SALES S = Serve A = Asking L = Listening E = Empathise S = Summarise

[@olenievart]

Man, what’s old… I’m 37, just moved to Canada one year ago from China, started my art history and small art business management instructing online. Thanks.

[@SIE7EJL]

I started auto upholstery at 35 and now 42 doing my own upholstery business full time for the past 4 yrs (7yrs total. 3 part time, cause i had a full warehouse job and 4 full time, cause the warehouse job moved out of state) so far i make my own schedule. Income is 4x what I used to get at the warehouse.

[@OliwiaDesign]

Congrats 🎉❤

[@FrankMeester46]

Im 76 and Im beginning everyday!!

[@mwhite212]

All these guys talking about starting late at 40.....I didn't start going to school for design until the age of 50 and am still working on my degree at 52. lol. Some days it's terrifying.

[@AdrianMark]

I got my first job as a self taught designer at the age of 22, 12 years later I got my law degree, paid for by my design work over 6 years, at 34. It was terrifying too. I can't imagine what it's like to shift at 50, but my hat is off to you sir, and I wish you absolutely the best.

[@geewiz8253]

@@AdrianMarkI admire both of you.

[@journey2millionaire]

Thanks!

[@Loki_Dokie]

41 here, shifting, studied web dev for 10 months on my own recently and just stopped because I wasn't feeling the high logic. Never saw it as a failure, and I love writing and psychology of advertising, so I'm going after digital marketing. Cheers yall and wow on the law degree. Awesome sticking at it at 52

[@pedrojosecruz1987]

Are you doing that online!? I am 36 and don’t know where to start. Love design.

[@ConnectedAsOne]

This truly is a gold. I just started following Chris and I truly feel beyond blessed finding him. I have been a huge fan of Tony Robbins but I will be hyped for a while and not have the consistency. Somehow there is a huge disconnect but with Chris he creates that insatiable hunger in me. His character resonated closely to mine where I believed serving is the key to achieving everything we need or want in life. His content is gold and the only content by far I'm willing to pay. In fact, I have it on my goal list to be a part of his Pro Community.

[@savascc]

I agree with the definition of Master vs Amateur. I will add that it takes 7 things to reach that point. And those are honesty, intention, discipline, confidence, determination, balance and gratitude.

[@SuperRadChad]

Chris is so great to listen to because the way he thinks. He has a great understanding of business, communication and philosophy

I'm 17 and I say I'm starting late about finding out that I want to be a creative.

[@billybogey]

Love the pace, vulnerability and transparency of this conversation. It feels like two friends talking and sharing. Thanks for this guys!

[@plicool]

Bryan's inquisitive nature and Chris' honesty is beautiful. Thanks guys. So informative and eye opening 🔅

[@BehindtheBrand]

thank you

[@karlrice3426]

that is a huge flex. His internal team are so strong that an external person cant out perform them

[@TammyReneeCoaching]

This was so encouraging and I really needed to hear this because I am 46 and I feel so far behind just barely getting into the digital world within the last few months

[@renosance8941]

Learn one platform at a time. _You don't need to know all of them,_ just the ones relevant to what you specifically want to do. Clarify what you want. Your genuine life experience will more than make up for whatever you think you've lost. People such as myself (29) who grew up with the internet still feel behind sometimes. It's an ever-changing landscape, you're always on time.

[@TammyReneeCoaching]

@renosance8941 thank you so much for the advice and suggestions. I really appreciate you taking the time out to comment. I commend you for being so young and so into this social media era!

[@tilosobelman3114]

Have a sales process that’s repeatable because the last thing you want to do is guess where your money comes from! I’d start with learning how to tell your story in 5 seconds or less. I say this because when you focus on seeking problems and solving those, you’ll make money, and you’ll sound different on your websites and your pitches and introductions, talk about them and what they get and then surround yourself around that. You got this!

[@TammyReneeCoaching]

@tilosobelman3114 I appreciate your response. I didn't mention being behind on my sales process. I'm already a 7 figure sales trainer. What my post said is I feel behind in the digital era. I've made a ton WITHOUT the internet. So, that's the one thing I'm working on. I have my SOP down. Again, thank you for your advice.

[@tilosobelman3114]

@@TammyReneeCoaching ahh I see yes thank you for clarifying and that’s great! That switch can be funny sometimes, if you have the money then you’ll be alright with a team I imagine, high end I think that’s like 20k a month to be seen on the biggest platforms and having a camera team and editors writers etc

[@TendaiPottinger]

I haven't even listened to this yet, but the bokeh in the background is just magic. Can't wait to hear the content, got a feeling it is gonna be useful.

[@ssef3232]

I'm a big fan of Chris, I'm glad to hear him outside his channel with a discussion centered on him

[@jonvoss4376]

This was a great conversation. I love having this deeper view of Chris’s beliefs and journey. Lots of shared wisdom and vulnerability from both guys. We need more open dialogue like this in all industries and levels of business.

[@ReubenHerzl]

So glad to see these guys connecting!

[@AndrewRMontoya]

I’ve been listening to Chris for years now. It’s interesting seeing him be more open and vulnerable on what HE wants and HIS goals. I’d love to see a follow up.

[@PowerOfAIandMotivation]

Thank you both for sharing this awesome interview

[@ErDige]

This conversation was pure gold!

Thanks to this guy I started my youtube channel and I give more value for the work I do. Thanks Chris Do.

[@BehindtheBrand]

great

[@lisar.2549]

I am so impressed with Chris Do!

[@SandeepSAulakh]

Wow, yet another fantastic masterclass from Bryan! I was absolutely blown away by his conversation with Chris Do, who shared so many valuable insights and experiences about sales and marketing. I really loved how Chris was able to simplify complex concepts and make them easy to understand. It was truly inspiring to hear how he's been able to build such a successful career in the creative industry, and the amount of knowledge he has is truly impressive. I have to say, I could listen to Chris talk about sales and marketing all day long without getting bored. He has such a captivating speaking style that really draws you in and keeps you engaged. I also appreciate how he takes the time to answer questions and provide actionable advice that can help entrepreneurs and creatives alike. Thanks so much to Bryan and Chris for sharing their expertise and insights with us. I learned so much from this masterclass and I can't wait to put some of these strategies into practice in my own business.

[@weldersandblaster]

Yeah, exactly, what you said.

[@PUMPINGSHARK]

Takin notes!

[@Hephthehomie]

I love content like this. Once again i'm glad that stuff like this is free online. Im switching professions and this helps me a lot! I very much agree with the notion of the more you give away (knowledge at least) the more you gain. Chris is giving away all this knowledge bombs and now im very much enticed to look at what courses he offers. But not before finish up all of his videos first. heh thanks again for this video, keep up the great work, and more life to those of us wanting to change the world for the better!

[@visionboardmusicvision4the513]

Thanks for the golden nuggets!

[@abie1295]

I love this interview. it gets more and more entertaining to watch and deeper into the knowledge as the video getting close to the ending. Tons of knowledge to be learned in just a (almost) 2 hours video. Just shows how experienced these two are in their field. You can have influential figure here but without a knowledgeable interviewer, you won't get much from them without knowing what to asks what to say. Thank you

[@ThisDesignLife]

[@briankelm]

Replay!

[@alexk7837]

Good talk guys. One question: oftentimes, clients don't know what they need. How do you lead them to their needs?

[@BehindtheBrand]

I think it starts with finding out more facts. For example, Is "what they need" really what they need? If so, find out why. Work from data points; their stated goals, then make sure it's aligned with what you can deliver.

[@FrankMeester46]

This Universal Trend of having the ''Scruff Look " has been proven to be counter productive A man with a beard comes with baggage. He’s been accused of harboring bacteria and grossing out women and thinks that it makes him look more muscular. One study found that infrequent shaving of facial hair was linked with early deaths from all causes,most notably cardiovascular disease and less likely to be married,and had fewer orgasms. Having a clean shave exudes confidence. This look is considered to be a confident and trustworthy look. That is because your bearded look can alter your face structure, cover your acne or blemishes, but this look is an honest and open look. If you have a face structure to die for, just as well flaunt it! Sharp jawlines and flawless facial features should be flaunted and not covered up under facial hair. You can flaunt your natural features best in a clean-shaven look! It is a sign of confidence and honesty thus people are attracted to the clean shaven look. Psychologically, it symbolises self-confidence. You know the direct bearing a clean shave has on your personal morale. Compare the way you feel in making and important call or attending a special meeting when you are freshly shaved with the way you feel with a day’s growth of stubble on your chin. There’s all the difference in the world. It seems a trivial thing to have such an effect upon you, but for some psychological reason, it does have that effect – and you know it.

[@thewelbornshow2326]

Have you considered taking a look at your sales team setup? Having just your 1 sales person who’s booked out two weeks kills thousands of dollars worth of deals.

What is a "mastermind"?

[@SuperRadChad]

These dips have all been so shallow last 12 months just wait until we get a 30% + and the emotions will be all types of worked up. That’s if we even get one the way it’s all being soaked up. I think miners are hoarding right now and could dump as we head up.

[@lisar.2549]

In regards to Behind the Brand host, you’re not letting Mr. Beast fail, you’re not letting the market decide. Quit “Mommimg” him and the rest of us and let the process happen. I mean, you have no choice anyway.

[@BehindtheBrand]

I'm not sure where your parenting reference or personal attack is coming from. If you disagree with our opinions then by all means present a counter argument and your take. This is a discussion, commentary and opinions between Chris and I about Jimmy's brand. I recommend focusing less on "the host" and more on what lessons can be learned from these discussions about brand.

[@lisar.2549]

@@BehindtheBrand, that was my counter argument, that he should learn from his failure. I honestly think that would benefit him more than any attempt to protect him from his own natural inclinations. Given the type of person that he is, I am observing that this is probably the only way he would learn this lesson.

[@JustinLopezPROD]

Old heads hating on Mr Beast lol

[@jonathangonza]

The Mr. beast conversation was a bit silly questioning his character, he still thinks like a kid in certain life subjects, but if you look at his interview the video was so Mr. Beast and the video was taken out of context. There are 100% bad people out there doing things behind closed doors and they work for the corporations we tend to adore.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Chris and I felt it was a brand related question worth exploring.

[@levihale3267]

This was excellent up until we got to gossiping about Mr. Beast. I don't care about what Mr beast does, most of us aren't looking to do what he does. I wanted to learn more about your experience and knowledge, not your opinions on that guy.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Fair enough. But what you call gossip was a convo about brand strategy. Regardless of how you label it, what can you learn from the Mr Beast case study on this subject.

[@JustinLopezPROD]

Chatty Patty af

[@GettingNegative]

Ok, so the fear of a room full of people looking to keep more poor people poor is true. Got it. If you’d like to respond, you’ll have to convince me that people who make $100 million plus a year don’t directly facilitate someone underpaying and exploiting someone else.

[@FrankMeester46]

Hormozi needs to clean himself up

[@weldersandblaster]

1 question you forgot to ask. All the people that never got eye surgery because they couldn't afford it, and because Beasts game show was not big enough to reach out to them, the people left with bad eyes, ask them, are you happy that Beast could not turn you into a product he could exploit for his own gain? Are you happy being left with your bad eyes? Or would you rather be exploited and profitised by beast and get eye treatment cures? If beast didn't drag them into treatment with them kicking and screaming, no I don't want help, then isn't he a good guy? Everything in life is a trade. I have this if you have that for me. Always has been, always will be. Divorce is for all the people who think they are giving more than they are getting in return. Now with your critique of beast, are you steering away the next game show dude from curing people because he saw your show, and he does not want to be portrayed the way you're portraying beast. Are you shaming away the next round of cures? Are you helping the next group of sick people go without medicine because no one else saw a way to profit from giving them the cure for free, without them being portrayed as a beast? PUN INTENDED. You two are sitting there influencing the next treatment plan into or out of existence. You are influencing people right now. Are you doing it intentionally with an outcome in mind? What do you hope to gain by that conversation, I wonder? Does it make you feel superior because you can sit on your high horse and look down your nose at another because his motives were not altruistic? But yet your both consultants and sell your talents. Or can I call you guys and schedule an appointment to get you to cure my branding problems while I have nothing to offer you? Or do you have a higher than I can read IQ plan to help the next group of people that cant afford their treatment? And I have no room to judge you guys because you made me wonder, what have I done to help others lately besides sit around judging people who make videos. I love your show, It's so thought intriguing. Thank you.

[@BehindtheBrand]

Appreciate the long response… I’ll reply with restating and clarifying my question to Chris: “Does Jimmy’s latest video help, hurt or do nothing to his brand?” In my opinion, not withstanding any good it does for some people, it hurts his brand for all the reasons we discussed.

[@weldersandblaster]

@@BehindtheBrand Yes, while we embrace his actions are helping some people who couldn't get it otherwise, he is coming across as desperate and needy for more show ideas, and it appears as if he is stretching/grasping in the bottom of the barrel for the next idea to keep propelling his show forward. And that is a legitimate struggle. And I'm glad it's his and not mine. I loved this show. I look forward to seeing you grasp to do better in your next show than you did in this one. The pressure is on. Can you hold up? 🤭

[@BehindtheBrand]

@@weldersandblaster it’s a good reminder about the meaning of brand, and how it really lives in the hearts and minds of the people with whom it comes in contact. Millions of Jimmy’s young fans - and some not so young who are meat-riding his every move without considering the implications of Jimmy’s growing unrestricted power, will continue to worship the ground he walks on like the court from the story of The Emperor’s New Clothes. God help us if he actually decides to run for president some day. 💀

[@weldersandblaster]

@@BehindtheBrand Yes he is tarnishing his brand, but only in the eyes of the more illuminated. And in the eyes of the young and easily impressionable, they like him more and more. He already knows he can't please everyone, so who is his focus? This rate of growth indicates his focus is on whoever is the largest audience segment. But that's already what a politician does. They lie/promise dance for the largest audience to win the popularity contest that puts them in office. That is the nature of the beast. Again PUN INTENDED. And as public sentiment and fads change and evolve, their dance changes so they can continue pleasing the largest crowd, and so they can continue winning the popularity contest. Yes, god help us if he wins a presidency, because his actions won't be guided by doing what is smartest to do for the country, but his actions will about pleasing the lowest IQ segment of our nation so he can continue winning the popularity contest, because without that, who/what is he? The bible calls it, the blind leading the blind. The ignorant masses choose/vote who our protector is to be, simply because they are the largest voting sector. Yes god help us. The scary part is god does not have a history of running into help me when I call. There is no one coming to help us. What are we going to do?

[@jlr4434]

Well you’ll have to criticize Doctors Without Borders, Mercy Ship, and every medical charity on earth too, for their advertising to receive donations. Because it’s not possible to reach everyone in need at all times.
