Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Getting Past the Gatekeeper: The Owner Always Answers Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. So hard to get through the gatekeeper. Who's not there? The employees? Who is there? You are. I said you want to find the owner? Just call off-peak hours. Because the phone probably rings to them anyway. Because no one else will own it and they don't want to miss a sale. I said the owners are easy to find. It's the employees that are harder to find. So we need to get past that. Never was there a better example than when Elon Musk bought Twitter. On the day that Elon Musk...

Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Two Compliments for Every Correction
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. We are specific is the degree you can let go and be a coach. If you haven't prepared them, they don't know the system, and you become high supportive, you are asking for a train wreck. You are asking for big problems because then they're just gonna be like, oh, oh, okay, we can do what we want now. And then they'll misinterpret what needs to be done.

Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
So, yeah COVID I think, we're telling our clients right now, guys let’s assume we are post-covid right now, meaning the pandemic is gonna continue, mass and social distancing and hand sanitizing that’s gonna be around for the next 2 years, easy 2 years. The pandemic is not all of a sudden gonna come to a close, it’s gonna take a long time, probably the next 2 years to work its way through society. So, as business owners we have to assume we are post-covid. In other words we have to assume that, the way the buyers are acting right now, they are gonna act for the next 2 years. On top of that we are in the business season of winter which is, winter comes around every 80 years in business, it’s a 20 year to 25 year cycle and for the next 5 to 9 years we’re gonna be in this business season of winter where we are re-calibrating. The markets are re-calibrating flushing out extra equity and extra value out of the markets and they’re correcting, happens every 80 years, we’re in the middle of it. So, if you take what’s going on right now, you should expect the volatility and the way we do business with buyer preferences, that’s gonna be around for the next handful of years for sure. So we have to respond to that, we have to kind of rejig and rethink and redefine the customer relationship to match where the buyers are right now.
