The Client Picked You Because You Are the Best Option Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO - just a little over a minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. They're not going to pay a whole bunch of money on the off chance you're good. They're going to think you're really good already. They're going to think and by the way, if you fire them, guess what they lose you and they think you're the best option, right? That's why I was in a position one time in my landscaping company where I was in a position where I had to give back the guarantee, but if I gave him back the...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Consumers Categorize Themselves by The Pricing They Pick Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Invisible Pricing - Need a Better Offer Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. A year, that means you're one in 600 people. That is 10 million or more, and we need to walk into a building that has 12,000 people in it to meet a peer. What we do is not easy, right? So you're doing all of this work only to price yourself to where you're invisible. That's got to change. It is unacceptable to me that you sit down with a client, you're as knowledgeable as you are, you teach them everything they...

Carl Gould #70secondCEO
Consumers Value an Expert Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. And so here's what I learned. What I learned was if people value what you do, if they really value what they do, and if they have a need, they want to go with an expert. I had built the reputation of the guy who came in and would bang out a job and get the heck out of there. And we demanded that we had access to your property from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week. Really? Like you're going to be at my house on...

info_outlineCoaching?
Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
People come into coaching because they have a ceiling somewhere, right? There are some belief systems or rules or values or principles that has got them to a certain level but is preventing them from getting to the next level and specifically in coaching, if somebody starts to take over and says “I’m gonna tell you how is this gonna going all that”, they are likely using the strategy that they actually need to overcome in order to be more successful. So, the very thing they’re trying to use to dominate or direct the conversation is the very thing that they need to correct. It’s the limiting belief that’s holding them back, so as a coach, I would highlight that and say, “alright mister/ms.pushy you know mister/ms.”, Micro culture, you know who’s the coach here if you're--if you're trying to take over that cool if I recognize that limiting belief or pattern, I’ll just bring it out and say “look you ask me to work on this particular pattern, it’s exactly what you’re using now and you know, you want--you want to direct, I’m not saying don’t co-create, you should do that let’s design and set the expectations together but if they’re stepping outside of that then yeah I would speak up as the coach”.
