Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Stay Focused on Your Core Audience Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. You bring somebody in that's really not as passionate or you're not in the core audience. I'd be like, what are they doing? Letting this person in. If they do that, they must be lowering their standard. Do what I mean? So you've got to maintain your standards at all costs. Companies in winter that do that win the companies that don't lose. And right now, Walmart, John Deere, Bud Light, all these, they're all...

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...

info_outline1302. Let Your Customers Spend Their Way to The Front Row
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
When you buy something you're passionate about and you spend the premium on it, do you complain about it or do you brag about it? You brag about it.
How many of your clients are bragging that they pay your premium amount? How many do you have currently? Zero. Zero. It's not because you're not, you don't like them, it's just you don't have the mechanism for it.
Let's put the mechanism in place. Now don't take this as this is a pricing seminar or this is just the sales and marketing seminar. If you're planning for hyper growth, the first step is to be seen as an authority.
The way to be seen as an authority is through pricing. And the way you get the word out is by creating a mechanism for your clients to buy their way to the front row so they brag about it, right? They're the ones that are going to help you become the authority. And it would be best if you had those people. So, let them spend their way to the front row.
