Thanks for a great show Jon and Blain, and nice infographic, I am a bit of each of those characters, and trying to focus more on the last one, and I really liked that chart Blain made of how you stack your actions and build value into the future, keep up your great work and stay awesome.

Yeah Blain's example was great. Think I'll make a lesson in CTP about that this upcoming week

SO applicable for us as a business!

We have found that the cure for Grumpy Gus is to under promise and over deliver. It either cheers them up, or disqualifies them as someone we want to do business with.

The Cautious Colin we are okay with. We find he best way to do business with them is to have what we call a "ridiculous offer." Something you don't make much or any money on initially, but makes it easy to become a client and stay cautious until proven wrong.

The first 2 can cause the third to happen if not handled properly ;) We aim to turn everyone onto our mindset of faith and investing in the future. That is doing business right.

Fantastic post again!

Thanks very much for the comments...And great points for sure. Yeah it's hard to have people grumpy and pissed off when they are smiling from ear to ear. Always the goal for sure :)

Great fun! Glad I could make it to the live last night. Will definitely share the infographic around. Want to create a pin for it on Pinterest on my Affiliate Marketing board. This was interesting because a friend of mine who is also a business coach created a lead magnet ebook called The Fortune is in the Feathers around bird personalities and how to target your sales message to each one. There are four of them. Eagle, Owl, Peacock and Dove. She is coaching me in sales and gently nudging me out of my comfort zone. :-) And it is being reinforced here at CTP as well. Looking forward to what is coming next.

Pinterest.....It's like the one social media platform I think I would fall in love with, cause it's so visual, but have never dipped in....Anywhere you suggest to get started to learn about it more?

Aloha Jon,
Great webinar last night. I was having some computer issues. I think that the types of affiliate marketer that I can most relate to at the present are: the slot machine marketer and I hope to become the future faith marketer.
Jon, you and Blaine did a great job at describing these different types of marketers. Thank you.

The one that I hope not to be like is the grumpy gus.

jongolson (74) 5 years ago

Awesome :)

Well speaking from experience, I was the king of the Grumpy Gus's LOL But I think we learn and mature over the years...I love the journey and wouldnt change it for a thing.

I'm sure Future Faith and even Cautious Colin are super excited these days to see some of the things they put time (and/or money) into come back to life! You guys are busy and focused!
