[1:01] Josh introduces today’s guest, Rick Cesari, author of Building Billion Dollar Brands.

[2:08] Josh welcomes Rick Cesari back to Franchise Euphoria.

[3:28] Rick gives us a recap of some of the businesses he’s worked with over the years.

[5:02] Rick’s new book is really about the lessons he learned from working with these companies over the years, and how he identified patterns of tactics that many of them used to grow their brand.

[6:32] The first tactic is what Rick calls “always upsell,” which may seem obvious, but is often overlooked when people are faced with customers.

[8:12] Josh chimes in that the easiest way to make a sale is to go to people who have already purchased.

[9:55] For the second tip, Rick suggests it’s important to learn from other people’s experiences, specifically through books published by people who have achieved the success you want to see.

[12:05] Tactic three covers the “Blue Ocean” strategy, which is one that Josh used himself when developing his law practice.

[14:56] “If you try to please everybody, you end up pleasing no one.”

[15:38] Josh introduces tip four as “the number one rule in sales.”

[17:45] Tactic five covers the concept of educating your consumer, which is something Rick really focuses on when launching a new product or service.

[21:16] The sixth tactic is establishing credibility with your target audience, the underlying reason for which is being people will always be skeptical of advertising until you give them a reason to trust you.

[24:05] Tip seven, using key opinion leaders and influencers, goes hand in hand with the sixth tactic as it is a great way to help establish the credibility of your business.

[24:13] Josh notes that tip eight, knowing your customer, is one of the most important things a business owner can do.

[25:09] One of the first things Rick does with new clients is set up interviews with proven clientele that usually ends up being testimonial collateral for their business.

[26:14] A timeless strategy Rick has employed over the years, which is his tenth tip is having powerful before and after demonstrations. This stems from Rick’s background of using direct response television ads.

[28:20] For Rick’s final tip, he suggests the importance of “making the customer the hero.”

Started listening to Josh's podcast after the wife and I decided to buy a franchise and I quickly went through about 200 episodes on 1.5x & 2x, before signing on to purchase a franchise. Josh's info was an invaluable part of our decision to buy, and after listening to so many episodes, I felt like I knew and trusted him on a personal level, so it was a no-brainer to enlist his services when it came time to review the franchise agreement. Josh was super easy to talk to and very empathetic to our needs, and being first time business owners, we needed all the empathy we could get. Josh helped us negotiate a great deal with the franchisor and we were very happy with his services. Great podcast, great guy, great service to anyone involved in the franchise world!
