    Carl Gould-#70secondCEO-What If Charging More Is the Only Way to Be Seen as Better?

    Hi Everyone, Carl Gould here, your #70secondCEO, just over a minute of investment per day for a lifetime of results. We're talking about increasing your fees. Now wouldn't that be nice? Just take your prices and charge more? And you'll just make more money. Isn't that great? Well, you know what, it's actually necessary. We have been talking about not just being another penguin, about standing above, about being an expert, about differentiating yourself. Well guess what? People judge your quality based on your fees. Think about it, I asked you the question, what's a better watch? A Timex or a Rolex? And some of you are like, "Timex, do they even make them anymore?" Like pretending you don't know. And then when I said, How about a Rolex? You all knew what that cost, "Oh, $5000, $5000, well, it depends on which one you get. How much are we blinging this one out Carl?" Now you can spend 15 or above. You all knew what the Rolex cost. But none of you could figure out what the Timex would cost. Right, because we are sold on brands that are higher in price. Apple, Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Tiffany's, you know, Rolex, and other high-end brands. What makes them high end? How do you know they're as good as they claim? The reality is you don't! The way that you judge quality is based on its price.  Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

All right, so we do business and we've advised companies in 78 countries. One of the advantages of that is we see trends before they come here and we also, for our other than US clients outside the US, we see the trends here and we can run over there and say, hey, guess what's coming, right? As much as anything else right now, for the next five years, you are gonna win on the how. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Build a Winning Team: Why High Performers Matter Most

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. So now business owners, I won't embarrass you by asking you to stand up if there's somebody in your business you would need to fire because you would all stand up, but you need to let that person go. Who you say no to on your team is equally as important to who you say yes to on your team. I would rather have a smaller team of high performers than a larger team that has mid or lower performers. High performers don't like low performers. Low performers don't like high performers. Don't put them in the same room. You can find all the research. You put a high performer and a low performer in the same room. A low performer will drag down the high performer 15 to 35% in their productivity, 15 to 35%. You're better off just getting rid of the lower performer. Yeah, but who's gonna answer the phone? Oh, geez, we'll figure that out. Oh yeah, but I don't have anyone to go to the trade show. Oh, so what? Better an empty booth than what you put in that booth, right? Make sure to be, again, award your higher standard people. By the way, I know accountability is a challenge in a lot of businesses. Not when you have high performers. They love scorecards because they're always winning. Accountability only hurts when you're not meeting your goals. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Master Communication: Connect Beyond Your Natural Style

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  Why do we care that we have rapport? Why do we care that we have influence? Well, first off, we need rapport because we need to build a relationship. I'm going to ask you a couple of questions in a moment, but we need to build a relationship with other people. And there are only three styles out there. You're one of them. There are two others. And for our purposes, you are basically wired like one-third of the population when it comes to your communication style. You don't have to do any work. You connect with them very easily. They, wow, that person is really cool. I get on very easily with them. It's the other two thirds that we have to work on. So you have to know your style so you can understand others' styles so you can adapt. And that's what today's about. It's about situational communication, situational leadership.   Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

    Carl Gould-#70secondCEO-Guarantee the Outcome: Prove You're Committed to Results

    Guarantee the Outcome: Prove You're Committed to Results  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Here's another one if you have recurring services; your gym, you have membership for subscription services, go back to your clientele offer that, if it's fifty bucks a month offer them sixty-five dollars a month. At sixty-five dollars a month you're gonna say "here are the deliverables we promise that you will get in our program". If we as your provider ever fall below those thresholds we will suspend our charges to you until we get back above those thresholds. Use the ninety days ruling average because you can have a bad month, anyone can have a bad month. It will reward you for a great month because you--we're going to the ninety day ruling average and it will protect you against the bad month or two. You can build up, right? So if you're supposed to provide an average level of service each month, you can build-up your average to protect you against the couple of dips. But guys this is all about you demonstrating to them that you are as committed to helping them as they are to their problem. Right now everybody has a hundred percent committed to their problem, hundred percent I question whether you're a hundred percent committed to fixing their problem.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Win the Day Early: 7–9 AM Is Your Sales Advantage

    Win the Day Early: 7–9 AM Is Your Sales Advantage Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Between 7 and 9 a.m. The reason why I do that is that I minimize the gatekeepers that keeps me away from my prospects. I know at 7 a.m., business owner, decision makers, get their phone, it's arm's distance away, and they can't help themselves. They'll see that phone ring and they're like, Oh, my assistant isn't around. Someone has got to answer this phone. Ring number three, ring number four. Drives them crazy. Go to that networking event. You know who's there? They're truly committed. In the summer, yeah, the meetings aren't as big, but who's there? The board, the influencers, the people that never miss. These are the people that you want to make sure that you're networking with. That trade show that you were like, I don't know if I'm going to go to this. Go. Go and have some fun with it.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-You're Too Good to Have a Lead Problem

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Too good at what you do to not have the lead flow that you need. You're too good at what you do. So I know darn well if you went to every trade show and if you were at every event and you were typing in every time I asked and you were going for it 100%, you'd have your leads, right? And so July is a great opportunity to say, all right, yeah, yeah, yep. I went to go see the 4th of July fireworks on the 2nd of July. Also, instead of doing that thing that I knew I should have done and I didn't send out those proposals and I didn't make a few of those calls, and I let this slide a little bit. I get it. We all do. Just take an honest assessment. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Committed vs. Convenient: The Choice That Drives Results

    Committed vs. Convenient: The Choice That Drives Results   Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Are you in the committed mode? Are you in the convenient mode? And here's what we find out almost 100% of the time. You're not getting the results you want, you probably fell into the convenient mode. And I understand. I live in a shore state, New Jersey. We have a beach, backs right up to the Atlantic Ocean. And guess where everybody is from now until Labor Day? There. Guess where they're not? At networking events, schlepping out to a trade show, and taking the extra phone call. They blocked out their calendar. All of a sudden their Calendly link has nothing on it. That's where they're at, right? So last week I got the op, hey Carl, you wanna go to that concert? Or hey Carl, are you coming to the networking event that you have to drive to New York for? That's an hour and a half away, one way. Which one do you think I wanted to go to? Now, turns out I went to the networking event. Made two nice contacts. Missed the concert. Okay, that's what happens. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.
