(Previously The Client Catching Podcast) The B2B Growth Think Tank is hosted by Adam King "The Captain" of London based Growth Consultancy Think Like a Fish. The mission of the podcast is pretty simple.. To uncover answers to the BIG QUESTION every B2B business leader needs to ask… “With so many things needing improvement in my business, where should I focus my efforts to get maximum growth in the shortest possible time?” No hype. No false promises. Just real strategies that work! Join Adam each week as he and his expert guests discuss growth strategies, ideas and insights. BUT it's a little different to other "interview" shows too... Each week Adam and his guests help another business owner on "The Virtual Hotseat”, by masterminding actionable solutions to a specific challenge they're currently trying to solve in their business. And you too can have your challenge featured on the show! Send in your challenge to thinktank@thinklikeafish.co.uk answering the question... "What challenge are you facing in your business that, if you could solve it in the next 90 days, would have a huge impact on your growth?" And I'll look forward to collaborating to help you fix it on the show!

    Why Most Strategic Alliances Are Doomed From The Start (And What To Do Instead)

    In part 6 of my mini series on Strategic Alliances, I'm going to show you how to avoid the mistakes most make when setting up Strategic Alliances and at the end show you a bunch of examples of how to avoid them.  Because the truth is most potential strategic partnerships are doomed from the start.  I don't mean to be negative, but it's true.  Just think how many people you've had a “coffee date” with after meeting them at a networking event where you both agree it makes sense to refer business each other's way.  How many referrals and leads came from this? I'm going to guess at not many.  Maybe you got a few, but nowhere near the level of benefit and growth potential that there could have been for both of you.  This happens because neither side took the initiative to make partnering an attractive proposition. One that's easy to say yes to and has clear benefits and expectations for both parties.  Simply reaching out and asking if they know anyone they could refer you to isn't going to work very well...  You need to get a little more creative than this if you're going to get engagement and buy in from any potential partner.  Armed with this knowledge, and the strategic foresight to understand the HUGE upside to partnerships, it's not the wisest decision to leave things up to chance.  YOU have to be the leader here. The key to getting someone interested in partnering with you, is to present it as an opportunity that gets THEM excited about partnering with you by offering specific ideas for how you can support each other.  These individual ideas eventually combine to form your Strategic Alliance Programme. This Is How You'll Stand Out  Don't do what most people who try (and fail) to build a Strategic Alliance Programme by making the other person do the work or try to figure things out. People are too busy for that when they don't know you.  So come up with ideas that are easy for them to say yes to. And if you want some to start you off, listen to the episode! Because when these partnerships develop, inbound referrals and leads become more consistent and opportunities close faster. When you take a well structured and strategic approach to partnering, you go from being a nice idea your partners “might” get around to helping some day, to an irresistible “Business Growth Partner” they can't stop raving about.

    How To Find Your Perfect Strategic Alliance Partners

    In part 5 of my mini series on Strategic Alliances, I'm going to show you a simple way to make a list of your perfect Strategic Alliance partners, and give you a few real life examples at the end to help you visualise doing this for yourself. The first step is to define the types of partners you would like to have in your “crew”. You're going to want to create an initial list of 20-30 non-competing business types. These are your potential partners and referral sources.  Think about the types of non-competing businesses that sell or provide services or products to your ideal clients, either before they need your service, instead of your services or after they have used your services. What do they do? What services do they offer? A Few Examples Let's say you're a mortgage broker specialising in first time mortgages. It doesn't make sense to pair up with another mortgage broker, but it makes a lot of sense to look for successful estate agents who might be willing to partner with you to share clients. Any first time buyers that enquire, or they help to have an offer accepted are going to need help with mortgages. But as you're a mortgage broker who specialises in first time buyers, you're not going to be a competitor to another broker who specializes in, say, mortgages for self employed contractors. So you could partner with those too, even though you may at first glance consider yourself in competition with each other.  Another example is if you are a Financial Advisor you could look to partner with an Accountant or Divorce Solicitor. They are in a prime position to know when their clients need an advisor, and you are in an ideal position to know when your clients may need their services. Or if you sell to small businesses, then you could develop partnerships with other businesses that work with small business owners. Think banks, accountants, insurance brokers, solicitors, printers, graphic designers, web designers, software companies, IT consultants, leadership trainers, HR trainers, sales trainers…  Hopefully you're starting to see the size of the opportunity with this!

    In part 3 of my mini series on Strategic Alliances, I'm going to show you how Strategic Alliances can boost your client generation and profits very quickly. But first, what I'd like to really encourage you to do from now on, is to really think about the concept of access as an asset.  In the case of Strategic Alliances, you're getting access to other people's network, audience, client base, knowledge, connections, etc. which in turn becomes an asset for your business.  Access Is Also An Accelerant Access for you, to your partners audience and network, is an accelerant for your business. It speeds up how you get in front of your ideal clients. It cuts the time you need to spend building trust with prospects, as your recommendations and endorsements come with that already implied and built in. Can you see when you get this, how you can attract clients to your business, and potentially earn revenue in a way that you've never had before? It Works BOTH Ways The real benefit of Alliances though is that access isn't just an asset and an accelerant for you, but also an asset and accelerant for others that you can help. Both for your partners, your clients, their clients, their friends, their families. Once you increase your access, you can then use this to provide others access to things they didn't have before. Which accelerates your reach and exposure to their network, and further increases your access. And so it goes on… The network effect here is exponential, and offers huge benefits to everyone in it.  Mentioned On This Episode Grab Your Free Revenue Multiplier Calculator Connect with Adam on LinkedIn Get My Free Book Conversational Relationship Marketing Get More Free Business Growth Resources on The B2B Growth Think Tank Listener Gift Page

It's quite simple really… By helping them grow theirs too! In simple terms, this means creating relationships with specific people and businesses that sell to the same buyers you do, but offer a different solution.  You don't compete with each other, you complement each other.  Mentioned On This Episode Grab Your Free Revenue Multiplier Calculator Connect with Adam on LinkedIn Get My Free Book Conversational Relationship Marketing Get More Free Business Growth Resources on The B2B Growth Think Tank Listener Gift Page

    Joining me today to talk business growth and help out a fellow business leader on The Virtual Hotseat is Zafer Karaca. Like many of us, Zafer had a very negative view of salespeople. He was an engineer by trade. But then something happened... He became a salesman.  That was 10+ years ago, and since then he has been very successful in several sales positions, including executive and senior management roles in IBM. All without having to become the “stereotype” he held around the profession.  Today at IBM he's Vice President of Cloud & Red Hat Synergy in the Americas, currently leading some of IBM's key growth initiatives across the United States for Global Markets in industries such as Financials Services, Distribution, Communications, Industrial and the Public sector.  You're not only going to get some fascinating insights inside the workings of a multinational organisation like IBM, but you'll also see that no matter how big the company, sales are made by people, for people.

Not only that, but he has been recognized by LinkedIn as one of the ‘World's Top 150 Business Influencers', and is one of the small number of ‘Official LinkedIn Influencers' with 289,444 followers. His management consultancy Beyond Philosophy LLC, has been selected by The Financial Times as one of the best management consultancies for the last three years in a row, and on top of helping his clients grow by helping them focus on finding value and identifying hidden, unmet customer needs that are PROVEN to drive revenue, he is also the co-host of the highly successful Intuitive Customer podcast. And I must admit from a purely selfish perspective, because he's taken my own world view of “thinking like the fish, not the fisherman” to a whole different level, I got seriously excited at the prospect of “geeking out” a little on exactly why Customer Experience is one of the highest leverage growth strategies out there, and how you can apply it.

    Joining me today to talk business growth and help out a fellow business leader on The Virtual Hotseat is Marcus Cauchi. Marcus has worked in over 500 segments of the market across 23 vertical markets helping his clients generate over £6.5bn in additional sales. Yes, you read that right, I said BILLION with a B! With over 30 years experience in sales, Marcus believes that selling is a service profession, not a self-service profession. Unfortunately he's found not everyone sees it this way... Which is why he's a man on a mission to clean up sales because of where the practice has been driven by the unscrupulous and incompetent. He's furious that the financial cart is being put before the customer success horse. He's livid that salespeople are being trained, encouraged and incentivised to lie, manipulate, and mis-sell by managers and leaders who make the customer pay a heavy price for their greed, lack of competence and soulless immorality. Part of this mission is the community - Sales: A Force For Good, where he's looking for 8 tech companies in the £10-50m revenue range who want to grow to £1bn in revenues by building a good highly profitable business, built on strong fundamentals, with highly engaged employees and customers for life without ever selling out to greed, self interest or bad investors. So buckle up, you're in for a bumpy but exciting ride on this episode!

    Running a business is no walk in the park. It's a dream for many, and when you finally take the plunge you face all manner of new challenges everyday. There's plenty out there about these kinds of things. Yet there aren't many people talking about the other “dark side” (Star Wars nerd…) of running a business… actually having success and achieving that “dream”. See, success isn't always all unicorns and rainbows. Every new level of success brings a new level of problems. As now you have to deliver. Not just for your clients, but for your team, your family and yourself. And that's a heavy burden to face, especially when you feel like you have to bottle up the stress and pressure that comes with it. So here's the reality about the “dark side” of success... The level of thinking, actions and brainpower that got you to the point you're at today, isn't going to get you to the point you want to be at tomorrow. That's why if you want to grow your company, it is YOU that needs to EVOLVE first. Which is exactly what my guest Byron Morrison is an expert in helping you do.  Byron is the author of The Effective CEO, speaker and mindset and high performance coach who helps CEO's Evolve so that they can handle the shadow side of success, by upgrading their brain power so that they can handle this new level of pressure, without crumbling or losing their composure.

    Negotiation is something we all have to both accept, and get better at. If you're like most people, when you think about negotiation, you picture people talking to “the other side.” Whether you're pitching to a client, negotiating a contract, or arguing over how much chocolate pudding is enough at dinner time, negotiators are people trying to persuade other people of their point of view. But that's only half the story. And it's why today I've invited a guest who is an expert in negotiation, and why persuading others is just part of what it takes to be successful. Alistair McBride has started numerous small businesses, and today is a coach, facilitator and trainer who is also a regular guest lecturer at multiple universities in Ireland on topics such as Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation.
