Some other news, I interviewed Nick Loper

today, from the Side Hustle Nation.com –

We talked about boosting your business

profile, how to grow your business and if

you want to ditch your 9-5 JOB and make

your side hustle into a full time hustle. Nick

is going to be on John Lee Dumas’s show,

Entrepreneur on Fire, May 11, so I will

release today’s interview about that same

time. Meanwhile, check out Nick and his

podcast at SideHustleNation.com 

Last Episode of the Waterless Pro Zone, we talked to Steve Wolshin “aka

Duke” from the beautiful island of Kauai and this episode we are talking to

Rick Horvath from Toledo, Ohio.

Rick is a long time waterless car wash enthusiasts and fellow auto

detailer and car cleaning business owner. I am looking forward to presenting

you his interview in just a moment. 

Today’s short list of Marketing Tactics, Tech Tools, Books and Podcasts that I

recommend taking a look at. 

Reading books and listening to stories about successful people is powerful

and using the latest marketing tools and tactics in your business can really

help as well. All of this can help you become more successful in your

business and everything else you do. 

Now on to our first topic:

1. Marketing Tactic: Demonstrations – Do you want to get people to buy your

products or service? Do demonstrations. Perhaps you have heard me rant

about the 4 steps of selling waterless car wash products. DEMO, DEMO,

DEMO and refer back to steps 1,2 & 3. Get out there, demo to everyone that

will allow you to. If you have a service business, demo your service too. Show

people on their fender, but ask them first. Spray on, rub in and wipe off! Leave

the fender and one spot on the window clean. Let them know where to get the

rest of it cleaned and detailed by giving them your card. Maybe the card has a

discount on it. – The point is to meet people and give them a demonstration.

At the park, at the beach, at the shop or in your garage. Don’t be a psycho

about it, just but be professional, be brief and ask for the sale afterwards.

2. The Book of the week – Platform – Michael Hyatt from MichaelHyatt.com 

Michael has a great website and awesome podcast, but his book is all about

building your platform. You see, in the real old days, if you wanted to tell

people something important, you stood on something tall and solid and told

people about it. Today, you use technology to get your point across. What

platform are you using? Facebook, YouTube, Instagram? In the book,

Michael goes over each platform in detail and covers why it is important to

build yours, and the rules behind each. 

Head on over to WaterlessPro.com/audio to find the link to this book. Thanks

3. Technology –  Linkedin – Linkedin is a business-centered social media

platform. If you are in business, you need a Linkedin Account. You can

network with people from around the world, in different professions and

even different languages. People have all kinds of different interests levels

and skills. Linkedin brings all of this together on one platform, but it is based

around business and professional interests. Be sure to build yourself a

linked in professional page to feature your business too. Good luck. 

4. Podcast of the week. Since we have already talked about Michael Hyatt, let’s

showcase his podcast. A double whammy for Michael. He a very wise man and

someone to truly respect. His podcast hits home in many ways. When he

speaks to you from the podcast, it is like he is talking to you. He covers

everyday business topics and other things you would normally go over with a

business coach. Check him out at MichaelHyatt.com and listen to the podcast
