There's an important but essential part of the mindset to connect with influencers that it's often ignored. The "giving value first" philosophy, although broadly shared and understood, is often misinterpreted. Entrepreneurs might think they're doing the right thing, but in reality, they're being guided by subconscious mental blocks. Today, we explore the mental blocks that might not allow you to convey the value you have to offer to influencers. In addition to that, you'll listen to one of the best conversations on Beyond Influencer Marketing podcast with internationally renowned bestselling author Bob Burg. Bob shares what influencing really is, and how to think and behave in ways that allows you to build long-term connections with influencers and clients as well. Selected takeaways from today's show: Always give value first. Great salesmanship or influencing is never about the salesperson or the influencer. It’s about the people you try to serve. Value is in the eyes of the beholder. The key is not what we think is valuable, or what we think they should think is of value. Understanding the other person is a must. Money simply is an echo of value. You will be able to get ahead when you shift from an “I” focus to an “other” focus. Stay in touch with your business relationships. A handwritten note or a quick check in on social media is all it takes. Do so because you’re genuinely interested in them.     More about Bob Burg Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences.

Bob Burg, a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences, and author of numerous bestselling books, including The Go-Giver, which has sold more than half a million copies, talks about his core philosophy to build long-lasting business relationships. Bob Burg’s Journey Bob started his career as a broadcaster in radio and television, but later made his way into sales. He had a rough start in the sales arena, especially because the training he was given was “negligible at best.” That's why he decided to become a student of sales, and learned the importance of focusing on the other person first. Money became an echo of value rather than a primary goal. When Bob began his speaking career, he found support in the National Speakers Association. There, he met people like Brian Tracy, who became a source of support and inspiration. Bob's Philosophy to Build Long-Lasting Business Connections: Always give value first. Great salesmanship or influencing is never about the salesperson or the influencer. It’s about the people you try to serve. Value is in the eyes of the beholder. The key is not what we think is valuable, or what we think they should think is of value. Understanding the other person is a must. Money simply is an echo of value. You will be able to get ahead when you shift from an “I” focus to an “other” focus. Stay in touch with your business relationships. A handwritten note or a quick check in on social media is all it takes. Do so because you're genuinely interested in them. Worst influencer marketing moment “In terms of writing, I’ve been very fortunate,” Bob says. However, there have been instances when a business venture turned out to be a bad idea. To avoid this kind of situation, Bob suggests doing extensive research before committing to any business partnership. Even then, there are no guarantees. You'll up your chances to succeed if there's alignment between your values and those of your partners. One thing you’re most excited about The 10th anniversary of The Go-Giver.

What if I were to tell you that the most crucial aspect of a successful business was not actually profit gain? Would you be willing to believe that a key ingredient in a booming, high-profit organization was generosity? We at the Business of Story typically focus on the story aspect of brand marketing strategy. Today we’re focusing on the business side. In the past, marketing and advertising were created for the sole purpose of generating as much revenue as possible, with no concern for the customers. That was then, and this is now.  The modern consumer has more agency and makes informed decisions based on up to date facts. They no longer serve the brand; the brand serves them. Previous methods of marketing are no longer effective in this age, and businesses need to adapt to survive. How can an organization hope to succeed in this cutthroat world of brand marketing? Simple; just a little bit of kindness and authenticity. Today’s guest is an expert both in business and humanities. Bob Burg, international businessman, author of Go-Giver, and Endless Referrals is with us to explain how giving is the most effective way of getting. With decades of experience helping Fortune 500 companies and other business endeavors, Bob has created his Five Laws of Stratospheric Success to share with others the stunning effect that generosity and kindness can have. His goal is to remind us that the purpose of business is not for making money, but the exchange of value so that both parties leave happy. These lessons examining the methods of business are crucial for any entrepreneur who wants to respect and to be respected, by their customers. Tune in today, and learn just how giving is receiving. In This Show, You’ll Learn Bob Burg’s Five Laws of Stratospheric Success The importance of generosity in the business world Benefits of focusing the story on someone else Key Quotes “Money is the thunder to value’s lightning.” – Bob Burg “The focus was not in the right place; the focus was on myself.” – Bob Burg “People buy you first before they buy into your product” – Bob Burg “Don’t be afraid to show your authentic vulnerable self, and that gets people to buy into what you are about, so you can help them get what they want.” – Park Howell Story Marketer of the Week Not wanting the stress of spending $200 per night on a hotel, my wife and I decided to try out AirBnB during our most recent trip to visit our son in Hollywood. Boy, were we impressed! Michelle and I have since used AirBnB for basecamp in our travels across the United States and Europe, each room an incredible and unique experience. AirBnB recognizes that it’s more important for the focus to be on the guests, and works hard to ensure that you are the hero on this brand journey. A large section of their website is dedicated to customers sharing their own tales. Plus, it features the stories of their hosts and photos of the guest’s journeys. For creatively shifting the focus from their own company to the consumers, and for putting the customer in the spotlight of their story, we have awarded AirBnB as the Story Marketer of the Week.

Bob Burg is one of my favorite authors and human beings of all time. He is generous with his time and his talent and has taught me so much as an informal mentor of mine for the last 15 or so years.    His latest book is Go Giver Leadership (co-authored with John David Mann) and I think it is his best work yet. It's written in fable form, and shares the tenets of leadership of the leader I would want to work for.    When I read the book, it actually made me cry, thinking of how wonderful it must be to work for a leader like the leader described in this book.  A little about Bob Burg Bob Burg shares information on topics vital to the success of today’s businessperson. He speaks for corporations and associations internationally, including fortune 500 companies, franchises, and numerous direct sales organizations. Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President. Although for years he was best known for his bookEndless Referrals, over the past few years it’s his business parable, The Go-Giver (coauthored with John David Mann) that has captured the imagination of his readers. The Go-Giver, a The Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over 500,000 copies. Since its release it has consistently stayed in the top 25 on 800ceoread’s Business Book Bestsellers List. It has been translated into 21 languages and is Bob’s fourth book to sell over 250,000 copies. Bob is an advocate, supporter and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people they serve. He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees of Furry Friends Adoption and Clinic in Jupiter, Florida.   The 5 keys of a Go Giver Leader are: 1. Don’t get it backwards: don’t start thinking you’re the deal. 2. Great leadership is never about the leader. 3. Great leadership is about holding people up. 4. The best way to increase your influence is to give it away. 5. The more you give, the more you have.   But Bob and I don't just talk about this book. We talk about sales and leadership, laughter and life, and it's a terrific chat I enjoyed so much.  Connect more with Bob Burg Buy your copy of The Go Giver Leader Listen to The Go Giver podcast Read Bob Burg's articles about sales, leadership and more
