As a startup CEO, I’m always expected to have all of the right answers. But I discovered a while back there might be even more power in having all of the right questions.   You see, when I started asking the right questions to grow my startup team, everything changed. I started getting hockey stick growth from our team nearly immediately. It turned out I could get more production out of five questions than I could from spending thousands of dollars on expensive recruiters and HR help.For show notes, to ask a question, and to hang with me: www.bensmith.tvJoin our growing community on Facebook: Voice Entrepreneur Facebook GroupThank you for all of the incredible support & reviews!

I finally missed publishing a podcast episode yesterday. I broke my streak at 110 episodes. I was in Vegas for business, yet I still woke up early as usual. Unfortunately, my travel mic quality was extremely poor and I decided it was best to wait a day to record. At first, I was upset. I love my creative process and I don’t want to let you down. But I realized that sometimes doing less was actually a way we can all win more. So I took the extra time in the early morning and compiled more notes and ideas for episodes. By being forced to slow down for a day, I actually came out of it feeling like we all won. That got me thinking about all of the ways I could do less to win more. And so I want to share 5 of the best reasons to do less and win more.  Also, please hit the subscribe button so that you do not miss any future Voice Entrepreneur episodes!Thanks for all of the incredible support & reviews!

I did a podcast episode a couple days ago where I shared how I discovered a way of stealing ultra hot leads from the competition. It turns out if you track recent follows on Twitter and LinkedIn, you will be shocked by how many sales/marketing people and CEOs follow people after they have a first sales call or in-person meeting. So we would track recent follows and then call on these same people, and usually hear, "Great timing! We’re thinking about this service right now!" I also mentioned how startups of 8 or less are the easiest and give away the most information. Like shooting fish in a barrel. So the question then is asking how do you play defense so nobody steals your own company leads?  Please hit the subscribe button so that you do not miss any future episodes.Thanks for all of the incredible support & reviews!

If you want to explode sales, ask your existing customers for referrals. If you’re a startup, ask your existing happy users to recommend you. And if you have a voice skill, find a way to ask your listeners for referrals too.For show notes, to ask a question, and to hang with me: www.bensmith.tvJoin our growing community on Facebook: Voice Entrepreneur Facebook GroupThank you for all of the incredible support & reviews!Subscribe:➔ Apple iTunes➔ Spotify➔ Google Play➔ Stitcher➔ AlexaFollow me:➔ Instagram➔ LinkedIn➔ Twitter➔ Facebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
