BRX Pro Tip: Why a CPA Should be a Studio Partner Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:02] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you, Lee, there are several kinds of professionals that we believe really fit the profile, people who would do well by being a studio partner, but specifically, why should a CPA seriously consider being a Business RadioX studio partner?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:24] I think a CPA would benefit from being the studio partner in a given market because this platform allows them to really nurture all the existing clients that they have, number one, through their house show. And number two, it positions them as really being a good servant leader in their market. They are the ones telling the story. It allows them to get in front of lots of different businesses in this kind of non-salesy, elegant manner. But most importantly, it creates an additional—the different revenue streams that are complementary to their existing business without requiring much of them, other than doing what they probably naturally do is talk to business people every day. So, it creates additional revenue streams that doesn’t compete with their existing business, and that allows them to really kind of get a lot of the people that refer business to them, give them shows to help them get more business. So, it creates kind of this ecosystem around their business, and it can create additional revenue streams. So, it’s kind of a no-brainer.

Stone Payton: [00:01:40] Well, and CPAs is one of those professions, and there are a handful in every market, that they really lean heavily on these trusted advisor relationships that—and they need people who are willing to refer business to them and tee them up with clients who trust them. So, I can see CPAs really leveraging the platform to build and cultivate those relationships with estate planning attorneys, for one, and just a variety of other trusted advisors of all of the folks that could benefit extremely well. I mean, CPAs just comes at the top of the list for me.

BRX Pro Tip: Why a Start Up Should Have a Show Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:01] And we are back. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you for BRX Pro Tips. Lee, lots of reasons for any number of professional services folks out there in the marketplace to seriously consider underwriting and possibly hosting a Business RadioX show, but why should a startup have a Business RadioX show?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:22] One of the things that startups should be doing is customer discovery. And there’s no better way to—once you’ve identified the niche that you’re going into is to invite all of those prospects into this show that you’re doing to spotlight the work in that area. So, it’s a great tool to meet the people you got to meet. Plus, you’re creating thought leadership around the subject matter that’s important to all of your best clients, and you’re putting yourself as a hub in that world.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:54] So, I think from a standpoint of solving the sales problem to get in front of the people that are the potential buyers of your service, that’s valuable. And number two is creating all of the web content, and social proof, and the thought leadership that you need to establish yourself as an expert in the space, you’re solving the marketing problem. So, to me, you’re solving a bunch of problems. And the startup who has limited funds, limited resource, and limited time, it’s a very efficient way of solving those problems.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:24] Well, it’s such a marvelous mechanism for building genuine relationships with people who get an opportunity to really understand your business, and how you’re serving the marketplace, and get it done fast. So, any startup in any market, I believe, and I know you do too as well, should be leveraging this platform, if for no other reason, just to build those relationships because one single relationship, properly timed, properly informed can be an absolute game changer for a startup.
