Hey, everyone, Ken Courtright here. Welcome back to Today’s Growth/Growing Business Today. I am Ken Courtright, your tour guide. This episode we are going to be handing out and explaining guide maps that can be used to grow any business at any time.
 Last episode we were talking about reading the customer’s mind. How would you know what new product to come out with? How do you know when it’s time to even shift industries, let alone maybe change jobs? We covered a couple of different tools, free tools from Google, that can be used to literally read your customer’s mind and tell you what you should come out with next.
 This episode we’re going to take it a step further.

It Can Be Tough To Read Your Customers Mind

Hey everyone, welcome back. Welcome to Today’s Growth: Growing Business Today. The word today is a key part of that title, because growing business today is definitely not the same as 5 years ago, 10 years ago, even 15 years ago. Although the principles and some of the fundamental modalities are the same, it is definitely not possible to say growing a business today is the same as 20 years ago.

We are going to take the roof off of credibility in this episode. This episode is called Trust Trumps Everything. I spent almost all of 2014 doing a talk titled, Trust Trumps Everything. About a year, a year and a half ago, maybe as far back as 2 years ago, we were analyzing at that point our 400 website portfolio. We noticed some of the sites were drastically out earning some of the other sites with the same exact amount of traffic. They were all similar industries, so they were all insurance or mortgage. Same industry, had almost identical traffic across 10 sites except 2 of the sites were making a gob more money. I think some of them were 5 to 10 times more money and we were scratching our heads.

I had a hunch it was something called social proof, but at this point it was just purely a guess. Social proof is something where it is defined by saying that if the world says it is so, it must be so. Meaning if you say something, you are just a sales rep, if your website just said something, your website is the biggest sales rep for your company, nobody trusts a sales rep. If you say you are the best, nobody believes you. If the world says you are the best, if the media or the J.D. Power and Associates, some credible entity says you are the best, then you know what, you are probably even better than they are saying.

For most people listening to this podcast, the fastest way to grow what you’re currently doing would not be to get on national TV, would definitely not be on radio, although radio still works. It wouldn’t be any type of large advertisement. I would say, for 98% of people listening to this, the fastest way to very large growth would come from some form of an endorsement. Some form of large endorsement. Some large organization. Some large body or person. It could even be a large magazine or newspaper giving their blessing to your product or service.

This technique we’re going to cover can be used in pretty much any company, any industry, and time. There’s no question if it’s applied, it can physically guarantee the growth of a company. It could stabilize a company. The best way to explain this, again as I do most of the time, is strictly through a case study. This happened to us in, I think 1999, matter of fact, it happened November, ’99, and it finished at the end of January, 2000. I remember that because MCI world com gave me a two or three foot crystal goblet type of thing, but before I get to that, and it has 2000 on it, so before I get to that, let’s back up. My phone rings one time in October, 1999, a gentleman named Steve is on the phone. He says, “Is this Ken Courtright?” I said, “Yes it is,” he says, “I have heard that you, or your company, has a unique ability to turn around a sales organization.”
