Podcast Episode 86: Here’s Exactly What Installing The Wrong Technology At My Company Did {And What My Must Use Tech Resources Are}

Outside of growing from a sole business owner to a team, there has been no bigger bottleneck, money waster and headache inducing troubles than bringing the wrong technology into my business…

Sometimes it’s been the right tech, but the wrong time. Sometimes it’s just paying for the most expensive software way too prematurely.

But most often, it was a problem in systems and hiring that I thought could be magically fixed by a new technology….

FYI, this normally just makes the current problems bigger than you knew they could ever be.

Technology should simplify things, not complicate them.

And here are my 4 biggest tips about technology decisions:

  1. Even the best technology cannot fix ineffective communication systems or the wrong hire.
  2. Beware the allure of innovation.
  3. Cut the cord and make the switch.
  4. The most important {and most inexpensive switches to technology} come with customer billing and team project management systems.

Listen into Episode 086 and you’ll learn:

  • Technology will not fix underlying staffing issues and new systems cannot fix ineffective communications
  • As a business owner, you have a bandwidth of responsibility – you should always be focused on revenue growth as a number one responsibility
  • Why your billing systems and your customer service systems need to talk with each other
  • Reporting is the lifeblood of you knowing where your business is going to go
  • What are the most effective converting checkout pages for online businesses
  • Here are the CRM systems I recommend…
  • What email providers have the most support?

Podcast Episode 85: A Low Cost Competitor is Killing Me…What Do I Do? {Part 2}

We’ve got part 2 of dealing with a low cost competitor here.

It takes something very different to be a competition killer – a lot of layers, a lot of systems, and a lot of strategy.

It’s completely possible for you to rule your market place no matter if you’re in the biggest city or the smallest town.

We’re discussing the marketing side of things to really crush the competition.

I spend an enormous amount of time and energy on marketing because I know that pulling the right clients through the door is the problem most of the time.

You have to make sure you have the packages, the education and sales systems to really bring them on long-term. But if you have those, all you have to do is draw the right people through the door.

My marketing program was vastly effective once I saw my first round of competition.

I could pretty much rely on most people walking through my door.

I was growing relatively fast  in the small community, but after 2 years, our normal walk-ins just sort of disappeared. They started going to the other person first because they were a whole lot cheaper.

It meant that my marketing message really needed to change.

However, I’m immensely grateful for that time because I learned how to build amazing opt-ins and content that would draw in my customers.

I’ve used these in each and every one of my businesses. Seriously.

And trust me you’ll want to get your hands on the $100K email because by now, it’s actually generated us well over a million dollars. Check underneath the Links to get your copy!

Listen into Episode 085 and you’ll learn:

  • The difference between yelling to the masses and whispering to your ideal client
  • How to design a luxury opt-in!
  • What is a nurtured email sequence (and how I execute it)?
