Episode Summary
In this episode, Scott Austin discusses strategies for maximizing business gains from participating in various events such as industry trade shows, local community events, pop-up shops, workshops, and more. He emphasizes the importance of not just selling but also using these opportunities to better understand customers and collect email addresses. Austin suggests that rather than primarily talking about the brand and products, engaging in listening and asking questions can provide valuable insights into product-market fit. He provides a list of questions aimed at deepening understanding of customer needs and preferences. Additionally, he explains the psychological advantages of an "Enter to Win" campaign over discount offers for collecting email addresses, highlighting how excitement, anticipation, and the perception of winning a valuable prize can significantly increase participation and engagement.
