BRX Pro Tip: Client Nurture Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, we talk a lot about accelerating new relationships. What about nurturing existing clients? This is a great platform for that as well. Yeah?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:16] I can make a case that, for a lot of companies, just doing this part is a great way to grow their business because it’ll keep their clients longer, and it will open up the door for a lot of referrals. Just by having your existing clients come on to tell their stories shows you care, and that the sponsor really wants to serve them more than just doing whatever it is that they do for them in their business. How many other vendors offer a client an opportunity to tell their story and to get the word out about the good work they do? It’s just very difficult.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:48] And this platform allows those kind of conversations to take place. When you interview your client, and you get them to really kind of dig deep and tell their story, that client may be revealing things to you that can help you serve them more. They may be revealing things to you that can help them know more about you. So, it’s a great way to kind of deepen the relationship in a very elegant non-salesy. And I think a lot of sponsors neglect this. And it’s an easy way to get going, and it’s an easy way to keep that client another six months, another year because they reached out and offered them this opportunity to tell their story.

Stone Payton: [00:01:27] And I’ll tell you from a very tactical perspective, in terms of marketing, what we do to prospective underwriters, clients, sponsors, a lot of these firms consider themselves to be very elegant, and they very much do not want to be very salesy at all. And they’re pretty darn skeptical about building new relationships because they haven’t had that much success in the past, but they resonate with, identify, and can actually visualize using this to nurture clients. So, with that type of prospect, this is where you want to put a little bit more weight in articulating your value proposition, I think.

BRX Pro Tip: Brand Ubiquity Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, let’s talk a little bit about how we go about delivering brand ubiquity for our clients.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:13] Now, part of the value that we provide our clients is that they get to be affiliated with our brand, and we get to share their brand in as many ways as we can kind of creatively come up with. And that’s important for the sponsor in order to see their name associated with us, and our work is very important. So, there’s ways to do it. A lot of our studio partners are doing this in a variety of ways.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:37] Some ways that we can do it – put their brand on the mic flags; we can put their brand around the studio; we can give out co-branded mugs; we can put their business card in mugs; any of our social media posts, we can add their brand to it. Your imagination is kind of the guide here. Just be creative. Anything that is around your studio, you can put your sponsors name on it and don’t be afraid to it. You can do live reads throughout different episodes. You can make certain segments sponsored by the sponsor. There’s all kinds of ways to add a sponsor into the mix of the content we create because we create so much content, and there’s so many opportunities for their brand to come along for the ride. It’s just a matter of thinking about it, charging for it, and then executing on it.

Stone Payton: [00:01:30] No, I think we’re absolute just nirvana heaven for B2B product/service placement. I mean, don’t you?

Lee Kantor: [00:01:39] Absolutely. I mean we have TVs in the room, put them on that. Put them in between segments. I mean, you can put them in a whole different whole lot of places.

BRX Pro Tip: Why is the Mission Important? Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:01] And we are back. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you would BRX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Lee, we often articulate our message, and we will say something to the effect of, “A pro business media outlet,” and we want to have something like that in virtually every community across the country and maybe eventually across the planet. But why is it important for those communities?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:27] I think that every community benefits by having a cheerleader that’s supporting and celebrating their work in the community, especially a media outlet that is focused on that. The benefits to the community are multifaceted. One element of benefit is that the small to mid-sized business owner feels appreciated because a lot of times, they don’t get the attention they deserve. A  lot of times, people don’t know what they do. Even their own family members don’t really understand their business a lot of times. So, when you have somebody there that’s kind of vouching for them and telling their story, that’s an important just goodwill in terms of keeping them motivated to continue doing the hard work and grinding every day.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:09] Another element is for the community itself to kind of showcase some of the good work that’s being done to attract other business people to the community, and other people to come into the community to check out these important businesses because they are doing work that is important. And a lot of times, the only time they get any type of attention is if something bad happens. Like we always say, if a fire or a scandal occurs, then the press will come running. It’s the day-to-day work that they’re doing that doesn’t get appreciated. And we love being the safe place for these business people to tell their stories.
