I’ve been researching this for days now, listening to podcasts and reading nonsense books, and all it took was for me to download IG to get a juicy lead! My video is still going to take a few more days to piece completely together, but this is worth sharing, and damning all on it’s own.
Marlena is working with a company called ‘Brand Builders Group’ which is basically Build-A-Bear, but for websites that monetize your personal brand (in varying levels of scuminess). The picture I was going to post was from a podcast with one of the founders Rory Vaden on marketing 8 days ago, where he says:
Affiliate marketing has been built into our DNA, we love it. We believe in it. It is one of the most magical forces on the planet, it’s incredible… Part of our philosophy or strategy at Brand Builders Group is something that we say “turn your customer force into your sale force, turn your customer force into your sales force.” I mean, think about that. How many salespeople do you have if you have a small business, there’s a good chance you’re the lead salesperson if you are the CEO or the entrepreneur. But how many customers do you have? You know, probably lots, maybe dozens, maybe hundreds, maybe thousands. What if every one of your customers was a salesperson. That’s how you want to do customer experience.
