John witnessed this firsthand and came up with the marketing approach of the Giving Model. Through this method, he addresses the barriers stopping the audience from accessing valuable resources offered by his clients and finds a way to bridge that gap for them. Making sales through this marketing strategy can make companies gain more profit. By giving more value and sharing gifts with their audience, their clients obtain advocates who will do the marketing for them — telling others about their wonderful experiences and the transformation they were exposed to. Key points from this episode:How did the idea of giving start?Coming from a place of giving can spark a new and interested audienceMaking sales through the foundation of givingHow does this marketing approach affect the profits?The importance of assessing applicants for the Giving ModelCan this marketing approach get speakers and trainers additional clients? About John Abbott: John Abbott, best-selling author and creator of The Giving Model, shows people how to build GIVING into their business.
