About the show

Congrats, you’re here. There are very few humans on earth who are as persistent, bullheaded and frankly talented enough to do what you’ve done. You're a black sheep, an unconventional thinker who heads left while the masses flock right. You're in the 1%. Thank goodness for you. You also know you've barely scratched the surface of your company's true revenue potential and you're looking for proven strategies to take the business to the next level via the shortest, most effective route. Welcome. You’re in the right place. Get ready to think big with business transformation strategies to help you dominate your market, disrupt your industry, and leave your competitors scratching their heads wondering how the heck you did it. Yes, this is a marketing podcast —but it's much more than that. It's all about strategy first, guiding you to carve out an unbeatable market position, amplify results, reinvent your offerings, and take your business further, faster. Discover my insider secrets of next-level business growth, branding, lead generation, sales, thought leadership, product innovation, premium pricing, and marketing to the ultra-affluent—and much more. Each episode is delivered in a hybrid American-New Zealand accent, usually bite-sized (most are 5 minutes unless it's an interview inwhich case that time limit goes out the window ), sometimes funny and always thought provoking. Based on the book The Client Stampede (by Julie Guest).

When Sales Are Slow, Don’t Cut Prices. Do This Instead

Sales slowing down? Don’t panic—and definitely don’t reach for the discount lever.In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the most damaging (yet common) knee-jerk reactions in business: cutting prices when sales stall.
