Every product or service you sell is actually TWO products:

1. The features

2. The results

Cannot stress this enough:

THE ONLY THING THAT SELLS IS SPECIFIC RESULTS.

SPECIFIC RESULTS!!!
UI/UX/Features don't sell, but they can enable you to articulate the results

If you are selling software, you will lose every time you say "It can do xyz"

No.

"It will give you 2-3 hours back in your day so you can spend more time growing your business instead"
"It will prevent deadlines from being missed, reducing your churn rate by X% saving you X$"

"It will reduce your prospecting time by 80% so your reps can each spend an additional 4 hours a day on the phone with customers, leading to X more demos/rev"

Do I need to go on?
If selling a service

"By getting you to the first page of google, you can get an additional X visits, increasing your revenue by $Y if we convert a modest Z%"

"With booking system for your website, we can double to triple your bookings, increasing sales by $X+"

8 years ago I was a college student living in a $290/mo studio w/ no heat in the middle of a midwestern winter

I had my oven on full blast as I laid on my air mattress

"Look at all these idiots with money. Why can't I have that? Fuck this, I'm going to get rich or die trying"
There wasn't half the info and resources back then as there is now, but I was able to start pulling in 6 figures about a year and a half after graduating.

I made a lot of mistakes. Knowing what I do now, I could be a deca-millionaire if I had a time machine.
College kids:
-have a social life but fuck the excessive partying/festivals
-lift weights, stay in shape, and ignore those who don't unless they're highly skilled & focused on $
-learn how to sell & write copy. With the info out now you could be a better seller than a F500 AE

The best business books aren't about business.

The Prince is a step-by-step playbook for the most  cut-throat, results-driven leaders.

All flaws w/ Machiavellian philosophy aside, it's still very relevant in legit business.

Here are some timeless pieces of advice:
1) “Injuries ought to be done all at one time, so that, being tasted less, they offend less; benefits ought to be given little by little, so that the flavour of them may last"

This applies to both your workers & your customers.
Injuries: raising prices, restructuring, layoffs, cutbacks

Benefits: bonuses, perks, features, updates, sales,

Make the pain swift & keep the goods on drip feed.
