Sales are slow. Selling takes time. The process is unpredictable.” We've all heard these words, and maybe even said them. But they're simply not true. Even the most complex-seeming sales processes can be simplified. There are two things that impact how fast a sale happens: your confidence and your process. Most sales teams lack both. Brian Cristiano, CEO of Manhattan-based sports ad agency BOLD Worldwide, started his first business when he was 16 and has since built two multimillion-dollar companies. Over the past two years, Brian has developed a sales process that has helped him grow the agency 5x. In addition to helping his clients market and grow their companies, Brian works with sports brands and teams, training their sales forces on how to do the same.Check out upcoming DigiMarCon Digital Marketing, Media, and Advertising Conferences & Exhibitions Worldwide at https://digimarcon.com/events/

Episode Show Notes What does it take to build a successful business? Scratch that. What does it take to build a 9-figure business?!? We are getting real now. It is simple. Stop trying to know everything and START taking action. You can learn more from bad experiences (such as being dead broke) over reading a book or paying for a class. Yes, education and learning is important but it pales in comparison to action. In this week’s podcast, I interview self-made millionaire Brian Cristiano.  Brian is the Founder & CEO of BOLD Worldwide, Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker, Marketing Expert and Creator of the Docu-Series: Growing BOLD. His focus is building a $100,000,000+ Marketing & Media Company. How do you swallow an elephant? One bite at a time. That is how Brian is striving to obtain his goal. One action at a time.   In this podcast, you will learn that launching a successful digital campaign is a very important component for business growth and an action that is necessary to put gas on your growth fire. It’s very easy for entrepreneurs to forget who their customers actually are. The biggest win is starting with knowing who your core customers are and their values and then taking massive action to solve their problems. Understanding your customer requires interacting with your audience and looking at data. You need to be aware of customer values and what drives them. How did you retain them in the first place? Through customer service? Prices? Focus on how you can make those components bigger and better and tell a story around it. The key is to retain your customers. Where most entrepreneurs go wrong is that they spend too much time focusing on tactics such as what’s the cost per lead, and not enough time actually focusing on their customers and taking action to get that first lead. And second lead, and third, and 10th, and 1,000th…... Customers are marketing geniuses. If you market based off customer needs, you skip the guessing game. That is the biggest game changer. Your marketing campaign will become more successful the more you stop making it about you and what your selling, and start focusing on what you can do for your customers. If you are ready to level up your marketing campaign and take action towards solving your customer’s problem, then you are on the path to 9-figures! In this episode you will learn... -> Why it is important to focus on customer needs in order to launch a successful marketing campaign-> How to retain your customers-> Why it’s important to study your customer to grow your business-> How to be successful in starting a business Quotes: “Stop selling the features and start selling the outcome - understand your customer to actually sell the outcome” “Are you driving a deal or something intriguing enough that the rest of the market isn’t?” “The real win is starting from who your core customers and what are their values?” Question:  What do your customers really want?

We’re mixing things up on this episode to dish out some serious realness, openness, and honesty. Brian Cristiano is the founder and CEO of BOLD Worldwide, a sports advertising agency in New York City. He’s also my husband, so on this episode, Brian and I take turns asking each other “anything we want.” This hour was totally unscripted and it gets a little deeper than I had anticipated. The topics ended up ranging from where we see ourselves in 10 or 20 years to the things that make us happiest in life, our hopes for our future children, and the people who have had the most profound impacts on our lives. Plus, Brian talks about his father’s unexpected death and how it affected his outlook on life, and shares some really valuable career and life advice.

March Madness is a huge opportunity for brands to engage sports fans. To help get a true representation of which brands are doing the best at engaging fans during March Madness, Bold Worldwide created March Adsanity. On this episode Brian Cristiano and Rob Cressy give a preview of what exactly March Adsanity is and who they expect to win it all. The format is simple: the tournament starts during the Sweet 16, and it is comprised of the top 16 brands who are ranked based on their total number of social media followers. From there each brand will be paired up against another on a specific day. Whoever has the most social media engagement on that day wins the game and moves on to the next round. This continues through March Madness to the final game where we will declare a brand the March Adsanity champion. At the end Brian and Rob give their Final Four picks for March Adsanity and encourage you to give yours as well. In each episode of The Sports Marketing Huddle, CEO of BOLD Worldwide Brian Cristiano, and Founder of Cress Media & Bacon Sports Rob Cressy give a forward-thinking perspective about some of the hottest topics in the world of sports marketing and then give you actionable advice on how you can implement it into your business.
