    IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL DISCOVER:

    If you've ever wanted to know the story behind the most dominant athlete of our times, Tom Brady, here it is... 

    If you've ever wanted a sneak peek into the 𝐓𝐁𝟏𝟐 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝 that's responsible for a 43 year old still playing professional football (at a very high level) and going to a his tenth Super Bowl in 21 years, here it is...

    Whether you are a sports fan or not, much can be learned from the infamous 𝐓𝐁𝟏𝟐 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝 and how it's been strategically converted into a massive training Business and recognized Brand over the past couple years. If you're a business owner, this will be a giant lesson on how to formalize your business methods and systems. 

    Of course, in typical Tom Brady fashion, this goes against the grain, is completely contrarian, and is the exact opposite of what just about everyone else is doing -- an even bigger lesson!

    Here’s a glimpse inside Episode 12:

    • The backstory of the legend, Tom Brady and the powerful TB12 Method he’s created to dramatically improve his performance and longevity - still going at 43 years old! 

    • How Tom Brady and his TB12 team identified a huge need in the marketplace and now make their method available to the public -- great lesson here!

    • How to take a process/system/method in your business, formulize it, and turn it into a phenomenon in your industry -- we’ll show you the path!

    • Why prospects are always looking for Leadership, Specificity and a System when they buy from you.

    • The commonality you will notice in many successful businesses is that they have a back story about a problem they experienced or identified, along with a method they used for overcoming it. This is a big secret to success.

    • How to formulate and formalize your own methods to stand out and differentiate yourself in your industry.

    • How a physical “brick and mortar” element of a business combined with a digital element gives you a multiplication effect, as now seen in the TB12 brand. Ex: Think Apple stores.

    • How to flip the switch and present your method to your prospects before the solution… because the method will sell the solution itself. 

    • The more visible your methods are, the more they are trusted. And trust is key in selling. Social Media, podcasts, webinars, free reports, etc. are some of the ways to gain extreme visibility -- We broke these methods down in detail!

    • Why you should NOT be intimidated by the fact that this is a celebrity brand. The business principle here to attract more, better leads and customers is the exact same.

    IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL DISCOVER:

    • A fascinating story about the rebranding of Pier 1 and how you can swipe their strategy and make a fortune! 

    • The simplest breakdown between Branding and Marketing is that, Branding is your “Why” and Marketing is your “What”.

    • A brand is a set of expectations, memories, stories and relationships, taken together that account for a consumer's decision to choose one product or service over another. 

    • Branding is everything if you want to create something long term, that has a value to it. For selling, returning customers, recurring revenue and longevity, branding is the key. 

    • Your brand is what people feel when they interact with you and your product. However, there is a right way and a wrong way to do this. 

    • Being omni-present and giving the best customer service is what marketing is about. 

    • Why the branding of your website, brochure, social media and email marketing should be congruent and consistent throughout. Lack of congruence in your branding equals lack of trust. 

    • Why your goal should not be to sell to everyone; but to sell to those who believe in what you believe -- a powerful brand archives this.

    • As a small business owner, you’ll gain a huge edge by personalizing and humanizing you and your brand -- people buy from people they know, like and trust.

    IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL DISCOVER:

    • The 2x3 Selling Method: How to double your sales in three steps!

    • Why it’s always a good idea to do an “Audit” of your Sales process, even if it is performing well!

    • First, you need to be clear about your audience’s problem. After you have highlighted and emotionalized the problem, then give them the solution. If you jump to giving out the solution right away, it creates selling resistance 

    • People buy for two reasons: To elicit joy or to reduce pain. When marketing or developing a Sales Process, one should aim to evoke these emotional responses

    • How we tend to drive our marketing messages into an academic and logical process versus an emotional process, until we master the art of persuasion, selling and salesmanship

    • There are two types of people you are marketing to: One knows the problem exists and you need to give them the solution; The other doesn’t even know there’s a problem, so you have to educate them first, highlight the issue, before you give them the solution

    • Why you need to make you audience feel like you are talking directly to them by asking the right questions

    • If you mindfully connect with your audience and unwind their psychology, you will gain credibility and attract people who believe in what you believe. 

    And much more!
