Today - John talks about the economy continuing to reel under the Trump regime, the deal he is making for a ceasefire in Ukraine with Putin, and his new Tesla commercial he made for First Lady Elon Musk in front of the White House. Then, he welcomes back Professor Corey Brettschneider to talk about the illegal ICE arrest of activist Mahmoud Kalil, a former student at Columbia University and researcher in machine learning at the University of Connecticut. Next, he interviews political scientist and election forecaster turned political strategist - Rachel Bitecofer to discuss the growing Trump resistance and her new book "Hit 'Em Where It Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game". And finally, John chats with Jessica Denson who is known for her pioneering legal work invalidating Trump's infamous and illegal NDA in court. In the Lights On podcast, Jessica has made it her mission to expose the lies and demand accountability for would-be dictators in America. On March 14th, Jessica is joining thousands of Americans in Washington DC for a protest against the looming tyranny of the Trump/Musk administration – inspired to march on the Capitol by the words of the 14th Amendment:“No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Rachel Bitecofer is a political scientist and election forecaster turned political strategist. Her most recent book is Hit 'Em Where it Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game. We discuss why it's time for Democratic Party candidates to embrace negative partisanship in their campaigns.   Half of America's electorate doesn't vote – even in the most consequential elections – because they aren't interested in politics. The Knight Foundation took a very large sample survey of non voters and discovered that the most commonly cited reason for not voting is lack of interest. The US has raised and created a political culture that encourages lack of civic participation and views politics as dirty. Turning the tide on disinterest and bolstering American democracy must include fixing the civic culture.

Rachel Bitecofer, author of the new book Hit 'Em Where It Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game, joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V. Ganeshananthan to talk shop about the election strategies Democrats should implement to combat Republicans and prevent fascism. Bitecofer discusses how Republicans use “negative partisanship” to win elections by slamming Democrats as a whole, and argues that Democrats must turn the tables and attack the GOP's now-extremist brand, which poses an urgent threat to Americans. Bitecofer reads from a section of Hit 'Em Where it Hurts that describes what it means to “wedge” an issue, and talks about how Democrats can do this.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

Please note that there's some pretty salty language in this episode.   Our conversation with political scientist Rachel Bitecofer was originally released on 8/31/22. Rachel has been a strong voice on saving our democracy and her new book, “Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game," was released in Feb 2023. Given how important her message is, we decided to re-release her episode.    This was a milestone episode for us. Sherry has admired Rachel Bitecofer's work from behind her Twitter screen for years.  When she used that same screen to ask Rachel to join us on the podcast, we were both thrilled she said yes.     We are even more thrilled with the conversation we got to have with Rachel. Like most of us, she's had a bumpy road to get to where she is today: a well respected political scientist, polling expert, and commentator who has appeared in the NY Times Opinion pages, on The Daily Show, and in many other publications. But it took her a while to figure it out. After following the Grateful Dead around for a while, she did find out what her “thing” was and enrolled in a junior college. And how did she figure it out?  She paid attention to what was fun. Lucky for us, politics was fun for her, and the rest of us are better because of it. Please listen in to Rachel's perfectly imperfect journey, not to mention her uproariously funny sense of humor.     As long as I get to experience life, I'm pretty happy.  ~ Rachel Bitecofer   Bio Rachel Bitecofer. Ph.D. is a political scientist and election forecaster turned political strategist. Her interviews and analysis have been featured by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Salon, Politico, The New Republic, Real Time with Bill Maher, CNN, MSNBC and many other prominent news sources. Rachel was recognized for her novel theory that predicted the size of the “Blue Wave” in the 2018 midterm elections much earlier than other forecasters. She then used her methodology to anticipate that Democrats would recapture the presidency in 2020, more than a year out from the election. Known as The Election Whisperer, Rachel “The Doc” Bitecofer offers hold-no-punches political commentary and has become a sought-after political strategist. She earned a Ph.D. in political science and international affairs from the University of Georgia.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week on the What's Next! Podcast, I'm looking back at a conversation I had with Peter Fader, professor of Marketing at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the co-founder of Zodiac.   Peter's expertise centers on the analysis of behavioral data to understand and forecast customer shopping and purchasing activities. His insights are reflected in his great book, Customer Centricity.     Customer centricity is one thing. Using customer lifetime value as a corporate valuation metric is an entirely different thing. Peter and several of his students produced some groundbreaking research recently which is turning Wall Street's quarterly predictions on their head. Peter and his team analyzed Dish Networks, Overstock.com, Wayfair and Blue Apron using the public data provided to investors.  They came up with company valuations that within 3-5% difference of the forecasts Wall Street was making.    Next, as a fun academic exercise, his students created forecasts for the next 4 quarters using various statistical methods. Peter compared his students' numbers to Dish's quarterly numbers and noticed two things: (1) the students were within .5% of the number that Dish announced, and (2) the Wall Street analysts were off by about 10%.     His hope is that the CFO will be just as interested in this bottom-up analysis, and it will create a dialogue with the marketers that just ordinarily doesn't happen.     THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… anybody who wants to learn how to use customer lifetime value (CLV) as a corporate valuation metric.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… Peter and his current and former students are doing tremendous work calculating CLV and what it means for companies' future growth potential. One groundbreaking way the team is discovering this economic value is by understanding how Wall Street forecasts a company's worth in the stock market by looking at the data rather than using intuition, which is often how Wall Street analysts are doing their job.     WHAT  I  LOVE  MOST… Peter's work shows—through raw data—that companies truly need to master customer lifetime value. As customer experience becomes an emphasis for many companies, understanding which customers to focus on will become even more important. It isn't possible to deliver high-touch, high-value customer service to everyone. Brands must become much more prescriptive in who they serve and with what level of support.     Running Time: 33:45   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani on Social: Facebook Twitter LinkedIn   Find Peter on Social: LinkedIn  Twitter    Peter's Book: Customer Centricity   Peter's Article: ​​How Wharton Marketing Students Beat Wall Street Analysts at Their Own Game

“We don't need weapons of war on our streets.”“We need to ban assault rifles.” “We need universal background checks.” “America's gun culture is killing our children.”As part of my reporting on the subject of guns in America, I've interviewed folks who voiced these above narratives – people who believe that more gun regulations are necessary to combat the violence in our streets, and that we need to legislate a nationwide ban on assault rifles. I've also talked with folks who believe that “it's the person behind the weapon, not the weapon itself” that's the problem. And that banning assault rifles is analogous to outlawing a Corvette to combat drunk driving. And both have a point.  In today's episode, I sat down with two gun enthusiasts who shared their expertise on the subject of firearms legislation and why attempting to ban assault rifles is not in the best interest of our country. And after hearing them out, I now believe that we're closer to a remedy than our current cultural and political divide would have us believe.Watch Episode:Kevin Ryan is the CEO and founder of Motivity Marketing, Inc and a bestselling author.

Market sentiment is in a hairy place.  Every day costs are rising, people are worried and purse strings are being pulled tighter.   So how can you make sure you're not leaving any money on the table?   Well, from [...] CONTINUE READING The post Episode 406 | How to Beat the Banks at Their Own Game appeared first on The Property Couch.

Please note that there's some pretty salty language in this episode. This is a milestone episode for us. Sherry has admired Rachel Bitecofer's work from behind her Twitter screen for years.  When she used that same screen to ask Rachel to join us on the podcast, we were both thrilled she said yes.   We are even more thrilled with the conversation we got to have with Rachel. Like most of us, she's had a bumpy road to get to where she is today: a well respected political scientist, polling expert, and commentator who has appeared in the NY Times Opinion pages, on The Daily Show, and in many other publications. But it took her a while to figure it out. After following the Grateful Dead around for a while, she did find out what her “thing” was, and enrolled in a junior college, and ultimately got her Ph.D. And how did she figure it out?  She paid attention to what was fun. Lucky for us, politics was fun for her, and the rest of us are better because of it. Please listen in to Rachel's perfectly imperfect journey, not to mention her uproariously funny sense of humor.     As long as I get to experience life, I'm pretty happy.  ~ Rachel Bitecofer Bio Rachel Bitecofer. Ph.D. is a political scientist and election forecaster turned political strategist. Her interviews and analysis have been featured by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Salon, Politico, The New Republic, Real Time with Bill Maher, CNN, MSNBC and many other prominent news sources. Rachel was recognized for her novel theory that predicted the size of the “Blue Wave” in the 2018 midterm elections much earlier than other forecasters. She then used her methodology to anticipate that Democrats would recapture the presidency in 2020, more than a year out from the election. Known as The Election Whisperer, Rachel “The Doc” Bitecofer offers hold-no-punches political commentary and has become a sought-after political strategist. She earned a Ph.D. in political science and international affairs from the University of Georgia. Rachel hosts the political podcast The Cycle, on Substack and works directly with Democratic candidates and organizations, including Matters of State Strategies, as a political strategist. Rachel's book, “Hit ‘Em Where It Hurts: How to Save Democracy by Beating Republicans at Their Own Game," co-authored with Aaron Murphy, was recently acquired by Crown Publishing and will drop in 2023. Previously, she served as a senior fellow at the Niskanen Center, a centrist think-tank in Washington, D.C., a senior advisor to The Lincoln Project, and a Lecturer in Political Science at Christopher Newport University, where she conducted and analyzed polling for the Wason Center of Public Policy. Rachel lives in Oregon and tweets prolifically to more than 140,000 followers from @rachelbitecofer. Website: https://thecycle.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/RachelBitecofer

For the past decade, Michael Wade, professor of innovation and strategy at IMD Business School, and his co-authors studied the thought process of inventors, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and artists. The product of this collaboration is the book A.L.I.E.N. Thinking: The Unconventional Path To Breakthrough Ideas. Wade and his colleagues learned that these people's out-of-the-world ideas helped them to make leaps and bounds in discovering game-changing solutions. In this episode, Michael talks about the five patterns of thinking that distinguish these innovators from the rest of us. He shares how Attention, Levitation, Imagination, Experimentation, and Navigation—make for a fresh and flexible approach to problem-solving. Find out how to free your imagination and detect hard-to-observe patterns. Episode Quotes:Was this book intended to be more general, since most of your books are about digital transformation? Throughout your career as a professor and researcher, do you see yourself becoming more generalist in your approach?I think probably Greg it's the opposite with me. I had a very traditional academic career path. I was a professor in the MIS area. Way back when I was really interested in digital things before it was called digital. But I did find, I have to tell you, that I felt a little bit constrained in a traditional university environment. Where, you know, you're pigeonholed into a department, and my department was the MIS department. So if I wanted to do marketing, strategy, or leadership, I was locked out to a certain extent.How can keeping people outside their comfort zone help them become motivated to learn and energized?And that's one of the reasons we chose the metaphor of the alien because you can imagine Greg, an alien comes down to earth. That alien sees everything for the first time. And so, everything's new. But we lose that. We completely lose that. So, you know, the expression 'déjà vu'? So, déjà vu is, you look at something, you think I've seen that before. I'm sure I've seen that before. You get that sense of déjà vu. We want people to have the opposite of that.Thoughts on rest, levitating and taking time off to reflectThe L is a fun one. It's also a bit counterintuitive. This idea of levitating and levitating is all about —you talked about zoom in, zoom out before — it's about timeout and time off. We just do not give our minds enough time to disengage. I'll ask a question, an open question. How many of you take your phones into the toilet with you? It's probably a shockingly high number. You don't; we don't even give ourselves those two and a half minutes of time for our mind just to reflect.How do we lose our ability to exercise our imagination and creativity? You know, all kids are imaginative. They have great imaginations. But you know, life tends to beat it out of us. School beats it out of us. Our careers beat it out of us. And eventually, there's not much left. I think it was George Bernard Shaw who said, “We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.”Time Code Guide:00:02:30 Experience at IMD: Thoughts on not having core interests and not being caged within a department00:03:51 Do you think that working with real executives and companies rather than startups help shape your thinking to see real obstacles and become an alien thinker?00:07:32 How the book can help readers who just joined immersive work experiences stay motivated and energized?00:10:52 Paying attention to situations, zooming in and out, and changing perspective00:13:17 Hypothesis-driven inquiry vs. data-driven discovery00:17:45 How to be intentional on doing nothing and plotting rest in the calendar00:20:23 Remote work not being conducive for levitation00:23:41 What happens when you yourselves in pigeonholes and when you become fixated on your function?00:27:43 Using your imagination to innovate and enhance customer experiences in restaurants using online and digital tools00:30:31 How to improve brainstorming process?00:33:03 How do you stick to scientific methods without confirmation bias kicking-in?00:36:43 Understanding the scientific method: how the human brain can learn naturally and how we learn from machines00:39:08 How preferring negative feedback, anticipating blockers and welcoming challenges help you churn out innovative ideas00:42:14 How manual drawings help architects solve problems better00:44:34 How to open more organizations to creativity and idea generation00:46:39 Becoming an expert but learning other things from different areas and practices to bridge gaps in the organizationShow Links:Guest ProfileFaculty Profile at IMDProfessional Profile at The Conversation NewsletterMichael Wade on LinkedInMichael Wade on TwitterHis WorkMichael Wade on Google ScholarALIEN Thinking: The Unconventional Path to Breakthrough IdeasHacking Digital: Best Practices to Implement and Accelerate Your Business TransformationOrchestrating Transformation: How to Deliver Winning Performance with a Connected Approach to ChangeDigital Vortex: How Today's Market Leaders Can Beat Disruptive Competitors at Their Own Game

Click above to listen in iTunes... I HATE getting paid pennies for my expertise and you're probably the same. The reality is, you can probably charge more without your dream customers batting an eye... What's going on everyone? This is Steve Larsen and you are listening to Sales Funnel Radio. Welcome to Sales Funnel Radio, where you'll learn marketing strategies to grow your online business using today's best Internet sales funnels. And now, here's your host, Steve Larsen. What's going on everyone? Hey, I'm super excited. I'm actually sitting here, I'm getting ready for my presentation at Local Client Takeover, LCT baby. It's going to be awesome. It's down in Vegas. It's actually in a few days here and I'm excited for it. I always love preparing my presentations ... sometimes. It's been a little bit challenging in the middle of this move and all the things going on here. But I always like it though, that's for sure. I was just thinking, so they want me to talk about local funnels and how you can use sales funnels in a local business, which is awesome. That's actually one of the first things that I ever did but it wasn't using click funnels and I didn't realize that I was using a funnel. Does that make sense? It's when I was doing traffic generation for Paul Mitchell, we were driving traffic ... What happened is they came to the college that I was going to and they came to the college and they were like, "Hey, we need these two guys. We need someone to help us please drive some traffic," and that's essentially what happened. We were like, "Cool." The teachers came and they saw that my buddy and I, Ben Wilson, I think he listens to this, shout out to you man. Ben Wilson and I, we're doing all these crazy things in college and the professors knew about that so they recommended us. We go and we start driving traffic for these guys and really quickly realized we could drive huge volumes of traffic but have none of it convert. We were certainly learning with other people's money. But we had some success with that as well, though. What we were doing is we were basically putting in ads out there that were saying things like, "Hey, come in and say this secret word and you'll get a free tea tree scalp treatment," or something like that. It's Paul Mitchell hair company, which is funny because I'm totally losing my hair now. Anyway, it was really cool I'm excited to be able to go and give the presentation here so I thought that I would talk a little bit about price because that actually is one of the secrets. So you guys know, if you have read the Extra Secrets book at all, if you've gone through Russell's Perfect Webinar Secrets at all, you will know that one of the major parts of what we do for selling is actually called storyselling. And what we do first is we go figure out the core false beliefs of our audience and we write them all out... The whiteboard literally right next to me has this. So what I do is I write out all the false beliefs that I know that people at LCT are going to have about how they can use sales online funnels in local business. Does that make sense? So I write down tons of them and I put them all out there. I wish I had these lists next to me, what they are. But things like, "Well I'm a word of mouth business only. So of course that's not going to work for me." You know what I mean? And just start writing them all down. So I've got things like, "I don't want more business. I can't handle it. There's too much competition in my local market. There's no way I could compete online." Those are the types of things I put on there. "Ads are pricey so I'm not going to be able to do it." Does that makes sense? And I list out all the false beliefs. This is how I prepared my speech over at ABcom too. Every time you guys use any type of communication or you guys talk to your customer at all do this. If you don't have a list of the main beliefs ... Now I'm just guessing. The more accurate way is for you to get out there and do like a Ask Campaign and really dive deep and call people who bought, call people who didn't buy and just get down there and start figuring out, in the weeds, what people are thinking when they hear about your product. So I started doing that and I wrote down ... Then what I do is I write down all of the counter ... What's my counter to that? Well, "Ads are pricey but honestly, you can have less clients anyway and then make more money" or "Ads are pricey but with a break even funnel, you really don't need to pay for them." You're just turning on an ads engine and maybe lose just a little bit of money but you're getting tons and you're getting basically free customers the rest of the time. That's a counter. And saying that is cool but it's not as effective as telling a story, where I get you in state and I start ... This is all from Extra Secrets book, where I get you in state and I start teaching you. I start telling a story of somebody else who went through that. "Oh, there was this guy once that, he was in ... " this certain business and does funnels now. Okay, one of the first funnels I ever built for somebody else was for this water company and they were super awesome. I have mad respect for that guy. He's built an incredible company and he wanted some more sales online so I ran an Ask Campaign to his existing list. I got like 150 responses. I read through all of the responses and I figured out like, "Oh my gosh, did you guys know that your customer wants these things? Did you know that they struggle with these things? Did you know that they wish you did these things?" And all we had to do then was create basically an E-com funnel selling their products online and it was practically a local business. He did a little traveling and speaking but it was most ... Anyway, they made like 50 grand through that funnel in the next like ... I don't know ... a couple day- ... like a couple weeks. It was probably like five weeks after it's all said and done. There was like 20 grand after the first few days and then leveled out to about 50 grand. Anyway, it was a good amount of money though, right? But I would dive more deep into the story and I would tell you guys my struggles with it and how I didn't think it would work and things that I was talking about with the boss man. Anyway I would dive into it deep and that would help you guys realize that what I'm saying is true because I'm telling story with it. I'm not just saying the fact, does that make sense? So that's what I do then. So first, I've got all the false beliefs then my counter but then I also write a story that relates to that to help them show that their belief is false. And then what I do is I go find the top three things, again, straight From Extra Secrets I go. Find the top three false beliefs that have to do with the vehicle that I'm going to suggest, the internal belief that they have and the external belief that they have. And those are my three secrets. So the title of this presentation for LCT, which I'm super stoked about, is going to be, How to Get Local Clients and Beat the Big Brands at Their Own Game. I think it's a pretty sweet ... Anyway, it's behind the scenes of simple local client acquisition funnels. And what I'm going to go do though is I'm going to show them, basically, all these cool funnels that you can use to get clients in but that's a never-ending topic. There's basically an infinite amount of ways you could probably do it, to be honest. So what I thought is it's more about how they're going to structure their business as a whole. What's their core offer? What's a cool front end they could use to fuel that core offer? And then what's a back end product? So I'm essentially going to teach the three core funnels as I go down there and I'm excited to do that because ... I'll just tell you then. It's about 84 slides. I'm a little nervous because last one was like 70 slides and I ended with like three minutes left, so I got to talk faster on this one. Anyway, so the first thing I'm going to show them is how to use low-end products to pay for all of your customer acquisition. Crazy cool, right? Especially for a local funnel. There's tons of local businesses that do that. They may not know they are using a funnel but that's what they're doing. Number two. I'm going to show them how to get treatment clients to abandon the big brands and cling to them instead. What I'm going to do is I'm going to teach them about offer structure and how most people do not create an offer. They just have a product or a service. But that doesn't mean you have an offer. Does that make sense? Then number three. I'm going to show them how to 2X their revenues from half the clients and I'm going to go show some cool stories of that using high-ticket application funnels in the back end. Or high-ticket supplement funnels or something like that. If you read Russell's book, DotCom Secrets, in there he talked about a cool chiropractor. He basically created a supplement funnel in the backend that was like a high-ticket $2,000-dollar package to help cure something that most people who came in and had. Does that make sense? So anyway, so that's what I'm going to do. What I wanted to do though for this, real quick here, this will probably be a little shorter episode. My episodes lately been a little bit long. Sorry about that. I had a cool comment. Someone's like, "I love that your episodes are like 15 minutes. Any longer and they'd be too long," but ... I don't know ... I feel like as long as I'm spitting value then whatever. So what I'm going to do though is I want to show you guys some of the cool ways you guys can charge more in your business. Right off the bat, I think this is from Joe Polish. Joe polish says, "How you price your products is determined in your ability to sell them." Does that make sense? This is for the few people that I've told, "Hey, charge five grand in the back, have them come out to you for two days," or charge $2000 for a consultation and they're immediately fearful. "What? $2000?" "What? $5000?" And the reason they do that and the reason they have this knee-jerk reaction experience whenever I say that is because they wouldn't pay $2000, or they wouldn't pay $5000. Guys it doesn't matter. You're not your target market. You're not the one filling your own wallet. What you need to be concerned about is whether or not you can sell that. Does that makes sense? You can sell anything but how are you going to sell that? Do you have testimonials? Do you have success stories? Do you have things in the back that other people can look at for social proof, for creating community. Does that make sense? You've got to make it ... Anything you got to sell ... Anyway, I just love that comment; "How you price your products is determined in your ability to sell them." It's fascinating. Very, very cool. So he goes on to talk about that ... What it is, I wrote down a whole bunch of things about pricing and how to charge more and there's a really cold interesting point here at the end that I want to actually say to you guys but let me get through the rest of the list here that I wrote. He says, "Premium prices equals different expectations." So if you're going to go charge something high-ticket, people are going to expect more. They're going to expect more from you. It's a little bit more of your time. Some massive piece of value, obviously that makes sense to you. That's obviously not something that you're probably going like, "We'll know. Duh." That makes sense, why wouldn't ... But honestly, all that means sometimes is just change up the delivery of your product. Change up how people receive it, meaning, well what I did in a front end funnel that I created was I ... instead of having like this course come in a series of YouTube videos, all I did was I put it on a CD and made it a "Free plus shipping" CD. I changed up the delivery and by seriously changing up the delivery, you can put yourself in a momentary blue ocean and let me charge more money, let people come to me. It let people be used to the idea that they should come in and pay money because I'm different... Does that make sense?... So change up the modality that you actually put people out there so ... And that lets you charge more money. People expect that there is zero delivery problems. They expect that there is this ... If you pay high premium prices, they expect your polish, your fulfillment to be on point. Does that make sense? And there's something that I've wanted to launch for quite a while now, probably about six months. I've known exactly what the product is, I've tested it, I know it will sell like hot cakes, I have a feeling it's going to make a $1 million if I ever get to launching the thing. But the reason I haven't done yet is because I don't have a fulfillment side set up yet.  I'm just being totally open and vulnerable with you guys. Guess what? Steve Larsen is not perfect. I'm looking for a person to help me on a specific piece. It's got to be a certain type of person, someone who's excited on ... Anyway, and that's why. And that's fine. I want to make sure that I can charge premium prices, that it's totally automated, because I don't have time to be doing my own product and so this is just out of fun in my net time, my no extra time, that Tony Robbins talks about. That's the reason I haven't done it yet. So if you want to charge premium prices he says, "You got to get rid of delivery problems and ramp your service." Then you can charge more money. Very easy to do that. What's one of the major pieces people want with click funnels? They want customer service. And they're willing to pay for it. We have people who pay extra amounts to get more premium support, more priority support... All right this was the piece that I really, really like. You guys, sometimes the key to charging more money is to just put more money on your asking sheet. Okay, does that makes sense? Just ask for more money. Just ask for more. If you have serious inhibitions on that, then most of the time it's your own inhibitions. A lot of time, like this is going to be such a stupid example, but when I was a kid man we'd go by those junior bacon cheeseburgers at at Wendy's like hotcakes man. We bought those things like crazy. We'd ride our bike out there and we loved it because, I don't know why, it was just ... I was a freshman in high school. It was just cool to just leave, to go over to the place we'd ride our bikes all over the place and I was a super outdoorsy kid to be honest. I rode a long board, I skied for years. Anyways, I was really, really outdoorsy. I went on a three-week backpacking trip once, that was super cool. Anyway, but I remember one day we were biking out there and it was a lot of fun, it was just a super fun adventure kind of thing but the price went up for them and I said, "Darn it." I still bought it. Does that make sense? And they went up again, I was like, "Darn it," and I still bought. That's a stupid example but do you guys get what I'm saying? Half the time your customers are going to be like, "Eh, whatever." Does that make sense? So this is a cool point that, I think it was Joe Polish that he made. He said, "Most all companies can raise their prices by 10%, afford to lose up to 40%, which is unlikely, and still maintain net profits." That make sense?... More money with less clients doesn't hurt if they even leave. Almost all have 80% increase in bottom-line by increasing just by 10%. Does tat make sense? If you increase your prices by 10%, worst-case scenario, let's say 40% of your clients end up leaving, just with a 10% raise, but you're going to get this massive increase in bottom-line revenue because most of your costs are already covered. Does that make sense? All you're doing is it is you're just literally adding straight to your bottom line because the cost of goods sold, your COGS, your cost of goods sold has already Artie been covered with the other money already. You're just adding 10% of even more cream on for you. That's really all it is. That make sense? So just go add more money on. Go charge more money and it's actually a lot easier. Honestly what I did is ... I think it was Pat Flynn I learned this from, I reference a lot of people as you guys can tell. It's because I know that I'm not amazing on my own and neither are you and you should know that. We're all standing on the shoulders of giants. Anyway, I think it was Pat Flynn that taught ... He was selling something, I can't remember what it is. I think it was an e-book but he said, "Hey, the reason I'm selling it for the type of price that I am, is literally because if I sell it any cheaper people will ask why it's so cheap." Sometimes cheap hurts you... Sometime cheap is actually a very, very big hindrance and the reason why ... Let's say you go to a car dealer and you go to this car dealer and you see this beautiful Porsche. Now let's say ... excuse me ... You could tell this is live radio because I'm not editing that out. Anyway, let's say you go see this amazing car and it's actually on a new car lot. And you go and you pull it up and you saved up quite a bit of money. Let's say you've saved up for quite some time. You've had your eye on this car, you know this car, you know the exact amount of liters that the engine is, you know exact ... You know the car before you bought it. You have been dreaming about this and you get up there and the guy's like, "Dude, this Porsche ... $5000." You'd be like, "What?" What would be the first thing that you ask? You would probably ask, "Well, what's wrong with it?" You'll probably ask, "Well how come ... $5,000? Man, I saved up way more. I'm ready to lay down cash on this thing." It's almost a pride thing by that point and the fact that you're not putting the money down is hurting your pride because buying is definitely a pride experience. I'm not saying proud as in a bad thing but there's some pride to buying. People like to buy and people like to know that what they bought is cool. Does that make sense? And Pat, the one who was making the point that, "Hey, look ... If you charge prices that are so low you actually will devalue something that could be very valuable." People want to pay money and get good services for things. If they don't, I ask you to change your customer. So that's the reason why... That's the reason why ... When I was building funnels for other people I raised from 10 grand to 20 grand because I knew that my funnel was going to make easily that amount in a month and it'd be pure profit for them afterwards. Does that make sense? Just raise your price. Just charge more money. And you'll find that people actually sometimes will respect you more for that. It shows that increase in status, especially if you're a service-based business. It's a lot easier to charge money. Just charge more money. If you're a product-based business that's fine also. Charge more money... If you've ... What's one of the lines Russel always tells me? I think it's from Frank Kern. He said, "If you can't be the cheapest, there is no strategic advantage you have from being the second cheapest, therefore you have to be the most expensive." Does that make sense? I feel like if you go onto Amazon and you got two different products and they both say "New" but one is like five bucks and the other one's four bucks, you're probably going to by the one that's four bucks. There's no strategic advantage of being the second cheapest. You've got to go for the most expensive... Anyway, that's the whole point and sorry for keep going and going and going but I'm just really excited to give the presentation. I think it will be helpful and I'm excited to show some more strategies that we use for local clients. So anyway, it's going to be awesome. Remember that how you price your product is determined on your ability to sell them. If you feel like you can't sell them, read Extra Secrets. It will teach you how to sell them. Raise your prices by 10% automatically, just go do it right now. You'll make more money and people will actually ... they're probably not even going to bat an eye so it is what it is. Guys I'll talk to you later and yes, let me know if this helps at all. Bye. Thanks for listening to Sales Funnel Radio. Please remember to subscribe and leave feedback.

Episode 0x1C -- The New Guy That's audio episode 29 out of us - and so it's time to go gracefully into our middle age with a new guy. We are pleased to announce that we're adding a new regular contributor to the Podcast - Wil Knoll is a Calgary-based infosec consultant / hackerspace founder who has been a key contributor to Hacker Pyramid as well as knowing his shit when it comes to infosec. He's also an accomplished actor and once upon a time could be mistaken for Joey from Hackers. We are thrilled to have him join the show and in this first outing, he did a wonderful job. He also suffers from impostor syndrome - so make sure you tell him how awesome he really is -- @wintr on Twitter. Normally there is an opportunity for witty goofing about here. This week, I'm taking the time to soapbox for a moment. If you're not aware of Aaron Swartz, you should be.

My friend's firm is well funded -- but myself, I have a prejudice against "big name" firms, so I will not be passing on any such recommendations to him. Thanks for the great podcast, Mark Sirs, I listen regularly and really enjoy your podcast and the insightful, intelligent, sober analysis you provide. I must disagree with your assessment, in episode 1B, of the New York Times article Outmaneuvered at Their Own Game, Antivirus Makers Struggle to Adapt." It seems your analysis fell victim to the standard industry response to the piece, which, summed up, amounted to "duh, so what?" I would like to respectfully submit that the value of the article isn't so much its content, but the fact that it appeared in the Business Section of the New York Times that landed on my doorstep. It has long been well known in the information security community that antivirus was less than effective, but the fact that the Times ran an article indicting the industry, and served it up to lay people across the globe is a fairly significant event. The article begins: "the antivirus industry has a dirty little secret: its products are often not very good at stopping viruses," but the moment the Times went to press that fact was no longer secret. This type of mainstream media analysis could spell real trouble for an industry that has been struggling to find relevance in the modern threat environment, and the fact that popular media is beginning to get on the AV-bashing bandwagon does not bode well for the future of your favorite yellow swirly products. The PHB's of the world may not listen to their security officers, but they probably read the New York Times, which can change financial decisions for a company in significant ways.Cheers, Justin C.

Do school districts lie to parents of extra needs children? Joann Collins thinks so. An extra needs advocate for over 15 years and a mother of two grown children with extra needs she has written a book about it. "Disability Deception: Lies Disability Educators Tell and How Parents Can Beat Them at Their Own Game". JoAnn Talks to Senior Dad Stan Goldberg about the book and how parents can be effective when working with schools and school districts. They talk about the shocking Autism numbers in the San Francisco schools where 1 in 48 Caucasian children are diagnosed with autism. JoAnn’s view of the current extra needs landscape will open your eyes. Warning to parents of typical children: you will be shocked to hear what your school district (country-wide) is doing in this emerging civil rights issue.There was a time that Robyn O’Brien never gave a thought to what she or her family ate. One day at breakfast, her fourth child ate a scrambled egg, turned red, started looking like a blown up balloon, and changed Robyn’s view of allergies and nutrition forever. Nutrition education became a basic of Robyn’s family. As Robyn learned more about how food is produced, she was alarmed by all the dangers we are never told about. She shares what she has learned in a conversation with Senior Dad Stan Goldberg, as they talk about what to feed your family, the links from genetically engineered milk hormones to breast cancer, prostrate cancer, and ovarian cancer. They talk about government penalties to organic growers, and about school lunches. Robyn O’Brien, “The Mighty Nutritionist”Stan tells of pets
