​​​@@thefuturHey Chris, "Give me businesses where you pay only after you use it if you like it"" I mean... -Amazon -telesales 90 day money back, -Any online sale actually (distance sale mandatory 14 day cool down). -free trials (pay from the fourth month if you like it I mean...i have only really put my money in a temporary type purgatory type joint account with you where I still have total access to it back within my trial/return period. Money's not truly yours until it's in your account where I can no longer reach it. So I for that reason I haven't actually paid unless I am fully satisfied enough to keep it. I even know people that were satisfied and still returned it after theyd completed their use. Many an Adobe project completed that way with different emails back in the struggle days after the cracked cs versions ended I am one hundred percent with Chris as always ...but he asked the comments section for examples so here they are bro even without the crookery part. Amazon no questions asked returns.

I think the issue is for people that don’t agree with you is that they’re not taking your advice and adjusting it to fit themselves, they’re taking it exactly how you say it and are getting upset that that will never work for them. No one is forcing anyone to take your advice exactly to the T for every business on the planet. But for this specific scenario it’ll definitely work.

When I applied this approach both in mindset and practice to my conversations with prospects for my agency, from Mom/Pop shops to companies doing tens of millions per year in gross revenue, I instantly saw 2 changes: I made A LOT more money and I closed happier prospects a lot more often strangely enough. Chris & Team is out here trying to help creatives understand that they are actually business people if they own their own brand. You're not a designer, a brand strategist, a videographer. You're a business owner. If you don't understand and articulate business to other business owners, it's very hard to communicate the value of your service/outcomes. The fact that they post this for FREE for everyone to soak up is WILD.

[@thefutur]

💯

[@joeyc666]

Glad to see everyone enthused for part 2, but whatever happened to saying please?

[@catstickler]

2:07 Okay, the ONLY time I can think of a business like that is a hospital/emergency room. Not just any doctor (because most doctors in the US require a copay first), but if you go to the ER or get something like imaging done, you get the service and use the products (i.e. treatment, consultations, a hospital bed, equipment, etc) first and then get a scary bill in the mail after. You don't HAVE to pay and it can hit your credit, but you can file bankruptcy to avoid paying. It's definitely not a "pay what you want" scenario, though. But that's NOT a typical type of business, and that's without getting into the debate of whether hospitals should be for-profit or not.

[@stephenpena7813]

And even then you end up in debt and hounded for life if you don't pay. Lol

You don't put in $150k your business makes that money. After operating expenses, you make/save $50K. By making that income you can then leverage that to get business loans to grow your business.

I'm intrigued by marketing for my own endeavors, but there's something peculiar about this video. Allow me to explain from a viewer's perspective in a constructive manner. It's undeniable that many successful KZbinrs prioritize both video and audio quality. While the audio here is indeed impeccable, it sometimes feels overly polished. As you hinted sometimes, your clients value simplicity and clarity in the logos you create (though you didn't phrase it exactly this way, that's the impression I received). When you're facing the camera with just a board and flawless audio, and there's no direct eye contact, it can create a sense of disconnection for the viewer. Then, when a second person appears, the viewer realizes you're not alone. Is this an editing oversight? Perhaps not. The distinction between this video and others where you're engaging with a crowd is evident. Why? Because in an open room with people, there's usually some echo, subtly indicating to the viewer that you're not alone. I hope this feedback is helpfull.
