Most businesses will tell you that a majority of their new customers come by way of referral, but few have a systematic way of getting those referrals. They simply either happen or they don't, and businesses treat it as something that is outside their control.
My guest for Episode 269 of the podcast, Steve Gordon, takes a different approach. Steve Gordon is the author of Unstoppable Referrals: 10x Referrals, Half the Effort, and his latest book, The Exponential Network Strategy. He’s the host of The Unstoppable CEO™ Podcast and has written over 400 articles on marketing for service businesses. Through his firm, he helps service business entrepreneurs create leveraged marketing systems so they can spend less time on business development, and more time on what
matters most.

With Google Local Services Ads (formerly Google Home Services) now available in most of the U.S., I thought it was high time I dedicated an entire episode to explaining them.

Having good business systems is very important to delivering consistent results to your customers over a long period of time, but most small businesses are not very good at developing these systems. In this episode of my podcast, I interview Brandon Vaughn, the CEO of Automate Grow Sell, about a very simple process for creating business systems that he teaches his clients. We also discuss the four departments that every small business must have, and go over how to attract and retain good employees even in a hot economy when jobs are easy to come by.
Recently, my sister and brother-in-law visited my wife and I in southwest Virginia. During their visit, we took them on a self-guided wine tasting tour where we visited three different wineries in the area. At the first two, the four of us spent an average of $50 per person on the wine tastings, bottles of wine, and food. At the third winery, we only spent $5 each on the wine tasting. In this episode, I talk about the things that the last winery did and didn't do that caused us to spend so little money there, in the hopes that you won't make the same mistakes in your marketing.
