27 Mar 2019Episode No.4: Andrew Dymski - Are You Running a Broken Business Model?00:39:47

On today’s episode I welcome Andrew Dymski to the show.

Andrew co-runs Zen Pilot, a company that helps agencies develop their processes and systems so they can scale.

He and his business partner started their agency, Guava Box in a college dorm room with no book of business or corporate experience. As you can imagine, he learned a lot by trial and error and by his own admission, has plenty of the scars and bruises to show for it!

It’s one of the reasons he now helps others avoid what he went through, by becoming obsessed with one question:

How can agency owners build a sustainable business that delivers amazing results for clients without taking over their lives?

  • Andrew has consulted with over 1,200 agencies.
  • Worked with businesses on 6 continents.
  • Interviewed 180+ successful agency owners on his podcast Agency Journey.
  • Invested over $700,000 of his own money building an agency project management tool from scratch.

He’s distilled all of these experiences and lessons learned into a concise process that allows agencies to win without reinventing the wheel. But even if you don’t run an agency, everything he does can be easily applied to any business that works with clients.

Which is why I’m so excited to welcome him onto today’s show!

On this episode:

  • Why building a great business is like becoming a pro-athlete
  • Why you can’t scale without a process
  • How you’ve been conditioned to think wrong when it comes to running your business
  • Andrew’s best strategy for catching clients
  • The single strategy Andrew would use if he had to start again to catch new clients
  • And much more!

You can see how to build your own Client Catching Marketing System by getting a copy of my...

“Client Catching” Sales Roadmap

This will show you how create a system into your business, just like the one I talk about in today's episode. It walks you through how it all fits together and all the tools you’ll need to build it.

16 Jul 2020Isar Meitis: Big Business Thinking, For Small Business Growth00:52:55

Big business, and the people that run them, THINK differently. 

So as we’re all capable of thinking, this would suggest that every small business has the potential to become big by adopting how big business thinks. Makes sense right? 

But unless you have worked in big business, or have access to those that do, then this could be easier said than done. 

Which is why you’re going to gain a huge amount of value from my guest today, Isar Meitis.

He was an F-16 air force pilot in the Israel Air Force, has an executive MBA, founded a startup, and then became the president of E-commerce for Tourico Holidays, the largest travel wholesale company in the US, essentially running a B2C startup within this large B2B corporate.

On this episode:

  • The most dangerous period in any company's growth...
  • Are you mowing all the grass in your business?
  • The key responsibilities of a CEO that every small business owner has to embrace.
  • What being an F16 pilot can teach you about business.
  • Success lessons from failure.
  • When you can't outspend your competition, do this...
  • The single biggest difference between a big business, and one that stays small

03 Sep 2019Steve Pailthorpe: Generate Organic Leads From Search00:49:26

If you think about how our habits have changed in the last decade or so, one thing you’d probably put at the top of your list is how you probably type stuff into a search engine like Google on a daily basis.  

In fact a little statistic I found suggests eighty-one percent of customers and massive 94% of B2B buyers, will perform searches online before they make a purchase!

It’s these changes in our behaviour that have meant as business owners, we know about the importance of showing up in these searches, or we risk falling behind the competition.

Which is why you’re going to want to pay attention to my guest today, Steve Pailthorpe, Founder of iconicdigital.co.uk who is recognized internationally as a prominent digital marketing & SEO expert.

On this episode:

  • Why SEO isn’t dead…
  • The small simple changes that will result in more visitors to your website
  • Why it’s vital that your website is designed for search if you want to generate leads
  • The importance of backlinks
  • How to get millions worth of insights from the big boys, that you can use for free

I also wanted to let you know about a brand new free resource I've just released called...

How To Stand Out And Attract Clients In A World Of Extroverts & Selfies: A Quietly Powerful Guide For Professional Introverts... (And Curious Extroverts!)

There's both a PDF download and bonus video version.

Essentially I created this after realising that, as an introvert who can at times be painfully shy, meaning that sometimes struggled to stand out and attract clients, I'm not alone!

So if you're an introvert like me, perhaps at some level you've felt this has held you back in your business?

Because even though you’ve been successful, you’ve always found it a little harder to attract clients in this age of social media and selfies, (and the thought of taking one, especially in public, makes you cringe…), than others who seem to embrace it.

If so, this guide could be your saviour!

I'm making a bold promise with today's episode, yet one I know is 100% true, so I can say this with absolute confidence.

Using Strategic Alliances & Partnerships is the one marketing strategy that consistently outperforms everything by a long way. Every. Time.

And as Strategic Alliances is his number 1 way of growing businesses, you’re going to get some amazing insights from both his wins and losses along the way to building those 87 businesses.

On this episode:

  • Why most businesses miss out on the REAL power of strategic alliances.
  • How Tom generates 93% of his revenue from strategic alliances.
  • How to profit from your direct competitors.

In this 5 part series I’m taking a deep dive into the exact strategy that I use to “catch” clients. 

If you haven’t listened to part 1 and 2, I suggest you listen to that first as these may not make as much sense if you listen out of order...

My goal in this series is very simple. I’m going to show you a time tested strategy with thousands of years of success to back up it’s effectiveness, that I’ve added a modern twist to that will help you get more clients from less selling, in a way that feels natural and authentic.

16 Sep 2021What If You Suddenly Couldn't Work?00:12:49

Have you ever thought about what would happen if you couldn’t go to work for a week, or a month, or even two months? 

How would you deal with it? Would things be able to continue without you, or would things grind to a halt? 

I've only ever really considered this question as a "thought exercise"...

Until it actually happened to me in July when I was taken to hospital by ambulance, spent 5 days there and a further 6 weeks pretty much bedbound on medication that made it very difficult to think, let alone work!

So as regular listeners may have noticed a change in the release schedule, this is the first time I've been able to record an update as to the reason why, and exactly what happened. 

Plus I give some thoughts about what you can learn from my ordeal, how it's impacted my mindset, my business and how I'm looking at the future with renewed enthusiasm as I continue my recovery!

23 Jul 2020Martin Knapp: Leveraging Virtual Networking Events To Attract Clients & Nurture Existing Relationships00:52:13

For many people, networking events are one of the main (if not the primary) source of clients for their business. 

So what happens when all of a sudden the world goes into lockdown and social distancing restrictions take this source of clients (and revenue) away? 

Well a lot of people freaked out. No surprise there. But it’s even more scary if you’re the one putting these events together!!

However, the savvy ones took a step back and looked at the situation, assessed it for what it was and made a fast shift. They took what makes these events successful in the real world, and went virtual.

That’s what my guest today Martin Knapp has done, and he’s here to talk about the benefits of virtual networking, how it differs from face to face, and share his story about the importance of being open to making fast changes to your offer in the face of massive disruption. 

Martin is founder of Bookable.Online, an automated CRM system where you can manage and market your business from one spot, as well as the creator of Business Breakout Virtual Networking which is a part mastermind, part networking group giving members an opportunity to meet other business owners, collaborate, and learn from business leaders.

On this episode:

  • The importance of being flexible in the face of massive disruption.
  • The difference between virtual and in person networking.
  • Misconceptions about networking and how to make it work for you.
  • How Hollywood movies can help you to make the perfect 30 second introduction.
  • Tips on how to pitch your business with confidence.
  • Business lessons from war, wall street and poker...
  • How to run your own effective virtual networking event to build an audience.
  • Avoid the biggest mistake people make with networking (that has nothing to do with being in the room...).

Joining me today to talk business growth and help out a fellow business leader on The Virtual Hotseat is Martin Lucas.

Martin excels in making the complex simple. And I mean REALLY complex, as he has decoded the brain mechanics, (the science, psychology and mathematics), of decision-making.

He spent four years of research and development to figure out how thinking and decision-making works, from which he designed The Matrix, which allows his clients to understand their audiences, how to segment, how to treat them, how to speak to them and what to show them every day, every week, month and season, and adapt as both the market and the consumer adapts.

As well as running Gap in the Matrix, he’s also published three books, is a three times business founder, sat on boards, written a paper for the Prime Minister, run events with Google, won awards for leadership, sales and growth, received a commendation from the Home Secretary and been interviewed by Forbes.

22 Feb 2019Episode No.2: Being Great at What You Do Isn't Enough00:18:22

 

In today's episode I talk about a topic I don’t hear being talked about that much, which is the fact that being great at what you do is not necessarily going to help you catch more clients or grow your business.

Sad but true.

There comes a time when, if you are pretty great at what you do, but you’re still not getting as many clients as you’d like, then it’s fair to say you’re suffering one of the most common ailments of business….

You’re suffering in obscurity.

Because despite being awesome at what you do, you probably feel like you're “the best kept secret” in your market.

And that sucks!!

So to fix that, you need to know how to market and sell.

In this episode:

  • Why marketing is the NUMBER 1 most important skill you need to master in order to grow your business.
  • The biggest mistake that I see, time and time again, in most marketing, and how to fix it.
  • A a little secret about tactics...
  • How having a system for your marketing and sales is a literal life saver.
  • A simple framework you can use to create a Roadmap that will make marketing a lot easier.
  • And much more...

You can see how to build your own Client Catching Marketing System by getting a copy of my...

03 Sep 2020What If You Could Only Work 3 Hours A Day?00:23:41

When you're trying to grow a business the worst position you can find yourself in is being overworked, underpaid, under-recognized and under compensated. You're in this place where you're constantly "almost there" but you run out of hours. And in doing so, you're going to run out of bandwidth.

You're gonna burn out.

Because TIME is the #1 thing I hear from people as to WHY they can’t seem to get the revenue "results" they are looking for in their business.

And as I've been forced into a greatly reduced amount of hours I've been able to work due to the lockdown, I've had to figure out a way around it. I've had to figure out the answer to the question...

How do I get everything done in just 3 hours a day?

Which is what I'm sharing on this episode. 

On this episode:

  • The importance of leverage
  • Why you need to build long term assets that work again and again. For you.
  • How doing too much without the support of others is a fools game

And much more!

31 Oct 2019Jonathan Denwood: How To Use An eLearning Platform To Grow Your Service Business00:38:46

When I talk to most service business owners about growing their firm, the majority tell me their strategy is focused on getting more clients they can serve with their current offerings.

Which makes total sense of course. However, not many consider that there are alternative ways to grow your service business. And there’s one specifically that doesn’t require you to continue to add overhead and infrastructure to deliver the service itself…

I’m talking about eLearning and online courses. This could be through a stand-alone course, or using them in combination with your existing services to enhance your client’s experience, help to differentiate you from others in your space and charge higher fees. 

But if you haven’t considered eLearning as a viable option for you because you’re put off by all the “techy stuff”, then my guest today is going to remove that excuse and really open your eyes to the possibilities of adding an online element to your service offerings.

He is a fellow Brit but has made a very successful move to America, which is where he’s joining me from today. 

He is the Founder and CEO of WP-Tonic, where he helps his clients create online courses and eLearning platforms that can add a substantial additional revenue stream to your business!

So as his approach to growing a service-based business is one not many consider straight away, yet is more simple than you realize, I’m really looking forward to talking to my guest today, Jonathan Denwood!

On this episode:

  • What is eLearning?
  • How to use an eLearning platform to enhance your existing services
  • How to plan and build your own online course 
  • The 3 ways Jonathan attracts and catches clients for his business
  • And much more!

18 Feb 2021Alistair McBride: Negotiation Skills To Uncover Hidden Value In Every Deal01:00:32

Negotiation is something we all have to both accept, and get better at.

If you’re like most people, when you think about negotiation, you picture people talking to “the other side.” Whether you’re pitching to a client, negotiating a contract, or arguing over how much chocolate pudding is enough at dinner time, negotiators are people trying to persuade other people of their point of view.

But that’s only half the story.

And it’s why today I’ve invited a guest who is an expert in negotiation, and why persuading others is just part of what it takes to be successful.

Alistair McBride has started numerous small businesses, and today is a coach, facilitator and trainer who is also a regular guest lecturer at multiple universities in Ireland on topics such as Cognitive Behavioural Coaching, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation. He coaches executives and business owners across an array of industries, including software, law, aviation, telecoms, and corporate finance to name a few. Over the past few years he's been giving his clients the Psychological Edge in Negotiation and has a new program out called Goliath Negotiation Method.

Plus we help out another business leader on The Virtual Hotseat where we're answering the question...

How do i get clients now that events, exhibitions and meetups are out of the question?

29 Oct 2020Oren Greenberg: A Case Study On Using Thought Leadership To Become The Preeminent Authority In Your Industry, So That Clients Only Come To You00:53:32

One of the best ways to establish authority on your topic is to produce deep research on the subject allowing you to present a depth of knowledge that no one else has.

This allows you to define the category of your solution or brand from a client led perspective. After all, branding is all about being associated with specific needs of your ideal clients right?

But rather than giving a theoretical rhetoric on the value of thought leadership for growing a B2B business, I have brought on a guest who will bring this to life with an actual example of thought leadership in action, and how he is using it to grow both his business and his own personal authority and brand. 

Oren Greenberg is the founder of Kurve – a modular growth marketing consultancy, where he spends his days helping FTSE 250s and funded startups to navigate the perilous waters of growth and marketing.

On this episode:

  • The nuance differences between B2B and B2C marketing.
  • What is thought leadership?
  • The difference between thought leadership and content marketing.
  • What it really takes to create a genuine piece of thought leadership.
  • How to use your thought leadership piece to grow your business and personal authority.
  • Why becoming a thought leader is more about developing a leadership mindset, not just the thought...

15 Feb 2019How Thinking Like a Fish Will Grow Your Business00:25:34

 

In the first episode of The Client Catching Podcast, I’m doing a bit of a solo!

You'll get a taste of what to expect, and why you’ll want to make sure you don’t miss an episode!

I’ve started this podcast because I know that in the real world, running a business where you work directly with clients delivering a service, isn't all calm waters and plain sailing...

Winning new clients, finding good people for your team (and retaining them), managing the day-to-day, delivering a great service...

There's always work to do!

And then there’s marketing! That thing everyone tells you that you ‘should’ do more of..

Or that you just need to use their 'magic bullet' tactic (for a price) and all your worries are over.If only that were true. But marketing is much more involved than simply using some "flash in the pan" tactic...

  • You need the right message that attracts and educates people about the problem your business solves, in an honest and believable way before they can even consider becoming a client.
  • Then you need to get that message in front of the right person at the right time.
  • And then there’s that small detail of actually setting up the appointments, making the sales, bringing on clients and serving them at the highest level.

 

No wonder sometimes it feels next to impossible!

Which is why I’ve created this podcast to help take the pressure off, and show you what’s working for other successful businesses, so you can use these same strategies to grow yours!

In today’s episode:

  • Why If You Want To Catch "Big Fish" Clients, You Need The Right Bait!
  • How One Simple Shift In Perspective Can Change Everything For You, Your Business And Your Income.
  • One Of The First Things Every Human Being On The Planet Thinks When They Wake Up In The Morning, And Why It Matters For Your Business Growth.
  • The Science Behind Getting Attention For Your Business.
  • And Much More…

19 Mar 2020Tobin Slaven: The Most Direct Route To Revenue & Cash Flow In Your Business00:55:55

Pretty obvious, but without leads and sales opportunities no business can survive.

The problem is that too many businesses just aren’t equipped to generate enough quality sales opportunities to grow.

Probably because many are using outdated tactics that just aren't going to work in today’s social selling environment. For decades, marketing and sales teams have used high-volume outreach tactics to drive revenue OR they’ve sat around waiting for inbound leads and referrals.

But things are changing. The old way of doing business doesn’t cut it these days. Buyers have changed. They are more sophisticated. They are more discerning. And with so many offers being presented to them from so many sources, trust (for many) has become harder to win.

So what do you do?

Well my guest today Tobin Slaven from SalesMap.me is going to tell you! (and probably blow your mind in the process)

On this episode:

  • Confessions of a reformed digital marketer.
  • What are Conversations at Scale?
  • Why "Funnels" don't work the way they're sold to you.
  • Tobin's 4 Gears of Marketing.
  • How to fill your pipeline with interested and qualified prospects using LinkedIn.
  • How Tobin would get 3 clients in 30 days to save his business.

And much more!

25 Jun 2020Anthony Blatner: A LinkedIn Advertising Masterclass00:37:01

Today we’re going to be talking about a prime example of why the “wisdom of crowds” isn’t always the most reliable source of facts and why it’s important to sometimes ignore the dogma and TEST things for yourself!

Because today we’re talking about LinkedIn Advertising.

“LinkedIn ads are too expensive. They don’t work. Facebook is the only place to pay for ads.”

I could go on, but these are just some of the things I hear when it comes to advertising on LinkedIn.

The truth is, while they do require a different approach, LinkedIn ads can help your business reach a professional audience that have twice the buying power compared to other channels.

In fact as many as 65% of B2B marketers have acquired clients by using ads on LinkedIn.

But LinkedIn ads are their own category and require their own approach. So today you’ll learn how to make them work from my guest Anthony Blatner, who is a leading expert on generating a positive ROI from LinkedIn advertising.

He is the founder of Modern Media, an Advertising agency that helps B2B companies reach high-level decision makers at scale using LinkedIn Ads and technology.

And as there aren’t many out there sailing on the blue ocean of linkedIn Ads, and even fewer that have proven results, it’s safe to say that Anthony is one of the top LinkedIn ads experts in the industry, having managed millions in ad spend and generating over 100,000 new sales opportunities.

On this episode:

  • Why you should be looking at LinkedIn Ads if you sell B2B
  • The types of LinkedIn Ads
  • Why LinkedIn Ads aren’t as expensive as you think
  • The step by step process to generate leads with LinkedIn Ads
  • A seriously clever way to use LinkedIn Ads you’ll probably never have heard of

And much more!

Through his firm Unstoppable CEO, he helps service business entrepreneurs create leveraged marketing systems so they can spend less time on business development, and more time on what matters most.

So if you want to know how to get great clients at premium fees, and do it in an authoritative way without having to be all "salesy", you’re going to love listening to my guest today, Steve Gordon!

On this episode:

* Why marketing & selling a service is a whole different animal
* How to build trust and reduce risk in the mind of your ideal clients
* The 3 systems you need to grow your service business
* The ONE thing that will get you more clients
* Why a podcast can solve 2 of the biggest marketing challenges you face today
* The big “secret” about marketing tactics
* Why the way you’re being told to use “funnels” doesn’t work when selling a service
* The “silver bullet” for getting more clients (not what you think…)

16 Dec 2021Types of Strategic Alliance Agreements and Contracts That Maximise Profit And Avoids Rip Offs00:08:56

In the final part of my series on Strategic Alliances, I'm sharing types of strategic alliance agreements and contracts that maximise profit and avoids rip offs.

Not every Strategic Alliance requires a formal contract or agreement, especially things like co-marketing, podcast appearances or other forms of exposure. 

But when there's money, resources or a transfer of IP involved, it can make more sense to understand how these should be structured to protect each party. Just in case...

So check out the episode to learn about your options!

23 Nov 2021Why Most Strategic Alliances Are Doomed From The Start (And What To Do Instead)00:12:31

In part 6 of my mini series on Strategic Alliances, I'm going to show you how to avoid the mistakes most make when setting up Strategic Alliances and at the end show you a bunch of examples of how to avoid them. 

Because the truth is most potential strategic partnerships are doomed from the start. 

I don’t mean to be negative, but it’s true. 

Just think how many people you’ve had a “coffee date” with after meeting them at a networking event where you both agree it makes sense to refer business each other's way. 

How many referrals and leads came from this? I’m going to guess at not many. 

Maybe you got a few, but nowhere near the level of benefit and growth potential that there could have been for both of you. 

This happens because neither side took the initiative to make partnering an attractive proposition. One that’s easy to say yes to and has clear benefits and expectations for both parties. 

Simply reaching out and asking if they know anyone they could refer you to isn’t going to work very well... 

You need to get a little more creative than this if you’re going to get engagement and buy in from any potential partner. 

Armed with this knowledge, and the strategic foresight to understand the HUGE upside to partnerships, it’s not the wisest decision to leave things up to chance. 

YOU have to be the leader here.

The key to getting someone interested in partnering with you, is to present it as an opportunity that gets THEM excited about partnering with you by offering specific ideas for how you can support each other. 

These individual ideas eventually combine to form your Strategic Alliance Programme.

This Is How You’ll Stand Out 

Don’t do what most people who try (and fail) to build a Strategic Alliance Programme by making the other person do the work or try to figure things out. People are too busy for that when they don’t know you. 

So come up with ideas that are easy for them to say yes to.

And if you want some to start you off, listen to the episode!

Because when these partnerships develop, inbound referrals and leads become more consistent and opportunities close faster.

When you take a well structured and strategic approach to partnering, you go from being a nice idea your partners “might” get around to helping some day, to an irresistible “Business Growth Partner” they can’t stop raving about.

How To Stand Out And Attract Clients In A World Of Extroverts & Selfies: A Quietly Powerful Guide For Professional Introverts... (And Curious Extroverts!)

There's both a PDF download and bonus video version.

Essentially I created this after realising that, as an introvert who can at times be painfully shy, meaning that sometimes struggled to stand out and attract clients, I'm not alone!

So if you're an introvert like me, perhaps at some level you've felt this has held you back in your business?

Because even though you’ve been successful, you’ve always found it a little harder to attract clients in this age of social media and selfies, (and the thought of taking one, especially in public, makes you cringe…), than others who seem to embrace it.

If so, this guide could be your saviour!

02 Apr 2020Adam Franklin: LinkedIn Lead Generation00:45:04

If you suffer from the dreaded “feast / famine” in your business, then the chances are it's because your marketing is not being done consistently. 

Because without a systematic process powering your marketing, you end up skipping key activities when you're busy with clients, and then rushing trying to fill the pipeline when you're not.

And although it doesn't sound as sexy as the latest “shiny object marketing tactic” or “secret hack”, a systematic process for marketing that ensures all your key activities are done consistently is the closest thing there is out there to a “secret hack”, and is the foundation of all sustainable business growth.  

The good news is that this doesn’t have to be complicated, and exactly what my guest and I are going to be talking about today.

Adam Franklin is a professional speaker and the author of Amazon #1 bestseller Web Marketing That Works. His work has been featured in Forbes, Huffington Post, Entrepreneur and today is CEO of Bluewire Media where he teaches 1000s of clients how to win high value clients using LinkedIn via his online courses and coaching programs.

He also has an awesome name… ;-)

On this episode:

  • Adam's 3 Part LinkedIn Lead Generation Methodology
  • Why automation on LinkedIn is not a good idea
  • How to find your ideal clients on LinkedIn
  • The best way to start conversations on LinkedIn

13 Feb 20204 Big Business (& Life) Lessons I've Learned Turning 4000:27:22

I turn 40 this week (14th Feb 2020 for those seeing this in the future...). Not quite sure how that happened! 

After I mentioned this to a guest before an interview a few weeks ago, they asked me...

"What did you learn in your 30's that has prepared you for your 40's?"

I must admit, I couldn't answer this right there and then!

But it did get me thinking about the lessons I've learned, and I considered how they contribute to successful marketing.

And I decided to share what I came up with to (hopefully) help you!

Some of these are quite personal, and still hard to talk about. But as I believe business development is as much personal development as anything else, I didn't hold back.

19 Sep 2019Sean Donahoe & Phil Newton: Mastering The Art of Doing Less While Earning More [Part 2 of 2]00:33:34

This is the second installment of my 2 part interview with Sean Donahoe and Phil Newton from UnHustled.com. 

If you haven’t listened to part 1, I suggest you go back and start there or this may not make total sense!

In this second part of our interview, we continue discussing how to do things in a more streamlined, optimized and efficient way that yields much more significant results without having to trade time for money. 

On this episode:

  • The almost too simple way to grow your business without any complicated marketing.
  • Why a focus on conversations, NOT selling will actually win you more clients.
  • When you have a “solution stack”, you open the potential for multiple new streams of revenue (and you don’t need to deliver it all)...
  • Why being “King of The Hill” is the simplest way to grow your business, and how to wear that crown.

And much more!

I also wanted to let you know about a brand new free resource I've just released called...

How To Stand Out And Attract Clients In A World Of Extroverts & Selfies: A Quietly Powerful Guide For Professional Introverts... (And Curious Extroverts!)

There's both a PDF download and bonus video version.

Essentially I created this after realising that, as an introvert who can at times be painfully shy, meaning that sometimes struggled to stand out and attract clients, I'm not alone!

So if you're an introvert like me, perhaps at some level you've felt this has held you back in your business?

Because even though you’ve been successful, you’ve always found it a little harder to attract clients in this age of social media and selfies, (and the thought of taking one, especially in public, makes you cringe…), than others who seem to embrace it.

If so, this guide could be your saviour!

04 Aug 2021How Do I Find Qualified Leads For My Service?00:14:50

Our biggest growth challenge is consistently finding the right podcasters for our service. It's tough to narrow down a prospect list to separate the hobby podcasters from those using it as a lead gen channel and investing in the resources to produce a professional quality show. 

It's more difficult to find qualified leads vs say a B2B professional services provider who can use Sales Navigator to filter down their exact target market with the budget for their services.

What would you advise?"  

This is today's listener question that Adam King and his guest Roland Vanbuchin brainstorm and mastermind solutions to on The Virtual Hot Seat section of The B2B Growth Think Tank.

05 Mar 2020The No.1 Success Factor For Business Growth00:38:12

I must admit, when I started The Client Catching Podcast, I wasn't sure whether it would be a success, or another "shiny object" that got me all excited at the start, only to fizzle out into the "podfade graveyard"...

Starting a podcast was actually pretty easy. Keeping a podcast going is another thing!

Apparently around 75% of published podcasts are no longer in production. So you'll have to forgive me for indulging in a little celebration! Not only reaching this milestone of 50 episodes, but for being (mostly) consistent with it!

I've been able to share some amazing stories, strategies and conversations with some truly remarkable guests. Each and everyone has shared amazing insights and value around how they've achieved their success. 

But there's one thing that has stood out above all else. Once success factor that seems almost universal across all of their success. So perhaps I've "cracked the success code"...

I share this insight, as well as reveal the top 5 most listened to episodes from the first 50 episodes of The Client Catching Podcast, with a short summary of each.

On this episode:

  • The number 1 success factor for business growth 
  • The common themes of successful growth
  • The top 5 most listened to episodes from the first 50 episodes of The Client Catching Podcast

17 Sep 2020Joe Apfelbaum: How To Build A Wildly Successful B2B Personal Brand On LinkedIn00:44:17

We all have a personal brand. And it’s so important, even if you don’t think it is. In fact as I realised, not having a personal brand is... also a personal brand!

But there’s a lot of confusion around personal branding. It’s almost become a bit of a buzzword. So perhaps reputation is a better way of describing it...

Simply, personal branding is how you prove to your ideal clients that you're worthy of their trust. It isn't bragging. It's not being narcissistic either. It's your opportunity to share with the others how you use your talents to serve them.

So today I’m delighted to be talking to Joe Apfelbaum who’s personal brand stood out to me as a big, beaming, emoji happy face of light in an ocean of sameness on LinkedIn.

He’s the CEO of Ajax Union, one of the fastest growing companies in America, and founder of Evrygreen Networking where he helps his clients go from lurkers to influencer on linkedIn by building your personal brand. He has a PHD in results and has over 1000 selfies with his audience (pre-covid of course) and is living proof of the power of a personal brand.

So if you want to become known for your expertise and have clients coming to you, Joe is the guy to listen to!

On this episode:

  • How Joe transformed from shy "computer nerd", to global influencer with one of the fastest growing companies in America using his personal brand.
  • The tangible, bottom line benefits of a personal brand.
  • Big myths of personal branding and how to avoid the common mistakes.
  • Why personal branding isn't about being famous.
  • Real world tactical applications for building a profitable personal brand on LinkedIn.
  • What Joe would do if he had to start again from scratch.
  • Why there's almost certainly 6 to 7 figures of untapped revenue opportunity hiding in plain sight for you right now

And much more!

“We’ve decided to start running some paid ads, probably mostly Facebook to start with, but it’s pretty overwhelming trying to figure it all out. It’s just as overwhelming knowing who’s actually good at doing this. I don’t know if I should have a staff member learn and pay for their training, or pay an agency. What would you advise?”

25 Feb 2021Dan Netting: The RIGHT Way To package and Sell Your Expertise00:44:08

2020 changed the way most “traditional” businesses that mainly operate offline work, and many struggled to adapt to a virtual world. 

But that struggle needn't be quite as hard, as so much of the value people like this have is locked up in their expertise, skills and ability to get their clients results. They just need a different way of delivering this to their clients. 

And my guest today knows exactly how to help you do this!

Dan Netting has spent 8 years building a business around packaging and selling expertise online, all in a very niche and traditionally offline based industry, motorcycle track riding techniques. 

After learning what it takes to create amazing online learning experiences that really deliver, today he helps other coaches, consultants and trainers take their expertise online, with a focus on creating something that's built on the foundations of the  positive impact it has on other people.

Plus we help out another business leader on The Virtual Hotseat where we're answering the question...

“I know how valuable it is to build my influence with video, but I’m so uncomfortable doing it. What’s the most impactful way of doing this so I don’t hurt my brand by being so bad?”

29 Apr 2021Jim Karrh: Grow Your Business By Managing Your Message01:01:18

Joining me today to talk business growth and help out a fellow business leader on The Virtual Hotseat is Jim Karrh. 

Jim has an expertise in helping businesses break through the noise and grow through more effective and consistent customer conversations.  

This is something I 100% see as a huge challenge, as too many professionals today are missing out. They have a lot to offer, but their message isn’t right, or they lack enough messengers to share it, or the entire process seems unmanageable.

Jim is sharing strategies built on years of success as a consumer researcher, award-winning corporate marketing leader, and now consultant, speaker, and coach to businesses ranging from startups to members of the Fortune 500. 

He’s also the author of The Science of Customer Connections: Manage Your Message to Grow Your Business and the host of “The Manage Your Message Podcast.” 

As this is one of my personal favourite topics and a huge growth lever when you nail it, you're going to get a lot of value out of this episode!

Plus we help out another business leader on The Virtual Hotseat where we're answering the question...

“How do I effectively differentiate my business in a very crowded market?”

19 Nov 2020Annette Ferguson: Find Clarity In Your Numbers & Increase Your Wealth By Putting Your Profit First00:42:57

Most of us that start businesses focus on the vision, and get bored with the details. Things like working out finances are, to most of us, frankly a little dull.

Or at least that’s what I used to think! How wrong I was! Because there’s nothing LESS boring than feeling in control of the money you make AND keep from your business. And today my guest Annette Ferguson is going to prove it to you!

Annette is known as The Money Magician, helping 6/7/8 figure service based entrepreneurs find clarity in their numbers, increase their wealth, and take more money home from their business.

She is a former Financial Controller for Goldman Sachs where she was responsible for one of their biggest managed funds, and today has 10+ years experience of running her online business as a Chartered Accountant, Certified Profit First Professional, profit mentor and income strategist.

And by the end of this episode you’re going to realise that Accountant’s don’t always fit their “dull” stereotype, and you may even call yours up after to ask why they don’t look at your business in this way...

On this episode:

  • The rollercoaster journey of running a service business.
  • The first place to look to increase your profits.
  • Why small choices can add up to big hits to your profits.
  • How aligning yourself with the credibility of others can lead to serious growth.
  • Why qualifications alone won't make you stand out, and what will instead.
  • What happens when you put Profit First.

And much more!

05 Dec 2019The Power of Partnerships00:10:20

You and I both know one thing.

You can't grow a business UNLESS you have leads.

People who have the pain point that you solve AND are looking for a solution.

But are you trying to get your leads 'THE HARD WAY' by having to find all the leads yourself or having to pay all the time to get a lead?

Now don’t get me wrong, I think you should have multiple marketing channels, however it amazes me that very few people utilise Partnerships as well as they could.

The problem is when you don’t leverage into other people’s networks, clients and databases then you are stuck doing EVERYTHING YOURSELF, and I’m not sure about you, but I know time is already a major problem.

Bottom line... Great businesses are always looking for partners to help promote them into new networks. 

On this episode:

  • The mindset you must have for successful partnerships
  • Why you need to develop "interdependence"
  • Great partnerships are first and foremost built on CLIENT NEEDS
  • The concept of "upstream" and "Downstream" when finding perfect partners

And much more!

27 May 2021Colin Shaw: Why Customer Experience Is The Ultimate Growth Strategy01:10:30

Joining me today to talk business growth and help out a fellow business leader on The Virtual Hotseat is Colin Shaw.

Colin is one of the original pioneers of the concepts of “Customer Experience”, having written no less than 7 books on the subject.

Not only that, but he has been recognized by LinkedIn as one of the ‘World's Top 150 Business Influencers’, and is one of the small number of ‘Official LinkedIn Influencers’ with 289,444 followers.

His management consultancy Beyond Philosophy LLC, has been selected by The Financial Times as one of the best management consultancies for the last three years in a row, and on top of helping his clients grow by helping them focus on finding value and identifying hidden, unmet customer needs that are PROVEN to drive revenue, he is also the co-host of the highly successful Intuitive Customer podcast.

And I must admit from a purely selfish perspective, because he’s taken my own world view of “thinking like the fish, not the fisherman” to a whole different level, I got seriously excited at the prospect of “geeking out” a little on exactly why Customer Experience is one of the highest leverage growth strategies out there, and how you can apply it.

10 Sep 2019Matt Johnson: How to Build Strategic Relationships & Create Authority With Podcasts00:42:05

Today’s episode is going to be a little bit “meta”...

That’s because we’re talking about using a podcast, both your own and appearing on others, to build your reputation as a leader in your industry and attract clients. 

In fact, I saw a post on LinkedIn the other day from Gary Vaynderchuck saying that starting a niche podcast is one of the most incredible opportunities for anyone in B2B. 

So if he sees the power in podcasts, maybe it’s time to take the plunge!

But rather than listen to me ramble on about how transformative podcasting can be for you and your business, today I’m talking to Matt Johnson. 

Matt is a fellow marketer, podcast expert, and founder of podcast PR & production agency, Pursuing Results.

On this episode:

  • Why podcasts are the “New Networking”
  • Matt’s journey from Real Estate, to musician, to podcast expert.
  • How a single sentence can transform how you attract clients.
  • How to use a “pitch assistant” to get featured on the right podcasts & leverage outside audiences to grow your business. 
  • Why podcasting is all about “being in the right pond to get more fish on your hook”.
  • The simple weekly podcasting formula Matt uses to get his clients results.
  • How to win clients and generate revenue from podcasting.

And much more!

How To Stand Out And Attract Clients In A World Of Extroverts & Selfies: A Quietly Powerful Guide For Professional Introverts... (And Curious Extroverts!)

There's both a PDF download and bonus video version.

Essentially I created this after realising that, as an introvert who can at times be painfully shy, meaning that sometimes struggled to stand out and attract clients, I'm not alone!

So if you're an introvert like me, perhaps at some level you've felt this has held you back in your business?

Because even though you’ve been successful, you’ve always found it a little harder to attract clients in this age of social media and selfies, (and the thought of taking one, especially in public, makes you cringe…), than others who seem to embrace it.

If so, this guide could be your saviour!

27 Feb 2019Episode No.3: Stop trying to solve the wrong problem00:49:18

Today I’m going to try and address one of the most common questions I get when speaking with people that run a professional service business.

“How can I get more leads for my business?”

I’d say about 9 of of 10 people I talk to ask me a version of this, so I know it’s a problem a lot of businesses face.  

Essentially what this question tells me, is that the person asking it is thinking…

All my problems would be solved if I just had more leads.

If only it were that easy…

In today’s episode:

  • The Real Reason You’re Not Getting Enough Clients
  • The Only Three Things You Need In Order To Catch More Clients
  • Why You Need A Process For Your Marketing
  • How If You’re Only Playing The Short Game, You’re Seriously Missing Out
  • And Much More…

Enjoy!

As a listener of The Client Catching Podcast, I’d love to help you crush it with your own Client Catching Ecosystem.

So why not schedule a call with me at www.thinklikeafish.co/schedulediscovery   

What you and I will do is discuss your business, your goals and see if and how we can help you achieve them. I’ll help you develop your own mini roadmap for how you can attract, catch and grow more clients for your business.

If you get nothing else from it, it'll be a deep dive with me on your marketing and ways in which I would suggest you can make it more efficient.

30 Jun 2019The Single Shift That Will Simplify How You Attract Clients [CCE 2 of 5]00:15:57

In this 5 part series I’m taking a deep dive into the exact strategy that I use to “catch” clients. 

If you haven’t listened to part 1, I suggest you listen to that first as these may not make as much sense if you listen out of order...

My goal in this series is very simple. I’m going to show you a time tested strategy with thousands of years of success to back up it’s effectiveness, that I’ve added a modern twist to that will help you get more clients from less selling, in a way that feels natural and authentic.

Both to you, and your clients.  

I’m going to show you something I call The Client Catching Ecosystem that can drastically simplify the way you attract and catch new clients and reduce the overwhelm, so you’ll know exactly what you need to do week in, week out to market your business, in just 2-4 hours per week. 

On this episode:

  • Focus on _______ NOT tactics…
  • The one strategy that outperforms everything to give you a predictable flow of clients.
  • How “Fish Farming” will grow your business.
  • One of the most profitable ways to scale your business while making an impact, so you can increase your bottom line and amplify your message out into the world.

24 Dec 2020The King’s 2020 Christmas Speech00:18:57

On this episode I have a festive message for you with my King's Speech of 2020!

Clearly it's been a very different year to the one we all expected this time in 2019.

And whilst there's been plenty of challenge, personal anguish and restrictions, there's also been a few reasons to be positive.

So to round off the year, I share my take on the year that was 2020, and share my own story of turning tragedy into hope. I really didn't expect to go there...

On this episode:

  • Why I'm not being a Humbug this year (even if Darth Vader is...)
  • How I've focused on only trying to control the things I can actually control.
  • The Antidote to Isolation
  • Even in the hardest of times, you still need to find gratitude (my own story of tragedy and what I'm grateful for as a result)

Merry Christmas!

17 Sep 2019Sean Donahoe & Phil Newton: Mastering The Art of Doing Less While Earning More [Part 1/2]00:37:10

We have another first for The Client Catching Podcast today…

I’m not just talking to one expert, but two! And these guys are quite the double act, let me tell you…

But before I reveal who they are, let me ask you how different your business (and life) would be if you could get more results from doing a lot less? 

Well that’s what my guests today Sean Donahoe and Phil Newton focus on helping you achieve. They call it being “UnHustled”. Doing things in a more streamlined, optimized and efficient way that yields much more significant results without having to trade time for money. 

Through their content and programs at UnHustled.com, they share how you can free up your time, work smarter and enjoy life more.

Which I’m pretty sure most of us would love to know how to do!

As we had a longer than usual conversation with two experts, the full interview has been split into two. This is part one, part two will be available shortly.

We also did this as a Facebook Live video, which you can watch here if you want to watch the whole interview all at once!

On this episode:

  • How Phil & Sean arrived at the same destination, but for very different reasons.
  • What does it mean to be “UnHustled” in your business?
  • How to design your business around the life you want, not the other way round.
  • The simple 3 step process to free up hours of your time every week.

And much more!
