235: The Complete Guide to Creating Customers with Word of Mouth

With Talk Trigger authors Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin

Today marks the return of a two-time guest and the appearance of a first-time guest, all in one show!

One of my favorite authors, Jay Baer, is here, and he’s brought with him his co-author Daniel Lemin.

Jay Baer and Daniel Lemin

Their new book, out today, is called Talk Triggers: The Complete Guide to Creating Customers with Word of Mouth.

For as long as you or I can remember, word of mouth has been a fantastically effective way to create customers, yet almost no business has an actual strategy to ignite conversations.

Talk Triggers gives you the practical framework you need to turn customers into volunteer marketers.

Listen in below as Jay, Daniel and I discuss their new book.

In today’s episode, I ask Jay and Daniel to share:

  • Why word of mouth is something you need to be and can be intentional about
  • The difference between being better and being different, and why different is better than better
  • I’ll ask them to unpack their Talk Trigger formula
  • …and plenty more!
