Audio Transcription

Transcribed with Cockatoo

(Speaker 9)
Josh Atkinson, I’ve been friends with Clay for about 25 years. It’s just very informative, you know, as there’s a lot of information coming at you, but I think every type of business can take certain aspects of the information that’s given and apply it to their business in a positive way. Oh, definitely come here. I mean, there’s no reason not to. You’re going to be surrounded by like -minded people, a lot of networking involved, a lot of people from all over the country that are going to be here to communicate different levels of businesses from, you know, startups all the way to 300, 400 employees.

(Speaker 43)
My name’s Charles Kola.

(Speaker 12)
I’m Amber Conewell.

(Speaker 43)
With Conewell Fitness.

(Speaker 11)
We’ve loved the conference.

(Speaker 12)
It’s awesome. Every time. Every time we love it. I think there’s still a lot yet to come. We’ve got a couple more hours, but so far it’s been the high energy. Everybody’s super excited to be here, excited to learn.

(Speaker 12)
Just great connections with so many people. You just learn a lot.

(Speaker 11)
I love Clay. He’s hilarious. He makes it like real practical like business business checklist workflows and stuff.

(Speaker 3)
He’s hilarious.

(Speaker 11)
He’s really funny.

(Speaker 40)
Hey, come check it out.

(Speaker 42)
It’s a lot of fun.

(Speaker 3)
And you can objectively see that side of the business at play, real practical, not necessarily university type stuff, but real traction stuff that you can really take back with you and implement in your business.

(Speaker 12)
Yeah. The price of the ticket’s totally worth the value that you get in return, just from the content that’s talked about during the day while you’re there, plus all the material they send with you.

(Speaker 36)
The ticket itself, you’ll get your value back.

(Speaker 41)
Hello, I’m Emma Bornberger from Thurlight, Wisconsin, and we heard about you guys from a friend, and we absolutely love this conference.

(Speaker 5)
We’ve been to different conferences before, but I love the nitty -gritty, detailed things that was talked about. I’m Wade Balzer. I’m here from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The experience is amazing. The business coaching that you would get, bar none, is the best. I mean, seriously.

(Speaker 5)
I’ve come several times to this thing.

(Speaker 40)
It’s always amazing.

(Speaker 5)
You get a lot out of it. It’s great energy, great environment. You learn a lot. It’s a lot of energy. And I’m serious, if you haven’t ever come to this, you must come. It is that good.

(Speaker 5)
I highly recommend it. You will profit in your business. His business principles are simple to follow.

(Speaker 4)
You do the work, you get paid very well. I was dragged here by a colleague. I had never heard of you guys before today. Amazing. Um, absolutely incredible. Very just from the moment I walked in, I felt really good about it.

(Speaker 4)
Really amazing atmosphere. Very energetic. Couldn’t recommend it higher enough. I don’t know how often it is, but I’ll be at the next one.

(Speaker 10)
No doubt. My favorite thing. That’s a hard one because I love all of it. I love the fact that the spirit of the Holy Spirit, the energy, and Clay’s energy, of course, which channeling it is so powerful and strong.

(Speaker 15)
I feel like I’m home. My name is Rex and my partner told me about it and brought me down here with him. I would say absolutely do it.

(Speaker 8)
You won’t regret it and it will benefit your business tremendously. Port Aransas, Texas. It’s beautiful here. Great, good weather. Can’t complain. You can’t complain about it.

(Speaker 8)
I mean, it’s beautiful. Well, my business is construction, land development, and property management. And how I heard about it was through Dave and his glory and probably Julie Green.

(Speaker 39)
And I don’t know if I heard it on Elijah’s channel.

(Speaker 6)
Gosh, man. Tom Floss, I’d say right around four or five years ago. I just kind of felt like we were stuck and my wheels weren’t moving and I had this goal and I just didn’t really know how to get there. So you guys actually helped me with that. I reached out to you guys, we started our relationship, we started our coaching sessions and you guys helped me build a lot of the systems. that we have now.

(Speaker 1)
But you know, Clay, had I not actually sat down and took the time and the energy to reach out to you and then set aside time every single week to actually work on the specific goal of scaling window ninjas, then it would have never happened and we wouldn’t have the, it wouldn’t have come to fruition like it is today.

(Speaker 38)
Gage Salinas, welcome on to the Thrived Time Show.

(Speaker 6)
How are you, sir? I am wonderful, Clay.

(Speaker 1)
I’m glad to be here with you today.

(Speaker 6)
And just to give people a little context, how long have we worked with you in your business, sir? A little over three years, Clay.

(Speaker 1)
We’ve been together for a little bit of a journey now. And I think we picked the best of times and the worst of times to work together. I mean, it’s like right at the peak of the geopolitical craziness. That’s when we started working with you. But you’ve continued to grow. What kind of growth have you seen over these past three years?

(Speaker 6)
Just so the listeners know that you do have, in fact, a business that can navigate through difficult times. I actually went back and looked through our numbers and I looked at some of our goals that we had set in the original conversation that I had with your team. And we have surpassed my original number that I wanted to hit with you guys.

(Speaker 36)
And I was quite shocked at how, I won’t say easy, but systematic it was for us to be able to get to where we wanted to be.

(Speaker 14)
What’s your guys’ name and how’d you hear about Clay Clark? Phil and Michelle Christensen.

(Speaker 6)
My wife heard about Clay online.

(Speaker 37)
kind of got into a backstory on him, started researching him, so that’s how we heard about him.

(Speaker 36)
Awesome!

(Speaker 8)
And what’s your guys’ favorite part about the conference so far?

(Speaker 14)
Like -minded people, Christian values, all

(Speaker 1)
people that have started up their own business exactly what we’re looking for fresh different ideas awesome and if someone was on edge about coming to the conference what would you say to them well worth the time I’m not a social person I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t think it was worth my time awesome So we’ve almost doubled, we went from 50 leads to 85 leads on average a week that we’re seeing. But I’ll tell you what, mentioning that, the branding and the website, I like that you pulled up at the beginning, Clay, our first suncoastpestmanagement . com and then the ca . com because that was our first website and there was no traffic, things weren’t happening. And we left that up while we transitioned over to the Thrive Time team and the website. And it’s been unbelievable the amount of traffic that we’re seeing and the difference between the two that we’re going live.

(Speaker 1)
So now we’re taking that website down this month and pointing that website to our new website. But what we’re finding is it’s a vism. I know if anyone doesn’t know what the vism is, it’s the video imaging, images, search engine optimization, and then the more reviews. What we focus on is the video testimonies, the images, and the reviews. We let you guys take care of the search engine stuff, but seeing the difference in the websites, we know it’s working. We know the pages and the content on the back end is working.

(Speaker 1)
You got to take the step.

(Speaker 2)
You got to step out there and experience it for yourself.

(Speaker 35)
That’s $1 ,700.

(Speaker 1)
It’s nothing. I mean, that’s a no -brainer deal, to be honest with you, Clay. I mean, the $1 ,700 that we pay from the coaching that I’ve got, the system implementation, things that work from group interviewing and getting the right people on our team, you can’t put a price on it. You just really can’t. I know what we paid for our website before, we’re paid. less now than what we were paying before.

(Speaker 1)
And we’re getting better results now.

(Speaker 2)
So it really is just a no -brainer for anyone that’s really looking to grow their business.

(Speaker 35)
I’m telling you, call me. I’ll tell you.

(Speaker 2)
Give my number.

(Speaker 1)
You call me and I’ll tell you. You’re making the right decision. Okay, folks, on today’s edition of The Thrive Time Show, we’re interviewing a real person. I think so many people say, I want to become successful, but can I do it? I think that’s something that lingers in the minds of some people is can I do it? So what I try to do on The Thrive Time Show is I try to bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be and to show you that it’s 100 % possible, that it’s 100 % doable by introducing you to real clients that are really implementing the real systems that really work.

(Speaker 1)
And with that being said, Sean, welcome onto The Thrive Time Show.

(Speaker 16)
How are you, sir?

(Speaker 2)
Doing good. Thanks, Clay.

(Speaker 1)
Thanks for having me. Now, for anybody who might think that you’re a hologram or just a male model, tell us your first and last name.

(Speaker 2)
And what’s the name of your company?

(Speaker 1)
Sean McGough, and it’s Suncoast Pest Management.

(Speaker 2)
And for people who want to visit your website, where’s the best place people can go to find your website?

(Speaker 1)
It’s suncoastpestmanagementca . com. OK, so suncoastpestmanagement . com. Is that you right there, sir? It’s ca .

(Speaker 1)
com. So SuncoastPestManagementCA .

(Speaker 2)
com. Sean, tell us about your company there.

(Speaker 1)
What exactly do you do at SuncoastPetManagementCA . com? Yeah, we take care of all pest control, from rodents to wildlife to termites to just general pests, from ants to roaches.

(Speaker 2)
And we take care of commercial, residential. And we take care of San Diego, Riverside, and the Orange County area. Now, for anybody out there that is watching this show, people hear about this show from a variety of sources, some from their friends, some from family, some from Spotify. How did you originally come in contact with The Thrive Time Show? That’s a good question, Clay. You know, I was invited by a friend of mine.

(Speaker 2)
He had joined with you guys and has a drywall business. And he said, you got to come out here. And I was skeptical at first. I said, you know, I’ll go, but I’m just going to tell you, I’m not doing anything. I’m not joining anything. I’ll go and check it out.

(Speaker 2)
He said, well, come on. Oh, no. I knew Within the first three hours, I was looking for you guys. I was like, I got to join this.

(Speaker 1)
I got to join this. I want to belong to this. The excitement, the energy was just next level. And I just really knew that this was something that would benefit our company. Now, the thing I try to do, and I think you’ve been a great fit for our organization, it’s really a win -win, but I always tell great people like you, I say, listen, we want to have a shalom relationship with you. We want to have a win -win.

(Speaker 1)
A lot of relationships start with a weird contract. Somebody gives you a con, and they lock you on a weird track.

(Speaker 2)
How would you describe the nature of our relationship? It is month to month. We do charge you $1 ,700 a month. But how would you describe, as a business owner, what it’s like entering into a relationship with a business coach platform when you know it’s month to month. You know, it’s been awesome because I meet with Sean Lohman. He’s my business coach.

(Speaker 2)
And we look forward to it. It’s been exciting. He holds me accountable. It’s been fun. I know every week that he’s going to be wanting to better my business and helps me to better my business.

(Speaker 1)
And I just, again, just the excitement, the energy around it and the wanting to track the results, be on top of the numbers and to show the wins every week. I look forward to it. Let’s win. We got to win. Now, I’m going to pull up these steps that we teach. And for anybody out there who wants to follow along, you can go to thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 1)
com forward slash free resources. Let me point that out again, folks. That’s thrivetimeshow . com forward slash free dash resources. So once you go to thrivetimeshow . com forward slash free dash resources, you can click.

(Speaker 1)
on the book here, How to Build a Successful Business. It’s It’s the orange covered book, How to Build a Successful Business. You can download and read along. But if you haven’t downloaded the book yet, here we go. And we’re getting into page five. To grow a successful company, Sean, so many people say, how do I grow a successful company?

(Speaker 1)
And I tell them, well, you have to implement all 13 of these steps.

(Speaker 2)
And a lot of people say, yeah, I just want to focus on accounting, or I just want to focus on marketing, or I just want to focus on sales. So I want to go through each box on today’s show, rapid fire, 13 boxes, 20 minutes. I want to get your reaction to it. So box number one, how has knowing your revenue goals, how has knowing your revenue goals, again, step number one is establish your revenue goals, how has having a clarity about your revenue goals impacted your business? You know, that’s another good question, Clay.

(Speaker 1)
Even coming into the business and being in the management industry and restaurant for so long and being new to, I mean, a business owner, it’s been seven years, but really trying to be successful running it as a manager and not really knowing and tracking where my break -even number was and what our revenue goals, what we really need to hit. every week. So that’s just been fun, exciting with the team, because everyone in our team now, the culture’s changed. Everyone knows what our break -even number is. Everyone knows and is thriving to get those numbers each week so we can continue to grow the business. I just, again, folks, you talk about who’s a good fit.

(Speaker 1)
It’s anybody out there willing to put in the work. And Sean and his team do a great job. And I encourage everyone to check out their website. Box number two, you have to determine the break -even numbers. That’s how much stuff do you have to sell Just to break even, as you mentioned, you have to know that number. Box number three, you have to define how many hours per week you’re willing to work.

(Speaker 1)
And I know business owners out there, Sean, that aren’t frankly willing to work more than 40 hours a week. I also know business owners out there that aren’t willing to work 30 hours a week. I also know business owners out there that aren’t willing to work 20 hours a week. And you do have to put forth a certain amount of effort.

(Speaker 2)
I recommend working six days, resting on the seventh. And some of you watching this show, maybe your day off is a Thursday, your day off is a Saturday, your day off is a Sunday. But I recommend that people have to be really honest with themselves that they’re willing to put in the work. Could you talk about that, just the willingness you have to put in the work? Yeah, and you know, if it’s a willingness to put in the work, I was always put in the work. I would work six to seven days.

(Speaker 2)
The difference now is I’m working on the business and not in the business. You could I would work around the clock and be willing to work around the clock. The difference is now is that I’ve stepped back. I’m looking at the business from a different perspective than just in the day to day grind. So, yes, I’m working the hours, but it’s it’s and I’ve always I’ve always been one to work. I love to work.

(Speaker 2)
I enjoy working. I’m still doing the same amount of hours.

(Speaker 1)
I’m still doing six six -day work weeks, I rest on the seventh, like you mentioned. But it’s just different now, because we’re seeing results. So the excitement and the energy is just fun. It’s just a good time. Let’s talk about that for a second. What kind of results have you seen?

(Speaker 1)
Again, most of the people we interview on this show, when I ask them how long they’ve worked with us, the clients will say, I’ve worked with you guys for 10 years, or eight years, or seven years. You’re kind of newer to the program. You’re somewhat newer to the program. So approximately how long have you worked with our team?

(Speaker 13)
And just what kind of results have you seen so far?

(Speaker 1)
It’s been amazing. It’s been three months now, and I’ll tell you what, just things like my business coach reaching out to me for the weekend saying, hey, have you listened to your phone calls? Have you listened to your recordings? No, not really. I think it’d be a good idea. And we had this auto receptionist answering, if you’d like to select this, press one.

(Speaker 1)
If you want a movie with your pest control, press two. I mean, really, I thought that was legit. I thought, hey, this is a way to show we’re bigger, even bigger than what we are. And so I thought, to get it into the right hands. But we were watching the calls just rotate and rolling and rolling where it’s like, it’s like, go here and then go here. And then it got the call center would take in say, Well, let me try to get ahold of this sales guy.

(Speaker 2)
Let me try and it just was moving all over.

(Speaker 1)
We got rid of this auto receptionist deal. And we got people answering the phones, we’re getting great feedback, and our leads are converting. It’s just, I mean, I’m telling you, it’s simple stuff, but it’s things that I need to see for myself, and it’s just exciting to see those things actually unfold now. If I can hear the excitement in my voice, Clay, I’m just excited. This is a good time. You’re implementing everything, and I love it.

(Speaker 16)
Now, box number four, you have to figure out what makes you different.

(Speaker 1)
In this world, this clutter of commerce, there’s so many great businesses out there. Again, I’ll pull up your web address, suncoastpetmanagementca . com, suncoastpetmanagementca . com. What is it that really sets you apart in the San Diego market? For anybody out there that doesn’t know, San Diego is a gorgeous area.

(Speaker 1)
The cost of living can be punishingly high. There are many service providers out there, and you are servicing really some of the nicest communities in San Diego. What is it that separates Suncoast Pet Management CA . com from the competition? Good question, Clay. Really, it’s we’re a one stop shop for everything.

(Speaker 1)
A lot of pest control companies will sell you on one thing, but they can’t do another thing. And so people customers have to get multiple different companies to do different things. We do road improving. We do termite tanning. We do just a general pest day to day stuff. We do wildlife trapping and removal.

(Speaker 1)
So there’s that. And then we have we have a same day free inspection.

(Speaker 2)
We want people to see the Suncoast different.

(Speaker 1)
We want them to see our our staff and the culture that we’ve created and the quality of our work we stand by. So when we get out there, there’s nothing to lose. It’s a one -stop shop. it’s a same day free inspection. And then that first service we’re offering an 80 % off that first service. Now, folks, we move on here to the next box.

(Speaker 1)
Again, these are all the steps we need to implement here. There’s a lot of details that go into these steps, but I just want to give you a nice overview, folks, of the kind of impact you can truly have on your business if you’re willing to schedule a free consultation and implement the moves. Box number five, branding. You’ve got to nail down your branding, folks. On a scale of 1 to 10, you’ve got to be honest. If 10 is the best and 1 is the worst, how highly is the branding of your business?

(Speaker 1)
How high quality is the branding of your company? If 10 is like Tiffany, the Tiffany jewelry company, and 10 is Nike and then one is, I don’t know, maybe a disgruntled Kearney who’s pitching port -a -potties at the State Fair. That’s on a scale of 1 to 10. Where do you fall into that? And if you feel like you need to optimize your website, your print pieces, your branding, I encourage you to take action in that regard. Box number six, you have to create a sustainable three -legged marketing stool.

(Speaker 1)
You have to create a turnkey way, Sean, to generate leads. In so many businesses, they’re excited, they’ve got great branding, but they have no leads. They’ve got a million followers on TikTok, but they have no leads. They’ve got a lot of people that follow him on Instagram, but they have no leads. Could you talk about the increase you’ve seen on the actual amount of leads that you’re now seeing of new customers, new lifeblood entering into your company? Yeah, so we’ve almost doubled.

(Speaker 1)
We went from 50 leads to 85 leads on average a week that we’re seeing. But I’ll tell you what, mentioning the branding and the website, I like that you pulled up at the beginning, Clay, our first suncoastpestmanagement . com and then the ca . com because that was our first website and there was no traffic. Things weren’t happening. And we left that up while we transitioned over to the Thrive Time team and the website.

(Speaker 1)
And it’s been unbelievable the amount of traffic that we’re seeing. and the difference between the two that were going live. So now we’re taking that website down. month and pointing that website to our new website. But what we’re finding is It’s a vism. I know if anyone doesn’t know what the vism is, it’s the video imaging, images, search engine optimization, and then the more reviews.

(Speaker 1)
What we focus on is the video testimonies, the images, and the reviews. We let you guys take care of the search engine stuff. But seeing the difference in the website, we know it’s working. We know the pages and the content on the back end is working. This is what someone’s saying. Someone’s saying, all right, come on, let’s be real.

(Speaker 1)
You’re paying this guy, you’re paying Clay’s team, you’re paying the Thrive Time Show $1 ,700 a month, $1 ,700 per month, $1 ,700 per month. And we know it’s month to month, you claim, and we know that it’s less money than it would be to hire a minimum wage employee. But how could you describe the return on investment? Or how could you describe the value you’re getting? How would you say to Sean, anybody out there who says, how would you describe the value or the return on investment that you’re experiencing as a newer Thrive Time Show business coaching client? You gotta take the step.

(Speaker 1)
You gotta step out there and experience it for yourself.

(Speaker 2)
That’s $1 ,700, it’s nothing.

(Speaker 1)
I mean, that’s a no -brainer deal, to be honest with you, Clay. I mean, the $1 ,700 that we pay from the coaching that I’ve got, the system implementation, things that work from group interviewing and getting the right people on our team, you can’t put a price on it. You just really can’t. I know what we paid for our website before, we’re paying less now that’s Give my number you call me and I’ll tell you you’re making the right decision now. You came to our workshop And when you came to the workshop, it was so great to have you come to this most recent workshop.

(Speaker 1)
Eric Trump was there. We often have Tim Tebow at our conferences and Eric Trump. And you’re at the conference, and I just can’t tell you how encouraging your words were for the attendees. I ran into probably, let’s say, a half dozen people that came up to me personally and said, thank you for bringing up Mr. San Diego, Captain San Diego.

(Speaker 2)
People would say, thanks for bringing that bug guy up there. Thanks for bringing that pest control guy up there. Thanks for bringing that guy. actually really encouraged me. How would you describe the in -person two -day interactive business workshops?

(Speaker 13)
They encouraged me the same. I had people tell me the same thing.

(Speaker 2)
I’d be in line getting a coffee, and people say, hey, you really encouraged me. Does this stuff really work? I said, I’m telling you, give it a shot. Do it. It worked.

(Speaker 1)
But just being around other successful people and businesses, you can’t put a price on that. Just being able to to interact with these people. There’s good people there and there’s a lot of people that have done it and they’re successful. And to mingle with that, to touch shoulders with people like that, it’s, you just, again, you just can’t, you can’t describe it. It’s, there’s so much you get out of it. Somebody is starting to not believe what you’re saying, because it’s too good.

(Speaker 1)
What’s your first and last name one more time?

(Speaker 34)
Someone’s going to look you up real quick.

(Speaker 2)
They’re going to look up your website. Is this guy real?

(Speaker 16)
One more time.

(Speaker 1)
What’s your first and last name, and what’s the name of your website? Someone’s looking you up right now. It’s Sean McGough. It’s suncoastpestmanagementca . com. All right, again, folks, not a hologram, not a male model.

(Speaker 1)
He could be, but he’s not. So we continue. Box number seven, you’ve got to create a sales conversion system.

(Speaker 33)
The sales scripts you touched on earlier, call recording, one sheets, pre -written emails, lead trackers.

(Speaker 2)
Every time I’ve worked with a client, every single time I work with a client, and they install call scripts and call recording, the moment they put in call recording, call scripts, and tracking, a series of very uncomfortable epiphanies occurs when people recognize how much money is being repelled by dysfunctional phone answering services, dysfunctional phone answering people, poorly written scripts, not tracking. What kind of epiphanies did you have the moment you started installing call tracking, call scripts, recording? What kind of epiphanies did you discover? Oh, my goodness. It was sad.

(Speaker 2)
It was sad. As it is, I’m a person that I just don’t have very much patience. And a lot of us don’t. And as entrepreneurs, we want to get things done and move on. And there’s so, I mean, there’s 300 and some pest control companies in San Diego. It’s not hard to find somebody else.

(Speaker 2)
You don’t have time to be waiting two minutes to try to go through all this process of getting to someone and moving around. It was so bad. And I just won’t forget, Sean’s like, hey, have you listened to your calls yet? And my business coach and I said, no, I haven’t. Because Haibu, well, it was a website that we had before. They had where you could hear some calls, but they would come through a tracker.

(Speaker 2)
And so we didn’t hear all calls. Now we’re with Clarity Voice. So we hear all calls. But just he said, are you listening to him? And I said, no, I haven’t. He goes, it’s painful.

(Speaker 2)
And that’s the that’s the honesty I love. I want to hear that. And so I took that night and listened to the calls. I said, oh, my goodness, why would anybody want to book with this? So Yeah, it was.

(Speaker 1)
It definitely was a wake -up call to see and know. And now we got scripts in place and we’ve coached and taught that. We listen to the calls and we’re teaching the people. And we’re only three months, Clay. I can’t wait to tell you what it looks like in another three months and in a year. I just couldn’t be more excited for you and for the people out there that are meeting you at the conferences because you’re encouraging so many people.

(Speaker 1)
And it really is contagious. Success is contagious. So is poverty, by the way. If you’ve ever grown up poor, poverty is contagious. I encourage everybody out there to run from poverty, to fight poverty, to become an enemy of average. Box number eight, feeling great.

(Speaker 1)
Determine sustainable customer acquisition costs. You have to know how much money does it cost you. How much money does it cost you to acquire a new customer? As an example, if you’re paying my team $1 ,700 a month and you’re saying you’ve almost doubled your amount of leads, you can track it and go, OK, this is how much I’m paying. This is what kind of lead flow I’m seeing.

(Speaker 2)
You need to know that number. You need to know how much does it cost you to acquire a new customer. Sean, Dr. Zellner has an entire podcast he’s recorded with me about this idea. And it’s so important to know how much money it costs you to acquire a new customer. Why is that empowering for you to know how much it costs you to gain one new customer? That goes back to the breaking even number.

(Speaker 2)
Us knowing that has really helped us even to look at our pricing and where we’re at with the rates and our guys and going out there and and managing that, because we know that now. We know exactly on the dollar what we need to make and what it’s going to cost us, $0 .38 per dollar. I can tell you, I didn’t know that before.

(Speaker 1)
But that’s what it takes us. It takes us $38 on $100. And so now we know what we need to do. That’s our conversion for our customers in order to make profit on the hour. That’s what we need to make. Folks, this is real stuff.

(Speaker 1)
This is real stuff. This is the stuff behind the stuff. This is how you grow a successful company. Beyond the motivation, folks, this is the activation that’s required. Box number eight. I mean, after you’re motivated, that’s great.

(Speaker 1)
After you’re caffeinated, that’s exciting. But what you have to do is you have to implement these systems. So box number nine, you’ve got to create repeatable systems and processes and checklists. So that way, you can scale your business. You’ve got to work on the business, not just in your business. Could you talk about how important it has been to begin to really take the time away from actually killing bugs, working in the business, and to focus on killing repetitive issues by building checklists, processes, workflows?

(Speaker 1)
Could you talk about the impact that that kind of thing has made on your business? Oh yeah it’s been it’s been unbelievable even just like we implemented a system for both backing up, we do group interviews now, once a week, and we were not doing that. So I would waste time. And we all know you sit down with somebody, you know, within the first 10 seconds, like this guy or lady isn’t the right fit. They’re not going to fit my team.

(Speaker 1)
And now I got to feel like I’m almost obligated to waste more time. And so, so that our group interviews, we get it out there. We do it every Wednesday. And at first it was like, well, we didn’t need anybody. So what are we doing? But we realized that that bringing these people in we started it had to be a hell yeah we had to know we had the right people and so when we got this we just hired four people and I’m telling you that the rest of the team, it’s almost like I got to step up or get out because the culture is changing, but we’ve implemented systems now.

(Speaker 1)
where we have simple checklists, we have the management checklist when they’re out in the field coaching the team. We’ve got performance -based pay now systems that we’ve put in place, but we’ve structured the phone calls that were coming in. So we just put all these different things in place that are simple. We like simple. Simple is easy. We don’t want to complicate it.

(Speaker 1)
So we put one -page systems in place to help everyone. Final two questions I have for you with the limited time we have. Again, folks, for anybody out there, if you want to know these systems, this is what we do. We do a free 13 -point assessment. And then if you want to become a client, our average client is with us for years and years. But what we do is we guide you down this proven path on a month -to -month basis.

(Speaker 1)
So box number 10, we’re going to teach you how to manage people effectively. You have to create effective management systems. Box number 11, you have to create a repetitive weekly schedule, kind of a theme, an anthem, a routine, a tradition, a way in which you work. the staff meetings are going to be, and how you follow up, and how you name things, the nomenclature, the language, the common culture, all that matters. Box 12, create human resources systems. It’s all about hiring, inspiring, training, and retaining.

(Speaker 1)
How do you do that? Hiring, inspiring, training, and retaining. We have entire shows dedicated to that. We’ll help you through every aspect of your company. And then box 13, it’s all about accounting, all right?

(Speaker 1)
It’s not about how much money you make. It’s about how much money you keep. I repeat, it’s not about how much money you make. It’s about how much money you keep. And we do work on that as well, box 13. You might say, well, what’s the point of growing a successful company?

(Speaker 1)
The point of growing a successful company is so you can do what you believe God has called you to do. And so then you have the financial freedom to pursue goals for your faith and your family. and your finances, and your fitness, and your friendship, and your fun, and all those things cost money. So again, with a little bit of money, you have the money available to pursue your goals, your faith, your family, your finance, your fitness, your friendship, and your fun. Final two questions I have for you, Sean. One, for anybody out there watching this show right now, they’re thinking about going to thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 1)
com. They’re thinking about scheduling a 13 -point assessment.

(Speaker 2)
They’re thinking about coming to an in -person workshop. They’re on the fence. They say, I know I can pay $250 or whatever price I want to pay for a conference ticket. I know that I get a free consultation, a free therapy. 13 point assessment, but I don’t know. What do you say to him, Sean?

(Speaker 2)
What are you waiting for? We literally have our conversion, our percent conversion has gone up on our lead conversions. We were only converting 38%. We’re converting almost 70 % now of our leads. And it’s all proven systems that are in place. I’m telling you, it doesn’t make any sense not to do it.

(Speaker 2)
You’re investing in your business and the $1 ,700 is fair in all honesty to what we’re getting as a result in value. in return. So it’s, it’s, it really is plan. I know you didn’t put me up to that, but what are we waiting for? What are you waiting for? Make the call, fix it, get it done.

(Speaker 2)
It works. They’re proven systems.

(Speaker 1)
They work excitement. My voice play. It’s just, I can’t tell you. I’ve never, I’ve never experienced anything like this. It’s just, it’s, it’s, it’s like, it’s like unreal. You can’t fathom.

(Speaker 1)
You got to get out there and do it and feel it for yourself. Well, the final question I have for you is, I designed Thrivetimeshow . com to be for me. I designed what I do. I designed the business coaching services that I’ve done for 20 years for myself. Because I had companies, and I thought, man, if, because people kept telling me, Clay, your businesses are rocking and rolling. Could you help me grow my company?

(Speaker 1)
They said, man, your company, djconnection . com, it’s rocking. Man, your company, Epic Photos, is rocking. Man, your party rental company, Party Perfect, it is rocking. Man, that dentistry you work with, that thing is rocking. Man, the businesses that you touch are working.

(Speaker 1)
You guys have the Midas touch over there.

(Speaker 2)
Could you help me?

(Speaker 1)
And I always would tell people, well, I’d like to, but you’re going to need a photographer, videographer, web developer, search engine team, a coach, an implementer, someone to follow up. You’re going to need to have a conference you come to to stay supercharged. You’re going to need to have best practice systems for everything. And there wasn’t anything out there like it. What’s it like knowing that you have a flat monthly rate that you’re paying and you get all that support included with the program? Again, now my business is rocking, let’s just say that.

(Speaker 1)
I’ve watched it, I’ve seen and I’ve heard in these meetings and the conference, other people talking about their business and the success and seeing it and feeling it for myself now, it’s just, it’s incredible. Sean, thank you so much for your time. I really do appreciate you. I encourage everyone to check out that website. Let’s bring some clarity to that website again here. I’m going to pull up one more time.

(Speaker 1)
Everybody out there, if you enjoyed this show, maybe you said, this show, Clay, I liked the guest, but I didn’t like you.

(Speaker 2)
And that’s fine.

(Speaker 19)
But I would encourage you to check out suncoastpestmanagementca .

(Speaker 32)
com.

(Speaker 3)
I’ll put a link on the show notes so you can get there easily. And again, folks, we really do appreciate you taking time to enjoy today’s show. And Sean, thank you so much for encouraging our listeners. And we’ll talk to you soon. Oh, thanks for having me, Clay. Good time.

(Speaker 3)
Appreciate it. Take care. Bye -bye. My name is Kevin Thomas and the name of our company is Multi -Clean.

(Speaker 14)
We are a commercial janitorial service and we serve the entire state of Oklahoma and Kansas and the state of Missouri.

(Speaker 31)
Arkansas.

(Speaker 7)
We have probably grown probably five times. We’ve added, I think when we first started with you, we had 60 to 65 employees and now we have a little over 300 employees. Before we got involved with Thrive Time, we didn’t really have any systems or processes in place. I’ve probably been to Oh, in six, seven years, I’ve probably been to 12 to 13 business conferences.

(Speaker 4)
And amazingly, each time I go, I learn something new.

(Speaker 31)
And I’m so excited to bring it back and show the team about marketing and how to implement.

(Speaker 30)
Clay Clark is here somewhere.

(Speaker 7)
Where’s my buddy Clay? Clay’s the greatest.

(Speaker 22)
I met his goats today.

(Speaker 1)
I met his dogs. I met his chickens. I saw his compound. He’s like the greatest guy. I ran from his goats, his chickens, his dogs. So this guy’s like the greatest marketer you’ve ever seen, right?

(Speaker 1)
His entire life, Clay Clark, his entire life is marketing. Santa Claus? No, we will not be joined by Santa Claus, but we will be joined by Eric Trump, the son of the 45th and now 47th president of these United States. And yes, Amanda Grace will be in the place. And yes, Dr. Stella Manuel will be there, so you know it will go well. Yes, we have Mel Kaye in the house.

How do you get tickets?

(Speaker 1)
The Trump Organization, again, most people don’t know this, but the Trump Organization has thousands of employees. And while Donald J. Trump was the 45th president of these United States, and this just in from our home office, President Donald J. Trump is now the 47th president of these United States as well. I’m Ron Burgundy. he needed someone to run the companies for him and so the man that runs the trump organization for donald j trump as he was the 45th president of the united states and now the 47th president of the united states is eric trump eric trump is here to talk about time management Promoting from within, marketing, branding, quality control, sales systems, workflow design, workflow mapping, how to build. I mean, everything that you see, the Trump hotels, the Trump golf courses, all their products, the man who manages them. Billions of dollars of real estate and thousands of employees is here to teach us how to do it.

(Speaker 28)
You are talking about one of the greatest brands on the planet from a business standpoint.

(Speaker 26)
I mean, who else has been able to create a brand like the Trump brand?

(Speaker 27)
I mean, look at it.

(Speaker 22)
And this is the man behind the business for the last pretty much since 2015. He’s been the man behind it.

(Speaker 26)
So you’re talking, we’re into nine going into 10 years of him running it.

(Speaker 1)
And we get to tap into that knowledge. That’s going to be amazing. Now think about this for a second. Nothing is over until it’s over. decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

(Speaker 1)
Germans? Forget it, he’s rolling. And it ain’t over now! The lineup continues to grow, and this is how we do our tickets here at the Thrive Time Show. If you want to get a VIP ticket, you can absolutely do it. It’s $500 for a VIP ticket.

(Speaker 25)
We’ve always done it that way.

(Speaker 1)
Now, if you want to take a general admission ticket, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. And the reason why I do that and the reason why we do that is because we want to make our events affordable for everybody. I grew up without money. I totally understand what it’s like to be in a tight spot. So if you want to attend, it’s $250 or whatever price you want to pay. That’s how I do it.

(Speaker 1)

(Speaker 1)
I know we have a lot of Spanish -speaking people that attend these conferences. And so to be bilingually sensitive, my cell phone number is 918 -851 -0102. Zero tip.

(Speaker 22)
That is not actually bilingual.

(Speaker 1)
That’s just saying one for a one. It’s not the same thing. I think you’re attacking me. Now, let’s talk about this. Now, what kind of stuff will you learn at the Thrive Time Show workshop? So, Aaron, you’ve been to many of these over the past seven, eight years.

(Speaker 1)
So let’s talk about it. I’ll tee up the thing and then you tell me what you’re going to learn here. OK? OK. You’re going to learn marketing, marketing and branding. What are we going to learn about marketing and branding?

(Speaker 1)
Oh, yeah. We’re going to dive into, you know, so many people say oh, you know, I got to get my brand known out there like the Trump brand. You want to get that brand out there. It’s like, how do I actually make people know what my business is and make it a household name? You’re going to learn some intricacies of how you can do that.

(Speaker 1)
You’re going to learn sales. So many people struggle to sell something. This just in, your business will go to hell if you can’t sell. So we’re going to teach you sales. We’re going to teach you search engine Optimization, how to come up top in the search engine results. We’re going to teach you how to manage people.

(Speaker 1)
Aaron, you have managed, no exaggeration, hundreds of people throughout your career and thousands of contractors. And most people struggle with managing people. Why does everybody have to learn how to manage people? Well, because first of all, people are, you either have great people or you have people who suck. So it could be a challenge, you know, learning how to work with a large group of people and get everybody pulling in the same direction can be a challenge. But if you have the right systems, you have the right processes, and you’re really good at selecting great ones.

(Speaker 1)
And we have a process we teach about how to find great people. When you start with the people who have a great attitude, they’re teachable, they’re driven, all of those things, then you can get those people all pulling in the same direction. So we’re going to teach you branding, marketing, sales, search engine optimization. We’re going to teach you accounting. We’re going to teach you personal finance, how to manage your finance. We’re going to teach you How do you manage your time?

(Speaker 1)
How do you get more done during a typical day? How do you build an organization if you’re not organized? How do you do organization? How do you build an org chart? Everything that you need to know to start and grow a business will be taught during this two -day interactive business workshop. Now, let me tell you how the format is set up here.

(Speaker 1)
And again, folks, this is a two -day interactive 15. Think about this, folks. It’s two days. Each day, it starts at 7 AM, and it goes until 5 PM. So m.

(Speaker 1)
So from 7 a . m. to 5 p . m. , two days. It’s a two -day interactive workshop.

(Speaker 22)
The way we do it is we do a 30 -minute teaching session, and then we break for 15 minutes for a question -and -answer session.

(Speaker 1)
So, Aaron, what kind of great stuff happens during that 15 -minute question -and -answer session after every teaching session? I actually think it’s the best part about the workshops because here’s what happens. I’ve been to lots of these things over the years. I’ve paid many thousands of dollars to go to them. And you go in there and they talk in vague generalities and they’re constantly upselling you for something trying to get you to buy this thing or that thing or this program or this membership.

(Speaker 22)
And you don’t, you leave not getting your very specific questions answered about your business or your employees or what you’re doing on your marketing.

(Speaker 1)
And what’s awesome about this is we literally answer every single question that any person asks.

(Speaker 21)
And it’s very specific to what your business is.

(Speaker 1)
And what we do is we allow you as the attendee to write your questions on the whiteboard. And then we literally, as you mentioned, we answer every single question on the whiteboard. And then we take a 15 minute break to stretch and to make it entertaining when you’re stretching. That’s a true story. When you get up and stretch, you’ll be greeted by mariachis. There’s going to probably be alpaca here, llamas, helicopter rides, a coffee bar, a snow cone.

(Speaker 1)
You had a crocodile one time. That was pretty interesting. I should write that down. Sorry for that one guy that we lost. The crocodile, we duct taped its face so that, right? We duct taped it.

(Speaker 1)
It was a baby crocodile. And we duct taped. Yeah, duct taped around the mouth so it didn’t bite anybody. But it was really cool bouncing that thing around. I should do that. that identify as being self -employed.

(Speaker 1)
So if you have a country with 350 million people, that means you have less than 3 % of our population that’s even self -employed. So you only have 3 out of every 100 people in America that are self -employed to begin with. And when Inc. Magazine reports that 96 % of businesses fail by default, By default, you have a 1 out of 1 ,000 chance of succeeding in the game of business. But yet, the average client that you and I work with, we can typically double this. No hyperbole, no exaggeration.

(Speaker 20)
And I have thousands of testimonials to back this up. We have thousands of testimonials to back it up.

(Speaker 1)
But when you work with a home builder, when I work with a business owner, we can typically double the size of the company within 24 months. And you say, double? Yeah, there’s businesses that we have tripled. There’s businesses we’ve grown 8x. There’s so many examples you can see. see it thrivetimeshow .

(Speaker 1)
com. But again, this is the most interactive best business workshop on the planet. This is objectively the highest rated and most reviewed business workshop on the planet. Add to that Eric Trump, the man that runs the Trump organization. You say, Clay, I still I’m not going to get a ticket unless you give me more. OK, fine.

(Speaker 1)
We’re going to serve you the same meal both days. True story. We have we cater in the food and because I keep it simple. I literally bring in the same food both days for lunch. Who’s with me?

(Speaker 19)
Let’s go!

(Speaker 1)
It’s an incredible Mexican restaurant. That’s going to happen. Someone says, I want more. This is not enough. Give me more.

(Speaker 2)
OK. I’m not going to mention their names right now because I’m working on it behind the scenes here.

(Speaker 18)
But we just continue to add more and more success stories.
