BRX Ambassador FAQ’s

October 19, 2020 by angishields

We’re Actively Looking For Business Coaches Who Want More Local Business Clients.

Schedule a Call With Our Managing Partner, Stone Payton, to learn more.

AMBASSADOR OPPORTUNITY

Who makes a good Ambassador?

A business professional who believes that building and nurturing relationships are important. Usually someone in professional services like a business coach or a business consultant.

Why be an Ambassador?

It’s perfect for a business coach or consultant who wants a non-salesy way to meet more of the people who matter most to them.

How much does it cost to be an Ambassador?

There is no fee to be an Ambassador. The Ambassador can also make a 20% commission on the first-year revenue from any sale that they contribute to.

What does an Ambassador do?

Ambassadors get to invite the people who are important to them on a Business RadioX show. It’s a great opportunity to have what we call a “Relationship Building Moment.”

What do you mean by a “Relationship Building Moment?”

We call a “Relationship Building Moment” an opportunity to elegantly serve a person who matters to you in a non-salesy manner. In our model, we have 4 Relationship Building Moments. They are 1-Inviting the Guest; 2-Having a Pre-Show call to explain what will happen on the show and how they can get the most out of it; 3-Interviewing the guest and letting them share their story; 4-The Post-Show call sharing how the guest can leverage their interview.

How can an Ambassador leverage Business RadioX for their own business?

An Ambassador should primarily use their interviews to create prospects for their own business or nurture relationships with their current clients and referral sources for their own business first. Once the Ambassador sees how this is working for themselves, they can also invite guests who meet the profile of a good sponsor.

BUSINESS RADIOX® SHOW EXPERIENCE

Can an Ambassador be on a show?

Ambassadors can and should be on the show. We prefer them to be one of the first guests we interview in their market. This lets them experience firsthand, and see for themselves, exactly what the guests they invite will experience.

What’s so great about being able to invite people on a show?

At Business RadioX we discovered that inviting a sales prospect or an existing client on a show is a great way to serve them. You are giving the people who matter most to you an opportunity to tell their story and share their passion and expertise. They will be very appreciative and grateful for you thinking of them to be worthy of being on a show. You now will have the opportunity to follow-up and nurture and build that relationship.

Where can Ambassadors find guests?

Ambassadors start by looking for guests within their own network. Invite some of their clients, some of the leaders of the business associations they belong to, some former clients, some prospective clients. Once a guest comes on the show the interviewer will ask the guest to refer additional interesting guests and that starts an avalanche of new leads/prospective guests to interview for the Ambassador.

What is the typical format of the interview?

Our shows feature an interview with a business leader. We are business people respectfully talking with other business people. This is not a “gotcha” 60 Minutes investigative style interview. We support and celebrate business and help them articulate their message and what makes them special in the marketplace. We don’t run commercials so the guest can tell their story in their own words, without interruption.

What can a guest expect during the interview?

The guest sends in questions and/or talking points they would like to cover. We weave those into an authentic, unscripted conversation about their work. Our certified interviewers are trained on how to facilitate these kinds of professional, business conversations. The guest will be treated with the respect they deserve. Our style of interviewing creates an environment where our guests get a chance to relax and share the information that is important to them and demonstrate their passion and expertise.

Is there a limit of guests that ambassadors can invite?

Right now there is no limit to the number of guests an Ambassador can invite, but that might change in the future.

How will an ambassador know if the contact accepted the invite and appear on a show?

The Ambassador can check with their Business RadioX contact and ask if any of the folks they invited have scheduled their interview. The Ambassador is also copied on the email that goes back to the guest containing the guest’s link to their respective interview.

Does the ambassador receive a link to the interview?

The Ambassador is also copied on the email to the guest with the link to their interview. And during that interview the Ambassador gets recognized as the “Sponsor” of that episode. They get a credit in the post that is published on the Business RadioX website and they also get a Host-Read “Shout-out” at the start of the episode. In addition, the respective Ambassador is recognized on the Show Page where all of the respective studio episodes are housed.

What other platforms can I listen on?

iTunes
Spotify
iHeartRadio
Google Podcasts
Amazon Music
and more!

BUSINESS RADIOX® REVENUE MODEL

What does Business RadioX do?

We are a business talk radio network that gives businesses of all sizes the opportunity to tell their story in their own words in long-form without interruption. We set-up studios in local communities and quickly become the “Voice of Business” in the markets we serve.

How does Business RadioX make money?

A handful of local businesses financially support any one of our studios by sponsoring and/or underwriting shows.

BUSINESS RADIOX® SHOW SPONSORSHIP

What does a show sponsor get?

We sell sponsorships and help them reverse-engineer a show to help them meet and serve their best clients and most coveted prospects.

How can a Sponsor leverage Business RadioX for their business?

Business RadioX Sponsors use the platform to help prospect for new clients in the same manner that an Ambassador leverages the platform for themselves. A good potential sponsor is usually a professional services firm that is trying to separate themselves from other local competitors. They are usually the “challenger” brand – not the largest player in their space. A good sponsor wants to build and nurture more relationships with the people most important to them. They have a relationship-based business, not a transactional “burn and churn” type business.

CAW E8: Dancing in the Street Tucson

00:00 /

GUESTS:

Joey Rodgers & Solesite Lupu
Founders, President of the Board of Directors
Dancing In The Streets Tucson
88 W. 38TH STREET
Tucson, AZ 85713
520.867.8489
info@ditsaz.org

Soleste Lupu has been dancing for any audience she could find since she was two years old. As co-founder and co-Artistic Director for Dancing in the Streets Arizona, Soleste works with co-Director Joseph Rodgers to inspire Tucson children to experience joy, creativity, and self-expression through the discipline of ballet. A Tucson native, she trained ballet locally at the Tucson Dance Academy under Maria Morton, with additional training from Ismet Mouhedin, George Zoritch, Jose Valenzuela, Stephanie Steigers and Neil Cowey. Versed in both the Royal Academy of Dancing ballet syllabus and the Vagonava syllabus, she has performed with the Southern Arizona Light Opera Company (SALOC) Plain, the University of Arizona Music and Dance Department, the University of Arizona Symphony and the LaMond Dance Ensemble. In addition to dance and music, she has worked in public policy and advocacy, run a no-kill shelter for cats, and started a family caregiver advocacy organization.

Joseph Rodgers, also a Tucson native, began his studies at the age of 7 when he was discovered at St. Ambrose school by Maria Morton, founder of the Tucson Academy of Dancing. His early training was in the Royal Academy of Dancing syllabus, and under George Zoritch, of the famed Ballet Russe continued to the San Francisco Ballet School and a 25-year career as a professional dancer. He has performed with many companies including the Arizona Dance Theater, Ballet Arizona, Feld Ballet New York, Ballet Chicago, and Milwaukee Ballet, culminating in a 2004 televised PBS performance of Der Fledermaus at the Kennedy Center with the Washington National Opera, directed by Placido Domingo.

About the Business

Dancing in the Streets Arizona (DITSAZ) is both a well-appointed ballet studio and a laboratory for success. Founded in 2008 with a small sum of wedding gift money by husband and wife team Soleste Lupu and Joseph Rodgers, the studio is located in South Tucson – a one-square-mile community that maintains a strong cultural heritage but struggles with high crime rates and poverty. The mission of DITSAZ is to use the power of dance to transform lives using the excitement and discipline of ballet to guide children in developing positive life skills, and to break down cultural barriers and enrich the community’s artistic experience.

Students take classes and perform in professional settings regardless of their income level, physical shape/size, or skill level. DITSAZ has served children with incarcerated parents, victims of abuse, those with serious physical and developmental disabilities, as well as non-traditional ballet students, such as overweight children or those with other physical limitations. Thirty-seven of our students were referred by the Juvenile Court to complete community service, many of whom continued on as students after their terms of service were completed.

Regardless of background or how they became involved, these students have discovered they can do more than they ever thought—not just across the dance floor, but in the classroom, in their family, and in their community. DITSAZ has demonstrated that dance education provides at-risk youth, and all students, a vehicle to experience positive teamwork and discipline, develop friendships that challenge cultural barriers, and most, importantly, experience accomplishments that serve to broaden their sense of life possibilities. No one is ever turned away from DITS if they want to learn.
