The Bacon Podcast with Brian Basilico | CURE Your Sales & Marketing with Ideas That Make It SIZZLE!

Kristen Joy decided she was “unemployable” at the tender age of six when she started her first business making and selling pet rocks. She’s never been able to “hold down a real job…” ever. A serial entrepreneur, in 2003 she turned her life-long love of reading and writing into a full-time career she LOVES, teaching authors and entrepreneurs how to create books that bring them business and turning authors into successful authorpreneurs.

After discovering how to thrive through chronic illness, Kristen went on to write and publish 18 Kindle books in 18 weeks, start over 50 publishing companies for others, publish over 200 books and e-books, teach hundreds of webinars, coach thousands of authors from idea to published, build a livelihood from negative $300-a-month to a multi six-figure business, study martial arts, get her conceal-carry license and eat way too much chocolate.

She currently changes lives through her students… one published message at a time, encourages authors through free articles and videos at TheBookNinja.com, teaches a ton of courses and still studies martial arts, working toward her black belt in MMA karate… while maintaining a healthy daily dose of chocolate.

Besides on her website, she can be found online at her second home in Facebookl and and occasionally aimlessly roaming the Star Wars and pet supply aisles with her fiance at Target hunting down toys for themselves and their cat.

You hopefully know by now, that creating content is a benefit to your business. What if you started to shift your thinking and started thinking one or two steps ahead, and started to create assets. A blog could turn into a book or ebook. A podcast can be transcribed and converted into a lead magnet, ebook, or something more. When you start to create content with a purpose, you shift the way you create content.

In this episode, I talk about how my book "The Bacon System" was built upon repurposing content into assets. That is what the whole Bacon System is all about, and I will give you some insights on how I have made it work for me. Learn how it can help you grow your business!

Have you ever played the playground game Funnel Ball? That is where you throw the ball into a basket or funnel, and the ball comes out a chute worth 2, 4, 6, 8, or whatever points. There are no real rules. You can count up or count down. Winners have to get to 11, 21 points, or whichever points the players choose. You can simply add up the points based on your ball color, or make it where you have to catch the ball to get the points.

That's the way I think about sales & marketing funnels. They really have no rules, but there is an end goal to win (a sale or sales). In this episode, we will explore different funnel philosophies, and how marketing and sales funnels work best as a series of systems. More importantly, how to focus your energies to make the most of your sales and marketing processes.

Stuart holds an MBA and an MSc in Organizational Psychology. After selling his stake in his previous training company that generated in excess of $15 million in revenues annually, he now does organizational consultancy for SMBs, the government of Singapore and MNCs in leadership, teams and relationship management. Armed with 23 years of experience on the stage having spoken to over 500,000 people internationally, he believes that selling is quite often overdone, and can lead to long-term loss in relationships; the fastest way to growth is in knowing how to harvest seeds that were planted over a long and consistent period of time, which enhances credibility, branding, and positive business results.
