GROWING IN YOUR (AND OUR) COMMUNITY - WILLIAM EASTMAN

and build a network of alliances around the world

PROFIT RADIO..."Let's Grow Together"

Introduction
Last week I talked about working together. That our concept of a Chief Growth for Hire was the purpose behind everything we have built - a radio station, a website, a community, and a job app. All of it is underlying the role of the IBGR Network. This week, not only in this show, but all of my shows: Growth Community, Building in Front of You, Your MLM Empire, and Creating a Consulting Business - everything centers on how to use the IBGR Network for business success.

That is what is meant by Looking at IBGR as your CGO - your virtual Chief Growth Officer.

Objectives - The WHY
I am not going to start this off in traditional fashion by talking about all the features of our offer at the Network. Instead my focus is on the value you will receive. Even at our most basic level - FREE is more than most provide in return for a big fee.

Last weeks show highlighted the 3 business models we used to provide a one stop affordable solution: a radio station, a consulting & coaching firm, and a chamber of commerce.

Today’s Show will outline what that means and everything available to you at our basic level - FREE.

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. What are the features of the Community?
2. How do I use the Network to build my company?
3. How do I use the Network to build my relationships with customers?

What You Need to Know - The WHAT

• Join and complete personal profile;
• Review all of the groups available, both public and private, and decide which to join;
• While your waiting, review the Hosts, and Topics that will help you with current issues in the business, pick who and what to follow;
• When you have been granted access to the group (within 24 hours or less), get inside and look around. Answer any surveys that will help us tailor the experience you need.

Next week's show l detail how to build a list of your performance improvements to make the relationship rewarding.

What You Need to Do​​ - The HOW

1. Personal Profile: this has 2 purposes - providing the team at IBGR an idea of how we can help, and second, there are people in the community who need what you know or can do - make it easier for them to find you.
2. Selecting a Host: this is a very personal decision. As you listen to our international hosts representing over 20 countries and in 5 major topic areas, each is a subject matter expert in both the the topic and business in their local area. Once you start following, ask for a personal meeting, if they don't ask you first, and begin a relationship. The Network is here to help and all of our OnAir Talent understood this before joining.
3. Selective a Group: we tow different types of groups - topic and host based.
   1. Topic: we use Balanced Scorecard as a method of developing our programming every Season. Monday is Finance Day, Tuesday is Operations, Wednesday is Customers, Thursday is People, and Friday is Owner as Executive. Which of these are pressing issues inside your business - you can join as many as you want.
   2. Host: some of our hosts focus on a singular topic area, others create their own topics. Everything on the Network, 24 hours a day - 7 days a week, is focused on Starting, Growing, and Exiting a business.
4. Selecting a Topic: you can select a general topic like finance bby joining that group or you make your search and interaction more selective. Go through our list of topics and select the one's you want to follow. just like following a host, whenever anything is posted on the topic, you will receive a notification.
5. Posting: you have 4 choices:
   1. Post: quick post
   2. Question/Poll: ask a question or create a poll to collect data.
   3. Discussion: start a conversation to solve a problem, ask for assistance.
   4. Blog: longer than a post, share a blog you intend to post of your site for feedback, share some information the Network will find useful.
   5. Comment: your thoughts to the post, question, discussion, and blog of another member of the Network.
6. Attending Webinars: we offer weekly seminars, some free - some for a fee, where we drill down on topics from the radio shows or respond to a request from the Network.
7. Getting FIT: build and implement your improvement plan. Using our tools take your company to the next level.
8. Bringing Your Customers Inside: what if you abandoned to the Masters of the Universe and the arbitrary control they have over your future. You can use the Community with your clients like we are doing with you, and we'll help!

​The purpose of this show was to move you from 'fixin to' to doing. If you are serious about becoming a successful business owner, accessing our talent, insights, and tools will make your journey faster and easier.

We are your single, one stop source for business success, period, end of story.
