Aston Merrygold: Rob Interviews with Global Pop Star from JLS [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Interview with Aston Merrygold, former member of JLS, one of the biggest ever boy bands with 10,000,000 records sold. Aston’s since been a judge on a dance talent show and appeared on Strictly Come Dancing. He’s appeared in adverts for Coca-Cola, Samsung and Tesco. Rob’s met with Aston at his dance studio in Vauxhall to discuss success, wealth, leveraging social media, reinventing your career and dealing with the business side of celebrity. KEY TAKEAWAYS You’re now pursuing a career as a solo artist, that must be different to working with your bandmates. I bet there’s upsides and downsides, do you want to talk about that Aston? Yeah, I guess the only real difference is the social. you'd be in a room with your friends, business partners, having a heated business discussion, everyone's got their own ideas and nothing ever arrives to arguments or blows, but from an outside perspective it can be quite awkward. It looks like we're going at each other, but that's just the passion. Now on my own, it's my way or the highway. I prefer it that way, 100%! I'm so thankful to the rest of the guys and my team, but now being on my own I can finally be myself and express myself fully, not contribute 25% to a four-piece. How do you want to be known and remembered, Aston? Well, I want to be remembered as one of the greats, and I think if you don't want that, then you're in the wrong industry. If I could have an eighth, a third or a slice of something someone like Michael Jackson had or Justin Timberlake, more recently. If I could get a slice of their success, I'd be more than happy! Music or dance specifically, or the fusion of both, Aston? Do you know what? I think it's just entertainment. People ask me what I do for a living, and I tell them entertainment. It's everything, music, from a writing perspective, from a performance perspective, dance-wise, acting, everything. I love everything to do with this industry. Working with business partners, sometimes that passion can overflow, sometimes you can fall out, how did you and your band learn to deal with and overcome that? To be honest, I don't know why, we just did! There was no learning process. As individuals we just wanted to fight the good fight. We would put it to each other like, "If we do this we could be here, if we do that we could be there..." It was all about where we needed to be. What was best for us as a collective. I was the youngest of the four so I tended not to take things as seriously, when it came to the business aspect I was more than happy to give my opinion and not back down, but ultimately I thought that was why we outsourced, hiring business managers, administrators and consultants, to make those decisions on our behalf. How much of it was agents and labels telling you what to do and how much of it was you saying, "Wait a minute, we want to do this." Well, I'd say about 50\50. We were trusted with our opinions which was great. There were times when we trusted the label, sometimes great, sometimes not so great. Just the way of the industry. Sometimes our hits which we didn't think would succeed were massive and other times the releases we thought would be huge just didn't hit the mark. Luck of the draw, half the time. We would have to trust our lives to these people and we had a great run, I think I can speak on behalf of myself and the boys when I say it was the best thing we'd ever done. So, from your position, why do you guys feel like you moved on? I think it was the perfect turn, I'm still in JLS, I'm always going to be in JLS, but we were young when we entered the industry, then we got our break. We're all now in our mid 20's, we've already had a fantastic career, we have time to pursue other dreams! Five albums take a lot of time, there's been a lot of tours and it was the thought of signing the deal for another five albums and being contracted all over again. Now we're all starting families, it seemed to us that we were at the top of our game, didn't want to overstay our welcome and then if we're welcome back then we're welcome back! We're more than happy with where JLS left.Was it scary, leaving the industry to try other things? Hell yeah! It was so scary, because I'd been cocooned. For the last 7/8 years I'd lived by the diary, having cars pick me up at certain times to take me to meetings and events at certain times. From life being handled by every aspect to getting the reigns back to my own life was definitely scary, but I was free. I got to start again with all the knowledge and wisdom of the industry which I didn't have before, it was a rush! You seem totally laid back about transitioning career and going from being massive to starting from scratch, Aston. What would you say to people who aren't as laid back as you and they're scared? Well, you can look at fear one or two ways; it can over could you and make you introverted, or you can take it upon yourself and admit it's scary. There's a difference jumping out of a plane with a parachute and without one. Regardless of whether you have one or not, it's scary. Jumping without one, it'll only ever end one way, with one you still have a safety net which may not work but at least you confront it and take it head on. Nowadays on Social Media you can be absolutely killed. One wrong remark or faux-pas and that could be your career done within a matter of hours, regardless of what's happened. It's as cut-throat as that. Once you realise and know that, life won't be so stressful! You might as well just be like, "Alright, well I'll try again." Is that faith? Is that belief in yourself? Is that confidence? Is that accepting of your industry and career and how it can be or is it all of those, Aston? It's all of them, it has to be. Sometimes I can see the bad sides of all those things within the industry and think you can be too confident. You might as well be naked on stage and say, "There you go, judge away." Has the industry changed you? Yeah, definitely. I used to go out with my mates from uni, early twenties, same as everyone else. The only difference was that I was I had money so we could really enjoy ourselves and the media perceived me to be showing off. What else would you be doing on a weekend with your friends from uni at that age, going out every night obviously! Do I have work tomorrow? Yeah of course, but I'm fine! So you've talked about these glass ceilings to smash through, what's your glass ceiling and how're you going to smash through it? The next glass ceiling is just getting music out there. Letting people know that I'm a solo artist now. Not many people know it. Music's based mainly online now, it's ever-changing and you can so quickly and easily get lost. It's me having the courage to step back and take a harder look at it and evaluating how I want to approach it. At first I was like, "Yeah I want to chuck anything out and do whatever." Whereas now I'm like, "Now I have to chuck it out in the right way." Do you think some of the purists struggle with how fast music and content are changing? Yes! I had a meeting the other day with a great friend of mine who works for a label and he got pissed off with me for talking on my phone. He said, "Stop talking, I've heard your stuff, let people hear it and decide!" Get your content out there. Whether 10 people here it or 10,000,000 people hear it, you'll effect change. People think they should wait for the perfect time but there is not perfect time. It's ever-changing, so fast paced! People are now starting to put their own truth out to the world. Podcasts, YouTube, Social Media, etc. People want honesty, but you're damned if you do and damned if you don't if when for example your niche is writing sad songs and you decide to write a happy one, some of your followers may disapprove but at least you're being authentic. Too often we aim to please everybody and don't want to be judged too harshly. A lot of people are really intrigued about the business side of your career, did you show an interest in that or did you just want to go and do entertainment? At first, I was definitely happy-go-lucky, thinking business was cool but then I'd get invited to an accounting meeting and I'd think, "Perfect..." Then the taxes came and I wanted to know who was taking my money! As it went on I wondered why hadn't they taught me about this at school? All these avenues and options, I don't know why it took me to reach a certain age for it to click. In the early stages money was coming in thick and fast, unreal! First I was partying, then I wanted to buy a house, then the business aspect start to get more real. Then I started to analyse why the volume of gigs in the first part of the year was more than the third part of the year, etc. I started to realise there was a business cycle behind it all. A preparation period, a release period, etc. A template every artist follows. People are launching from yesterday. "I'm gonna be in the studio tomorrow, everyone out there, check out this song that I posted last night." The rule book's been thrown out the window! Slade wrote a Christmas number one 40 years ago and they're still milking £500,000 per year from it! Cristiano Ronaldo gets €300,000 per tweet if he does a brand endorsement. There's some downsides to Social Media but if you want to set up a business or be an artist or creative, surely it's gotta be the best time in history?! You get a small tripod for £5, set your camera up, start singing or dancing or whatever and start selling products! Have you embraced all the Social Media, are you quite active? Instagram and visual things I love, things like Twitter, not so much. For me, Twitter's maybe 90% negative and 10% positive. You get a lot of opinions when people post music but aren't ready to perform in front of large crowds of people. You want to be true to your art and your work and you could spend 30 years crafting your work, never be perfect, get still always be judged by purist critics. Social Media today, you can dictate the terms. If you like the comments, get involved. If you hate it, turn it off, if you're an introvert you can do a podcast because nobody can see your face! There's ways around it now, there's lanes, avenues, ways people can really express themselves. Building multiple streams of income and making hay while the sun shines. I've seen a lot a lot of people who've become very successful and then relaxed. You never know when there could be another recession. In your world Aston, you can be the best and then you can be gone. Do you think about building income streams, having multiple business interest endorsements? What are your thoughts on streams of income and making hay while the sun shines? I'm 110% up for building these streams of income. As an artist I choose when I get paid. If I don't want to get paid, I don't go out and work. It doesn't work for me. You're never too successful! There's always bills to pay and people to provide for. We're sitting in one of my avenues now. There's always a bigger picture. I'd like ten of these, dotted around the country, dotted around the world. You've got a business partner in this venture. How important is having that business partner, what benefit have you got? It's nice to always have the other perspective, coming from a band it's nice to bounce ideas. At the same time, when I'm touring, I need someone to hold down the fort. If something comes up within the business which I can't handle straight away, he can handle that. It's nice having a business partner that's totally on your wavelength. Gold dust! People say you shouldn't go into business with friends. I say life's too short to go into business with people purely for commercial benefit and not enjoy your time together, especially if you succeed. Surely, you'd want to succeed with your friends and people you care about?! If they're true friends, you'll never run into any worries. They'll all eventually show their true colours. The best advice you've ever received, if you can remember it? From Seal, actually. One of the greats. He told me, "Enjoy it." Regardless of whether you're performing in front of 50 people at a local concert or 50,000 in an arena, enjoy it. We're all rushing everything we ever do, so slow down, soak it up. Worst advice? Honestly, I've never had bad advice. If I've ever had advice which didn't go according to plan, I'd learn from it, which would be invaluable anyway. Going against my gut always bites me. A myth about the industry or a celebrity or someone in the media which most people don't know about? When you get £1,000,000 you don't actually get £1,000,000! Why didn't they teach you in school that if you're an employee, when you get paid, you lose 40% to tax?! Management, agents, staff, whomever it may be, they all get a slice too. So once all of the overheads are cleared you're left with around £200,000/£300,000... Don't ever believe the newspapers! If I did six or seven of those gigs, then I'd be looking at earning that kind of money. Anything you strongly believe in the world that you'd like to change and put your stamp on? The Social Media is such a curse and such a blessing at the same time. People use it for so much good but at the same time you have to filter through so much rubbish and negativity to find any scrap of it. I'd like to put more filters and choice for people. The theme that's emerged in this interview is that there's two sides to this reality. Social media is a bit negative, but we can put our products and content out to the world in five minutes. Celebrity's all good or celebrity's all bad... There's a choice. You can always choose how you look at things and approach them. What does the word disruptive mean to you? Now? A four-and-a-half-month old baby screaming at 2am! Personally, for me being disruptive is probably more of a good thing. Music is always disrupting the airways and people's vision and hears. Music that disrupts popular, conventional music creates its own undefined genre. I enjoy proving that there aren't any rules! BEST MOMENTS The best thing about building a dance studio underneath a railway bridge is that there’s no sound restrictions, so if clients want to have their music playing at top volume, they can. It's good that clients hear music going on when they arrive, if it was silent then it'd feel like something was wrong. The smell adds to it too! I never felt the need to push buttons. If someone was feeling a bit tender over a business decision or something similar, I'd tend to back off and give them some time and space. There's no ceiling. Every ceiling you see is made of glass and if you don't smash through it then you're going to get stuck. I'm going to invest in myself instead of waiting for years for the knock on the door from the big label. Everybody's putting their stuff out through their own means. That one bad review out of the 1,000 decent ones really doesn't matter! Don't fixate on it. If I sit out home all day, doing nothing, it's not long before the phone stops ringing. I have to go out, make myself known, do shows, take appointments, etc. because if I don't do it now then my family will be in trouble. Focus yourself on what you've got, not what you've not got. I realised Social Media was a daily thing. Instagram, Twitter, people wanted to see all of you, not just the music. Sometimes I would grow my hair for campaigns, sometimes you'd see a yearly cycle within a day! As you said, happiness is a choice. Now it feels like, well that's just common sense, why would I not want to be happy? It's quite alluring and tempting, the gossip, the bad news, it's an attractive thing for some people. When my little boy came along, I thought he needs everything I didn't have when I was growing up, regardless of whether I can buy it right now or not.

Ask me Anything LIVE! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Ask me Anything LIVE! [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Today Rob opens up the floor to you, in a very rare ‘ask me anything’ episode Rob answers all your burning questions from social media to personal branding, nothing is off-limits. Discover the impact Clubhouse can have on your personal brand, how to overcome your fears of rejection and how finding a brilliant workforce, can help you feel liberated.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If 2020 has taught us anything it is to be agile, think fast, decide fast and act fast. Start now and get perfect later. These lessons are always presenting themselves to you however, in light of the pandemic and the lockdown and having to adjust your business model, those that adapted quickly survived and grew throughout the year. Those that did not take the opportunity really struggle.   Older social media platforms such as Facebook are killing creators organic reach both on their pages and in their supporter programmes with reach being as low as 17%. Whilst there are some things you can do to boost your reach, the algorithm is not always in your favour. Clubhouse does not yet have reach issues, which is why some creators are focusing more of their time on the platform, to ensure higher engagement rates.   The biggest fear is always rejection and ridicule. You should try to overcome this fear every day, even though it may hurt you. You can overcome your fear of rejection by understanding that you have more to give to the world and knowing that you are equally worthy of being valued and loved like everyone else. Know that if you don’t overcome those fears, you will never have the lifestyle that you want and make the impact that you want.   One thing that will allow you to work on the business, rather than in the business is by finding yourself a brilliant MD. Hire an ‘Ops Manager’ train them up and ensure you are loyal to them. Teach them your SOP’s, systems and processes and see that you serve them until they get good enough that they can serve you. You need a great PA to free yourself of all the minutiae so you can free yourself to focus on income-generating tasks.   BEST MOMENTS “I am doubling down on my content.” “That is one of the reasons I have spent to much time on Clubhouse because you don’t get that.” “That is going to be the best way to liberate yourself.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

RANT: The MYTH of Impostor Syndrome v2.0 [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: The MYTH of Impostor Syndrome v2.0 [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Have you ever felt like you are your own imposter? Join Rob as he discusses why imposter syndrome is a myth. Discover why when you label yourself with imposter syndrome you make out something is wrong with you, how imposter syndrome is just emotions reacting to your new environment and why just because you have failed at something, does not mean you are a failure.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When you label yourself with imposter syndrome you make out that there is something wrong with you. The feelings you have when you have imposter syndrome are normal, you are supposed to have those feelings.   All imposter syndrome is, is an emotion. You may be feeling nervous, inexperienced, subordinated or out of your comfort zone, that all it is. That is a good emotion to have, it is normal to feel those feelings.   You have a myriad of these emotions and these are all really useful emotions. When you start something new, you want to feel humble to the point where you are a hungry student eager to learn from the best, the imposter syndrome keeps you in your position.   You are good enough. You are not a failure if you fail, you are not an imposter if you feel this imposter syndrome. These are just emotions, you may not know what your emotions are and you may feel confused about them.   Every human emotion is useful and necessary otherwise you wouldn’t feel it. Emotions are simply feedback for the environment, so you feel good when something in the environment makes you feel safe and you feel bad when an environment challenges you.   BEST MOMENTS “Too many people are making these labels.” “Should you have imposter syndrome about jumping out of a plane without a parachute? Yes you should!” “You are good enough.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Marisa Peer: Expert Therapist on Sex, Orgasms & Building Self Confidence [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Marisa Peer: Expert Therapist on Sex, Orgasms & Building Self Confidence [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

World renowned speaker, transformational therapist and best selling author Marisa Peer joins Rob today to discuss everything from the importance of a healthy sex life to having a success mindset. Discover the importance that sex plays in living a healthy and fulfilled life, how building your personal brand requires you to be brave and why the whole world needs to be disrupted.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you have a healthy sex life then you will have a more fulfilled life. Sex has been proven to help you live longer. In all of the worlds blue zones (areas of the world where people live the longest) the people who were living the longest where having regular sex, even in their 80’s and 90’s Studies show that sex has got so much more to do for you than a women becoming pregnant, it releases stress, makes you feel good and gives you energy.   What often happens with successful people is they look at their past and they say ‘yes but..’ followed by an excuse as to why they believe they are a bad person. They have a terrible guilt which all comes down to the same thing. They all believe that they are not enough because when they were a child their needs were not met.   It is too scary for a child to work out that their parents are lacking, that is terrifying. . We have to idolise our parents and therefore we make everything our own fault. You need to fix these issues at source. All you have to do is reactivate what you are born with, a certainty that you are enough. When you know you are enough, it changes everything and it allows other people to know that too.   You have to be unconventional and brave to build your own brand. You have to be prepared to have a message that some people dont like and will really call you out on. If you know that you are doing good stuff with a good heart then it is okay to go out there and be true to yourself. Do not be scared of other people and what they might think about it.   80% of success is down to mindset, you need to have the mindset that says ‘I can do this’. Belief without talent will take you further than talent without belief, but if you have both you will be unstoppable. You can have all the talent in the world but without belief you will not go anywhere.   You should disrupt and the whole world needs to be disrupted at some point. Disruptive people do things because they think outside the box, it should be done more not less.   BEST MOMENTS “It is not just the sex itself. It is something so bonding, mystical and magical.” “I get to change the ending of their story.” “His whole life changed in a dime.” “Be true to yourself.”   ABOUT THE GUEST Marisa Peer is a world renowned speaker, Rapid Transformational Therapy trainer and best-selling author.

The Traits of Great Entrepreneurs [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

The Traits of Great Entrepreneurs [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Discover today the many great traits that entrepreneurs all over the world possess. Join Rob as he discloses all the wonderful attributes millionaires, billionaires and successful people have which got them to where they are today. Rob discusses how curiosity, disruptive energy and self-belief are just some of the many traits a great entrepreneur has.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Curiosity is a trait of many entrepreneurs, especially billionaires. When you have conversations with millionaires or billionaires you may find that they are often asking you more questions than you are asking them. There is a perception that billionaires may be power-hungry or greedy but this is not always the case, they are often humble with a desire to learn.   They disrupt. They go against social and cultural norms and are prepared to do things that most people would disagree with or would resist.   Entrepreneurs have a burning desire, they have a passion and enthusiasm that never goes, despite the challenges that come their way.   Great entrepreneurs know how to surround themselves with smart people. An entrepreneur tends to be a generalist and they will surround themselves with specialists. They don’t let their ego get in the way, they hire people that are good at what they do, they love to be around the very best as this inspires them.   Many entrepreneurs can push through when times are hard. The harder it gets, the more committed they are to push through and stay in the game.   Entrepreneurs have to have self-confidence and self-belief. When they start as an entrepreneur they are often not proven yet and there are no guarantees that they will succeed.   BEST MOMENTS “They are often never satisfied and they keep pushing and moving forward.” “They are seduced by the deal.” “They handle fear.” “Nothing is guaranteed as an entrepreneur.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

RANT: TWO Words That Ruin Your Life (& Three That Change it) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: TWO Words That Ruin Your Life (& Three That Change it) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

There are two words that will ruin your life and Rob is here to tell you what they are. Don’t miss today's podcast to find out how you can stop blocking all opportunity and growth from your life and how to open up your mindset to an infinite amount of success. Rob discusses how many entrepreneurs continuously block out solutions, how there is a misconception that the more successful you are the less problems you may have and to always remember that every winner was once a beginner. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are two words that will ruin your life. These two words will block all opportunity, solution and growth. However the majority of people's default setting is to say these two words. They continuously say these words, no matter how many solutions you offer. These two words are ‘Yeah but..’ they are usually preceded by a suggestion or a solution to their problems. What ‘yeah but’ is, is a lack of desire to solve the problem. Changing ‘yeah but…’ to ‘tell me more’ opens your mind to opportunity. Often people will say ‘yeah but it is alright for you..’ suggesting that it is easy for those who are already ‘successful’ to suggest a solution when they’re not the ones dealing with it. Don’t be naive, the more successful you are the bigger your problems become, it doesn't get easier it gets better. You can be a little bit skeptical about the solutions, but trust that they are there and verify the validity of them. Notice if you begin to say ‘yeah but it's alright for you’, as it is really important to remember that every winner was once a beginner.   BEST MOMENTS “They say them over and over and over again.” “It's a relevant time because at the end of the month, my new book opportunity comes out.” “Don’t be a yeah but kind of person, be a ‘tell me more’ kind of person.” “New level, new devil.”   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

John Assaraf: Mindset & Behaviour Expert, Star of The Secret [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Everybody knows the benefit that exercise has on the human body, but what about innersise and the life-changing effects that strengthening your mind can have on your life? Today Rob is joined by best selling author, entrepreneur and CEO of NeuroGym John Assaraf, who discusses the importance of working on your cognitive behaviour in order to lead the successful life you desire. John talks through the act of ‘cognitive priming’, the science behind success and how being disruptive is not accepting ‘what is’ but about asking ‘what can be?’   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Where exercise is done to strengthen your muscles, ‘innersise’ is done to strengthen your mind. Start by writing your vision and goals and write out the beliefs you need to achieve them. Each day after you, should sit in front of the written document and do ‘cognitive priming’.   Cognitive priming the act of visualising yourself achieving your vision and goals. . Visualisation is simulation therefore when you actively prime your brain through focused attention and spaced repetition as well as adding emotion, you are activating certain networks in your brain. When we create a neuro pattern and we reinforce it, it becomes a dominant paten, we now become habituated into seeing our goals. It now goes from a conscious effort to unconscious behaviours.   When we activate the deeper limbic system of ours aka our emotions with the logical part, we are adding fuel to the neurons that are firing and the chemical release. When that happens we are getting rewarded a lot deeper. That is what causes us to build a neuro network which then actively does its thing constructively that causes us to take positive action.   Do the right thing, in the right order at the right time. There are a process and science to success, whilst you may seem busy doing things, they may be the wrong things. If you learn the process and apply it you can be successful in life because you are following the blueprint for success you can then add some innovation.   The meaning of life is to be curious. You should be able to express yourself in a way that makes you so proud. Be proud that you are using the miracle of curiosity in a way that is worthy of life itself. Anything less than that, you are settling, and selling yourself short.   Disruptive people change the norm. Don’t accept the norm. Every advancement in humanities evolution has been done by somebody disrupting the norm and somebody who has innovated a better, faster more efficient way to do something. To be disruptive is not just sitting back and accepting ‘what is.’’ it challenging your brilliance to ask ‘what can be?’.   BEST MOMENTS “I tend to set myself big goals and dreams, many of which I don’t know how I am going to achieve.” “Which one has more power?” “I am so excited about our body of work.” “You should be saying ‘wow’ every second of every day that you have life.”   ABOUT THE GUEST John has built 5 multimillion-dollar companies, written 2 New York Times Bestselling books and featured in 8 movies, including the blockbuster hit “The Secret” and “Quest For Success” with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama. Today, he is the founder and CEO of NeuroGym, a company dedicated to using the most advanced technologies and evidence-based brain training methods to help individuals unleash their fullest potential and maximize their results.

RANT: 3 Steps to More Sales (Blunt) [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In today’s episode, Rob shares with you a simple, three step process to urgently increase your sales fast. So whether you’re coming out of lockdown, pivoting or just need and want more revenue then listen in! But you MUST implement what Rob is sharing or it won’t work. Rob discusses the importance of collating your own list of leads, asking for their feedback and how to ask for referrals.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Before you even start the process, collate a list of leads and clients; people who may have turned down your products or services previously and collate them all together.   Call every single client or lead on your list and ask for feedback. Draw the feedback out, establish problems they might be having with their business right now and offer to go back to them with ways in which you can implement that feedback.   The next step after you’ve implemented the feedback you’ve gained, is to go back in a week or so and pitch your product/service which should now be bespoke to them and/or packaged differently based on the feedback they gave you.   When you’ve gained their business, go back to them in a few days time to thank your new client for their business and ask for recommendations and referrals to people who may also benefit from your product or service.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Wrap and package what you’ve got around their specific needs and requirements’   ‘To know and not to do is not to know’   ‘Talk doesn’t cook rice’   [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
