Interview with Barry Shore, Joy of Living

1Comments

Barry Shore is here to show you how to live with joy and without stress. He had been studying joy for many years and then suddenly became a quadriplegic due to a rare disease. After months in the hospital and a long recovery, he is now a paraplegic and can function with some help.

Yet he never lost the joy of living. This interview will have you smiling, I can guarantee it.

How is this related to your business? Because Barry and I want your business to be a joy for you, not a burden.

When people first come into contact with you…

  • On your website
  • In the audience where you’re speaking
  • By reading an e-book you’ve written
  • By subscribing to your email list

…they need to know a little more about you before they’ll become a customer. They aren’t too sure about you and what you can offer them.

They need to:

  • get to know you
  • feel comfortable with you
  • trust you
  • like you

That’s because a big part of the buying decision is emotional.

Are you finding that people who come to your website without any other introduction generally don’t subscribe to your list or buy anything from you? That’s pretty typical because they don’t know enough about your or your business to make a purchasing decision.

Customers need to feel a connection with online business owners before they make a decision to buy. Blogging and content marketing are great ways to start building your relationship, but consumers want to know that you really care.

The benefit of being a podcast guest

That’s where speaking comes in. People can connect with you more fully when they hear you speak. Let’s talk about how you can bring people to your website by speaking on podcasts and other online venues. Podcasting is a great way to start for 2 reasons: Read More
