January 14, 2020

JV Crum, III, JD, MBA, MS Psy is a serial entrepreneur, roll-up-the-sleeves doer, who leads from the front. He is a bestselling author, speaker, coach, visionary strategist and media guest. (I like that last gig best!) He is the founder of Conscious Millionaire, LLC and his story can help you reach your sales and business goals.

Greatest Sales Success

  • At age 23 he turned his dad’s trucking company around and made it into a 6-figure profit his first year. Created their first 6-figure profit in a month within three years and sold the business 18 years later for a huge profit.

Rubber-Meets-The-Road Tip

  • Master the follow-up.

    • Send hand-written thank you cards.

    • Have child-like faith.

    • Dream big.

  • At the end of every day, review what went right, what went wrong and work on that the next day.

  • Include boundaries for your clients, vendors and employees. It’s okay to be nice. It’s also okay to expect to get paid for your efforts.

  • You need to really decide who you want as your client. (Choose who to lose.)

    • This applies to your staff as well.

    • Pay more and get better people.

  • Conscious Focused Action. Most people think Action is the most important but JV says the Conscious piece is the most important.

  • Success is not complicated.

    • You need to be disciplined.

    • Get a one year plan in place in 7 days.

    • Go ask the market what they want to hear.

    • Survey them. (Keep them short – no more than 5 questions.)

  • Rapid Iteration is the fastest way to success.

  • Get started. (Funny how we hear that on every interview, isn’t it?!!)

  • Grow your business by making a difference.

  • Take responsibility for growth and improving the world.

  • Overcome the Scarcity mindsets.

    • Work on your belief system.

    • Find that negative belief and pull it out by the roots!

  • Ask “how can I serve?”

  • Just be nice.
