Stone Payton: [00:00:01] Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, there are at least two different types of people out there in our world, there are givers and there are takers.

And it’s a tricky thing because we are such a generous platform and we are here to help and support and celebrate the ecosystem, the business community. So, find the givers, avoid the takers, find the positive people, avoid the negative people, find the people to take action, avoid the people that don’t take action. And remember, you’re the average of the five people you hang around the most. So, choose wisely.

BRX Pro Tip: Help Others Help Yourself Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back. Stone Payton, Lee Kantor here with you for BRX Pro Tips. Lee, you and I had been exposed to a great deal of thought leadership. A lot of thought leaders have come directly to our studio. We’re both pretty well-read. I know one of the people who I studied early in my career was a guy by the name of Zig Ziglar. And he said something to the effect of you can have just about anything you want if you will help enough other people get what they want. This whole idea of helping others really does come full circle and you’re really also helping yourself. But let’s talk about that a little bit in the context of this thing of ours.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:40] Yeah, at Business RadioX, that philosophy is so easy to execute. When you have a client and you can help them get more clients, then they’re going to stay with you for a long time. And you have, at your disposal, a tool that can help you meet whoever you want and then, you can share this platform with other people to help them meet whoever they need to meet. So, by you referring potential clients to your clients, guess what, your client’s not going anywhere. Because what other vendors are helping them get clients? Not many. And what other media platform is out there everyday actively looking for potential clients for their clients? Very few of them. So, just do what you do, select the right guest, have the right shows, have the meetings and introduce people to each other just in your studio and you should be able to get all the clients you want.

BRX Pro Tip: How to Respond to the Discount Question Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor, Stone Payton here with you. Lee, it happens to me from time to time, I’m sure you’ve heard this question, what counsel, if any, do we have in terms of how to respond to the discount question? If someone asks for a discount, what’s the best way to handle that conversation?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:22] Well, one of the things we do when somebody asks for a discount is we give them a discount if they pay all upfront. So, by paying upfront, we will lower the price for the service, but they have to pay upfront. If they don’t want to pay upfront, then the monthly fee is the monthly fee. But if you are going to give a discount, it’s important that you have to take something of value away. You can’t just give a discount for the sake of giving a discount, because you lose kind of the pricing integrity. What do you think about that, Stone? What are some of the strategies you use when somebody asks for a discount?

Stone Payton: [00:00:55] Well, I try to keep it all, like you say, within frame or within scope. So, if I’m going to change the scope of the financial investment, then I’m going to revisit the ROI that we are trying to deliver. I think, within reason, we can probably design something for most budgets. And if not, you know, we’re too early or too late to be of any real service and we’ll try to help again when the timing is better.

Stone Payton: [00:01:18] But if they’re purely just asking for a lower price, which is what often happens when they use the word discount or they’re asking that question, their trend, often, their first swing at that is getting the same level of service or in our case, since we actually provide real green dollar ROI in so many cases, they’re asking for that same level of result for a lower financial investment. So, I mean, the short answer is no. The other answer is, well, let’s scale the investment to fit the outcome.
