What if I told you that your path to a profitable business was paved with give instead of take? What if I said that the best way to market your business was to ask instead of tell?
That’s not what most business books will tell you, but there are other ways to do business, and those aren’t the only books where we find wisdom, either…
My guest this week is Dean Hankey, Marketing Magician and People Pro, and his preferred process for publicity and profitability is to ASK. As you’ll hear him quote from James 4:2 – “You have not because you ask not,” and only gets better from there!
Whatever your beliefs, you’ll be encouraged by: Dean’s super-simple 3-step VIP keys to success, where to start with any endeavor, how giving leads to getting, what determines the quality of your success, why you shouldn’t be scared to pitch to the media, what you need if you’re going to do good in the world (this answer may surprise you) … and more!
"The more you ask, the more you get. It’s a sheer numbers game.” – Dean Hankey
