Using Systems To Build And Maintain Strong Relationships // Charles Byrd // EP 353

When we look at giving reasons to connect, having a podcast is a beautiful one. If you don’t have a show, you can interview people informally and share it with your audience via Facebook live or on YouTube. It’s a great way to get more eyeballs on them and their message and a way to connect and build that rapport.

Charles Byrd has done over 70 interviews and never had anyone decline being interviewed. Everyone can cultivate a small community in a Facebook group and it can snowball from there. Charles calls that a social joint venture, and there’s a lot of understanding now that it’s not all about the size of the list, but if there’s attention in that space, you can get people to chat with more easily and create space for that to happen.

We have Charles Byrd on the show today who was introduced to us as the “best connector” out there. He’s creating the most profitable JV partnerships with his systematic way of connecting others.

What’s really cool about this is we are all surrounded by opportunities, and many are not always super obvious. That’s the power of having a system, and in this case, you can set that up in your life by connecting with people who have systemic follow-ups which can turn into a potential revenue source, affiliate partners, or just for connecting sake.

Charles is going to dive into all the systems he lives by, some awesome hacks in regards to following up with your contacts and JV partners, the shifts to a never-ending flow of clients, and how to not only be great at relationships but guide them to a positive conclusion for everyone.

“It’s simply paying attention to who people are, what their magic gift to the world is, what are they into, where do they live and that gives you all these little entry points to provide value to them.” - Charles Byrd

About Hustle and Flowchart:

Joe Fier & Matt Wolfe are the co-founders of Evergreen Profits and absolutely LOVE showing people how simple it really is to get seen online in competitive industries. They get pumped up to share their system of driving targeted traffic that turns into leads and sales to business owners who want to scale (but have failed in the past). They aren't an agency (they're pretty much the anti-agency).

They started in business together 13 years ago and haven't stopped learning, testing, and scaling since.

They also started their podcasting career in 2010 and it's been their passion ever since. Now they have a fast growing digital marketing podcast called Hustle and Flowchart. It gives listeners an opportunity to learn uncommon ways to live and work that allow for a happier and more profitable life.

Today, Matt & Joe focus on growing their show, putting a ton of free value into the world, and investing and advising in digital businesses and podcasts.
