by

Kelvin is back on the show and talking with Andy around this strange situation where SEO, PPC and Content Marketing are getting simpler and more complex at the same time.
Why is that the case? And what can we do to respond to that.
Kelvin‰Ûªs top tips:

  • Do the things that will have the quickest impact first rather than the big things.
  • Understand that complexity is inevitable and invest in improving your ability to navigate that complexity.
  • Realise that you‰Ûªll find new challenges over time

Here‰Ûªs How to Answer the Most Important Question in Life (and Make a Living from It)

by

A few weeks ago, Demian got the opportunity to talk to Bernadette Jiwa about her books, her blog, and her unique approach to branding. And ultimately, about how a business can satisfy customers by answering that terribly important question about life.
Why bother?
Each and every morning you and I both wake up and ask ourselves that question. Some mornings we don‰Ûªt even think about the question, but answer it deliberately by jumping out of bed and bolting for the office.
In these cases, we bother because we care deeply about what we do. We feel like we matter. Then there are the other mornings ‰Û_
Mornings where you roll over and eye the clock. The alarm will sound within minutes, but you have no desire to get out of bed. It has been a long week ‰ÛÓ and it‰Ûªs only Tuesday.
On these days ‰ÛÓ which may turn into months or even years ‰ÛÓ you hate what you do and feel like you don‰Ûªt matter. That‰Ûªs a terrible feeling, and you need someone to come along and tell you it doesn‰Ûªt have to be that way.
Fortunately, there is someone.
And that person is Bernadette Jiwa, a branding consultant based in Perth, Australia. She‰Ûªs an Amazon bestselling author and just a plain, old-fashioned storyteller ‰ÛÓ who is, by the way, speaking at Authority Rainmaker this May in Denver, Colorado.
In this 42-minute interview you‰Ûªll discover:

  • Bernadette‰Ûªs insightful response when I confessed why Copyblogger‰Ûªs editorial department has a crush on her name.
  • What it looked like growing up in the storytelling capital of the world.
  • Why copying the Mad Men style of marketing may be ruining your business.
  • How ‰ÛÏtea kettle moments‰Û could be the secret to having more customers than you can handle.
  • The interesting twist her book deal took with a traditional publisher (an important lesson for anyone who wants to publish).
  • Advice to people who think they are unoriginal ‰ÛÓ and think they can‰Ûªt do anything about it.
  • What type of stories to tell if you want to be the center of attention.
  • Guidance to people who feel like their careers are going no where.
  • How to stop falling for the popular myth about scaling your business.

This is a down-to-earth discussion for people who want to grow a meaningful business by creating value, telling stories, and making people happy ‰ÛÓ whether that‰Ûªs a business of one or 1,000.

Dan Pink on How to Succeed in the New Era of Selling

by

Selling isn‰Ûªt what it used to be. And for most of us, that‰Ûªs a good thing.
Gone are the days of alpha males who are ‰ÛÏalways closing.‰Û Today, in the new era of selling that has dawned, many of us are spending much more of our time selling than we even realize.
This is the subject of Authority Rainmaker keynote speaker Dan Pink‰Ûªs latest book, To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others, and he gives us an inside look ‰ÛÓ describing the tools and traits that are required (many of which you probably have already) ‰ÛÓ in the latest episode of The Lede.
In this episode, Dan Pink and I discuss:

  • Tips for building a network (hint: be genuine!).
  • How we‰Ûªve moved from buyer beware to seller beware.
  • Two reasons why humility has become an essential trait for modern-day selling.
  • Why ‰ÛÏAlways Be Closing‰Û has been replaced by ‰ÛÏAttunement, Buoyancy, Clarity.‰Û
  • Dispelling the myth that strong extroverts are best-suited for selling.
  • Why the new era of information symmetry makes expertise and conscientiousness more valuable than ever.
  • How the concept of ‰ÛÏservant selling‰Û should be applied to content marketing strategy.
  • How to use extrinsic motivators and intrinsic motivators at the appropriate times to achieve the desired results.
