BRX Pro Tip: Recognition Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:01] Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you for BRX Pro Tips. Lee, let’s talk about recognition. What are some ideas for providing the right kind of recognition to the right type of people for the desired outcomes?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:16] Yeah, I think it’s important when you’re talking about client retention to focus on recognition and don’t ignore that. It’s easy to forget what happens in the studio, but your client, your sponsors of your shows like to be recognized. And an easy way to do it is to recognize them by making a certificate or frame a certificate from office depot or create some sort of award that says, “Oh, you’ve hosted ten shows, congratulations, here’s some recognition” or “You’ve had one hundred guests on your shows” or “You’ve told fifty stories.” Create an event based on what they’ve done and then, reward them for that. And I think that that makes them happy, that they’re proud of it. That’s something that they will share on social media. It gives them kind of the credibility that they need in order to be successful to differentiate themselves in their market. And it’ll help keep them as a customer for life.

BRX Pro Tips: Simplify Your Business Focus on What Matters Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton with you. Lee, let’s talk about something you consistently try to remind me of, simplify your business, focus on what matters.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:14] Yeah, I think that because it seems like there’s so many moving parts in our business between all of the minutia it takes to produce a show, to record a show, to publish a show that we lose track of really what are the activities that matter most. And it’s funny because it’s the same activities that matter for a studio partner as it is for the clients of the studio partner. To me, the most important things are focus on your guests, selecting the right guests to make sure the right guests are appearing in the show, have a great show, have a great experience.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:46] And then, make sure you follow up and have a meeting with the appropriate people after the show is over. If you just focus on those three things as a studio partner, the guest, the shows, and the meetings, you will have a successful studio. And in turn, if you have your clients focused on the exact same things, the guest, the shows, and the meetings afterwards, they will be successful. They will have a good ROI. And they will be a customer for life.

Stone Payton: [00:01:12] Well, it reminds me of something that we’ve said for some time now, the way we do anything is the way we do everything. And I do think that allows things to be very simple. And it’s just a matter of consistently pushing that pump handle to continue to draw from the well.

BRX Pro Tip: The Company We Keep Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk about the company we keep.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:10] Yeah, it’s very important that all the studio partners we have out there in the marketplace are hanging around the right kind of people and they are. And that helps the studio partner. That helps all of their clients. When we are covering an event and we’re at a big event here in town or we’re partnering with the university or we’re inside of their incubator or their co-working space, they get the benefit of being associated with our brand and we get the benefit of being associated with their brand.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:37] When we get a university telling us how important we are to serving their mission, that’s good for us here locally, but guess what, it’s good for every single studio inside of the network. So, all of those kind of testimonials, all of those case studies from our constituents, everyone is benefiting from that. All of the guests that we have from the largest companies on the planet that come into all the studios to be interviewed, that’s helping every single one of us. It totally positions us differently than Joe’s podcast or some guy in the basement that’s doing whatever he’s doing over the phone.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:11] The people that are coming in to the studios, the pictures we have with these movers and shakers in the market is important because it helps elevate the brand, it helps elevate our studio partners, and guess what, it helps elevate our sponsors as well, because they get to benefit from that halo effect. They get to be part of the Business RadioX family, and they’re benefiting from that as well. So, it’s important to remember we are an important cog in the machine in the markets that we serve and our clients appreciate that and our studio partners get paid higher rates because of that.
