People often talk about spirals that descend downwards, but we often forget that spirals can go upwards too. In today's episode, James Clarke and I talk about some of the ways to propel our credibility into an upward spiral. James Clarke is the managing partner of Clarke Capital Partners. Early in his career, James founded and led a Utah-based online retailer named CLEARLINK with more than 2,000 employees. He's earned some prestigious awards. For example, the Utah State Bar named James as the "Technology Pioneer of the Year" and BusinessQ Magazine named him as one of their “10 Coolest Entrepreneurs”. He is also the Governor-appointed Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees at Utah Valley University. How Credibility Can Work Like an Upward Spiral Credibility spirals can start in a small situation with low stakes. Maybe it's a project that is due. When someone comes through for us in that situation, and they do what they say they are going to do, we tend to give them more trust. Then we'll ask them to do something with a little higher stakes. When they prove they can do that they earn even more trust. That same process repeats in an upward spiral of responsibility and trust.  James shared an example of how he saw this upward credibility spiral happen with his business partner. They knew each other in school, and as they built their relationship, that trust grew. It spiraled throughout the years, and now they have an implicit trust with one another, trusting everything about each other. Likability, Trust, and Reliability  “When we like people we want to work with them, when we trust them we want to work with them, and then the last part is about the nuts and bolts of what we do as a business.” -James Clarke A mentor of James' taught him about the three things that make people want to work with each other... if we like the person, trust the person, and know that they'll make us money. Those last two elements are obviously elements of credibility. It is important for us to instill that trust in our associates, and we do that by being reliable and ethical. There are people we like that we don't want to do business with and it's often because we don't trust them and know they aren't reliable. We need to become the kind of people that we want to work with. We must do what we say we're going to do, be honest at all times, especially when it's hard, and take responsibility when things go wrong. Education--Connections and Credibility James did the Owner/President Management (OPM) program at Harvard Business School. He spent two years in the program and built some of the best relationships he's ever built in his life there, working with incredible people, a handful of whom were already billionaires. It was his first experience and exposure to great business professionals.  The program didn't grant a master's degree, but it gave James wonderful connections and the credibility that comes with saying he went to Harvard. James realized that a master's degree would give him even more credibility, so he decided to go to Oxford. This is another school that provides instant credibility. Why do these schools provide so much credibility to graduates? One reason may be that they have rigorous application and interview processes, and the programs themselves are rigorous. Graduates from these schools are considered intelligent and hard working.  In addition, most people believe in a traditional education like this. Society generally supports the idea that the best way to become educated is to attend a university, and one of these prestigious universities will give us an even more prestigious education. Wherever we are in the process of our education, receiving higher education, if that is an option, maybe something to consider because it may give us greater credibility. “Upon the subject of education… I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people may be engaged in.” -Abraham Lincoln Love We don't generally think about love as a part of business, but there are a couple of concepts related to love that build credibility. For example, we don't care what someone has to say until we know that they care about us and what we're doing. This also plays into the credibility spiral. When someone really loves us, we are open to them giving us good advice, and we'll apply their advice more often. When their advice works in our lives, they have more credibility in our eyes, and we listen to their next advice more, and the credibility just keeps building. James has hired thousands of employees, and he's seen this play out with many of them. If it doesn't work out with an employee, it's usually for one of two reasons. The first reason, which is very rare, is that they just don't get it. They don't have the mental capacity, or they don't have what it takes to understand.  The second reason is that they just don't care. They just don't love what they're doing, so they don't care about their job or the people they're working with. Unfortunately, when this is the situation, we can feel it in every part of what they're involved in. This is why it is important to go into fields that we love and work with people we love. We will do better work, give better advice, and rise in our credibility spiral with those around us. “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” -Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States Another Angle of Love--Passion-Marketing There is another angle of love that we can relate to marketing, which is passion-marketing. This is finding what customers love and connecting with them through those top-level passions. At PetIQ, where James worked for about 10 years, they didn't focus on their products in their marketing. Instead, they focused on what their customers are passionate about their pets. They were no longer pet owners, they were pet parents. For many of their customers, their pets are like their children, so they used that passion to market to their customers. James has done this kind of thing in other organizations as well. In healthcare, for example, James can't imagine anything nobler than trying to save people's lives, so they talk about helping cure highly infectious diseases, which is something that people can be highly passionate about.  Losing Credibility  When James was selling CLEARLINK, he started doing business with a good friend of his. Six months into this service, James was billed for the equivalent of five years of fees in one single quarter. He knew something was wrong but didn't know what. James immediately brought it to the attention of his friend, who humbly apologized and said he would take care of it.  James thought the issue was a mistake that had been completely resolved and continued to work with the friend, but he soon learned that the same thing had happened to others that James had referred to as his friend. They had all been overbilled and not by small amounts but by hundreds of thousands of dollars. That relationship ended before it really began. Fast forward to today that individual has now been sentenced and is headed to federal prison. We need to be sure we always strive to do what we say we're going to do so we increase instead of destroying our credibility. “Once you lose your credibility, you can never restore it.” -Reinhold Messner, Italian mountaineer, explorer, and author Who is the most credible person in your life and why? James and his aunt both had a very similar upbringing. They came from middle-class families, working on their family's farms. James' aunt built her own global business named Diet Center and was very successful. She was also very generous, always telling James he could borrow her very nice car, or asking him how she could help his school. She was a great example of James being successful and giving back, and he thought, “If she could do it then I can do it.” She and her husband were truly authentic and credible. They got behind different causes, and they really helped build up the community. James thinks of her as the most credible person in his life because she was very successful and generous. Key Takeaways Thank you so much James for sharing your stories and knowledge with us today. Here are some of my key takeaways from this episode: Start growing our credibility spirals by doing what we say we are going to do and proving we can be trusted in low-stake situations, then building toward being trusted in higher-stakes situations. Be honest and quickly take responsibility when things go wrong. Education can really boost our credibility. Consider getting more relevant education or training if we haven't already. Share love to show people that we truly care about them and what they love to further build our credibility. Go into fields we love to ensure that we care about what we're doing and increase our chance of success. Use passion marketing to connect with the things our customers are most passionate about. When we are successful, be generous with that success to help others.

Meet Cydni Tetro Cydni Tetro is a highly successful entrepreneur and digital monetizer. The art of storytelling and how to apply it for business growth and market leadership is woven through her career. She led technology commercialization at Disney and helped build a Facebook App with more than 100 million users. She founded a 3D printing personalization platform named 3DplusMe, founded a simulation platform named ForgeDX, and started a nonprofit, all while contributing to her community and raising children.   Cyndi has been recognized as Woman of the Year, Contributor of the Year, and one of the Top 10 Coolest Entrepreneurs. She received Stevie Awards for Entrepreneur of the Year and Innovator of the Year and has been recognized as a Most Successful Businesswoman to Watch. Building Skyscrapers Cydni said in our interview: “If you can't control your destiny, then it's hard for you. You have momentary success, but you're not in control of the outcome.” In this interview, Cydni discussed four foundations she has implemented in her work to build skyscrapers.    1. Being Consumer Driven: Creating Experiences and Connection   While working for Disney, Cydni became grounded in building relationships with the guests there. “It's built into their DNA—that customer connection. Their organization is completely built around everything you do with guest satisfaction,” Cydni said. Everything was about the customer. Any time a project showed signs of guest dissatisfaction, it was out.  When Cydni left Disney and started a new venture, 3DplusMe, her customer focus followed. This new company became successful by asking the question: “How can we, for a moment, help someone see themself and immerse themself in their favorite storylines, and then create this experience that truly transforms them?” Sure enough, her organization found a way to do just that.  Cydni and her team created a 3D personalization platform which took 3D images and transformed individuals into their favorite character. What would it be like to be Tony Stark? With this platform, individuals could immerse themself into his character and truly discover what it's like to be Iron Man!  This product became so successful that it was taken to the Super Bowl, the World Series, Toys “R” Us, Walmart, Target, and more. This accomplishment came from focusing on creating an emotional connection with the customer. Cydni then built a B2B enterprise called ForgeDX which focused on technology storytelling. This company built visualizations that showed the power of technology tied to business outcomes. “We were working with the Miami Dolphins and their CEO at the time used this term of: ‘You're trying to create ubiquitous exclusivity in your experiences.' What you want is to have an exclusive experience, but you want that for everyone,” Cydni said.  It became all about creating “Aha!” moments so that consumers would stay engaged in every part of the journey or keep coming back. These experiences helped to drive customer behavior because the focus was again on the customer and building connections.    2. Growing Ecosystems of Influence: References without Words   “When you build trusted relationships and deliver value, then it becomes a reference that you don't even have to talk about”—Cydni Tetro Launching their 3DplusMe program at Comic-Con was a tremendous success, all due to this “Ecosystem of Influence.” A partner of theirs, 3D Systems, let Cydni's company set up space in the corner, which happened to only be 10' x 10'. It was their first introduction for this particular product; however, Cydni's company ended up with an enormous line of individuals waiting to have an immersive experience as a character!  This is how they built and leveraged an ecosystem to have this success: Their company was partnered up with 3D Systems who helped them get a space at Comic-Con. Marvel, with who they also had a partnership, participated in the immersive experience. Marvel then shared the 3D results on their YouTube channel. “Marvel was endorsing us, I got a deal with Hasbro from it to create a custom toy line, and a deal with Walmart from it. This company was built on relationships and the influence of a bigger pie. This ecosystem of influence allowed us time and time again to monetize,” Cydni said.  When Walmart caught the attention of this program, they reached out to Cydni to do a product launch for Superhero September. Cydni cold-called into Hasbro for help in launching it, and they were able to pull it off in only 60 days after the initial launch at Comic-Con! Marvel approved, Hasbro created the toy line, and then they launched into 20 Walmarts around the country.   Their ecosystem of influence saw the value in what was being created, which became a domino effect with other retailers. Cydni said, “When you can build trusted relationships and someone does a transaction with you, then you get the credibility in building that relationship. So other companies say, ‘well, if you're working with them, then it's ok for us to work with you.'” For example, another company of Cydni's called ForgeDX built a strong relationship with Adobe. Because Microsoft saw Adobe using this demo platform, Microsoft signed up as well.   3. Conversions without Friction   “Anytime something is complicated or more of a hurdle than the value you're going to give them, people say: ‘I'm out!'”—Cydni Tetro Cydni discovered while building demos that consumers like to learn information, but they don't like friction. Essentially, they don't want to be tasked with solving a problem or thinking during the conversion process.  In a funnel, customers are going to be looking for the information that they need to move to the next step. It's important to keep in mind: What information does a customer need to make the next decision or complete the sale? During the enterprise funnel, let's say the customer becomes interested. Give them the information to take the next step, but then they need to see something in action that drives their engagement. It needs to be so simple that they could figure it out on their own. No friction. In doing so, they are more likely to make a conversion.  Cydni was working on a demo for a particular company, which they wanted to be high-converting. She and her team helped this company create a product demo focused on the information that a customer needed to understand the unique value provided. They did just that by targeting four things that were unique about the program and the reasons why someone would purchase it.  The demo became so successful that it performed 300% better than anything else the company had previously done. Form fills were even 28% better than anything else on their website. Another huge focus was the design strategy of the demo to make it interactive but not difficult. No friction.  “The moment you have friction with no value, people just leave you or they bounce off of your site. Be really attuned that people understand the value in that next step because every time it gets harder, you lose people. That's when you lose your conversion funnels.”—Cydni   4. The Success Based Pricing Model: Recurring Revenue   Cydni shared that there are many ways to generate recurring revenue. Here are three examples: Through a Channel Companies like Hasbro may have an action figure at Walmart but only sell a few per day. However, 60,000 other retailers are selling that exact action figure on the same day. This is a platform of mass distribution where a product can be accessed from all over or through many channels.  Product Frequency / Subscriptions When Cydni was a small retailer selling only one character, how could she get customers to return to her? She saw a similar company to hers called Lucrate become successful by creating subscriptions. For a certain price per month, customers would gain access to a comic collection. Subscriptions create product frequency, but it has to have frequency for value. Cydni and her team could not accomplish this with their business model. Per Simulation, Not Per User: A Success-Based Model When building the next company, Cydni said, “While we're building these product demos, we're not going to think about them as one-time product demo builds. We're going to build a platform underneath them that customers can subscribe to which will give everyone access to the demo. Every time we build another demo, it will be on the platform.” Everything was going to be about the platform: how customers access the platform or demo from it, how the demo is embedded from the platform, and how to give access to users internally or externally.  They cracked the code and built a subscription model. This was a little bit different than other companies' models because they wanted everyone to use the demos. So, they priced per simulation and not per user. Thousands of their employees used the demos so it became a mission-critical application! This is how they became successful. This had become a viral loop. When the employee uses the technology and goes to their next company, or works closely with another company, they share that technology with the next company. Cydni's company was able to get about 16 demos to play on the platform with thousands of users every month. This helped them forecast success for the following year. The subscription was built to be modified by creating a baseline price for year one. Then in the second year, the platform fee was based on how successful a given company had been the previous year. This allowed their recurring revenue to have a low-cost entry fee while also capturing value over time as usage and customer value increased. Having a success-based pricing model instead of a per-user pricing model was a brilliant move. Not doing so would have discouraged the viral loop and the level of Cydni's company's success.  “It becomes a natural limiter. In our case, we want everyone to use it. Don't limit. Don't make someone think about how they have to pay for a user. Let every person use it. Because if they use it and you did your job, they'll keep using it.”—Cydni   The success-based pricing model is a great example of thinking of the long-term, lifetime value of the customer, and not just the short-term per-user fee. With the success-based pricing model, Cydni's company cracked the code of their monetization success.  Connect with Cydni If you enjoyed this interview and want to learn more about Cydni or connect with her, you can find her on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cydnitetro/ Key Takeaways Thank you so much Cydni for sharing your stories and strategies about building your skyscrapers with us today. Here are some key takeaways from today's episode: Always be focused on the consumer. How can we give them the best experience possible and create a stronger connection? Work to give “ubiquitous exclusivity” in customer experiences.  When we build trusted relationships and deliver value, it becomes a point of credibility because we can share the fact that another credible organization is using it. That in turn allows us to attain the credibility we need with the next partner. Ecosystems of influence make it a lot easier for a company to monetize time and time again.  Anytime something is complicated or more of a hurdle than the value you're going to give to the customer, people say: “I'm out!” We need to make sure to keep things as simple as possible for the user. Eliminate all the friction we can. Don't give the customer all of the information at once. Instead, focus on what information a customer needs to make the next decision or take the next step. Explore a success-based subscription model to start a viral loop and improve the long-term, lifetime value of the customer.  Want to be a Better Digital Monetizer? Did you like today's episode?
