SHOW NOTES HIGHLIGHTS TIDAL builds top-of-funnel processes for companies How to perform cold calls, pitching, and podcasting today Founders' points of view on profitability, hiring, and transparency Steve's growth from salesperson to founder QUOTES Steven: "The one thing you can do consistently no matter what the economic climate is is deliver value to those people who are and aren't customers, and your customers will listen to your podcast because they like you." Jeff: "Where transparency works is letting people celebrate the wins, even the ones that maybe aren't part of their job, keeping them up-to-date on the why. Maybe this is it, it's letting people understand the why of a decision. That's where a lot of transparency I think is really effective." Steven: "You know who I'm going to probably buy from? Someone with a hundred thousand followers who people are continuing not just saying wow, that's interesting, but I applied this and it worked and you gave it to me for free. Because now I'm creating trust, because if I'm willing to give you something for free and you gained something from it, you're going to trust me tenfold." Steven: "Everybody down to the person at the front desk should have clear, identifiable, measurable goals. At the end of the month, they're held accountable. Finance, receptionist, I mean, go down the list because you have to measure it and you have to reward it because otherwise that PNL just looks like a bunch of money."
