This episode couldn’t have come at a better time. After spending a week with David Warne from episodes 254 and 255 we have a totally new business model and the pitch information from Oren here will be great to get our message out.
Plenty of work ahead for you, young Sean. Very exciting times. Glad you’ll benefit from this fireside chat.
Timbo you can forget the marketing gold label, this was marketing PLATINUM. Right up there with Steve Sims and the sharpie episode in terms of transferable ideas. We can all make our perceived value higher . Dan Kennedy talks about this also and he is a marketing genius. I also love the porridge analogy, which communicates the “you need me more than I need you”. My business (eating psychology coaching) is so damn niche that I use this (most people don’t want me…are you in the elite who is?). I will be re listening and making notes to help me reach my goal 😉
Three times…in a row…in one day! That’s how many times I listened to this episode! Thank you, Timbo, for the role playing with Oren and all the questions you asked for us. Like, it feels counter intuitive that we can have a leg up on the person we are trying to sell our product or service to. An “ah ha” for me? That WE get to assess (and choose) whether we want to work with someone, not just that THEY choose US. And the idea of scarcity. So many great learnings. Thank you.
Definitely a ‘rinse and repeat’ episode. Great stuff!
You’re not the first to have said that, Matt! Be sure to take action after the second cycle 🙂
Listened to this podcast again today. That was after reading the book Oran wrote, Pitch Anything. In his book he explained a lot of the psychology behind his pitching methodology. Made the second listening even more valuable. Great interview Timbo.
Loving your enthusiasm, Harriet. Go get ’em!
Love it, Tracy. So many learnings, so little time!
Seems like this is a two to three time listen episode. I must figure out the formula for doing more of those! Rand Fishkin episode was another one.
