BRX Pro Tip: Never Stop Adding Value

BRX Pro Tip: Never Stop Adding Value

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, this is the song that Journey should have written instead of Don’t Stop Believing – Never Stop Adding Value.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:12] Yeah, this is one of the main jobs as a leader. You have to be constantly looking ahead. You have to be always trying to figure out ways to help your clients before they even know they need the help. If you’re not pushing that value line constantly, you are going to be surpassed by some other competitor. So, I think it’s important to constantly look for ways to surprise and delight your clients when it comes to adding value.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:41] You should be exploring best practices in other unrelated industries to see if there’s anything that’s happening there that can transfer over to your industry. You should be connecting dots for clients to help them stay ahead of their competition all the time. This is your main job. You have to be looking ahead as a leader. You have to be constantly trying to be best in class, constantly trying to improve the lives of your clients. And if you do that, you’ll have clients for life, and you’re not going to have to worry about anything about competition because you’re going to be so far ahead, they’re not going to be able to catch you. But when you get complacent, watch out because there’s going to be a competitor that’s looking to fill the void that you’ve decided, and you’ve ignored, and you don’t want to pursue. So, keep pushing the value line.

Jamie Anderson, President/CEO
The Golden Years Project

goldenyearsproject.org

Jamie was raised in Pasadena/Houston, TX from six years old until I was 14 years old. Your parents divorced when you were 8 and you returned to Massachusetts with your mother and your other siblings because she had custody of you, and she wanted to be closer to her mother in her golden years.

Jamie joined the U.S. National Guard out of Massachusetts when she was 17 years old and spent 3 yrs. active duty and 5yrs inactive for a total of 8 years and was discharged with an honorable discharge. Her military occupational specialty was 39E, which was Special Electronics Devices Repairman.

After the military, she went into the life insurance industry (in sales) as an independent exclusive contractor and worked for American Income Life Insurance Company for 9 years which taught me a great deal about people and business administration, marketing, accounting, advertising, all of those disciplines.

In 2007, her mother wanted to relocate to Arizona and she promised me that if she ever moved back to the southern states, Jamie would pick up and move to be with or near her. Jamie started Anderson Capital Leasing which was a commercial equipment leasing brokerage and did quite well until the 2008 economy crisis.

BRX Pro Tip: The Job to Be Done

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, let’s chat a little bit about this – the job to be done concept.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:12] Yeah, this is something I’ve been reading recently about the job to be done theory is about really understanding, becoming clear what it is the job that you’re doing that your clients are hiring you to do. And a lot of times, it isn’t obvious. And you might think your clients are hiring you for one thing but, really, they might be hiring you for something else. So, you got to really understand what it is your client wants, so you can help them get that outcome.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:41] So, in our case, clients aren’t really hiring us to produce radio shows. That’s an activity we do, but that’s not really what they want. Most of our clients are hiring us to elegantly meet and nurture more meaningful relationships with the people that matter most to them. That’s what they’re hiring us for. But it also helps our clients feel connected, important and have an impact in their industry when they hire us. So, that’s one of the things they might be hiring us for, but it’s not really the thing that they’re getting.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:14] So, you got to really probe for the underlying needs and play when you’re selling because most people services do a lot of things for a lot of people, and you might be focusing on one of the features of your product or service but not the true benefit that your client is trying to get from you. So, get clear on that, so you can deliver, and communicate, and articulate the messaging that says, “Okay, you got this problem, we solved this problem. It may look like we do this other thing but, really, we’re in the business to solve that specific problem.” So, if you can understand that clearly, then you can communicate better to your prospect that you are the right fit for them, that you can help them get the outcome they desire.
