Today’s guest on the Shane Sams Show is Myron Golden, author of From The Trash Man to The Cash Man! Myron has consulting clients whose businesses are doing 7 and 8 figures in revenue using the business optimization strategies Myron taught them. His students are experiencing exponential business growth. Myron teaches everyday people to become wealthy, often using skills they already have.

This episode is all about sales! Myron and Shane Sams talk about how Myron got started in sales and how sales are the heart of the economy. People love to buy and to be sold to, but they hate to be convinced. If you’re trying to sell, you need to shift the potential buyers’ beliefs before they become objections. This podcast is truly packed with so much wisdom when it comes to selling!

Shane and Myron also talk about the opportunities that come from learning new skills. If someone asks you something more than twice, that’s a sign that you know something that other people don’t.

Today’s guest on the Shane Sams Show is Brian Moran, Co-Author of the New York Times Bestseller, The 12 Week Year!

Brian had a lot of success at a young age, working his way up the corporate ladder, but then he realized that his passion was really in coaching, so he started doing consulting. He came to the realization that companies didn’t need new ideas--they needed implementation. Brian and his business partner had an upcoming conference, so they decided to write the book, and it became a New York Times bestseller.

On this episode, Shane Sams and Brian talk about the practicality of the 12 week year, and the problems that people come across when setting annual goals. Success is about moving forward, and Brian’s method helps people and businesses continually take steps in the right direction. It’s about planning tactically, not conceptually, because you can’t execute concepts.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

Why people struggle to stick to a plan

How to set up your 12-week plan

The role of accountability in execution

Today’s guest on The Shane Sams Show is Robbie Baxter, author of The Membership Economy–a book which predicted the rise of subscription services like Netflix and was literally our membership bible for growing our first membership site into a million dollar membership!

Jocelyn and I went to a conference in the Philippines, hosted by Chris Ducker, called Tropical Think Tank. We went just to get around other entrepreneurs and see what they were doing. We were sitting at a table with James Schramko and I started telling him about what were selling, that it was going well, but that it was also very high-energy. He flat out told us it was a membership, all we needed to do was sell it once and have people pay you forever. He told us to read The Membership Economy by Robbie Kellman Baxter on our way home.

So, of course, I read the whole thing on our way back to the Philippines. And, read it all in one sitting. I knew when we closed the book that we had to do what this book said, as soon as possible.

And, then in June of 2015, as soon as we got home, we implemented the membership model into each and every one of our four businesses.

Within 30 days of opening our membership, we had over 1,000 members, paying an average of $49 to $99 a month, and it’s been that way ever since. Now, we’ve helped over 3,000 people do the same thing in the last 5 years.

All of that literally came from us reading The Membership Economy by Robbie Kellman Baxter.

In today’s episode we dive deep into when and where you should use free trials, pricing your membership, and we discuss her new book, The Forever Transaction. We are going to talk about all things memberships with the person who literally wrote the book on the membership model.

In today’s episode you’ll learn:

What the Membership Economy is all about

The difference in headline benefits and engagement benefits

Why the free trial can help or hurt you

Why friction is key to attracting quality members

The Forever Transaction

How to evolve your offerings

How to engage and retain your members

When he first got into coaching, Joseph dealt with impostor syndrome, but he persevered, refined his methods, and now his clients are seeing massive results.
