85. Investing in the Business Means Investing in Each Team Member

Marketing expert Wayne Mullins discusses the best leverage move you can make when investing back into the company: your team. Wayne’s team is made almost entirely of people who fit into the “great resignation” era–those with a reputation for being lazy, obsessed with social media, and a poor work ethic. Yet, Wayne’s team has been active in their positions for six to eight years. As he will explain, it’s not about the cool snack bar or workout rooms but the culture that you foster every day. In this episode of The Prosperity Perspective, listen alongside host Liam Leonard as our guest elaborates on the two ways to invest back into your people and make an impact: 1) Genuinely care for them and make the choice that will benefit THEM, not the company, and 2) Find ways to help each individual become a better version of themselves. Reap the reward of watching people lean into who they can become and prove your values, because as Wayne will explain, “Your values aren’t your values until they cost you something.” 3 Key TakeawaysYour team is your biggest leverage that you can use in your company; invest in them by connecting on an individual basis and watch them elevate the business.Your values can’t truly be proven until the moment they will cost you something. Don’t hesitate to put the rubber to the road and act on those values you set beforehand for the business. When you reach the sales call, your job should be all but done. Make your marketing do the work for you so that the customer is already sold. ResourcesWebsite: uglymugmarketing.comFacebookInstagramLinkedInAbout Wayne MullinsWayne is a husband, father of 4, founder, CEO, entrepreneur and author.
