For many small business owners, all it takes is a shift in mindset to see dramatic change. And on today's episode of the MORE podcast, Ricardo is joined by someone who knows exactly how to facilitate that change. Joe Siecinski, co-founder and owner of BrainSHARE, helps businesses become profitable enterprises, and today he's going to share what he knows. Building a system is like building a house - you need a blueprint and a foundation. Until you have a foundation, it's difficult to determine your target market, USP, and strategic marketing. Joe helps companies lay these bricks to build profitable businesses that grow. Anyone can utilize this framework to embrace change. Businesses floating around the 10M mark usually see more success because they've learned some of the challenges associated with their companies. (In his experience, you aren't ready to learn until you get some scars.) But his teachings apply to everyone, and the specific levels might not be as relevant for you, depending on your ultimate career goals. BrainSHARE offers a beginner, intermediate, and advanced stage. Joe started the beginning level as the foundation that builds up depending on where the client is at the moment. Best of all, he created his framework into bite-sized chunks so anyone can easily digest the information. There are practical applications with Joe's system: When we break our modalities and think strictly in terms of operations, sales, or marketing, we're going to fail. Entrepreneurs need to be adaptable and need to see the whole picture. If you just look at one or two pieces of a puzzle, it won't make sense. You have to use the whole picture as a guide. Joe's final takeaway? Set short, medium, and long-term goals, and celebrate when you achieve them! Your business is meant to support your personal life, not BE your personal life. Joe's Book and Podcast Recommendations: Secrets of Question-Based Selling by Thomas Freese The Goal by Eliyahu M. Goldratt Profit First by Mike Michalowicz Slicing Pie by Mike Moyer And anything by John Maxwell (like The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership.) Most importantly, check out Joe's book, Brainshare: What Small Business Owners Need To Think About! Joe is offering listeners a free consultation to anyone, and his system is available by visiting brainshare.online. Joe is also offering a gift certificate to a podcast listener!

SHOW NOTESSDR Chronicles-In 2014, inspired by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Morgan decided he needed to begin building a personal brand so he posted a video to Facebook.-He continued to make videos and this evolved to live streaming and then eventually to the creation of a YouTube channel.-After seeing Gary Vaynerchuk's keynote speech emphasizing the power of building your own brand at 2016's Rainmaker conference, he began the SDR Chronicles.Mastering Video-Not only did he continually create videos, Morgan studied the best video content creators and reached out to their audiences to get a better grasp as to why people wanted to watch them.-Morgan came to the conclusion that great creators were open, concise, told a story, and left you with something actionable. They were able to find a balance between being true to themselves and creating content that resonated with their audience.-You don't need fancy equipment. While it's nice, the most important aspect is that you talk about something that you care about. This is what people will connect with.Video for Sales-When selling, think about your video as a movie trailer: if the trailer is good people will want to move forward and watch the movie, or in the sales industry, move forward with a discovery call.-Keep your video to 90 seconds or less and use a repeatable formula. Morgan starts by laying out the reason for the video, mentioning a trigger or problem the audience is going through, defining a solution, and then ending with a call to action.-Remember to smile and have a nice background.Sales Background-After graduating with degrees in Sports Management and Finance, Morgan realized the world of being a sports agent was not for him so he began public speaking.-While speaking was a passion and he began to be paid, it wasn't making a ton of money, so he turned to sales.-While attending an event in Atlanta a friend mentioned a company that had just been funded and Morgan cold-called the VP of Sales. He eventually interviewed for an SDR position.Heroes-While people admire superheroes, it's hard to connect with someone that's perfect. We adore the people that we see as heroes, but that are vulnerable and show us what's happening behind the scenes.-What drives Morgan is creating impact. With the SDR Chronicles he wanted to create something that he needed while working as an SDR.Resources-The SDR Chronicles-Secrets of Question Based Selling by Thomas FreeseSend in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/othersideofsales/messageSupport this podcast: https://anchor.fm/othersideofsales/support

Takeaways Remind Prospects of Their Priorities: When you’re talking with a prospect and seem to be slipping or losing ground, it’s your responsibility to remind them of why they’re even in the conversation to begin with. Ask them questions that harken back to the pains they’ve divulged, the goals they’ve shared, and try to dig into the emotional side of their brain. Remember, they are the ones that have the problem, not you. Email Should Not Look Automated: With nearly everyone trying to use some sort of automation these days, it’s very important to humanize your outreach. By that, I mean you should make it to the point that with every email you send, literally no one else could have been sent the same message. Some of the things Gabe mentioned and that I’ve seen work as well are: all lowercase subject lines, super short messages that get right to the point, any kind of personalization, and yes, even misspellings from time to time. Tailor Your Words, Tone, and Body Language: How people interpret you is guided by their social environment and background. What you think a word means could be received completely different by someone who grew up in another part of the country. Additionally, tone, the way you say something, can also change the meaning behind the words you say. It some circumstances it can even change heart rate and body language. These are things to keep an eye on while having conversations with prospects to make sure what you’re meaning to do is received how you’re expecting it.
