BRX Pro Tip: Wacky Deals Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Lee, in this episode, let’s talk about wacky deals.

Lee Kantor: [00:00:08] Sure. A wacky deal in our language is anything that isn’t — it might be a trade, or it might not be for cash, or at a discounted rate. This can happen in lots of different ways. We’ve had in here an opportunity to get gift cards from different restaurants, different restaurant groups, bringing food, things like that. That, I consider a wacky deal. We’ve had gyms offer us memberships for our family in exchange for mentions or hosting events at their space. I know some of our studio sponsors have worked on deals where they show up at these events that are highly sought after in exchange for doing some work there, either man on the street or in official remote. Any other thing pops into your mind, Stone?

Stone Payton: [00:00:51] Well, I was going to say one of my favorite is some of these local on-site venues is just good for us to be seen there anyway. So, we’re going to absorb it maybe as a marketing cost. But then, as soon as I nail it and lock that down, then, sometimes, I will go out and shop for, sort of, a one-time, I call project sponsors, just for that local event because they want the halo effect of being associated with that. For me, that’s in the wacky deal bucket.

Lee Kantor: [00:01:19] Right. And we’ve gotten a ton of free stuff. It’s like Snoop Dogg says, “You’ve got to get your free game.” You got to work your free game.

BRX Pro Tip: Social Media Amplification Transcript

Stone Payton: [00:00:00] Welcome back to Business RadioX Studio Partner Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you, Lee, a phrase that you and I throw around quite a bit is “social media amplification.” What do we mean by that? How can we deliver that?

Lee Kantor: [00:00:16] I think it’s important to offer, especially to your clients, kind of a roadmap of what could be done. This is kind of probably a case of the cobbler’s shoes, a cobbler having no shoes, but we’re not the best at this. But I like to recommend that before the show that the client kind of promotes, “Hey, next week, I have blah, blah, blah coming on,” and then do some social media around that. You can go out before the show and ask your social media followers, “Hey, I have this person on. Do you have any questions that I should ask them?” or you can tell them, “Hey, listen in at this URL at this certain time.”

Lee Kantor: [00:00:57] I think it’s important during the show to have a you or somebody on your team say, “Hey, we’re on live now. Listen to blah, blah, blah.” After the show, “In case you missed it, here was the episode you missed where they talked about this.” These are all opportunities you can be leveraging before, during, and after your show, that kind of just keeps the conversation going, and it provides more value for your sponsors to show that you are trying your best to get the word out about their work and the show’s work.

Stone Payton: [00:01:27] Speaking of the cobbler’s kids not having shoes, I’m reminded of a tendency that I sometimes have. Something worked so well, I just decide to quit doing it. But we’ve had some success. And I think we need to pick it back up of doing like the soundcheck, doing Facebook Live, or some kind of social media-

Lee Kantor: [00:01:43] Or LinkedIn Live?

Lee Kantor: [00:01:43] LinkedIn Live, yeah. For the soundcheck, keeping it kind of distinct from the radio show, but that generates a lot of buzz and is a high-perceived value for both the people in the room and the people underwriting the shows.

Stefanie Jewett is the founder and CEO of Activvely, the premiere social-pairing app that connects you with platonic fitness buddies. After five years of covering hard news at CNN her creativity breached the spillway and Activvely was born.

A Miami native, Stefanie grew up in a Spanish-speaking household, her Cuban roots never too far from her heart.

Working on several projects and shows including Crossfire and the Situation Room, she held her own among the most elite journalists at the World Headquarters and the Washington D.C. bureau.

Her commitment to building intentional and impactful communities led her to create, Startup Sisters USA, a space where women of wild ambition can come together and collaborate.

Most recently, Stefanie was selected for Atlanta Tech Village’s “It Takes a Village” pre-accelerator, and as one of the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce’s #ChooseATL Influencers for 2019. She is also a graduate of the City of Atlanta’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI ‘18), and LaunchPad2x.
