TIP OF THE WEEK

Michael: Leverage the indirect ask. Instead of directly asking for something, approach your request by seeking ideas or feedback. This method encourages creativity and often leads to unexpected opportunities, like valuable connections or resources. Try it the next time you need help with a challenge!

Mark: Measure your brand’s referability. Visit myreferabilityrater.com to get an actionable score on how referable your brand is. This tool will help you assess areas like accessibility, which are key to growing your business through word-of-mouth marketing.
