Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.
Next area to look at S-A-P growth, Strategic Alliance Partnership growth. This is a slightly different strategy, what you're going do is active cross promoting of complementary services to similar ideal client avatars. What does all that mean? Active cross promoting means I find another company that services a similar client (hey Rob) we have the same ideal client, homeowner, dentist, doctors office you name it but we have non-competing products. Maybe I’m a gutter cleaner and you're a carpet cleaner. So if I’m a gutter cleaner, I’m gonna write a letter to all of my clients and say “hey I know Bob’s gutter cleaning they’re fantastic”. I clean the carpets, he cleans the gutters. If you're in the market for somebody for somebody that does that I vetted them they're really good and they’re gonna give you a special price just because you're a client of mine, thank you for being my customer. They’re gonna do the same thing “hey you should see Carl’s service” they’re non competitive and because the referral comes from a trusted resource they are likely to trust the referred.
