4. 1 NO SUGAR COATING.NO SUGAR COATING.
I’ve interviewed 100+ of Ramit Sethi’s
students. A big reason why they buy
his courses is they see Ramit as a guy
that tells it like it is. And Ramit has told
me himself this isn’t some sort of show
he puts on. That’s what I try to do. I try
to talk like myself and be myself.

In “To Sell is Human” Daniel Pink writes
about information asymmetry … the old
“buyer beware” world where the salesman
knew more than the buyer. But today we are
much closer to “seller beware,” which he
calls information parity. The old “secret”
information is now there for the world to see,
and because of technology it’s getting easier
to spot the fakes a mile away. But this is
good for you and your audience, because
honesty prevails in the end.

Brands that resonate with us do so because they are able to communicate their
brand effectively. Many businesses have very good products or services yet don’t
experience the type of success they are trying to achieve because they do not
know how to effectively communicate their brand message to people. It doesn’t
matter how much value you offer, how innovative your product is or how
amazing you are at what you do, if you cannot communicate it to your audience.
