Always Be Educating And You'll Never Have To Ask For A Sale

Narrator: Welcome to the AI Advantage for Local Business. The show where local entrepreneurs and businesses learn to work less, earn more and use AI to dominate their market. If you want higher profits, fewer headaches and get more of your time back, you're in the right place. Here's your host, AI expert Andrew Anderson.

Andrew Anderson: How to bump up your sales quite a bit and get clients that you actually like and uh, don't think like oh my God, I can't take it another minute. And this is for all of you small businesses, medium sized businesses. Now one of the stories out there that I see everywhere should always be selling is like, uh, no, it's 110 wrong. What we do is always be educating. Okay? So in our stuff I don't do hardcore sales because if your person wants to buy this stuff, great. If not, see you have a great life. Um, good luck with you. I feel sorry that you didn't take our services here and go with some other schmuck. But you need to put yourself in that position. And the kicker is if you actually know your, and most of the gurus out there don't. When it comes right down to brass tacks, um, is that you need to educate your customers on how they can do stuff. So when most of our sales comes from me jumping on a call and I don't know why we attract them but we fix up screwed up websites, we fix screwed up SEO, screwed up aeo, screwed uh, up ERP systems and Mike, you'll know what I'm talking about. And I mean from small to big ass projects that you know are multinationals. And the biggest thing is um, is the, if you educate your clients on what's going on, why it's going on and how to fix it and so that they understand it well enough, um, to see what's happening, you don't want to be the, the freaking wizard of Oz, uh, guy behind the curtain because it never ends well. And so if you're doing that, especially with AI right now, you know everybody's, I think the, the shines coming off of it, thank God. Um, you know, I think I, I think we got in, in 21, I want to say 21, 22 and it's finally getting there. Um, they're throttling down all the LLMs. But there's a, there's a, every, every street Corner has ah, 76 AI prostitutes on it on the whole Internet. And uh, just be careful out there folks, you know, do your research, ask them if they know what they're doing. And it doesn't Matter the age. Okay. Because, um, you know,

Narrator: I don't want

Andrew Anderson: to go up on a story, but maybe I will because this is kind of stupid. Maybe you can relate. So in my other businesses, I remember we had, we were doing cabinetry, right? So this guy supposedly had 22 years in the business. And, and, uh, I, I had. We had people from like 9, 8, 19 years old to over 64, 67 or 68 years old that we had working for us. And this one guy who's like 40s, you know, walked in and, um, I go, all right, his name was Paul. Paul. Uh, give me that measurement. So the guy, the dude, he goes, uh, it's, uh, it was a 56. And one little, two little, three of those little lines. And I just like, I busted a guy, he's like, you're fired. So it doesn't matter how old you are. And most things, if you're smart, you can get competent fairly quickly. So having an AI, there's nobody with a shitload of experience. They've got a couple years, and maybe they've done a bunch of reps and stuff, but, um, you know, you just have to use your best judgment. And are they teach you anything about what they're doing? If they tried to hide it all behind a cloak, and there's a lot of people out there I see, just getting taken advantage of. But don't fall for it, folks. You know, get a second and third or fourth opinion if you, if you don't trust them. Always trust your gut with these people. But I know, I heard a story today. Somebody just got, um, they got nailed for $100,000 for the website and they freaking it. Uh, and I'm not going to share the name, but they figured it out. It brought them in 24 cents for every dollar they spent. It's sad. So be careful, folks. All right, There's a bunch of. And this is nothing new. This has been going on since Roman times, you know, for everything I was around before the big Internet bubble and, uh, you know, everything was going crazy. There's an AI bubble going on right now. So people are going to be surprised on, uh, what's happening. But the, the bottom line is, though, AI, when used correctly, it is a superpower. It can freaking blow up your business. You can literally, and I've seen this before, you can 10x your business in, um, a matter of months or less than a year if you apply it right. But if you don't have HI involved, um, you're screwed. You really are. So, um, any Hoodle always be educating. You don't have to frigate, sell. If you got your shit together and you know what the heck you're doing, you don't have to sell. There's no like hard, there's no hard used car salesman, you know, be relatable, have your together know what the heck you're talking about. Don't be a freaking idiot. And uh, you know, what's that old I. I don't watch tv. It's been years and years. But what's the. I uh, know it was about the kid growing up and he said don't be a dumbass. You know, that's it. And uh, you know, this won't fly, this kind of talk. Um, it won't fly for our corporate clients. I have to have suit on everything else but I'm talking between you, I mean a while as a business owner, um, you know, just take advantage of the AI. Educate um, your client about how you do it and what you do. They don't give a about uh, they don't give a about all the features. They just want to know how's it going to solve my pain which is typically um, what's going on there. That's another idea for a good video. So um, anywho, talk to you later. Andrew Anderson. Got any questions, suggestions? Hit me up. I'd love to. I read all my own uh, comments on all my freaking channels. I way too many these days. Um, a bunch of them people have no idea uh, about. And I'm not gonna cross pollinate them ever. So anyway, we'll talk to you later. See ya.
