  okay, anything that's not this? Or do they actually know?

Understand Who is Your Ideal Avatar 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.

Understand Who is Your Ideal Avatar   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. One exercise that every business owner has to do is make sure that they take a step back and understand who their ideal client avatar is, right?  So if you get an ideal client, and you know what's going on in their life right now and what would trigger them to call you or accept your call right now, that's the key, right?  I'll use myself as an example in just a minute.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

If you’re positioning your business for sale its--the business has to be a machine that runs without you. You know you’re building an automobile and then you're teaching somebody else to drive it and the less that the business relies on you on a day in, day out basis the more saleable your business is, if somebody looks at your business and says “well jezz if he and leaves, half of the clients go with him," well the business is worth a lot less than if you were to say "well if I buy the business and he up and leaves and all the clients are under contract and is monthly recurring or annual recurring revenue or you know everything is transferable or clients don’t know who he is then the business is actually more valuable," so putting the processes in place, having the intellectual property meaning the secret sauce that is unique only to you and you’ve got the package, promoted or protected it and you have somebody who generates leads and somebody who creates those leads in the sales and somebody who’s in charge of fulfilling those orders in place, you have very salable assets.
