We’ve all been to events and seen some killer sponsorship tents, where we’ve been blown away by how much fun it was, with games they played and their offerings.
 
How many of you can remember some of those great sponsor promotion events even today?  I can!
 
We buy based on experiences we have.  And I can say that I’ve personally done business with companies that put together a fun experience at these events, not just because I thought they could solve my problem, but also because I met them in-person, and simply liked their vibe!
 
So let’s talk about five ways you can dominate your next sponsorship event!
 
In this episode, Host Spencer Ward runs through some in-person promo ideas that he’s seen work; making companies and products extremely memorable.

We’ve all been there…your company or team is accustomed to vetting a certain amount of leads/bids on a regular basis. What happens though when the amount of leads/bids during a certain period of time goes up drastically beyond what you typically handle?
How do you respond to them, schedule them, and most importantly, follow up with them?
CRM’s are a great way to do this, to automate this and to make sure you aren’t losing out on opportunities because you forgot to call a lead or follow up with a bid, etc.
Listen in and see what steps you can take without spending a ton of cash to make your life easier and more profitable!

We hear it so much nowadays:  “This workforce isn’t what it used to be,” etc.  Well, we can keep complaining about it or we can help change it.  How do we do that you may ask?  It starts within the walls of our own homes.
 
Teaching our kids to do and accomplish hard things is so important.  If we want future employees who we can trust to do the job right and get things done, even when it’s tough, we need to teach our kids to do the same.
 
Letting them fail, speaking truth to them, and being true to your own word, will prove helpful.  Make them get jobs as they get of age and make them do chores as they live under your roof.
 
I’m definitely not a professional in the matter and I’m far from a perfect parent, but maybe I have a few thoughts that might inspire some ideas for you and your children.

How many of us have dealt with a particular problem over and over again in your businesses?
First you need to think: how can I prevent this problem from recurring? Second: what steps do I or my team take to solve this problem when it does happen?
As leaders and owners we can keep ourselves up at night with what if scenarios and be our own worst enemy. Or we can put insurance policies in place (ie inspections and additional training from experienced staff).  We also need to trust in your abilities, that you made the right call and you did all that you could do.

Sales is the lifeblood of a company. How much easier is it if you have a differentiator that makes you stand out from the crowd? That helps you to offer more value to your customers.
With sales being the life of the company, it’s not the end all solution. What if you don’t know your labor costs or supply costs and you're bidding out and selling jobs with the wrong margins? It’s like having a hole in your boat and adding more sales to the equation is just making the hole bigger! This is where knowing your numbers is so important.
Technology is amazing right now! If you aren’t taking advantage of what’s out there you are going to be behind. Let’s talk about all of this today and how we can take our businesses to the next level!

Camille has been in the crepe-making business for over 12 years now.  Many people think owning a food truck is just showing up, bringing some ingredients, and flipping on the light, and BOOM!  Here comes the money!
 
What they don’t know is that understanding your income statement and providing a consistent product is most of the battle.
 
This is the difference between companies that come and stay and companies that come and go.  It’s the “boring” information that you need to know day-in and day-out to be successful, and obviously you have to make an amazing crepe as well! ;)
 
Check out this episode, as host Spencer Ward learns Camille’s full story.
