Today we are breaking down Goosehead Insurance. I always enjoy hearing about how a new entrant has effectively carved out a niche in a world of incumbents and Goosehead fits that billing perfectly.  I'm joined by Geoff Collette, founder and PM of Aeon Capital Partners, and he walks us through the story of Goosehead identifying a bottleneck in the home-buying process.  We also cover the evolving market, where captives like State Farm and Allstate are leaving opportunities for independent players like Goosehead to provide value.  There's a lot to learn from Goosehead and its evolution, with notable themes like technology, the franchising model, and an emphasis on speed. Please enjoy this breakdown on Goosehead Insurance.

We've been through hell and back. Me and body, that's for damn sure. I wish more business owners would share all that they're struggling with versus suffering in silence, because thinking you're “just fine” until you're not is a cover up. I've made so many mistakes, but the one that I didn't make was being vulnerable about what I was going through. This is the 6-year play-by-play of building a 7-figure business while navigating mold, adrenal insufficiency, subpar hormones and personal curveballs thrown my way. I hope my story helps, and I hope it serves as a reminder that you can scale while healing. -Join our Fit Pro Business Secrets Made Simple group over on Facebook for exclusive resources, trainings and help as you're growing your online fitness business. https://www.facebook.com/groups/fitprobusinesssecrets/  Follow Taeler on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/taelerfit/Learn more about working with Taeler, whether you're just starting your online coaching business or scaling to multi-6/7-figures. https://taelerdehaes.com/

This podcast interview focuses on the entrepreneurial journey to solve the most challenging productivity challenge in Manufacturing: human action. My guest is Max Fischer, Founder and CEO of Deltia. Max is a mechanical engineer. In 2014 he was a founding member of HackZurich, the largest hackathon Switzerland has ever seen.  In 2015 he co-founded Actyx and digitized 40+ factories. In this startup, he led product management, sales, and marketing teams.  Meanwhile he has established himself as a thought leader in the space of digital transformation for the factory floor. In November 2022, Max founded Deltia, a startup focused on helping factory operators track, analyze and improve efficiency by identifying the best possible processes and assisting workers with digital tools. Their mission: to make human work in manufacturing more productive and less error-prone by taking out the guesswork.  And this inspired me, and hence I invited Max to my podcast. We explore what's broken in identifying productivity opportunities in manufacturing. Max explains how for the first time ever - this is possible. He shares some of his big lessons on building the company, especially when it comes to foundational questions like "who's it for" and 'what's it for' - and how that helped them remain highly focused.  He elaborates on his first principes for building the platform - and how that helps them stay resilient and offer scalable solutions. . Here's one of his quotes There are a lot of decisions that you take both on the technical level and what customers you're serving. Who is the user that you're trying to focus on? We decided quite early on to not specifically target the Toyota's of this world. The automotive OEMs are basically the best-run manufacturing companies in the world. There are use cases, obviously, also for technology, no doubt about that. But I think a big opportunity is to help the 98% of other factories to come to a similar level to where Toyota of Volkswagen are today. During this interview, you will learn four things: Why functionality is important - but not as important as system design  How to go about building for business scalability rather than just technical scalability of your solution. Why the dream is not to help Toyota or Volkswagen - but companies much smaller and weaker than those brands. What they are doing differently to accelerate stakeholder buy-in from IT, legal, and Unions.

Increased production and decreased timelines. Who wouldn't want that? While AI can represent a massive leverage for organizations, many professionals are still struggling to embrace it or can't seem to understand how to use it properly. Thus, it's the responsibility of sales leaders to educate their teams on its capabilities, as well as integrating AI into their current workflow.AI tools like chatGPT have the power to help you 2x, 3x, or even 10x your output. There is no excuse not to incorporate AI into your organization. And with that in mind, today, we're joined by Mike Begg, Co-Founder & CEO of AMZ Advisors, an eCommerce consultancy firm, to discuss how AI is changing the game, which trends he foresees moving forward, and how to adapt to the new business landscape as we approach 2024. Time stamps:(00:00) Intro(00:42) Increasing output with AI(06:49) What holds people back from using AI(11:58) How to do quality at scale with AI(16:55) Training your team to embrace AI(18:42) Shifting from outbound to inbound(23:24) Content ownership and ethical concerns(26:21) Where to find Mike(27:06) Outro Quotes:“The more content you put out there, the faster you're gonna learn what your customer likes, what they don't like. And if you're able to do it with great volume, you're shortening the learning curve.”“When you make it feel like people are buying into the idea versus it being forced on them, you get way better results.”“In the foreseeable future, there's no way AI is ever gonna be able to replicate the creativity of an individual.““If you're in a role that is either relationship-based (sales, relationship management…), or creative-based (marketing, design…), you're always gonna have an opportunity or a job.“Every piece of content that exists is just a riff on another piece of content.” ______________________________________________ Join our AI Sales Prompt Pro - Notion community here: https://skaled.com/insights/ai-sales-prompt-pro/ Registrations are OPEN for ‘Sales AI Unleashed', a webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey.

A very understated exercise in sales is the win/loss analysis. Too many companies consider this activity as an afterthought, while also wondering why their close rates or churn rates aren't as good as they should be.Having focused conversations with lost opportunities may not come top of mind, but this activity has the power to uncover invaluable insights that not only improve close rates but also shape the outlook of an organization.Today, Jake is joined by Michael Hoffman, cofounder and CEO of PastSight, to discuss why this simple activity can unlock massive business growth, and how you should go about it. Time stamps:(00:00) Intro(00:43) Knowing Why You Lose Deals(02:23) Why This Is Important(06:11) Reaching Out To Lost Opportunities(08:40) Losing Deals To No-Decision(14:05) Integrating This Into Your Sales Process(17:23) How This Helps With Customer Retention(20:30) Getting The Feedback Directly(21:52) Outro Quotes:“There are very few activities you can do as an organization that will move the needle faster than doing a win/loss analysis”.“All the insights that you're missing from not understanding why you're losing are a gold mine. That percentage of the deals that you're losing is such a black box and such a massive opportunity for companies.”“When a prospect tells you we lost to no-decision, we find that two-thirds of the time, that's not even true because people want to be nice.”“Listening to Gong calls, you can make assumptions of why you didn't win. But if you actually get the feedback from the customer, they're the ones that will tell you the truth, if you can get there.”______________________________ Join 800+ sales leaders in ‘SALES AI UNLEASHED', a 9-part webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey: https://bit.ly/sales-ai-unleashed-series Connect with Michael Hoffman:

When it comes to using chatGPT, we know that the quality of our input will determine the quality of our output. We've been saying it for months. But generative AI doesn't just exist to spit out text. It can create strategies, train people, and solve complex problems if you go about it the right way.There is an art and a science to using generative AI in an effective way. Prompt scenarios are part of that: they are how we think about using chatGPT BEFORE we even start prompting. And, to help sales leaders out there, Jake has prepared 6 prompt scenarios to help us extract more value from chatGPT. The Prompt Strategy of Role PlayingScenario PlanningLong-term PlanningResearchSkills TrainingBrain StormingLet's dive in!Registrations are now OPEN for ‘Sales AI Unleashed', a webinar series w/ Kevin Dorsey.

On the new episode of "Elevator Pitch," find out how much investors are willing to bet on first-time founders. "I love seeing first-time entrepreneurs, but what I love even more is seeing two- and three-time entrepreneurs who have had successful exits!" So says investor Kim Perell on this new episode of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch, where we learn if contestants with a track record of success can find their way into our panel members' hearts (and wallets) faster than first-timers. Although Kim is impressed with a contestant's history of wins, investor Jonathan Huang isn't quite as sold. "Just because you had an exit doesn't mean you were successful," he notes. This is another episode packed with lessons that anyone hoping to fund their dream business needs to learn. As long-time viewers know, every episode of Entrepreneur Elevator Pitch gives contestants the chance to step into an elevator and try to win over investors in just 60 seconds. If they blow it? It's back to the drawing board. But if the pitch goes great, life-changing money is on the table.

This week on The Jake Dunlap Show, Jake talks about how many Sales leaders and executives don't often appreciate the revenue operations side of the business, and a lot of that has to do with not understanding what Revenue Operations can do for them and how it applies to the business on a larger scale.There are two things RevOps does really well. The first is surface insights that make the organization better - aka more productive and profitable. The second thing they do really well is not "recommendations" based on these cross-organization insights but the strategy that will make an impact.So, how can you support RevOps so they can better support you?

In this episode of the Jake Dunlap Show, we are joined by Patrick Danial, a global enterprise guru, co-founder, and Chief Technology Officer of Terakeet, a company that unsurprisingly has been named in the top 5 of the 2020 Best Workplaces in New York by GPTW_US  and FortuneMagazine.For the past 25 years, Terakeet has been on an ascending path, from startup to global marketing partner for global brands seeking online business growth through direct audience engagement.When Patrick and his team decided it was time to take their business to a new level, they had to rethink their leadership strategies. In order to grow their company, they had to learn to trust and empower their people in decision-making and help them develop the right type of risk mindset.Listen and find out what are the pain points when going through this leadership transitioning  process and what you need to do in order to create an environment where people feel involved and motivated to push forward. Time stamps: (00:43) Our guest, Patrick Danial, Co-founder and CTO of Terakeet;(01:28) Empowering decision-making employees;(07:41) Navigating through this type of leadership transition process;(13:45) When to take risks and the right type of risk mindset you want your people to develop;(18:44) How do you stay focused and keep your people involved and dedicated to this type of change;(21:27) The one thing you wish someone would have told you if you were a new leader, starting out today. Quotes: “We attempt to always grab the wheel and fix a situation ourselves, (...) but that quickly changes if you're looking to move beyond the lifestyle business and not be held captive to every single facet of the business, every customer and every employee need.” “We continued to grow but we were still very much a founder-led company, up until five years ago when we learned about the power of numbers and allowing people to contribute ideas and vote on ideas in a safe space.” “You can't extend autonomy to someone until you make them feel that we're all moving in the same direction, and then you can step back and give them the motivation to push forward and take their own risks.” “People know what's going on. People can see the business, they see what's broken even if it's not in their own department.” “By having the team be a part of the process it can make the lows a little bit higher because they feel like they're a part of it. (...) We're in this together.”____________________________ Mentions:Rapid  Development Strategy (RED)Website | Linkedin ____________________________ Get in contact with Patrick:Linkedin-https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrickdanial/Twitter- https://twitter.com/pdanial?lang=en Patrick's company, Terakeet:Website- http://terakeet.com/Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/TerakeetTwitter- https://twitter.com/terakeetInstagram- ​​https://www.instagram.com/terakeet/Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/company/terakeet ____________________________ Follow Jake: Website- https://www.jakedunlap.com/Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/jake_dunlap_/Linkedin- https://www.linkedin.com/in/jakedunlapTwitter- https://twitter.com/jaketdunlap

Gabriela Pulido founded a creative consulting agency, Scalto.com,  that serves a niche market. Gabriela coaches companies ready to scale without incurring high costs with a strong focus on the Hispanic and Latin American markets. To date, Gabriela has worked with over 300 global Latin American & Hispanic brands. Using a unique framework she developed, the xAlto Program™, she helps businesses grow in new markets.When working with foreign markets, it's important to not only translate the marketing message into another language but to understand the nuances of the market. This requires an understanding of the culture and the people you are targeting. When you work with different cultures, you need to conduct research, so you don't alienate them by saying something that doesn't jive with their culture. A feat that is not as simple as it sounds. The xAlto Program™ framework helps companies expanding into new markets and cultures know precisely how they need to pivot. This enables them to make intelligent marketing decisions instead of just throwing things out there and waiting to see what sticks. By keeping an open mind and not being stuck with laser vision, companies can explore new and different options and opportunities they would not have thought of had they not pivoted distribution into new markets. In Gabriela's experience, companies grow most when they have a clear vision. They need to understand the why. Knowing what motivates your growth makes it easy to find the right path, no matter how many new markets you try to conquer. The first part of the framework that Gabriela teaches her clients is that no brand can be everything to everyone. To truly scale a business, you need to narrow your offer, focus, and niche. The more targeted you are, the easier it is to scale. The next step is to have a clear vision of the narrative is? What are the pillars of your brand story, and how are you sharing this story with potential clients? Sometimes, you need to change your brand image or logo to win at narrative or storytelling. You need to connect with the market you're looking to expand in. The last step in the framework is to put all the pieces together. When you have everything in place tailored to your brand, that is when you see success and growth. A framework covering all the bases can take a bank with deep roots in one country and help them pivot by becoming a local community bank in another country. This is what Gabriela's company did for a Venezuelan banking institution, Mercantile Bank. Once you understand where you want to go, you need to create a plan to get there. If you're a business looking to expand into new markets, follow this One Big Tip!In this episode:[2:55] Gabriela shares her diverse background, having worked in different marketsIn today's world, there is expansion happening from market to marketTo grow your business, you need to understand that different cultures and markets view things differently[8:01] You need to know how to adapt to move forwardMiami is a microcosm of what's happening in the businessIf you want to succeed you need to be open-minded [15:02] A surefire way to pivot successfully is to follow a strategy that worksKnow who your market isKnow what their pain points areKnow your why[18:20] Marketing is the creativity that can take X and make people believe that it's YMarketing is comprised of many different moving partsTo break into a new market successfully, you must speak the proverbial language of the peopleSupport the show

With every strategy, we're going to implement, there are four key phases. Phase one is the strategy itself, IMPLEMENTATION. That's where the real work starts for a new member. The key word here is CONVERSION, not just implementation. Each strategy needs to be SYSTEMIZED. Once we got it converted, then we organized it. Paul took a team from seven down to three or four and doubled the revenue. How is that? Because his VA could run it across three different desks, A, B and C. Then part four was HANDED OVER. So you'll never be part of that process again.

Farm automation technology addresses major issues like a rising global population, farm labor shortages, and changing consumer preferences. The benefits of automating traditional farming processes are monumental.Labor is over 50% of the cost to grow a farm and 55% of farmers say they are impacted by labor shortages. Because of this, 31% of farmers are moving to less labor-intensive crops.There is a misconception that mechanization displaces farm labor and encourages rural– urban migration, but the opposite is true: mechanization improves well-being and increases decent work opportunities.Indoor cannabis cultivation has always been intimately bound to the technology supporting it. For growers, the most urgent technology needs and compelling cost-savings opportunities are harvest-related. Despite mechanized seed-to-bud efficiencies, the post-grow clipping and trimming of leaves and stems is largely done by hand.Ideally, growers wouldn't have any humans involved in post-harvest because of the higher risk of contamination. If farms could it would completely automate the post-harvest phase and reassign employees to inspection duties. But most can't. Not yet, anyway.In modern cannabis production, our biggest motivator for technological advancement is no longer secrecy: it is profitability. By 2020, innovation in horticultural technology was dedicated almost exclusively to operational efficiency. Looking specifically at automation in cultivation, commercial growers are using computers, robots, machines, and more to increase profitability on several fronts. The #TalkingHedge...https://youtu.be/eftC4iFyqJk
