Nate Tilley explains how to become someone's go-to provider by building specialist skills and solving real problems for local business owners. Focus on solutions that save time, save money, or make money. Referrals and word-of-mouth drive growth in service businesses.
Everybody needs a guy for something and you can become that guy. How do we become that guy? Well, I became that guy in advertising because I did a really good job at advertising for one of my clients. Now whenever his friends that are also business owners ask him, hey, who's your guy for advertising? He says, I've got a guy for advertising. And then that's how I get referrals. You can be somebody's guy for construction, you can be somebody's guy for working out. You could be somebody's guy for photography. You can be somebody's guy for anything that you want to dedicate and learn the skills for. So if you're young, if you're under 25 right now, guys, just build your skills so that you can become somebody's guy one day and then everything else is just going to play out. Okay? This is how I've gotten hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of business, through referrals and word of mouth, simply by just being someone's guy. Find someone close to you in your local network or somebody that you know that owns a business. See what problems they're having, see what solutions you can offer. And your solution should either save them time, save them money, or make them money and save them a headache, right? So find solutions for problems and solve them. You will become their guy and then you can find other guys like them and then you will have a business. This is how service based businesses work. Click the link below. Check out my YouTube channel.
