Schnapps and a Greek Salad

Running a business isn’t just about the destination; it’s also about the journey and the joy it brings today. Take John, for example, a bar owner in a Greek seaside village.
Despite his bar’s modest size and less-than-modern decor, John’s focus was on connecting with tourists, many returning year after year. His secret? A blend of genuine hospitality and simple pleasures like free Schnaps shots and family outings on his fishing boat.
This approach not only drew crowds but built a loyal customer base that kept coming back, ensuring his bar’s success amidst competition.
John’s strategy highlights the power of building relationships and offering memorable experiences. It’s not about having the fanciest venue or the biggest marketing budget but about enjoying what you do and making sure your customers do too. This ensures not just future success but immediate rewards as well.
Are you making the most of your business journey, creating lasting connections, and enjoying the rewards today?

Authentic Vibes in an AI Business World

This week’s focus on sales choreography really dove into the essence of the authentic experience we provide our customers. Which is key to standing out and having success.

So we need to ask ourselves if our interactions are genuine or leave people with a suspicious or sour taste in their mouths – or even worse, no taste at all.

The real value lies not in trendy domain suffixes but in the trustworthiness and quality of the offerings.

As Dr. Vito showed, authenticity not only allows pricing freedom, but also drives referrals and attracts profitable customers. It transforms ordinary transactions into memorable experiences, making customers eager to choose you, despite cheaper options.

What Hype, Anguilla And $30 Million Can Teach You..

Remember the dot-com craze of the late ’90s? Well, history’s repeating itself with the .ai domain rush. Anguilla, a small territory, is set to boost its GDP by 10% or $30M, thanks to owning the .ai suffix.
Companies are scrambling to get a piece of the AI pie, but here’s the catch: simply adding .ai to your brand doesn’t elevate your customer experience or the value you deliver. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig.
Real value lies in authenticity, something Perry Marshall emphasized in our recent Titans Xcelerator Mastermind session. In an era of deep fakes and mass commoditization, people crave genuine experiences.
Just look at concert ticket prices soaring while music becomes virtually free. It’s not just about the product; it’s about the authentic experience. So, what’s your take on this? Are we focusing too much on gimmicks rather than genuine value?

The Ticks in your Business

Today I contrast another real life experience at a Vet that was completely opposite the positive experience with Dr. Vito. In this instance, there were red flags literallty crawling around before I gave the vaccine to the dog. I didn’t heed them and it ended up becoming an emergency situation. Needless to say, I’ve never gone back there and have told several others my experience (from which they shared awful similar ones).
Have Zero tolerance for any ticks in your business. They will suck the blood and profits out of your business.
