HOW TO GAIN ATTENTION AND INCREASE SALES

Tips on how to gain attention and increase sales with Tyler Basu

We help people create content to gain attention and then we make sure that we bridge the gap to actually getting some leads and some appointments.
I'll start at the bottom of the funnel process. I like to focus on things that are the closest to the money.
It's not about the time, it's about the resources that are poured into it. You can really speed up building your audience if you're a bit more generous with the money you spend on doing that.
If you're not spending money on ads, there is a cost to creating content too and that cost is your time. And every entrepreneur should know what the value of their time is.
Just focus on the fundamentals. Do the things that make you the most money and then later when you have a bigger team, more resources, then you can add all more layers of complexity.
I learned about pre-selling. Building up a list or doing some outreach and talking to people and seeing if you can sell them your thing before you actually create it.

Tyler: Doug, it's a pleasure to be here man. I'm really grateful to be on your show.

Doug: Yeah, it was great. I mean we connected a couple of years ago at the New Media Summit because you are an Icon of Influence and we kind of stayed in touch so we both drove or flew down from the same neighborhood to down in San Diego and enjoy some sunshine and some great conversations.

Tyler: I remember that. I remember being at the restaurant table with you and we were laughing about all my rejection I faced doing door to door sales. They were good times. Yeah.

Doug: Well I mean you come from a sales background and it's interesting because now you're helping businesses with their marketing,
