Blake Fly has taken the pain out of sales and marketing and made it fun. The secret? Just being thankful and kind. Blake is the founder of "Thank University" and teaches entrepreneurs how to build their businesses (and not be weirded out by) delivering unexpected appreciation and gratitude. Here he joins The YES Effect Podcast with Shelli Varela to share how he started and grew his "Thank You" movement (what began as a holiday party), and some simple, everyday things you can do to be more top of mind for potential customers and collaborators, by simply being kind.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How Blake grew his own reach with daily social media posts
• How you can incorporate more fun into your business without sacrificing income and impact
• How you can get on almost anyone's attention - even out of thin air
• A story of how Blake generated a ton of work for himself simply by sending a video of a cereal box in a grocery aisle to a friend (true story - it's hilarious)
• Why every time you think about someone you should TELL them
• How Blake and his wife started his giant "Thank You" event by inviting some friends over to write thank you cards for each other
• The power of doing a "Future Interview" to visualize and materialize success
• Why we should consider making sales and marketing more wacky and weird (it works!)
• How he encouraged one of his Thank University members to finally finish a book…simply by making it all about his own dad.
