Written by on May 2, 2019 / Inside BS Podcast

The Do This Sell More Show began as a weekly interview between Dave Lorenzo and a special guest. In this show Dave’s guest is Steven Sashen.

In this episode, Dave and Steven discuss:

  • The Shark Tank Experience.
  • Why Xero Shoe is a movement.
  • Building a community.
  • The reality of the guarantee.
     

Key Takeaways and actionable tips:

  • Create your product to support the purpose.
  • Build your marketing based on the customer lifecycle.
  • A guarantee isn’t dangerous if you have a good product.
  • Just be a nice person. Don’t let the anonymity of the internet change the way you interact with humans as a human being.
