But most aren't as systematic or successful after the transaction.Amy Stockberger solved this problem with margarita machines (among other tools and supplies!). In this conversation, Amy walks us through a system that serves your clients, vendors, local employers, and agents - all at the same time. She designed it to turn one client into five, transform her database into a "databank," and create “clients for life” (rather than “past clients”). The 20 agents with Amy Stockberger Real Estate each close an average of 20 units per year and have a seven-year average on the team. For years they've been the top team in their market, achieving a 10% market share (with a goal of 15%) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.Watch or listen to this conversation with Amy Stockberger for insights into:- Operationalizing a service-first mindset- Doing 15-20 open houses per weekend on a diet of beef jerky, sunflower seeds, and Mountain Dew- Identifying a “major hole” in her team's business (and in the industry)- Knowing where your closings come from (link to free resource below!)- Developing the Lifetime Home Support system to serve clients for life- Logistics behind moving trucks, party supplies, and a tool shed your clients can book at any time (in a way that drives agent reviews, agent referrals, and vendor partnerships)- Tips for building, monetizing, and generating leads from your vendor program (they're at $3,500/year with about 100 vendors - DM her “Ethan” on Instagram for a guide)- Adjusting your business model toward a better exit planAt the end, learn about traveling to see the Red Sox, cutting down on color printing, and leveraging other people's audiences.Get the DataBANK Developer (including tips on vendor programs): - https://www.instagram.com/amystockberger/ (DM her the word “Ethan”)Get the Source Code System (to track ROI by lead source):  - https://adobe.ly/4efGkS1Amy Stockberger:- https://www.amystockberger.com/- https://lifetimehomesupport.com/Real Estate Team OS:- https://www.realestateteamos.com- https://linktr.ee/realestateteamos- https://www.instagram.com/realestateteamos/

The Business of You with Rachel Gogos

Working with customers that have already been in your pipeline is a great way to grow your business because satisfied customers become repeat buyers. Exceptional service builds trust and loyalty.  When customers feel valued and appreciated, they are more likely to return and recommend your business to others. Consistency is key.  Over-delivering on promises and consistently meeting or surpassing expectations solidifies your reputation as a dependable and trustworthy partner. This builds a strong emotional connection with your customers, making them not just consumers of your product or service, but advocates for your brand. Ongoing engagement keeps your brand top of mind. Whether it's through regular check-ins, personalized follow-ups, or soliciting feedback, staying connected demonstrates your commitment to customer satisfaction. Positive experiences serve as powerful endorsements, attracting new customers through referrals and word-of-mouth marketing. By prioritizing exceptional service, consistently exceeding expectations, and fostering meaningful communication, your business can cultivate a loyal customer base that forms the bedrock of your success. Quotes “Do an amazing job, over-deliver, surprise and delight people along the way, and make sure you're leaving them with a feeling that makes them want to sing your praises from the rooftops.”  “At the very beginning, ask them what a win looks like.”  “You want to keep your network warm.” “When you've had a great engagement with someone and ended on a high note, you know, they're going to be advocates for you.” “If you check in with someone six months, a year, after you've already served them, and they're happy with what they've gotten, Imagine how just a real simple little check in whether it's a text message or an email and how far along that will go.”  “It's just like another way of loving your customers and, and wanting the best for them and wanting to see them succeed.” “I've actually often said that we need a therapist on our team at times to work with our clients.”  “Having worked in a restaurant for many years, in my early days, has given me great ability to really read people. And also to really deeply listen to people. Sometimes people just need to be heard, like, really heard.” “I always go back to intentions, you know, if your intentions are good, and the people you're working with, you know, their intentions are good, then yeah, people have crappy days here and there. And the communication might feel a little wonky, but just let it go. It's not worth getting caught up in. ” “There tend to be themes around the challenges people feel, so coming up with something that can be very helpful to people that have already worked with you. It's just again, like such a nice little surprise gift to people.”  “Another thing you can do is offer a referral program. You can offer past clients incentives to refer business to you.”  “You can always go direct to your customers and ask them, “what do you need?” Even just reaching out and asking those questions is a way to warm up a past relationship”

Customer delight is instrumental in cultivating robust client relationships, fostering loyalty, and nurturing repeat business, thereby driving heightened client satisfaction and business expansion. In this microsode, Rachel is joined by Jenna Evans, the Brand Concierge and Account Manager at The brandiD, to explore the pivotal role of customer delight in business triumph. Jenna's approach underscores empathy, active listening, and personalized communication, recognizing the imperative of comprehending each client's unique needs, preferences, and communication style. Moreover, the significance of personal and engaging interactions, coupled with thoughtful gestures such as personalized gifts, cannot be overstated in enhancing customer satisfaction. Furthermore, customer delight contributes to employee satisfaction and engagement by empowering team members to take ownership and deliver exceptional service, fostering a culture of commitment and accountability. While quantifying the ROI of customer delight presents challenges, its substantial impact on The brandiD's success is undeniable, evident in elevated client retention, increased referrals, and bolstered brand reputation.  Investing in customer relationships and consistently exceeding expectations holds enduring value for sustainable business growth. Find out how it's done… Quotes "First and foremost, I listen and I make sure that I understand as clearly as I can from their perspective, what they are experiencing, and then I evaluate how I can help them either solve problems or navigate through a challenging time, or listen to what excites them and what motivates them. And then I find ways during our experience to accentuate those things so that they feel heard and seen." "So we had another client that came in. And we were just going to do some light refreshing to her website, and we ended up working so well together with her and her team that we built a friendship and a really solid relationship. And throughout that relationship  I would bring up, “we offer marketing services, you know, retainer services. Have you ever thought of growing this part of your website?” So I will interject thoughts that are appropriate for them and for their business. That really would make an impact because it's authentic."   "Jenna is the best shopper of unique gifts online. So, we always find a way to to thank [referrals] with something that might be special to them." "As a business owner, I can spend an hour with a client and it can get costly when you have a scope of work. So I think that prioritizing that when you are budgeting a project, knowing that will add value to the relationship and have that client come back to you and do more work with you. You factor all those things in when you're estimating your project or the price of your product and know that it is a very important part of your longevity and your customer's experience."

Small business lead generation can be tough, time-consuming, and expensive. But it doesn't have to be. Once you identify who your top target audience is and what problems they have, you can get potential clients to contact you when they need help.Every small business is the proverbial “Needle in the Haystack,” so small business lead generation is critical to an entrepreneur's survival. And the better your sales team gets at lead generation, the faster your small business will grow into a big business. You need to create a strategy for finding new leads that become new customers.Remember, it is a lot easier to turn a prospect or lead into a customer if the lead calls you versus when you call them. It cracks me up when I hear titles of articles, seminars, or books about how to “Make Effective Cold Calls” or how to “Warm Up Cold Calls.” Below are a few best practices that each is a great way of generating leads without an email list, a newsletter, or really, without ever having to make a cold call.However, just like we covered in How to Network at Business Networking Events, business-to-consumer sales and business-to-business sales are totally different. So, developing qualified leads for consumers is totally different than generating qualified leads that are other businesses. So, as we go through the process, I'll give examples of each type of lead generation strategy.Here is an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process for Small Business Lead Generation:Before You Spend Time or Money on Small Business Lead Generation, Identify Who Your Target Market Is and What Problems They Have.Create Brand Awareness by Posting Your Solutions to These Problems in Blog Posts and on Social Media Platforms.Catalog Your Small Business Success with Case Studies and Sharing Customer Successes.The Generate New Customers for Small Businesses, Focus on Referrals and Repeat Business.If You Have to Cold Call in the Digital Age, Call to a Targeted List Who Already Knows You.

Rich has pioneered a unique path for businesses to maximize growth and revenue potential by returning to the fundamental truth of the customer experience – that customers are people first and customers second.  Today, Dan and Rich discuss Rich's people-first approach to customer service, how his time at ADP influenced his ideas for shifting how businesses can enrich the customer experience, the ins and outs of his book,  The Endangered Customer: 8 Steps to Guarantee Repeat Business, and how the lessons from his book are applicable to all forms of relationships.  Notable Quotes “The strongest bond in any relationship or business is between two people. Whether you have an e-commerce business or have a brick-and-mortar store or a medical practice – it's all about the 1:1 relationships. People like to feel like somebody else really cares about them, and you can't really care about someone unless you get to know them.” (1:01:29) In This Episode (02:50) Richard's story - from his father's partner to trailblazing a new approach to the customer experience (06:38) Human connection in the corporate world (13:15) The evolution of the customer experience throughout the decades (19:32) Meaningful relationships are a pillar of the customer experience (26:24) The levels of customer service using a people-first approach (30:05) Richard breaks down his 8-step process for building brand loyalty (36:07) Using the invite to return instead of saying no to the customer.  (39:48) Treating customers like people even in frustrating situations to build trust (43:20) The 8 steps are all about relationships (51:01) Richard's personal growth in building relationships using his 8-step process  (55:20) Genuine curiosity and sincerity are a necessity for building relationships (58:45) The key to customer service: people are people, not transactions About Richard Richard Shapiro is the Founder and President of The Center For Client Retention (TCFCR). He is an author and mentor with expertise in brand loyalty, customer experience, and customer retention. His upbringing, paired with his time in the corporate world, shaped Richard's ideas for how powerful the customer experience is for improving customer retention. Richard believes by taking a people-first customer–second approach, customers will enter your business as a stranger but leave as a friend, eager to return. Richard is a renowned author of books such as “The Endangered Customer: 8 Steps to Guarantee Repeat Business” and “The Welcomer Edge: Unlocking the Secrets to Repeat Business.” Richard enjoys making new friends, mentoring others, and doing architectural tours.

When choosing KPIs, always start by defining who the customer is.  So the next logical step is to figure out what the customer is looking for.   A common mistake I see all the time is that KPIs are set as Customer KPIs when in fact the customer doesn't value that measurement and benefits nothing from it. For example, a sales department crafted a few customer KPIs:  $ Value if Gross Profit  % Gross Profit  $ Value if Annuity Business  $Cost of Customer returns    From the above examples, you can see that the customer has received no benefit from these.    Instead we should be asking how would the customer want to measure you as a supplier?    The answer to that question would like very different:  # of returned shipments due to Poor quality  # Mistakes on documentation  % Variance to lowest product price  % Product returned for Poor Quality  % Due Date met  # Avg time from order to Delivery  # Executive Engagements  % Net Promoter Score  Can you see the difference?   All of these KPIs are of value to the Customer and right now your customer might be measuring you on the achievement of them.    There are 3 Value propositions which we can discuss    Value for money (or a no frills offering)  Customers want a product quality that is fit-for-purpose and where the delivery is predictable.  It must be relatively easy to do business with you and there doesn't need to be a huge variety of products to choose from. The price needs to be competitive even  if it's not the lowest. Price will, however, become a discussion point if quality and delivery are lacking.  In times like these customers want a great offering at a great price. They love champagne, but invariably only have money for beer.  There are world-class companies that do this such as Walmart, Toyota, Macdonald's.  70% of my customer are looking for the price as the #1 value driver    KPIs    % Repeat Business  % On time and In full deliveries  #Average order lead time  % Credit Note to Sales    The trick for you is to ensure you measure the same in your internal systems.      2. One stop shop  This is the Customer Solutions model. You supply the customer with many  customized products and services and can be integrated into their supply chain.  Relationships on the ground are key as you increase the mix of services to product.  Companies that do this well include Microsoft and IBM,.  20 to25%    KPIs  % Contract renewals  Value of Referral Business  % Customer Satisfaction – you can use some sort of survey to get this information  % Net Promotor Score  Value of ROI from Joint Customer Initiatives      3. Product Leadership      Product leadership means providing cutting edge premium products. They are not to be confused with fit-for-purpose quality products as they have a much higher and superior quality and, perform at a much higher level.  Suppliers of leading products should earn a superior margin in order to service the additional costs these products require,   such as innovation costs,   research costs,   handling costs and,   branding costs.   In addition, be wary of launching innovation projects that aren't led by customer data as this can cause an unnecessary reallocation of resources away from productive and profitable activities.  Companies that do this include Mercedes Benz, BMW, Apple, Gucci Clothing.  5to10%    KPIs   # Innovation Awards  % Brand Awareness  # Average Ranking in Product Reviews  # New features per annum  # Average score in independent reviews      The trick for you is to ensure you measure the same in your internal systems.    Tip  Make sure your Customers would value your  Customer KPIs

For the last few years, the asset class that’s been all the rage is multi-family housing. But I’m here to tell you, my friends, there’s a new king of the hill. You’ll find out what it is RIGHT NOW in I’m Bryan Ellis. This is Episode #321 of Self-Directed Investor Talk.----Hello, Self-Directed Investors, all across the fruited plane. Welcome to Episode #321 of Self-Directed Investor Talk, the SHOW OF RECORD for savvy self-directed investors like you. Guess what’s going to happen today? Well, I’m going to help you to find, understand and profit from exceptional alternative investing strategies and opportunities… so buckle up!So, the telephone rings, and I recognize this guy’s name. He’s a friend, a fellow investor, and someone whose judgment I trust quite strongly. He’s the kind of guy that when he says “I’ve got a deal”, if you’re smart, what you say in response is “where do I send the money”.So I picked up the phone, earnestly hoping that one of his life-changing opportunities awaited But that’s not what he said, this time. Instead, what he says, is this: I’ve got TWO deals… and instantly, I know this is going to be my lucky day.I’m going to tell you about those two deals and why you should keep your ears open for similar opportunities for yourself. In fact, it may even sound to you, as I describe these deals to you, that I’m trying to sell YOU on investing in these deals with us.Nope. We’re closing on both of them with our own money, because both of these are just too sweet to turn down. But I can tell you, with some confidence, that you’re going to wish you were in on this when you hear about it. Who knows, we may raise capital for these deals so we can get some of our money back out to find even more of them… but we may just keep them… they’re that good. If you’re already on my investor waiting list, I’ll let you know if we decide to make this available. And if you’re not already on my waiting list, and if you are liquid for atleast $100,000 - then you probably want to get on that list right away. Just text me at 833-212-2112 and ask to get on the waiting list and I’ll take care of you.So what is this spectacular asset class?Oh now… surely you can venture a guess? Think with me… the biggest demographic phenomemon of the last 60 years… the BABY BOOM generation… they’re retiring at the rate of about 10,000 people per day. A whole lot of them have MONEY, and lots of it. And all of their kids and grandchildren have spread out all over the country. What are these people doing? They’re buying RV’s - in MASSIVE volumes - and taking their home with them all over the country.So what opportunity does this create for me and you… and what is the ACTUAL opportunity that my friend reached out to me about?RV parks, baby! Imagine the benefits of owning a hotel… where you get a very, very high rental price for a very, very small portion of real estate… but you do NOT have to think about things like laundry or furniture or linens or any of the things that makes a hotel so very expensive to establish, operate and own.Instead, what you’re renting out is, essentially, a piece of concrete. A small piece of concrete, where your customers bring THEIR OWN bed and THEIR OWN furniture and THEIR OWN linens. All you do is provide them with a hookup for electricity and water and, if you’re smart, some great amenities, and what do you have? You have a situation where you’re collecting hotel-like nightly rental rates in exchange for a service that is FAR LESS EXPENSIVE and SO MUCH EASIER to provide than with a hotel.But there’s another HUGE benefit to RV parks… lots of them, actually. And this one explains why, we are expecting, conservatively, an internal rate of return of 15-20%+. That benefit is REPEAT BUSINESS! You see, we know, as a sociological fact, that people who use RV parks are, by and large, very habitual in their behavior. Once they find an RV park that they like, chances are they’ll come back every year or two over and over and over again…...and that means not only are the profits in this business VERY HIGH, but they can also be incredibly CONSISTENT.Both of the deals that we’re buying and closing on in the next two weeks are actually ALREADY very profitable… and the REALLY beautiful thing is this: A little money spent wisely goes a REALLY LONG WAY with RV parks. There are two examples I want to share with you, both of which will ABSOLUTELY blow your mind… you’ll see why we are SO UTTERLY THRILLED with this asset class.But before I share those two examples with you, think about this name: Sam Zell. Sam Zell is a LEGENDARY real estate investor, Bloomberg pegs his net worth at $4.4 BILLION. Zell started and currently owns a very large percentage of several publicly-traded REITs - kind of like a mutual fund for real estate investments - and each of those REITs are focused on different real estate segments like commercial real estate, multi-family and… surprise, surprise… RV parks and mobile home parks. And guess which one is outperforming the others? According to a recent story in BisNow.com, the answer is no surprise at all: Zell’s RV parks are CRUSHING the results from commercial real estate, multifamily and every other real estate sector.As for those two examples of how an investor can easily spend a TINY amount of money in an RV park and get that money back entirely very, very, very quickly… you’re just going to be bowled over, my friends.Unfortunately, we’re short of time today, so I’ll tell you those two things tomorrow, so be sure that you have SUBSCRIBED to Self-Directed Investor Talk in Apple Podcasts or whatever podcast system you use.If you’d like for me to send you a notice when I release that episode so you are sure you don’t miss it, just drop a quick text to me at 833-212-2112 and let me know.I’ll look forward to pulling back the curtain for you a little more tomorrow, my friends… and I’ll even give you my advice on how YOU can get involved in this incredibly, incredibly attractive asset class yourself… maybe even using the money in your IRA or 401(k), so don’t miss it!My friends… invest wisely today and live well forever!

You may not call them ‘customers.’ They may be your clients, service users, patients, subscribers, volunteers, buyers, members, fans, students, colleagues… but they’re all customers by another name. As business owners, understanding our customers (and prospective customers) is invaluable. My guest today is customer service expert and trainer, Rebecca Winn. Rebecca spent seven years working in a complaints handling center and it's fair to say she's picked up more than a thing or two. In this episode, Rebecca shares Three Customer Needs we simply must meet if we’re going to turn an unhappy customer's frown upside down. Better than that, by applying these principles, you're more likely to win REPEAT BUSINESS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND REFERRALS – the easiest way to grow our business and LOVE what we do.

Could going back to the “old school” marketing strategies work better than anything else? I believe so and I'm not alone. Marketing and lead generation to get to the kitchen table isn't getting any cheaper. That's why it's so important to leverage the customers that already know you, like you, and trust you. Using this marketing tool will help you generate repeat business, more referrals, and a higher return on investment than any cold leads you generate. You're going to learn why my system works and how to start doing it on your own. HINT: There's a lot less competition using this “old school” marketing strategy.
