Crushing It! by Gary Vaynerchuk
If you wanted to get the CEO of a big corporation to buy your services, which salesperson would you send? Would you pick your top qualified salesperson, hire an agency, or just do it yourself?
Why not enlist that CEO's spouse as the salesperson? He/she would be the ultimate salesperson.
But how would you do that? You can't just call the CEO's spouse and ask them to be a salesperson and convince the CEO to buy your services.
So why did one CEO's wife keep asking him--every day until he did--when he'd buy John Ruhlin's services?
We're so focused on 10% and 50% returns. Some of us think about doubling our return or doing even more. Few of us truly set out to 10X our return.
But a 100X return? Every dollar spent turning into $100?
No ad will give you that. But giftology can. Listen to today's snippet to learn more.

The ultimate, sole goal for most authors is to get more book sales. This is why most authors don't make enough money from their books.
Instead of viewing a new reader as the end result, use your book to strengthen the relationship and provide calls-to-action.
Your book is a funnel that people pay to get into. It's not the main product. This is how authors become authorpreneurs and expand the revenue potential for each of their books.
Gundi Gabrielle shares a lot of great insights in this snippet alone.
