The-Mirror-Test-by-Jeffrey-Hayzlett

Can your business put a fog on the mirror?

Do your customer know you are even alive?

Are you ready to catapult past your competitors and create success in any economy?

With sage advice from a boot wearing cowboy “Celebrity CMO” straight off his horse is exactly how Jeffrey delivers is experience so you can benefit from his successes.

A South Dakotan who has a reverence for Native Americans has grabbed my attention and respect as I dug deeply in his new book The Mirror Test and I prepared for Jeffrey’s interview.

What will we ask him today you ask…(you will be tweeting some questions LIVE right?  Since where can you get the benefit of talking with a multimillionaire CMO and ask his advice for FREE?)  Remember to use hashtag #BBSradio so we see it quickly.

You can call in and listen via your phone too 646-200-3742

 

We will ask:

1. What do you mean use a tool don’t be one?
2. How did you chose the four E’s?
3. You want me to Transpromo what?
4. How do we take it a step past Personalized?
5. What is the Holy Grail of Marketing?

What questions will you add to this list?…

What would you do if you learned not one or two but THREE powerful things you would put into practice immediately and then report back to use in 90 days your results?

Can you see yourself achieving some of those goals

you set for your business?

Imagine you were getting these results…

Dubbed “The Celebrity CMO” by Forbes Magazine, Jeff has successfully leveraged multiple media appearances, including CNBC’s The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch, Fox Business News, and NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump. Drawing upon an eclectic background in business, buoyed by a stellar track record of keynote speaking, and deeply rooted in cowboy lore, Jeff energizes his role as a change agent. He is a turnaround architect of the highest order, a maverick marketer who delivers scalable campaigns, embraces traditional modes of customer engagement, and possesses a remarkable cachet of mentorship, corporate governance and brand building. (taken from Jeffrey’s Linkedin Profile and written by our returning guest J.D. Gershbein)

“The mirror doesn’t lie and neither does this book” with a cowboy’s swagger says Jeffrey.

Women In Business Radio

Is birthing Labor day Sept. 6, 2010.  You want to set your timers and put it on your schedule.

 

Our first guest is Karen McCullough, author of The Seven Women Project. (read more here<<<)

 

Listening to women all year at conferences, networking events and during one on ones a consistent message came through loud and clear…women want a way to have their own “Good Ole Gal Network” they can rely on to grow their businesses through WOM (word of mouth) relationship building networks.

When was the last time you thought about collaborating with another woman in business for your team?

With women being the fastest growing segment of businesses started now for over ten years let’s look at some of those numbers.

• There were an estimated 10.4 million privately-held firms;
• This accounted for two in five (40.2%) of all businesses in the country; and
• These firms generated $1.9 trillion in annual sales and employed 12.8 million people nationwide.

 

Another surprising insight is that women are considered to be more HONEST than men in business.  In a day and age when consumers are looking to align their purchase power and buying dollars with businesses that deal with them in a more ethical manner, things are looking up for women in business today.

Women In Business Radio is forming around the mission to be the communication hub to that everyday local business women who plays a very important role in our economic vitality in each city across America.

We are creating a blog right now for this new show and if you know a women who we can interview on Women In Business Radio then email Michele at TheBreakthroughSpecialist@gmail(dot)com with Women In Business Radio in the subject line and introduce us to who you know or want us to give coverage to on Women In Business Radio.

 

 

We have all heard it…The Old ways of selling and reaching our customers are DEAD.  In that particular climate we are seeing people fearful to raise their prices to keep them in profitable business.  They are concerned that with folks more price conscious that they will lose business if they move that needle on the money!

Well we are WRONG!

You can call in and listen via your phone too 646-200-3742

The Myth of Price is a long held fear that has bankrupted many a business.

Can you afford you business to fold and close it’s doors because you were afraid to raise your prices?

1. What if you could learn how to out sell your low-price competitors?
2. What is the Jedi Mind-Trick your prospects use against you for a discount and how to vaporize it!
3. Do you want to know what people really mean when they say “Price is Important”?
4. You want to know how to make your price seem like a bargain?

These are all the things we will be learning and discussing with Don Cooper, The Sales Heretic Monday, August 23, 2010 at 12pm ET, 11am CT on Breakthrough Business Strategies Radio.

Who the heck is Don Cooper and why should you listen to him?

Great question.  Here is what Don WON’T tell you…

• Where he was born
• Where he went to school
• How many kids he has
• What are his major accomplishments

WHY?  Because they do not affect your bottom line of help you create stronger sales.

You do not care about any of that unless he can get results on our topic, right!

Here is why you will want to learn from Don on today’s show…

“Don’s mastery of the subject matter really gets the point across.”—Martin Cooley, Network Computing Technologies

“I am still amazed by your energy and ability to “carry the floor” for over 5 hours and still keep your audience in the palm of your hand.”—Robert Luna, Medical Management Consultants

“This is my 3rd year (attending Don’s program) and my sales have skyrocketed!” —Bob Maris, The Boat King

This is Don’s second appearance on Breakthrough Business Strategies.  WHY?  Because listeners LOVE his advice and material.  Because they get results when they use his wisdom AND because he delivers it in ways that you  stay interested and absorb it fully.

Today’s interview is the equivalent of you attending a presentation that companies pay over $5,000 to deliver to their employees.  You ready to take it in for the exchange of your lunch hour?  I thought so!

You can call in and listen via your phone too 646-200-3742

Grab your coffee, sandwich or salad and you will want a pencil with paper to take notes (do not say I didn’t warn you you will want to take notes)

It use to be when you were an author you had instant credibility and made money.

TODAY, you still have credibility and the journey to getting your book found is way different than even 5 years ago. With the changing landscape of publishing and more importantly how consumers purchase and use books lies the rainbow for authors.

With our lifestyle being more on the go than ever you can either complain about things going to fast and become a breaker in the choppy sea or you can recognize it is moving forward with or without you and learn to swim in the current.

Twitter is one of those currents that at first feels

like a choppy sea.

Our lifeguard is Tee Morris author of Teach Yourself Twitter in 10 Minutes. Tee Morris has been a leading edge visonary in social media especially when it comes to applying out of the box thinking to delivering books.

How Can You Leverage Social Media

to Get Your Book Found

 

 

Tee’s ability to deliver learning from both a practical and straightforward manner is refreshing.  This allows you once you have  a clear strategy for what you want to achieve to implement the tactics in ways to create predictable results for you.  Today we will discuss how you can use Twitter to promote your book and Tee will give you great examples of how he has done that for himself.  Tee will also give you heads up on what to avoid so you are not stubbing your toes as much.

 

Using Twitter to Promote Your Book

We will discuss:

• Creating a complete profile that encourages connections both personal and professional for your book
  
• Creating avatars that best represent you and your book
  
• Expressing yourself in 140-characters or less creatively
  
• Exchanging links efficiently across the Twitter network to promote your book
  
• Exchanging media (photos, video, and audio) across Twitter highlighting your book

Bring your questions, this is like receiving FREE consulting so you will want to take advantage of Tee answering your burning questions.  You can do that by following hashtag #BBSRadio. You can tweet your questions using #BBSRadio or tweeting directly to @prosperitygal and I will ask Tee your question.  You choose!

Social Media was born out of the basic human need to connect with others and be a part of a community

 

 

LinkedIn, the largest professional network in the world, allows users the opportunity to build and develop tightly-knit business relationships that can be leveraged for real-world gain.  LinkedIn is not merely a virtual Rolodex, or a static directory of contacts.  Your mission is to invite people to connect, create touch points with your connections, and ideally, move the relationship forward.  Through artful and diplomatic communication on LinkedIn, you can ultimately identify prospects for your products or services, sell or market your products or services directly, cultivate referral sources, and gain favorable introductions to potential clients.

 

Many business owners are wondering how do I create this community and caring mindset as that was not something that they were taught nor welcomed in the business world they have participating in for the past 30 years.  Monday, August 2 at 12pm ET, 11am CT 10am MT 9am PT, J.D. and Michele will dig down into that topic so that when you listen you walk away with actionable strategies to build a stronger virtual community inside Linkedin.

Monday 12pm ET, 11am CT 10am MT 9am PT

Have you experienced any of this:

• Received Linkedin connection request and you had no idea who they were?
• Received connections then no one ever made further contact with you?
• Spent time in Linkedin and wanted to find specific types of people and didn’t know how to find them?
• Your inbox full of unwelcome events notices from people who never took time to have a one on one with you?

You enjoyed J.D.Gershbein so much the last time he was on Breakthrough Business Strategies that we are bringing him back for a regular spot on our schedule as our in-house Linkedin expert.  A lot like having your own Linkedin strategist on retainer.  Let us share a little bit more about J.D. with you so you get a feel for who he is and what he has accomplished.

 

J.D. GERSHBEIN, CEO of OWLISH COMMUNICATIONS, is a specialist in the Art and Science of LinkedIn.  He is a gifted wordsmith who fashions unique and stylized LinkedIn profiles, facilitates his revolutionary LinkedIn workshop programs, and delivers customized LinkedIn training for individuals, groups, and companies.  J.D. is considered one of the top LinkedIn strategists in the world and a pioneer in the delivery of LinkedIn education.  Widely known for his thought-provoking and entertaining keynote speeches and presentations, J.D. focuses on personal branding, content management, communication etiquette, and strategic marketing on LinkedIn – at all levels of fluency, from novice to dedicated user.

We will discuss from “Why should I join Linkedin?” all the way to “What does leveraging a connection on Linkedin mean and how is it done?”

Bring your pencils and notepads this will be a write it down kinda interview, we promise!

Every week you have the opportunity of where you spend your time online and in creating your business network connections.

Are you working with a strategy so that you are staying focused and using your time wisely?

There are some pretty common questions that come up for all business owners, regardless of their industry.  You are not alone in feeling overwhelmed, heck this is not our default mode of communication.  It is a new skill which requires new training and mindset to carry it off successfully.  So take a deep breath then take a second and thoughtfully ask yourself the questions below and realize that there are answers when you know more about where you are stuck and need help.

You are invited to ask yourself and your colleagues, staff and friends the same questions.  The more everyone around you is going in the same direction then the more successful you ALL will be.  That is how you can support each other and if this economic climate has given us a gift it is to turn back into our local communities and start to ask how can we help each other.

Here is a quick test to see if you need assistance with your social media strategy

Do you feel there is not enough time in a day to do social Media

1. Do you feel you are behind the eight ball each week
2. Do you sit down at the computer and ask yourself, now what do I do first?
3. Do you wonder if your results what they should or could be?
4. When you log into Linkedin, Facebook or even Twitter if you feel on any level “this might be a waste of time”
5. Do you ever say to yourself, “I know I need to be here but heck if I know what to do”
6. Do you post a lot on Facebook and wonder if anyone is even reading it?

Now, if what you are wanting to achieve is to grow your business, direct more traffic either online or offline into your business and you want to be able to accomplish that without pulling your hair out then you will want to think about a couple of things.

• Do I have the manpower to implement social media?
• Do I have a social media policy for my business?
• Do I have social media guidelines so that each person knows what is the next step including you?
• Do I know how to handle it when someone talks badly about my business online?
• Are you on all the channels and monitoring your business online?
• Are you monitoring your competition online?

These are just a small percentage of questions that are staring you in the face this year.  You owe it to yourself and your business to either learn and create your own social media strategy, or hire someone to do it for you.  You do not want to be behind the eight ball like Motrin or Nestle trying to clean up a PR nightmare because you were not prepared.  Learn from bif businesses mistakes and you will position your business for success in this new business economy.

Can you see the patterns yet?

We are in a different economic climate.  Traditional Sales & Marketing have not worked for  while, that’s where a lot of decline in business originated from…dissatisfaction is not what you want your customers/clients to feel about your business.  Stop and think about one of your unsatisfactory experiences with a business this past year.  Now did they give you the same old “that’s our company policy” VS do something to correct issue?  Here is where you have  leverage to beat the big boys and grow your business.

Creating a strong and loyal online presence is critical to your business today.

Join us as J.D. and Michele talk about how to be gracefully creating these communities.  They will be focusing their energy on this show towards Linkedin.  Your questions about other social networks are welcome, email them to Michele thebreakthroughspeicalist@gmail.com and she will create a show to address your needs.

You keep hearing a lot of talk about “some guy”

who will help you get ranked on Goggle for your business.

• You have heard these guys tell you it is the secret to your business.
• You have seen folks successful at it, you have seen folks lose their shirt.
• I know it all sounds like a load of bull-hocky and a lot of them are full or cow patties.

 

Today we will talk with Brian Williams a business owner like you who’s experience has been with generating powerful online presence and eCommerce for major corporations.  This is not some slick fast talking internet marketing guy who tells you  lots of promises and does not deliver.  Again a business owner like you and me who his expertise is local internet marketing.

Here is what I know about Brian personally, he is an Eagle scout, proud father of three adorable children, devoted and in-love with his wife Rachel, grounded in values of a family man who wants to create business for other family owned businesses.  This is one of my Twitter stories you have heard me talk about on the show.  Brian and I met through another friend online and through serendipity we spent week together going to workshops and I stayed with him and his family.  You learn a lot about someone when you live with then let me tell you.  I would trust this man with my life and the life of my Mother.

Professionally Brian has accomplishments under his belt we would all love to wear proudly.  From inventing the lead generation for auto sales Toyota in 1994 to heading up Sales & Marketing for uBid and taking sales from inception to 500 Million a year -then-helping AsOnTV.com take its retailing online and doubling their revenue in 12 months-whew ok come listen to hear the rest-you are in good hands.

So like you go to an attorney when you need legal help or a CPA when you need tax help we will go to Brian for local internet marketing help.

Often times it is common to be asked for data to back up what we are talking about on the show and I love doing that…the internal researcher in me loves to be the hound online

Sharing with you data from the Kelsey Group which has done a in depth study on local advertising.  When you take time to study the profit margins of local advertising you can learn a lot about what is and is NOT working.  Let’s look at the data…

 

 

 

This is what we see…consumers are using search to do way more than research now.  They want solutions they can take action on-buying now.  With mobile technology in every one’s pocket and purse if you are not positioned online and using current technology to attract your customers you are losing dollars period.

 

 

 

 

 

Today’s customers want fast and quick answers.

It is imperative that you can respond to their needs in the same manner. ask yourself how can I deliver to their needs in their desired time frame?

 

Join us today as Brian and I talk about what are the challenges and opportunities for your business to know learn and implement so you can be using marketing locally that grows your business, instead of putting you out of business.

1. We will discuss what you want to ask so you are not being taken to the cleaners on creating a successful local marketing campaign.
2. We will discuss what is fair and reasonable so you can make an informed decision.
3. We will discuss what you want to ask so you can uncover the information you need to make the best decision for you and your business.

We had such an overwhelming response to when Brian came on for just a small segment a month ago we had to book him for an entire interview time as you wanted to hear and learn more.  If you show enough interest in learning more about how you can implement this in your marketing mix I am talking to Brian about becoming a regular on the show, like Mitchell From gives you Networking nuggets once a month, SO show some interest please via Twitter, email and participating in this FREE webinar Brian is offering so we can keep him coaching us every month.

Why is it in a ten year period from 100 businesses that started there will only be 29 left standing?

 

Robin Crow’s message he personally take on is to create leaders who will make a difference.  How can aspiring to a higher level help you and your business?

Robin is one of those entrepreneurs who doesn’t just talk business, he lives it and today he will be sharing with you some of his huge successes, his biggest flops and what he has discovered is the key to his own success.  When you take the time to learn from people who have lost and made their own success, there are many jewels in that journey to benefit you in yours.

When researching Robin (like I do all my guests I bring on for you) I discovered he is a Texan.  Born October 30, 1953 in Austin Texas (can you say YYYAAAAA HHHHOOOOO).  Oh come on y’all know I love being from Texas.

Are you asking yourself what can a recording artist turned author and speaker do to help me with my business?

Great question.  How many times have we everyday businesses forgotten that even in the music world if you are not at business you die.  So they need to be extremely talented and then that is not enough to assure their success.  So much for Be really good at what you do and you will succeed huh!

Robin’s passion is helping to raise awareness in how the implications of global issues affect the sustainability of our businesses.

His book Evolve or Die is a very thought provoking look at what are some of the causes of businesses crumbling.

• Have you ever asked how you can exceed the expectations of your customers?
• How can I be the example?

Here is a great story Robin shares on stage-”What are you really in the business of?”

Remember to Tweet LIVE during show using Hashtag #BBSradio tweet @prosperitygal then what ever you will say or ask about show with #BBSRadio so we can see you and you have opportunity to win FREE Copy of Robin’s book Evolve or Die AND an autographed copy of Robin’s CD.  Now Robin has also been generous to offer the first 200 people who purchase his book at a local bookstore like Barnes & Noble, Borders, etc… will receive also a autographed copy of his CD.  You will just email a scanned copy of your receipt to his assistant jeff@robincrow.com.  This is Robin’s way of supporting local jobs and our cities bookstores.

One of the most misunderstood platforms in Social Media is Twitter.

WHY do I say that?  Great question.  I get the most questions and confusion when I talk about Twitter with local business owners.  So, I have brought on the radio show someone who has been able to use Twitter in a very powerful way for their business.  I am talking about Frank Eliason with Comcast.

 

 

 

 

 

Comcast cares is a program that was started back in 2007.  Frank is the Digital Director Care in Comcast.  He vision and job is to be aggressive listeners online to customers who express their frustration online.

Are you already seeing the value in what Comcast is doing that you might duplicate in your business?

Comcast original online presence was not on Twitter.  They visited forums, blogs, personal sites and many other places that seemed foreign to many companies.  It was Scott Westerman their VP of the Southwest region suggested to Frank “have you ever checked out Twitter?  It would be a perfect place for you.”

Frank and his team at Comcast have been revolutionaries in social media to use Twitter in a way that many businesses have not used Twitter and frankly (no pun intended giggle) a LOT are afraid to use Twitter-complaints.

Frank and his team have done something that reminds  me of what a colleague has suggested to corporate clients who use social media…find a way to personalize who you are as well as brand yourself so it is clear who you speak for…Frank and his team have done that with their Twitter ID’s.

Frank’s Twitter ID is @ComcastCares.  Some of the rest of the Care team are @ComcastBonnie, @ComcastSteve, @ComcastBill, @ComcastSherri, @ComcastDete, @ComcastMelissa, @ComcastGeorge.

Frank and his team are open about what they have learned.  I can share my own story with you and how beneficial ComcastCares has been in uncovering opportunities for the local Houston office.

Frank has taken the simple statement “How can I help you” to a whole new level that you can learn from to benefit your business.

One thing that Comcast has done is create a blog (Comcast Voices) that allows you to learn more about the people at Comcast.  Why does that matter to you?  For the same reason it should matter to you that your customers can connect with you and your staff.  People want to know you CARE today.  As consumers, they are frankly sick and tired of being a commodity to the companies they do business with today.  Frank and his team at Comcast recognizes that and are a shining light in the business world showing you how you can do that for your business too.

We will discuss the highlights and the pitfalls of using Twitter for Customer Service in your business.
