Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, we're talking with Rene Floyd from Perris, California, and Rene has a wonderful business helping people make their beautiful, curly, wavy hair look even better.

Rene's a retired hairstylist who's developed her own products and methods to help people, and I love her single target market focus. She's got great products, and she has a great business, so we talked about overlaying the idea of a before, during, and after unit on to what she's doing, and found that a lot of her business is actually in the after unit.

That's really where a business like this is.

When you have a business where you solve an ongoing problem or provide an ongoing solution for someone, and you create an experience they love, they have an opportunity to come back again and again and again.

That's your great opportunity to build an amazing business.

We ended by talking about the before unit, acquiring brand new business and thinking about how much you would cheerfully pay to develop a new customer, and we had a great little breakdown of how to think about business in that way.

This is a great episode, especially if your business had the opportunity to build relationships with clients in this way.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, we're talking with Stu Swineford from Boulder, Colorado, where they have an agency that helps nonprofit and purpose-driven businesses with their marketing.

We had a great conversation about selecting and narrowing to a single target market. I love that they're crystal clear on who it is they want to work with, and we talked about how they can get more involved in that community in a way that would start providing engaging content for them.

There are so many opportunities, including a nice content marketing strategy involving podcasting, and if you're looking for ideas to connect with your potential customers, this is a great episode.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers Podcast, we're talking with another Canadian, Ginny Campbell.

Ginny's a life coach who left a career in television production to pivot to do something that really suits her, and meets what she wanted for her late-career, and she's now able and equipped to help other women going through the same thing.

She's built up a nice list of 2300 people who are paying attention to her emails, so in our call today, we talked about how to engage with those people and really get the conversation going.

This is universally applicable, So if you're in that kind of a situation, you're going to get a lot out of this episode.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers Podcast, we have a very special episode because I got to talk with my cousin, my second cousin, Lennette Palermo, from Canada.

Lennette's a Six Sigma, business process specialist. She's starting a new consulting business to help entrepreneurs and business owners map and process their businesses.

I love this kind of thinking because everything fits with what we do with the 8 Profit Activators. So much of creating a great business is creating a great experience, and so much of creating a great experience is in having a process map.

We had a great conversation about her experience, how she helps business owners, and what you can do to think about mapping the processes in your business, and we're actually working together right now on a business mapping process for my business, so I can't wait to share how that turns out.

This is a great episode to really help you capture what's great about your business.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers Podcast, we're talking with Geoffrey Fullerton, all the way from Jamaica.

Part of his business is as an affiliate for a particular service, and we had a really interesting conversation about his approach to finding people, then building and keeping a dedicated group of users who would benefit from the shrive he's promoting.

It's really an 'After Unit' model of building relationships, as opposed to just being a 'Before Unit' of finding people who want to sign up.

It's a great jumping-off point because we went on to talk about how to differentiate yourself and the importance of selecting a single target market that responds to this differentiation.

If you're an affiliate of any product or service, this is a good model to think about how you can add value to the basic tools that people are using.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, we're talking with return guest, Jeff Moore from California. He has been a longtime friend. He's been around since the very earliest days of the I Love Marketing podcast and was one of the early guests here on More Cheese Less Whiskers.

Jeff had a lifetime of experience in the seafood business. If you ordered any kind of fish in a restaurant, it probably came through him. He built great relationships over the years, and now, after that company sold, he started and quickly grew a new business based largely on those relationships.

This was a great conversation looking at all the ways he's developing this new business. We talked a lot about the value of his 'After Unit' business and ways he can maximize that.

We went on to talk about his 'Before Unit.' He has a limited number of visible prospects he can work with, and this is the case for many B to B businesses, where you can identify the manageable number of potential clients you need to approach to be successful. So we talked about ways to establish a relationship with those people and look to make inroads and build that relationship over a longer period of time.

If your business is in a similar situation, there are a lot of ideas here to dominate that visible audience.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, we have a very special podcast with John Paul DeJoria.

You may recognize John Paul's name as the founder of the Paul Mitchell haircare brand and as a billionaire philanthropist. He's a super nice guy, and Joe Polish and I had a chance to speak with him on our I love marketing podcast.

We've got to know him a little over the years. He came to speak at a genius network event, and this podcast was a wonderful conversation talking more about some of the things that are important to him in life and business.

He's a very smart guy, very thoughtful, and it was great to hear about his daily routines and a lot of really cool stuff. There is great information here that I think you will find valuable.

Today on the Listing Agent Lifestyle podcast, we’re talking with Martin Zvolensky, all the way from Switzerland, and Martin has an incredible story.

He moved to Switzerland and, through a series of events, ended up starting an eco-cleaning service, and we talked about the differentiation needed when you’re doing something that provides intangible benefits.

We had a great conversation about the kind of things you need to be thinking about if you’re an alternative solution for people, and there are a lot of great ideas you can apply to your business too.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, we're talking with Kenny MacCarthy, all the way from the North Shore & Cape Ann area of Boston, Massachusetts.

I've known Kenny for many years, he's a great friend, and we had a really good conversation about essentially becoming a media company.

Kenny's a very successful, long-time realtor. He got a great business that's working well. He has an established team. They've been doing Getting Listings programs for oceanfront listings right on Cape Ann, so he has everything working there, but he's looking for more. He always wants to grow.

One of the things Kenny loves to do is make videos. He loves shooting video, playing with the technology, and trying all kinds of video ideas, so we had a great conversation about the possibilities to scratch that itch, and really create some bigger opportunities that he could be excited about working on.

This is a great way to engage people no matter what type of business you're in, so there are lots of ideas in this show.

Today on the More Cheese Less Whiskers podcast, we're talking with Brandy Hart from Dallas, Texas, where she has a medspa that specializes in helping people with Botox, fillers, facials, and all things beauty.

We had a really great conversation. They're a relatively new company, they're growing quickly and are really doing a great job of getting and building an enthusiastic clientele, so we talked about some referral and 'before unit' strategies to bring in new people in an affordable way. A way that treats the leads as a capital investment.

You've probably heard me talk about this way of thinking a lot, and this is the perfect example of how it applies, so you're going to really enjoy this episode.
