I agree completely with your outlook on what it means to be marketing. In this economy it is important to be marketing as many ways as possible.

Best Regards,

You know whats funny is that the 3 things you mentioned that are most important are the 3 things I have the most trouble with. I’m not a good natural marketer, I’m not a systematic person, and many times I take action, but I take action on the easy items on my list and keep putting off the big things.

I guess that’s not funny, its sad bc I assume many others are the same way. In fact, I can’t think of any 3 things that I’m worse at than those 3. I guess heading into the new year, that is what I should be focusing on huh?

Great show. Very eye opening stuff

Curtis,
I think a 4th thing to add to your list would be to surround yourself with a good team. I’m sure you consider that part of the operations “system” but I think that having people working with you who are better than you are at certain things, it is better for your business. For example, don’t do your own website, don’t do your own taxes, don’t write your own contracts, don’t train everyone yourself, don’t do your own billing, etc. Surround yourself with people that are very good at what they do so you can focus on what you are best at.

I really like the restaurant idea too. No one does that in this area

Great show Curtis. I don’t mind that it’s longer. TV shows are normally 30 or 60 minutes anyway, so I kind of like that it is longer. You break the parts of the show up enough that if I don’t care for one part, I know another one is coming up in a few minutes.

What about a success stories part of the show. Maybe highlight someone who has used your strategies and done well with them? Just an idea.

I also submitted a question through the contact page so if you get a chance to email back I’d appreciate it.

I didn’t get to see the training downsell. I saw the restaurant menu strategy. But I liked that idea as well.

There are always bugs in the system when you get started. Good to see you make mistakes like the rest of us

I hope you put the training downsell on another episode soon, or allow us access to it somehow? I can use all the help I can get in the training dept.

There is no magical secret to running a business. It is a variety of things, all working together to create a successful business. I’ve always been successful and it’s because I’ve done everything systematically. If there is a script, we stick to it. If there is a marketing sequence, we follow it. If there is a new employee, they are trained in the same manner as the previous. It has worked very well for us and we now have 3 locations. None of them are unbelievably profitable, but they are all profitable, and always have been.

I think the show is great and the information is very useful. It offers a good reminder that I am doing the right things and gives me some new ideas to implement, systematically of course.

Good show.
