In this episode, I interview Ralph Golson, a 20 plus year veteran in the Merchant Processing industry. He gives us some insight into new laws, and programs that can help you to stop paying those deaded credit card processing fees and keep that money for yourself!

Why keep giving your money to the banks and keep more of your money that you can use for your business or personal uses. He has some companies saving hundred to thousands EVERY MONTH. What could that do for you?

Great insight and ideas from my friend Ralph.

You may have thought about starting your own podcast, but you were not able to figure out what it should be about or what equipment you would need or what you would talk about or how to use it to get new customers. I hear you; I had those same questions and doubts before I started my podcast.

The Rock Your Business Podcast has been one of the best lead generators I’ve ever done for my business. I know I was skeptical at first but then things just started happening...More interviews, more leads, great responses and the best way to open doors to hard-to-reach people, I've ever seen!

Here are three ways it's gotten me new customers and how maybe starting your own podcast can do the same for you.

Learning best practices from your peers is a phenomenal way to help you get from point A to point B much faster. It will cut down on the time, cost, and frustration for you to reach your goals. The value in hearing other people’s failures also tells you what NOT to do.

People love roundtables. Your ideal customers may already be plugging into peer roundtables based on their industry or personal goal. This is a huge opportunity for you to:

•Provide a forum for your ideal customers to gather 

•Showcase your knowledge and support

•Gain trust in their industry as a thought leader

•Get more of your ideal customers

I love brainstorming and helping Entrepreneurs. I have run roundtables and mastermind groups for over a decade. It’s incredibly enjoyable, fulfilling and VERY profitable. I have gained many longtime customers, incredible friends and experts that I can call when I have questions. 

Absolutely amazing.

You can create a free roundtable open to everyone once a month or a fee-based group that is limited to members and approved guests. I prefer the fee-based group for sometimes FREE can equal “no value” in the minds of some people.

Whichever you are comfortable with, just get started. It’s extremely rewarding in many ways.

Out of the vast companies we have worked with over 20 years, I would estimate that only about 10% or less of them were adequately marketing to and creating more referrals and sales from their existing customer list.

The easiest sales (and referrals) you will ever get are from the people that already trust and love you. 

People get fixated on only creating new customers. Yes, you need to have a pipeline full of new prospects, but we have helped many people multiply their sales with strategies to pull more sales and referrals out of their current lists.

Tapping into the goldmine that is the people that already know and trust you can create HUGE revenue spikes without a mountain of expense, resources, or time

In part 1 of this 4 part series, we discuss Linkedin. 

If you’re like many people, LinkedIn is a vast unknown place that you know you should be visiting more often, but you don’t really know how, when or where. You have a profile set up, maybe even a company page, but you’re not tapping into the goldmine that is LinkedIn.

LinkedIn has 670 million users, 63 million of which are decision-makers you’d LOVE to talk to (and sell to). It’s all levels of Entrepreneurs and business professionals from every industry on the planet all congregated into one platform…that’s a huge opportunity to tap, if done correctly.
