    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-The 3 Communication Styles Every Leader Should Know

    Speak Their Style, Build Real Influence 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.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Are You as Committed as Your Customers Are?

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  In sales, yes, there are times when you get the lucky one, right? We have a franchisee who thought they were calling our competitor. And they said, Oh, I remember the three calls we had; they were so good. Meanwhile, I'm going through my records, I'm like, does anyone have a record of this person? What did we miss? We didn't find out till later that they actually were talking to the competition. They mistakenly sent us an email for the fourth meeting, which they thought was the fourth meeting with the other people. I just played along with it. I'm like, oh, well, how are we doing so far? We're like really close. And they said, I can't wait to come to the discovery day. I'm emailing the team, when's the next discovery day? I get the note back, I'm like, put this person on the invite right away. And by the time they woke up and realized that we had them, all right, fine. Now and again, you step in a little dung, and you get a little bit lucky. And maybe you make your luck by being out there and putting yourself out there and doing the work. For the most part though, we still gotta go out and get it. And the marketplace doesn't care what you did yesterday. They like your resume, they like your business card, they like that you have the expertise that you had, but tomorrow someone's gonna beat you to it.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Go Where the Decision-Makers Are

    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 I do that is to minimize the gatekeepers that keep me from my prospects. I know that at 7 a.m., business owners and decision-makers get their phones; they're at arm's length, 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 you were like, "I don't know if I'm going to go to this." Go. Go and have some fun with it.  Like and follow this podcast to learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-You're Too Good to Have an Empty Pipeline

    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- 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 or Convenient: Which One Are You?

    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 that 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. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-Grow Your Business One Introduction at a Time

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Now I'm trying to make it sound fun, like, yay, referral party, but we also call it a one-to-one house call. It's a meeting with somebody where you sit down and you say to them, Here's what's going on in my world. And here's what a good introduction looks like for me. Tell me what's going on in your world and what a good introduction looks like for you. And we don't get off the phone until we make at least one introduction for each other. You do that with five people every month. Who can I introduce you to that's meaningful? Now you might not always get a perfectly qualified lead. That's why you want to do five. You might say, Oh, well, my son or daughter is about to take their SATs to get into college. Oh, I know a great, you know, SAT tutor. I'll make that introduction. All right. Well, I was hoping for someone that was going to buy 10 units, but I'll take the SAT tutor. Sometimes it's that; sometimes it's just relationship building.   Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould, and this has been your #70secondCEO.

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-The Referral Formula That Keeps Your Pipeline Full 2

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over a one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. I don't know where the universe or the volcanic activity that regulates this is, but when I have 12, I get no leads. When I have 36 or 48, leads, the quality of them goes down. Somewhere in that bubble of 24, and here's what I think, I think it's because I stay in touch with them, their frequent dinner or networking people, I see them on a regular basis, we tend to talk a lot, we tend to have deep conversations, something pops. So if you don't have 24 referrers, set that as a goal. If you could look and say, all right, so how many accountants, how many attorneys, how many realtors, how many business brokers, how many private equity funds?

    Carl-Gould-#70secondCEO-The Referral Formula That Keeps Your Pipeline Full

    Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one-minute investment every day for a lifetime of results.  What can we bring in? What are other activities? So if you look at the second one right there, one of the things that I like to have is I like to have I found over the years, I don't know what the magic science is behind it. I don't know how the planets rotate to make this work. After 35 years as an advisor and 40 years as an entrepreneur total, what I found is if I maintain a good stable of 24 people that will refer me once per year, that helps my deal flow stay pretty active. That means once a year, these 24 people are going to say, Hey Carl, you should meet so-and-so. Hey Carl, here's an investor. Hey Carl, here's a landlord. Hey Carl, here's a realtor. Hey Carl. You see what I mean? That gets me to a month, and I found that that's pretty consistent. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more.
