Brad is a serial entrepreneur, growth consultant, and investor. This fly-on-the-wall type conversation will give you a great look into the processes, ideas, and strategies that you can use for creative deal-making.

“The consulting helps feed potential deals and deals help fuel consulting. They work really well together. And the consulting fuels my entrepreneurial ADD!” Brad Costanzo

If you’re trying to launch your consulting career or add consulting to what you’re already doing, then you’re probably being asked for free advice all the time. Roland and Brad have a refreshing approach to this, and they share how to move into more serious client relationships.

Listen Today For What has gone well, and what has gone wrong in Brad’s recent creative deal-making.

“When I had my first real success with my magic trick site, it was really from just doing deals with all the people who had the customer list and assets that I wanted.” Brad Costanzo

Two different ways to respond when somebody wants to ‘pick your brain,’ and you’re not sure how to charge them for consulting!

How to get your first five clients.

What makes up an ideal client for Brad, and what makes up an ideal client for you?

The Imposter syndrome that pops up when moving into territories with big competitors - and how to respond.

"But I don't have to know everything if I can ACCESS those who do”. Brad Costanzo.

His super-effective, creative meditation exercise that is helping him become who he wants to be.

How to scale a consulting model…or can you?

“I have to remind myself that man, it’s not that the things that got you here, won’t get you there. It’s the things that got you to here, if you continue to do them, will keep you from getting to the next level.” Brad Costanzo

Have you taken a close look at the TouchPoints that make up YOUR Customer Experience?

Since customer experience is more critical in 2020 than product or price (See episode 190), then you might want to zoom in and examine where your customer is experiencing your brand.

In this short episode, Roland walks you through a master list that you can hand down to your team or dive into yourself (if you dare).

If you love this show and it helps you with your business(es), head over to our home page https://businesslunchpodcast.com/ (https://businesslunchpodcast.com/) and sign-up for our memos. This week we’ll be sending out expanded show notes from today’s episode.

Listen for an (almost) exhaustive list of, 1. Pre-Purchase TouchPoints Ads, Walk-by, Walk-in, Word of mouth, Print Ad, Radio, TV, Trade Show, Referral websites, Website, Blog, Newsletter, Flyer, Search engine, Email, Webinar, Podcasts, and Landing pages.

Then there’s all of your Social media, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, LinkedIn, et cetera.

Don’t forget user-generated content, including Testimonials that they might see, Messenger chats, User groups, Forums, Review sites, Retargeting campaigns, Comparison sites, Competitor sites, Online store, the Call centers, the Physical store, Amazon, Direct mail samples? Free trials, and (!) anything else you can think of!

2. Purchase TouchPoints. Listen to Roland’s list of touchpoints during checkout alone!

“My wife leaves over a billion tabs open on her browser—all on shopping carts. Several of them just disappear every so often. They’re not persistent. They don’t stay. And then she goes to buy it. And it’s gone, and she never goes back and buys again, and we hate them forever. Right?” Roland Frasier.

3. The Post Purchase TouchPoints “Most people drop the ball here. They don’t think about anything. They let whatever automated confirmation process happen. And then they forget about it because they’re too concerned with just delivering the thing that the person bought and getting the next person! But there’s so much more money to be had, and Goodwill to earn in the customer’s experience.” Roland Frasier

If you’d like a FULL list of touchpoints, with the Purchase and Post-Purchase ones’ included from this episode, sign up on our home page: https://businesslunchpodcast.com/ It would also really help us get the word out if you would subscribe and write a review on ApplePodcasts.

https://business-lunch.captivate.fm/epic (EPIC Training)

Are you setting up a Startup? Have you ever lost all your money or got an unfair share?

Have you ever wondered how to put a value on ‘sweat equity’?

Today we are pleased to share an interview with our host Roland Frasier and the author of The Slicing Pie Handbook, Mike Moyer. Mike is a serial entrepreneur who wrote this incredible book and blueprint for Fairness in business equity deals!

“Our share of winning should be based on our share of the bets”. Mike Moyer

If you love this show and it helps you with your business(es), head over to our home page https://businesslunchpodcast.com/ (https://businesslunchpodcast.com/) and sign-up for our memos. It would also really help us get the word out if you would subscribe and write a review on ApplePodcasts.

“It kind of revealed itself to me that you can’t base equity splits on future events because you can’t predict the future. When you try to do that, you get it wrong”. Mike Moyer.

Listen Today For The background that premised his closer look at Fairness in business, his subsequent expertise, and this super helpful framework.

“There aren’t multiple versions of Fairness, so I can’t change something and have it turn out fair. So like, if our dad gives us a cookie, the three of us, we’re going to split it a third, a third, a third, because we each paid equal amounts of nothing to get it. Okay? There’s no other way to do it. Now you could give me half or your share, but your generosity doesn’t make it "more fair". Right? And you should have decision-making rights over that third of the cookie.” Mike Moyer.

Plus, What’s a dynamic split?

“When you do equity splits on the outside of the venture, it’s comforting to know what you’re going to get. The problem is it’s always going to be the wrong number, right? But with a Dynamic split, you don’t know where you’re going to get, but you can rest assured that whatever you get, it’s going to be the right number. That’s a real difference”. Mike Moyer.

How to deal with capital and intellectual property, as opposed to effort and labor.

Why he doesn’t think stock options are a good idea.

“People think you throw stock options at someone, and it’ll make up for bad management, that it will miraculously turn people into great employees, but I haven’t seen evidence of that. I haven’t seen research to support that either. I have seen research support as good, clear communication, clear goals, milestones, and clear vision”. Mike Moyer

What to do when someone leaves or bails on a deal, but they want to be bought out.

“And this is one of the most heartbreaking things when somebody kind of poops out at the beginning of the deal and they’re often the only one who ever makes any money”. Mike Moyer.

The Most Common Mistakes In 'Fairness' 1) Equal Shares

2) Premature Evaluations

3) Time-based vesting

“Every time we contribute to a startup, and we’re not paid a fair market rate for that cost contribution, it’s essentially a bet”. Mike Moyer

“I invited John to help you with whatever’s holding you back. Like what’s in your brain, in your head that’s stopping you from finding deals, from talking to sellers, closing deals, making offers, whatever those things are”. Roland Frasier

We’ve had John Assaraf on the show before. He’s one of the leading mindset and behavior experts globally, helping entrepreneurs achieve even more than they think they can. He shared the story behind The Secret on Episode 66, and he shared the mindset you’d need to get through this Pandemic/Economic crisis on Episode 145. Both are excellent episodes.

But today, John keeps it ‘light but deep’ and shares an exercise that you can do wherever you are, that will help you combat the fear and stress that is hindering you, especially as it pertains to stepping forward to expand your business in these chaotic times.

“When we calm the circuits first, when we’re in a state of awareness and set the intention and follow through with one action step, now we’re rewiring our brain, now we’re more active, deductive, happier, more focused, et cetera”. John Assaraf

If you love this show and it helps you, head over to our home page https://businesslunchpodcast.com/ and sign-up for news and exclusive opportunities. It would also really help us get the word out if you would subscribe and write a review on ApplePodcasts.

Listen For, What’s happening right now neurologically in most of our brains due to the crazy times we’re in (2020)!

The kinds of fears that entrepreneurs automatically face beneath their level of Awareness.

“We have self-doubt. We feel uncertain. We may worry. We may have anxiety, and we may have fear. What kind of fear? Fear this may not work for me. Fear it’s not the right time. A fear I might fail, fear I might succeed and then fail. A fear I might be disappointed, embarrassed, ashamed, ridiculed, or judged.” John Assaraf

John’s “Innercise” that will help you ‘calm the circuits’.

The key to change.

“Awareness is what gives you a choice, and the choice is what gives you freedom. It’s not to react automatically based on your old paradigms, old beliefs, and habits. The key to all change is Awareness of the thoughts, emotions, feelings, sensations, behaviors in a state of no judgment, blame, shame, guilt, or justification”. John Assaraf.

How does someone who knows nothing about Marketing start a speaking business from a cold start and build it to a global events-based company? And then, how do they adapt their event-based model when the Pandemic hits, especially when they HATE webinars? That’s precisely what Kane and Alessi Minkus have done. Roland sits with Kane and asks all the right questions in this episode of Business Lunch so that you can glean his keys to success and apply them to your situation. “If you want to have a real leap…it’s really about the way you’re thinking. Start to track and think about your beliefs.” Kane Minkus If you want to hear more from Kane, check out their website. If you love this show and it helps you with your business(es), head over to our home page https://businesslunchpodcast.com/ and sign-up for our memos. It would also really help us get the word out if you would subscribe and write a review on ApplePodcasts. Listen Today For How they built their ‘empire’ from scratch.

How Kane made the leap from the USA to International.

His recommendation on taking your business global.

Why they look for VOLUME and need a big pool to support their non-conventional business model.

Why he’s no-longer ‘selling education’.

“We stopped selling education, and that actually was great. I think education is great, but it’s become oversaturated. It’s totally commoditized.” Kane Minkus. How he vets businesses as potential partners.

The Surprising Reason for his 30% profit margin.

Kane’s TOP 3 Keys To Acceleration: 1. Get obsessed with absolute world-class delivery. 2. Get obsessed with fine-tuning your processes. “I’m very like, you know, OCD about every little thing that goes on.” 3. Get brilliant people on your team or in your corner. “I really understood what it meant to have somebody that was an extraordinary thinker…how important it was to have world-class thinkers on your team”. Kane Minkus. Plus, How They’re Adapting To The Limitations Of The Pandemic • What he’s doing to keep things flowing now that he can’t do in-person events. “Actually as we’ve continued to test and refine, cause we’ve done about eight virtual summits now, we realized that actually, if we just take our offline summit, exactly what we were doing and we put it online exactly the same way that actually it works great.” Kane Minkus • How he overcame his hatred for the classic Webinar and simulated a more LIVE experience for his customers. “I basically built an environment for me that suits my ability to deliver my message and my education in a way that feels right for me.” Kane Minkus • Why they’re in no rush to go back to their prior model (of extreme traveling). “We are in zero rush to get back to live events… we’re going to get very invested in the virtual world. We don’t have a vested interest in going back live at the same volume that we were at all.” Kane Minkus. • His experimentation with pricing structures (and Roland’s suggestion to help him get back to the same ticket prices). “I’ve always had this belief that there are people in the room that get the value of what you’re doing, they get it, whatever it is, and then there’s those that don’t. So, if you price it to try to hit the middle, then you miss where the real value is.” Kane Minkus Kane’s Advice To You Number 1: “Stop looking for tactics and start looking at the whole system of how you’re thinking and what you’re doing and question everything. It’s hard to do totally by yourself, but it’s a start”. Kane Minkus Number 2: Get around people that challenge you. ”One of the first lessons that I got from my coaches in my twenties was, find successful people that believe things differently than you, and then align yourself with their beliefs”. Kane Minkus Number 3: Use your community more. “The people that are most highly successful, they’re not islands. A lot of business owners and entrepreneurs have the ‘hero syndrome’ where they think they’re...

What’s More Important To The Consumer in 2020 Than The Product Or The Price?

“Customer experience is of ever-increasing importance as products become more the same.” Roland Frasier

As we’ve come to expect, Roland Frasier brings HIGH-value today if you’re trying to scale your business. Roland makes a case in this short episode for you to focus on Customer Experience as a top priority. This will not only strengthen your top line, but it will also do the right thing by your customers who are looking to spend in the most worthy places.

Listen in today if you want to,

1. Double your revenue.

2. Command premium prices.

3. Win the customer.

“The brand is the promise. And the customer experience is the delivery of the promise. 1 in 3 will leave a brand that they love, from one poor customer experience.” Roland Frasier

Listen For, • The study said by 2020, Customer Experience will be more important to the Consumer than product or price.

“86% of buyers are willing to pay 13 to 18% more for a great customer experience…Design a great customer experience, and you can boost your prices”. Roland Frasier

• A shining example of Customer Experience winning over the competition, despite the product not being as advanced.

• The impact of investing in Customer Experience (and what you can expect).

“Get a 2X on your revenue without doing anything except making the experience better. That’s pretty significant.” Roland Frasier

Listen Today For, The casual idea and $2300 investment that turned into a roaring success.

Why he wouldn’t do it that way again!

“I think about all the ways that it should have and would have failed. Only that, you know, I just had that determination that ‘we can’t fail’. If we fail, we’re just screwed. I would never advise anyone to do that - come straight out of the gate like that”. Glen Ledwell

How he mentors people to launch today.

The frustrations and breakthroughs in scaling to the next level.

“We didn’t know how easy we had it. In our second year, we did $3 million, and our third year was $6 million. I mean, this was more money than I could even fathom. And then honestly, it was just doing a couple of launches a year. We stayed that at that $5-6 million mark and now that I look back, it was pretty easy. Right. But thank God we actually got better and better and better, because we wouldn’t have stayed there.” Glen Ledwell.

• The perfect storm that wiped out their profit margin.

• The troubleshooting and determination that helped them recover and led to their best year ever (last year).

“I made it my mission to get Facebook to work, no matter what. I mean, thank goodness. Right? But then what happens? Well, then you’re relying on Facebook. That’s worse!” Glen Ledwell

Plus, When The Pandemic Shut Things Down • How the Pandemic Shut Down effected his thriving business.

“In all the different businesses you’ve been in, stuff like this has happened. And it always is followed by an up-turn. I mean, we’re in a business that helps people online. So, I mean, it’s, it’s kind of a no brainer that we were going to be okay.” Glen Ledwell

• The significant changes they made (and what didn’t work).

“It was more like, from a visual perspective, no more videos or Ads from flashy studios, they’re at home. And every email started with, “In this time we’re in…” because you know what’s in their head. I felt if you didn’t do that. It was just so in-congruent”. Glen Ledwell.

• The offer that ‘just killed it’ (in a good way).

• Why he’s never been more grateful to be in the business he’s in.

In her conversation with Roland Today, Jill Sidoti talks about how she helps entrepreneurs figure out how to raise capital legally. If you need to raise money for your business, then this episode will be a great start to help you understand which direction you need to head in, so that you can stay legal, stay out of prison, and get the money you need.

“I think it’s really important that we allow mom and pop investors, to invest in new entrepreneurial endeavors so that they’re not just available for the venture capital angel investors. But there has to be proper disclosure to those investors. Those investors have to be treated properly within the law”. Jill Sidoti

Jillian Sidoti is an attorney, speaker, entrepreneur, mama, and former college professor. Forever focused on finding the best and least challenging path for entrepreneurs to find funding for their deals. Jillian has written equity and debt offerings for all kinds of industries, including real estate, biotech, film, software, alcoholic beverage, cannabis, and green tech. She also has a book which you can get here.

“You can pay me like a little now, or you can pay me a lot later, to help you get out of trouble with the S.E.C. And there’s no guarantee I’m going to be able to get you out of trouble”. Jill Sidoti.

Listen Today For, What is ‘Regulation A’?

“Regulation A is one of the new crowdfunding laws that allow companies to raise up to $50 million, and raise money from anybody”.

Why you want to go after people in your current network before you go out anywhere else.

“The money we know is that is way better than money the money we don’t know”. Jill Sidoni.

The difference between Regulation A and Regulation D, and how that affects you if you’re trying to raise money from private investors.

Why a company might work under Regulation A when it costs more money and takes more time.

“Normally, if somebody comes to me and says, Hey, I want to do a Regulation A offering, then I kind of put them through the wringer first to see if they a critical mass in some way, shape or form. Or do you have something so novel that you marketing the opportunity it’s definitely going get your money through the door.”

• Why you need the Marketing element and the legal element to raise money.

“If you have the legal element, that’s great, but it doesn’t do any good if you don’t have the marketing element. And if you have the marketing element but you don’t have the legal element. I mean, you risk going to prison”. Jill Sidoti

You may find that like most entrepreneurs, you’re getting stuck in the weeds of your business instead of taking a big step back and thinking about strategy.

In today's episode, Roland shares the things that he and his partners do to grow their 26 businesses. This episode will give you a slew of ideas to help you find your next growth (and end-game) strategy, no matter which stage of the business lifecycle.

“Just so you know, this stuff only works among every business you can imagine”. Roland Frasier.

The 4’ Growth Stages’ Of Business The Business Life Cycle. Take a listen as Roland explains the first four of six stages, what they focus on in each, and the strategies they implement that you can also use.

1. Start-Up

2. Traction

3. Constraints

4. Growth

Three Major Concepts To Focus On In These Growth Phases Building Revenues

Building Profits

Building Value.

What does your business need?

Plus, Listen For, • Why Roland and his partner ALWAYS build their businesses with an Exit in mind.

“We’re always thinking about how we will ultimately exit the business because 98% of businesses don’t pass through multi-generation. So the best thing you can do is build it up to a lot of value and then sell it and then do it again.”. Roland Frasier

• The easiest way to get a whole bunch of new customers.

“Buy your competitor. And I’ll talk about how you can do that without paying anything for it. By your suppliers, buy your clients, buy out your partners, take cost centers, and turn them into profit centers.” Roland Frasier

• A trap many E-Commerce companies find themselves in, and how to get out and beat competitors.

“It’s hard to grow an E-comm business because you sell the stuff you’ve got, and then you need to buy more media, and then you need to buy more of the stuff that you had before. But now you need more, because you’re buying more media, and you need more people to fulfill it. Right? So until you sell that business, it’s tough to take any significant money out of it! But, if you add a digital product to that, what’s the margin on a digital product? It’s 100%. So if you can add some digital products to the physical products you’ve got, that’s a fantastic way for you to fight margin compression.” Roland Frasier

And so much more!
