How powerful is word of mouth in business? As it turns out, word of mouth influences 90% of all purchases. The only real issue with this is the fact that most business owners don’t have a tangible strategy in motion to leverage customer conversations in a way that will help them to get more customers…for free!

So, I thought who better to talk about all this than the guy (or one of the guys) who wrote an entire book on the subject. Who is this mystery guest of mine, you might ask? Well, it’s none other than Jay Baer, a good friend of mine and somewhat of a regular on the show.

In this podcast episode, we talk about how entrepreneurs can use something he likes to call, ‘talk triggers’ to help attract more customers using the power and influence of word of mouth. As you can expect, Jay reveals tons of value bombs throughout the episode. So, find somewhere comfy where you can listen in, take notes and start thinking about your own ‘talk triggers’ that will help grow your business.
