BBOTM-03: “Ask Formula” by Ryan Levesque

It’s Chris, me and Colin for this, the second episode of Business Book of the Month. Unfortunately Mark couldn’t make it but he hopes to be back at 8.00pm GMT on the 21st December when we host the next live discussion!

Ask

In this month’s episode we discuss “Ask” by Ryan Levesque. Levesque has apparently used his Ask Formula to help build businesses in 23 different industries, generating over $100 million dollars in sales. It’s essentially a step-by-step formula to follow; to learn how to ask your subscribers about them and their background. So you as a business can deliver a much more tailored message.
