Welcome back to Shark Bites!
Summer is in full swing and I know things are busy around the Gaddis household.
Which is great!

Because there will always be time for fun. But when fun calls, you definitely want to be free to answer.
To help you get more done so you can have more time for fun, let’s dive in…

Well well well… YouTube is testing new AI features. Who could’ve predicted that?
Wait! We could’ve predicted that’s who. As we’ve said, when it comes to AI, the writing is on the wall. If you’d like to see what YouTube is testing, read this article here:

How To Suck At Prospecting And Still Make Sales
I think one of the great myths online “gurus” have made up is that you have to be great at sales to make a lot of sales.
But it's really not true.
In fact, neither Nick and I were great salespeople when we started out. And even today, I don't think we're anything special in that department.
We just know how to talk to business owners.
We know what their problems are.
And we know how to solve those problems.
Which is really where the whole game is won or lost.
And if you have a good prospecting method… and if you have an offer that is valuable and attractive to your prospects… then you can be mediocre at sales and still build a thriving agency.
If that sounds good, then be sure to check out the replay of this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session.
On it, I'll share with you how you can suck at sales but still nail your prospecting.
The replay is up now and you can view it here:
The Captain’s Log
Here you can find the latest YouTube videos from our Captains Tom and Nick. They’re putting out new videos all the time, so check back each week for new goodies.

And I’ll talk to you soon!
Mahalo,
Tom Gaddis
