This week, Shawn Wilkie and Dr. Ivan Zak explore insights from Luke Hedlund, the Founder of Tucannon Partners, about exactly that approach. Luke is looking for one business within vet med to manage and make a majority investment in. He is open to vet clinics, but he's more focused on vendors to vet clinics. Luke shares his approach to fixing the issues that frustrate everyone - ineffective meetings, unclear communication, and poor decision-making processes. He also discusses the risks of chasing inflated valuations over product-market fit, and explains why imaging and workflow improvements hold untapped potential for better pet care and business performance.   Learn more about Tucannon Partners.

During a dynamic presentation, Sean V. Bradley, the “Millionaire Car Salesman,” delved into emerging forms of communication designed to elevate dealership performance. This article encapsulates the key insights and provides a deep dive into the transformative potential of these strategies. Key Takeaways Speed to Lead: Utilizing advanced tools, especially AI, can ensure faster response times, increasing conversion rates significantly. Diverse Communication Mediums: Incorporating unconventional methods such as memes, GIFs, and video emails can stand out in the crowded marketplace. Technological Integration: Effective use of AI and automation streamlines processes, allowing for higher engagement without compromising personal touch.   Harnessing the Power of Conversational AI for Instant Engagement SEO Optimized Heading: The Impact of AI on Engagement and Conversion In the modern digital age, AI's role in customer communication is both revolutionary and essential. Sean Bradley emphasized the profound impact that conversational AI can have on engagement. He cited extensive data from Podium, demonstrating AI's brisk response capabilities. Bradley shared, “somebody just types in, hey, I'm looking for a black f 150. And bam. Within a minute. Something this detailed, this professional specific is done by artificial intelligence.” Artificial intelligence in dealership operations serves more than just an operational role; it becomes part of the sales strategy. By providing instant responses that are detailed and professional, AI frees up human resources to focus on more complex tasks, hence improving overall efficiency. AI tools process large data sets to generate precise and informative replies, meeting customer inquiries with unprecedented speed. Bradley noted, “AI enables machines to learn from experience and adapt to new inputs by analyzing large amounts of data and identifying patterns.” Embracing AI doesn't mean sidelining the human touch but augmenting it. AI can act as an "army of you," handling numerous inquiries simultaneously, thus ensuring no potential lead slips through the cracks.   Diversifying Communication Channels: Beyond Traditional Methods SEO Optimized Heading: Unconventional Communication Channels that Engage Exploring beyond traditional calls and emails, Bradley advocated for a diverse communication arsenal, including memes, GIFs, video emails, and even personalized text messages. These approaches cater to the ways modern consumers interact daily. Bradley acknowledged the challenge of gaining prospects' attention amid various dealership communications vying for their response. “The average dealership is not using Apple FaceTimes or memes or cash app or Venmo or animated gifs or things like that,” he remarked. This diversity is key to cutting through the noise and capturing consumers' interest through unexpected channels. For instance, incorporating memes can infuse humor into interactions, breaking the monotony of typical sales communications. An example shared was: “I have a very special set of skills to help you buy a brand new car.” Similarly, GIFs, with their visual and animated appeal, serve as an engaging way to relay messages and establish rapport, as seen with the Giphy.com resources Bradley recommended.   The Transformative Potential of Video Communication SEO Optimized Heading: Utilizing Video Emails and Calls for Higher Engagement In an era where visual content reigns supreme, Bradley underscored video communication's potency. Video emails, for instance, can significantly boost engagement rates. He mentioned, “video email increases read open rates up to 300%… once you've engaged, use video 100% of the time after engagement.” Video communication allows dealers to present a more personal touch, making interactions more memorable. By using video for appointment confirmations and follow-ups, dealerships can enhance the customer experience, making it more engaging and trustworthy. Bradley demonstrated this through examples of video email templates integrated into CRMs, showcasing their ease of use and impact. Moreover, leveraging Apple FaceTime, Skype, or Google Duo for live interactions offers a dynamic way to engage with prospects. Bradley justified this strategy, “People are not expecting to be FaceTimed or Skyped by a car salesman… you're really catching people way off guard.” This element of surprise can increase response rates and foster a more immediate connection.   Continuing Innovation and Personalized Customer Engagement Bradley's presentation highlighted the necessity of evolving beyond standard practices to thrive in automotive sales. By integrating AI for efficiency, leveraging diverse and unconventional communication mediums, and capitalizing on video technology's intimate appeal, dealerships can set themselves apart in a crowded market. The focus remains on engagement and conversion, with the primary goal being to create an enriched, responsive, and customer-centric sales environment. As Bradley articulated, “if you want the things that the average person doesn't have, you've got to be willing to do the things the average person isn't willing to do.” Incorporating these innovative strategies ensures dealerships not only stay abreast of technological advancements but also continually exceed customer expectations, driving sustained growth and success.

Ever wondered why so many people who start a podcast never really get any ROI on it?Today, I'm sharing a little known, but incredibly simple framework that will set you apart from your competition and better yet, just by following the framework you will probably own your niche in a very short amount of time.So what is this secret framework I'm referring to? I call it the Rule of 100.The Rule of 100 just says that when you undertake anything new in your business, you will not stop that activity until you've done it 100 times.Want to start emailing your list on a regular basis? Don't stop until you have created 100 emails. It doesn't matter what the stats say once you get started. You're only interested in looking at results after 100 emails. Nothing matters before then.Ready to start a podcast? In following The Rule of 100, you're now committed to 100 episodes. And nothing in the world will stop you until you publish 100 episodes.If you don't think this matters, just try implementing The Rule of 100 for your next endeavor. I guarantee that following this rule will have a positive impact on your business.So why is The Rule of 100 so powerful? Let's first take a look at the finer points of this rule. The Rule of 100 states that if you spend 100 hours a year, which is 18 minutes a day - in any discipline, you'll be better than 95% of the world, in that disciplineI want to share with you 3 reasons I believe the Rule of 100 is so powerful.By the time you've done something 100 times, or spent 100 hours doing it, you've probably outlasted all of your competition who quit when they didn't see results after the first week.As the rule states, by the time you've done 100 hours or 100 repetitions of a task, you've learned from all your mistakes and failures and you're very likely gong to be better than 95% of the population at that one thing.Something changes inside of you after 100 hours or 100 repetitions. You begin hitting your stride, and you gain a confidence because you've now done the work and feel much more confident. You won't recognize yourself on the back side of your 100. It's almost like you've transformed yourself into the expert you always knew you could be, and it's happened because you've put in your 100.Whether it's podcasting, marketing, or creating YouTube content, most people quit far too soon. And the truth is that in order to be great in your niche and in order to be a category king in your niche, most of the time you just have to outlast your competition. They will quit when it gets too hard. They will fold when it's too inconvenient. And those that carry on are left to scoop up all the business.My challenge to you today is to make the Rule of 100 your standard for how you will take on anything new. If you can't commit to 100 hours or 100 repetitions, then it's a hard no.If you like this content, please subscribe below and hit the notification bell.

What sets digital marketing agencies apart? How can you destroy your competition to succeed? Are you struggling to stand out in a crowded market? Do you want to crush your competition and become the go-to agency in your industry, but don't know where to start? What if I told you there's a way to separate your agency from everyone else? Whether it's an SEO, ecommerce, or email marketing agency, your agency can still sound like everyone else despite having a niche. Having a MeToo agency will only have you winning the race to the bottom. The next logical step after choosing a niche is finding ways to position your business as the top choice for clients. From crafting a unique value proposition to building a strong brand identity, you need to know how to set your agency apart from the competition. In this video, I'll share… How one agency transformed from a "Me Too" agency to an industry leader with a huge waitlist of clients that are willing to pay a premium for the best. Why your marketing isn't clear and how to fix it. I'm also going to show you the simple formula for developing an elevator pitch that makes people say where have you been all my life. My positioning script board that you can download and use to make your own marketing stand out. So, how can you be more competitive in such a crowded space? Let's about how to position your agency to stand out. Most digital agencies struggle with positioning in a way that truly resonates with their audience. Having unclear marketing leads to several bad things: Your clients won't know who you are. Nobody is clear on how you can help them. Your marketing campaigns fall short. Potential clients won't buy from your agency. It's frustrating because you know you have a great service to offer but you're talking to an empty room. Crush Your Competition With Marketing Messaging That Really Works Let me tell you about my friend Jose, who had an agency with a well-defined niche, but was converting at less than 20%. My first thought was to ask him about his elevator pitch, which was “We design websites for non-profits”... Clear, understandable, and to the point. However, the problem was that it only mentioned who he helped and what he did. No one cares what you do; they care what you can do for them. After thinking about the results his clients wanted and why, we came up with an elevator pitch that mentioned how they helped nonprofit clients achieve their goals of raising awareness and finding donors and volunteers. We walked him through our positioning scripts and came up with a new approach. The new elevator pitch was clear on who they actually helped, what they want, and why in just a couple of sentences. That agency is now dominating their niche.  The Positioning Script That Can Help You Reach the Top Our formula to help agency owners improve their positioning includes five questions. Ideally, you'll spend at least 10-15 minutes on each. You'll be ranking each of the provided options to answer: What does your client want? What is keeping your client from getting what they want? How does their problem make them feel? Why shouldn't people have to deal with this in the first place? What is the root cause of your problem? Once you have your answers, you can start following the script to tell a story and create your new elevator pitch. This is what we did with Jose and this is how you too can get the best results.

That's where great content comes in, which is our next step in the Attract Series.

Crushing your competition in the world of sales requires a combination of strategic thinking, customer-centricity, continuous learning, and adaptability. By developing a strong value proposition, understanding your target market, building relationships, embracing technology, delivering exceptional service, and analyzing your performance, you'll be well-equipped to surpass your competitors and achieve unparalleled success in sales. Remember, consistent effort, innovation, and a relentless drive to improve will position you as a top performer in the dynamic world of sales. Develop a Strong Value Proposition: One of the fundamental aspects of sales is understanding your product or service's unique value and effectively communicating it to potential customers. Invest time in identifying your unique selling points, benefits, and advantages over competitors. Craft a compelling value proposition that clearly articulates why customers should choose your offering. A well-defined value proposition helps you stand out and persuades customers to choose you over the competition. Know Your Target Market: To outperform your competition, you must thoroughly understand your target market. Conduct comprehensive market research to identify your ideal customers, their pain points, and their buying preferences. Utilize this information to tailor your sales approach, messaging, and strategies to resonate with your target audience. By aligning your offerings with their needs, you'll gain a competitive edge and increase your chances of success. Build Strong Relationships: Sales is not just about closing deals; it's about building lasting relationships with customers. Foster strong connections by actively listening to your clients, understanding their challenges, and offering tailored solutions. Be responsive, reliable, and provide exceptional customer service. By nurturing relationships, you'll create loyal customers who are more likely to refer you to others and remain committed to your brand, giving you an advantage over competitors. Continuous Skill Development: Sales techniques and strategies are constantly evolving. To stay ahead, commit to continuous learning and skill development. Attend sales training programs, seminars, and workshops to enhance your knowledge and refine your approach. Stay updated on industry trends, emerging technologies, and new sales methodologies. By constantly improving your skills, you'll be better equipped to adapt to changing market dynamics and outshine your competition. Leverage Technology: In today's digital age, technology plays a pivotal role in sales success. Utilize customer relationship management (CRM) software to effectively manage leads, track customer interactions, and streamline your sales processes. Embrace automation tools to eliminate repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on building relationships and closing deals. Leverage social media platforms, email marketing, and other digital channels to expand your reach, engage with prospects, and outmaneuver competitors in the online sphere. Differentiate Through Service: Exceptional customer service is a powerful tool to gain a competitive advantage. Go above and beyond to exceed customer expectations. Provide personalized attention, timely responses, and proactive support. Actively seek feedback and implement improvements based on customer input. By delivering an outstanding customer experience, you'll create advocates for your brand, attracting new customers and keeping competitors at bay. Analyze and Adapt: Regularly analyze your sales performance and measure your results. Identify areas of improvement, assess the effectiveness of your strategies, and adjust your approach accordingly. Embrace data-driven decision-making, leveraging analytics to understand customer behavior, sales trends, and market dynamics. By staying agile and adapting to changing circumstances, you can continuously refine your tactics and outpace your competition. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wayne-weathersby/support

Taking action is the only way to learn what really works. That does not mean you are the cornerstone of your success, or that more action taking will automatically lead to more results. What it does mean is that motion puts things in motion to move towards the results you dream of. You learn far more by doing than by watching, reading or listening. Best case scenario: Do all four, read, listen, watch, do. But if you have to lean into percentages, weigh toward the doing rather than perpetual learning, thinking or planning. Taking Massive Mini Action Actions do not to need to be massive. The biggest thing is the actual decision to make a move. That's where the massive implications play out. Most often the actions themselves are quite obvious and natural. They may not be easy, but they are natural, not alien. I'm sure you have heard the favourite saying in entrepreneurial circles, “take massive action.” Usually what it means is “take a massive chunk out of your bank account and buy my course, coaching, or service.” But most of the time, and this coming from someone who has spent over $30,000 on training and coaching this year alone, what we need is not more training, it's doing the things we have already trained in.

Ryan Daniel Moran has been called an Amazon Expert and is well-known for his ability to maximize profits by creating raving fans, not just customers. Ryan believes that entrepreneurs and business owners are best positions to go out and make the change they want to see. He believes that entrepreneurs can execute faster and more effectively than many major brands. In this episode, Ryan shares his “12 Months to 1 Million” strategy, the two functions every business should have, and great customer management techniques. How To Create Raving Fans Ryan clarifies that just selling a product should not be the end goal for businesses who want to create a strong brand loyalty, or what he calls “raving fans.” His emphasis is that business owners have to shift their mindset from managing products to managing customers. If done correctly, he says, internet entrepreneurs can build a business with repeat customers, as well as rank new products much faster. The Two Functions of a Business The function of a business is not to sell products, says Ryan. According to Peter Drucker, getting customers and keeping customers are the two things businesses need to focus on. Listen to this episode to hear how Ryan offers tested strategies that accomplish those two goals. In this episode, He talks about the importance of creating a backend process by which to capture customer information, and how external links back to your Amazon products can increase your ranking in a very short amount of time. He also gives several suggestions on how to better engage customers. How “Punting” your payday may be the most valuable thing you can do In this episode, Ryan talks about the instinct to see product sales as the win, and how the desire to “cash a paycheck” may be hurting some internet entrepreneurs. He offers instead the idea of “Punting your paycheck” to help your business grow. This means shifting profits and focus on what happens to the customer after they have received your product. From Buyer's clubs, Opt-ins, private Facebook groups and Amazon channels that target your specific audience, Ryan's insight in this area is a must for anyone selling online. Creating a Launch-Like Experience In this episode, Ryan explains that rankings and product placements online can dramatically shift for the better if a few simple actions are followed. From generating hundreds of product reviews in a short amount of time to increasing sales, Ryan says creating a launch-like experience allows new or seemingly unknown products to surge ahead of the competition, even when those products are offered by big brands. In this episode, he walks through the process in just a few easy steps, so be sure you listen.
