Stay tuned to the end of the interview where I'll give you some actionable insights that I learned from my guest. These insights are also in the show notes. As always, thanks for listening. Now on to my guest for today, Tyler Robertson, founder and CEO of Diesel Laptops, a company that provides truck owners with the tools to more efficiently diagnose and repair their own vehicles as an alternative to going to the dealer. Tyler grew up in the upper middle class, but the summer he finished seventh grade, his father informed him that he would start working at the family business - a concrete manufacturing plant. It was miserable work, but Tyler learned to shift his attitude and learned the value of work. His parents agreed to help him go to college for computer engineering, but Tyler failed out and returned home, where he started working at a company his family had recently acquired: a truck dealership. Tyler quickly learned about the business, staying on even after his family sold it, though finding himself without a job a year later. Tyler took a job in another state and was working his way up the ladder when he saw an opportunity to provide a solution to a problem he saw: helping truck drivers and owners diagnose and repair their trucks. With the move to a higher reliance on computers for this work, many truck drivers had no option but to go to the dealership. Tyler found a way to provide them what they needed. When his company demanded he drop the side business, Tyler, with his wife's support, took the leap into full-time entrepreneurship.  Diesel Laptops has grown exponentially in just seven years; it now employs 200 people and is looking to provide more streamlined solutions to help truck owners more easily and quickly diagnose and repair their trucks, vehicles which can't be easily replaced. You lose the use of a mixer truck, Tyler explains, you are out thousands of dollars until it can get repaired. Tyler's story shows how listening to what customers want and finding a way to provide it can be the key to success.  Now, let's get better together. Actionable Insights Most of us probably give little thought to diesel trucks, but they are a huge and essential part of our economy. Tyler says he "came late" to his industry but it's one where there's a huge need for what he has to offer. Electric vehicles are another market segment Robertson sees as an opportunity for growth. Tyler's company is not so much about offering the right widget, but about offering a package of products and services. Tyler points out that many people who have built successful businesses simply learned a trade, acquired customers, and grew from there. You don't need a college degree to find a product or service; you just need to find a need and fill it.  Be ready to change, shift, and let go as you grow. Tyler sees smaller businesses trying to grow by continuing to do the same thing, but some shifts are required for growth. For instance, he now employs 10 people in marketing in order to help identify more customers and grow his market, as he found he'd reached a plateau.

It takes a great mind to see the true potential of hard manual labor!A lot of us work our butts off in blue-collar jobs so that we can pay for (and then graduate from) college, in hopes of earning big bucks as white-collar workers.Somehow, we think that one type of job is better than the other.Just like we believe hard work BEATS talent any time of day.While there are certain truths to both ideas, what we really fail to recognize is that it's not about “which is better”…It's about taking the best out of these concepts and mashing them together to form a whole new “better” option!The brilliant minds of Josh Skolnick and Zach Beutler created a business where blue-collar and white-collar best practices are leveraged by entrepreneurs, and hard work MEETS talent, in order to achieve the financial freedom you desire!Josh is a serial entrepreneur who began a successful landscaping business in his youth.

Stephen is the CEO of Predictive ROI and the host of the Onward Nation podcast. He is the author of two bestselling books, speaker, trainer, and his digital marketing insights have been featured in SUCCESS, Entrepreneur, The Washington Post, Forbes, Inc. Magazine, and other media. Good Morning, Onward Nation and welcome to Episode 480 – this week’s solocast. And I am so fired up for this discussion – that I can hardly wait to share a major win from one of our Predictive ROI clients and avid listeners! No hyperbole – this win is really off-the-charts amazing. Here’s a brief backstory. Many Onward Nation listeners are business owners whose primary focus each day is to drive business development for their company. To drive new revenue, from new customers, and within new markets. All of that is consistent with the small business revenue data we consistently see…that points to how 43 percent of owners are cite growing revenue as the top challenge within their company – so – winning at biz dev needs to be at the forefront of an owner’s vital priorities. And breaking down the 43 percent for a second – that number – 43 percent – represents over 12 million business owners in this country who are concerned about growing revenue. One of the proactive and super successful biz dev strategies proactive business owners have implemented is to put a podcast out in front of their core business – and then – to use their show as I like to call, a Trojan Horse of Sales – meaning – their podcast drives new client revenue into their core business by opening up biz dev relationships with the guests they interviewed for their show. Very smart and my Predictive ROI team are experts at helping owners of business-to-business professional services firms drive hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in new revenue into their companies, through our Podcasting for Profit System. It is awesome. If you haven’t started your own podcast – but – you like the sound of having a Trojan Horse of Sales out in front of your business – then I encourage you to go back to Episode 445 of Onward Nation for the full recipe – in complete transparency – so you can take and apply all of the step-by-step ingredients. And then, a couple weeks ago, I took our biz strategy even deeper during Episode 460 by taking you on a deep dive into how to get a $10,000 to $100,000 sponsor for your podcast. But – I want to make sure I am very clear here – the recipe I shared in Episode 460 was not my recipe. It is a recipe I learned directly from the brilliant and super talented Linda Hollander. Linda is one of today’s leading authorities on how to sell sponsorships to top tier sponsors – and – our incredible guest on Onward Nation and she was kind enough to let me pick her brain for Chapter 16 of my upcoming book. Thank you, Linda – you are a rock star! Now, Linda’s sponsorship recipe is not just any recipe – it’s a recipe that can help you sell a $10,000 to $100,000 sponsorship for your business. Again, no hyperbole. It is truly that awesome. Here…I’ll prove it. Dave Mammano, a three-time guest here at Onward Nation, host of the Avanti Entrepreneur Podcast, and one of our Predictive ROI clients…decided to sit down and really study Episode 460. He wanted to learn from Linda all about how to get a sponsor – and then – what did he do? He immediately…and I do mean immediately, Onward Nation…he immediately applied what he learned. He went to work creating what Linda calls the “Sponsorship proposal.” He then emailed me the draft and I could see that he had applied Linda’s insights and wisdom exactly as she had recommended. He wrote his story – he shared insights into the good – the challenges along the way – and all of those things that make Dave the amazing, awesome, and incredible business owner he is today. He talked about his previous company that he recently sold and the story behind his latest venture. All in brilliant storytelling form. Dave’s proposal also included details about his podcast, his YouTube channel, and all of the other ways he communicates with his growing nation of true fans within in his community. And when he was all done – he went out and started to sell it. Then Dave called me a few days later and let me know that he sold a $30,000 sponsorship to the company called, Paychex. Yes, Onward Nation – Dave sold a $30,000 annual sponsorship that stretched over his podcast, YouTube channel, all of the other properties within his business. Definitely an incredible result outcome for Dave – but – it is also a real testament to the community, purpose, and high-quality content his Avanti Entrepreneur team are building. And one of the most incredible aspects of the sales process is that the negotiations with Paychex were never about monthly downloads, website traffic, social media shares, or email optins. Instead, the focus was about aligning the Paychex brand with Dave’s content and his ever-growing nation of true fans because both companies serve the same customers. So Onward Nation, your ability to sell your own $30,000 or even a $50,000 sponsorship, or a $100,000 sponsorship rests solely on you creating “properties” that attract the prospects and customers who your sponsor wants to be doing business with – and – that you create the type of culture a prospective sponsor wants to be aligned with. That should be your biz dev strategy, Onward Nation. And of course, it’s exciting to think about building a YouTube channel with hundreds of thousands of subscribers or a super popular Instagram account. But for most small business owners…becoming Internet famous…is not what is going to move the needle…and it shouldn’t be your vital priority. To be clear…I am not saying credibility on social media doesn’t matter…but…what I am saying is that just because you don’t have a million followers, doesn’t mean you can’t build an incredible core business where sponsors will absolutely want to pay you $50,000 to be part of the special relationship you are building with your customers and nation of true fans. What you do need above anything else is the confidence to know that it is possible. That you can do it. That you can be successful. That you can deliver value to a sponsor. That you have built an audience, a customer base, a loyal following – no matter the size – who value you, who love you, who appreciate your opinion, your insights, and they look to you for guidance. How amazing is that, right? You have so much to be grateful for. Okay, let’s bring Dave’s success, and how you can do it too, back into focus. I didn’t want to get you all fired up – and encourage you to go out there and start selling – without taking an opportunity to arm you with even more strategy and step-by-step process. Yes, the recipes provided in earlier episodes will provide you with the right tactical ingredients – but in addition to Dave’s success story – I also received feedback from other listeners who felt they needed more detail. In fact…they wanted a lot more detail. When I shared Dave’s story with them…they encouraged me to ask him to come back to the show and take us step-by-step through each and every detail that he experienced along the way. Great push back, Onward Nation – thank you. So I asked Dave – and – he agreed to come back and share each and every step…all the granular detail. How he wrote his story. What he decided to include or exclude. How he designed the Pitch Deck or the visual format of his proposal. How he presented it to Paychex. And every detail in between. Dave is going to share his story with you in full transparency because hearing his words may help move past any of the reservations – any of the hesitancy – any of the fear you may be feeling – that may be holding you back. And we are going to air that interview two weeks from today, Onward Nation…Episode 490 on Wednesday, May 10th. Be sure to listen…download it…share it with other business owners who you think can benefit from the recipe…this biz dev strategy could be a game changer for your business and my hope is you will take advantage of it right away. So, Onward Nation, here’s what I want to leave you with today. The key to success with this biz dev recipe, or any of the biz dev recipes we share here, is to get out of your own head, to allow yourself to study this recipe, and to give yourself the opportunity to apply it. Who cares if the first prospective sponsor you approach says no? So then you make some revisions to your proposal and you keep right on going. Just think about all of the studios and production companies that told George Lucas no – that his idea for Star Wars wasn’t going to go anywhere. Or, the many editors from many publishers who told JK Rowling that her story about a young boy, a wizard named Harry, didn’t have what it took to be successful. Well, billions and billions of dollars in sales later, and we all know what happened when the creators of Star Wars and Harry Potter believed enough in their purpose and vision – amazing things! Will your business enjoy similar success? I don’t know – but the point is – the only way you will know for sure is if you get out there and try. Some sponsors will say no – but all you need is 1 to say yes. Be sure to listen to Episode 490 that will air two weeks from today – May 10th – and you will get the exact roadmap – the exact recipe from Dave Mammano’s success. So with that said…I want to say thank you. Thank you for being here and for making Onward Nation what you listen – what you study – and maybe what you take with you on your morning run – or your daily commute. However we fit into your compressed schedule – I want you to know how much I appreciate you sharing some of your invaluable time with me today. And I encourage you to listen to tomorrow’s episode with Mark Stoner, who built and scaled his business from a one-man operation to now being featured in the primetime television show Blue Collar Millionaires on CNBC. You will not want to miss, Mark, Onward Nation. He is rock solid awesome!   Until then – onward with gusto!
