Growth Mode

LinkedIn is becoming a business social platform

Getting introduced to somebody and networking are the most significant ways to grow any sort of business. LinkedIn has turned the corner to become your business social networking tool thanks to the times combined with the pandemic. LinkedIn has become the needed badass online cocktail party to meet people. 

Most people are screwing up, is they're doing traditional crap based social media or old-school sales tactics and thinking they're going to work on LinkedIn. 

The first thing you need to think about is that you need to treat it like a cocktail party. You need to treat it as a tool that allows you to meet other people. Here’s an easy rule of thumb, if you wouldn’t want somebody to do it to you, don’t do it to somebody else.

Success Champions Networking

If you want to grow and scale your business you need to be getting into great conversations with other business owners that can help you take your business to the next level. Joining an online business peer group like Success Champions provides access to a select pool of successful business people from around the world, each having a well-established network who trust them, who want to introduce you to people that can help you build the business of your dreams. So once you get to know your fellow members and they’ve gotten to know you along with your services and ethics, the conversations you get into will multiply!

We have a Facebook group called Success Champion. There are three questions you answer to become a part of that group. Question number one is, how did you hear about the group? Question number two is, what is your email, so we can send you some fun stuff. And then the third question is, what's the biggest thing holding you back in life and business? The number one response is time. 

People always think they don’t have enough time to get things done. It exhausts me to no end. Why? Because nobody in this work has a time management problem, they have a prioritization problem.

When working with sales teams doing training, I see a significant issue that salespeople go through this whole pitch. Then they never asked or tried to close the deal.

I used to work for a training organization that heavily focused on sales. When it came to selling, their philosophy was you don't have to ask for the close you go until they give up.

To me, that just sounds exhausting. Why would you go to such an extreme where somebody says, alright, I’ll say yes just to shut you up? That’s such a transactional move. It’s not going to last long for most people in their sales style.

What I want to focus on mainly is how do you get to that moment where two people can mutually agree that it’s a good step to move forward together and do something.

I'm not a big ask for the sale kind of person.

I think most people have a friendly, cordial, picnic-style conversation, and both parties don't understand that there needs to be closure at the end of this conversation.

Sales, for me, by philosophy, is a conversation with an outcome, which means you get to some sort of closure. Notice I didn't say closing because closing stops the flow. I'm all about starting relationships.

Throughout the lifetime of a business, an entrepreneur must wear lots of different hats. How do you effectively switch those hats? How do you keep on top of everything and maintain business momentum?

My story, as you know, I spent 20 years being a sales guy. Then I decided to launch a business. 

Going from employee to business owner is such a massive mental leap. There is a lot to learn. 

For most people, when they first start, the answer to the question of how do you switch hats is poorly. The answer is poorly, on my end, because I thought the CEO was behind the scenes. 

I learned very quickly; I had to be the guy in front and the CEO making everything work behind the scenes.

I thought I knew what it meant to be a business owner. I was clueless!

There are three things no one tells you about being an entrepreneur

1. There’s no such thing as an 8 - 5 business. It’s not a thing
2. There’s no such thing as work/life balance. You’re never going to stop thinking about the business.
3. You realize how many of your friends and family have never run a business or been business owners because they’re going to freak out when you jump in the game.

Another thing to realize, being self-employed does not make you an entrepreneur. If you are the only person in your company, you have a job, not a business. And if it’s not a duplicatable task, again, it’s a job, not a business.

Salespeople are their own worst enemy when it comes to mindset. They spend too much time in their head thinking about how things won't work versus focusing on what will.

A sales mindset must focus on growth to win.

In How to have the right mindset you will learn how to set yourself up for success.

Welcome to Growth

I bring on the people that have been through it, gone through it, done it built monstrous companies. And I get them to coach me on how to actually level up, grow and scale my business. They're hitting me with some hard questions. They're bringing some amazing vice and I'm telling you, I take notes from every one of these episodes, from these people that have actually lived it, they've gone through it. And have turned their businesses into, amazing empires.

There's a big difference between showing up authentically being yourself and being a straight-up jerk.

If you follow me, you know that I cuss like a sailor. I show up as my authentic self in my ball caps and t-shirts.

However, I learned long ago; there's a time and place. I have a couple of hard, fast rules that I always keep in business. If my grandmother were alive today and walked in this room, she'd get my utmost respect.

I had a client for the longest time that used the phrase regularly; I am unapologetically myself. Well, good for you. As you run your business straight into the ground. The simple fact is you're going to push your agenda without respecting theirs

You have to respect the event and where you're at and understand what's going on around you.

Let’s talk about networking. In the world today, more and more networking is done on Zoom through virtual coffees. And I’m putting this out there; 99% of people are doing them wrong.

And here is why - they go into it expecting to sell something. Yes, every virtual coffee is a sales call (unless already in my network), but I don’t expect to sell a thing.

The point of a virtual call, the brilliance behind doing it, is to get to know that person you're sitting across from so damn well that you could introduce them to your best clients, right? 

And they should be respecting your time to do the same thing.
