The mindset to get new customers (ft. Meredith Arlinghaus)

What if the real growth problem isn’t persuasion at all? In this interview with Meredith Arlinghaus, Craig Shoemaker Jon Brosio work to help untangle a dilemma that Meredith didn't see coming. As the conversation unfolds confidence and client fit start to collide. Watch as Craig quietly flips the frame, questioning why we often default to “convincing” prospects instead of understanding what already moved them to act. A simple post-mortem question reveals more than most funnels ever do, and it exposes why so much messaging attracts the wrong people. Jon adds a tactical layer, pointing out why most buyers are already decided long before a call and how subtle framing shifts change who leans in versus who opts out. Together, they connect ICP clarity, messaging discipline, and a counterintuitive growth decision many founders rush into too early.

The most _____ offer wins. (ft. Pedro Martins)

➡️ Learn to grow faster: https://tgq.tools/signup [https://tgq.tools/signup] Why do some entrepreneurs with world-class offers still struggle to sell, while others with simpler ideas scale into the millions? According to Pedro Martins, the sales and positioning strategist behind names like Robin Sharma, Jay Shetty, Chris Voss, and Cody Sanchez, the answer isn’t the value of the offer. In this episode of The Growth Question, Pedro breaks down the real reason positioning is hard and the two questions every high-ticket buyer is silently asking before they say yes. This conversation will fundamentally shift how you think about marketing, messaging, and the psychology of premium sales. Pedro has generated over nine figures in sales working behind the scenes with beloved brands and global companies including Coca-Cola and Microsoft, helping them turn attention into revenue by solving one of the most expensive problems in business: being misunderstood. In this episode, you’ll learn: 🔹 Why positioning fails when it becomes about you instead of the problem you solve 🔹Why understanding your buyer’s internal narrative matters more than demographics 🔹The difference between a niche and a symptom (and why most creators pick the wrong one) 🔹 The two questions every high-ticket buyer needs answered: 🔹 How to conduct sales conversations that create inbound demand (not pressure) 🔹The real meaning of tension in messaging (and why releasing it too soon kills conversions) About Pedro 🔹Stand Out or Fade Away book https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Out-Fade-Away-Irresistible/dp/B0FRXS677K/ [https://www.amazon.com/Stand-Out-Fade-Away-Irresistible/dp/B0FRXS677K/] 🔹Website http://ppmartins.com/positioning [http://ppmartins.com/positioning] 🔹Instagram/X: @pedroswindfalls

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
