Check out these episode highlights: 01:44 - Jose‘s ideal client: “Ideal client's a B2B business, usually in an industrial category between let's say, two and $20 million in revenue. Could be a little bit above, a little bit below that, but it's a business with infrastructure, personnel, and so on.” 02:16 - Problem Jose helps solve: “It's when revenue growth gets stuck. They hit a plateau. They grew from five to 10 to 12. And then they hit 12 for two years, three years in a row. And they can't just move off that because they're busy supplying the requests at that level, and their eyes off the ball on marketing.” 03:29 - Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Jose: “I think one of the key things is margin erosion. You're supplying somebody loyally for years, and yet every year, they're asking for three points, five points, whatever they can get from you. And you never quite feel like you're special to- they're specialty you, but you're not that special to them.” 04:53 - Common mistakes that people make before they find Jose’s solution: “the most common is they try to attack- they realize the problem and they attack it in the most obvious way possible. Like, "Oh, we need to do a new website" or "We need to hire a web firm", or "We need a new salesperson" or "We need sales training". So they look for a point solution for something that is systemic.” 06:12 - Jose’s Valuable Free Action (VFA): “10 things that you think are reasons that customers buy from you. Write them out that things. Do it, ideally, with your team, if you can, together. Just think 10- brainstorm 10 things.” 07:14 - Jose’s Valuable Free Resource (VFR): Check out Jose’s FREE Guides: valueprop.com/guides 07:59 - Q: What's the key to sustainable growth?
