Different Minds, Different Wires Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now that we have rapport, we can now influence somebody to our point of view, right? Remember, there's three styles, right? So think about it.

That is the basis on which we will allow somebody else to be in a relationship with us, or we influence them, or they influence us, okay? And it is how we're...

Meet Them Where They Are Pt 1 Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. When the prospect gives you an answer, you adopt the tone and the volume and the pace that they do. Okay, so here's something that's common that a salesperson will do, right?

Summary: In this episode of #70secondCEO, Carl Gould explains how acquisition growth—specifically roll-ups—can give you a strategic edge in competitive markets.

So we want to make sure that we're focusing on milestones, because milestones and favoring achievement over activity will help you eliminate the competition. Let the other quote, unquote busy companies compete against each other, be among the achievement minded businesses, focus on your milestones on your achievements in advance, and you'll be among the top percentage companies. And lastly, and certainly not least, is your purpose statement. The questions we ask here to develop our purpose statement are why is this business a top priority? Why is having our service important to us? What's going to keep us up late at night and get us out of bed early? Why is it important and urgent for us to be a success in this business? Why are you doing it? What's in it for you?
