Unemployable with Jeff Dudan

A FREE COPY OF JEFF'S Book DiscernmentVisit: https://JeffDudan.com If you run a business that lives on leads, quotes, and callbacks… this conversation could change your revenue. In this episode, I sit down with marketing and customer experience expert Jay Baer to talk about the advantage most small businesses keep missing: speed. Not just speed to close — speed to respond. We get into why “first contact” sets the tone for the entire relationship, the difference between being fast and being too fast, and how word-of-mouth actually works in the real world (hint: “competent” doesn’t create conversations). We also talk talk-triggers — the simple operational choices that turn customers into volunteer marketers — plus what AI is changing (and what it can’t replace): the human touch. If you want more leads, better close rates, and customers who actually stick… start here.

In this episode, Jeff Dudan sits down with Andrew Bustamante — former CIA intelligence officer and founder of EverydaySpy — for a conversation that hits hard on the real mechanics of influence: how trust is built, how outcomes get shaped, why most entrepreneurs burn out building from scratch, and why a franchise model is often the smartest path for high performers who want to scale with less chaos. We get into: Why entrepreneurship can crush your family if you build alone The “outcome → plan → execute” flywheel (and how leaders apply it) Humility vs. confidence when money, pricing, and negotiation are on the table The difference between method acting and true undercover compartmentalization Why CIA hiring is a masterclass in vetting, training, and capability testing The uncomfortable truth about “manipulation,” motivation, and behavioral control How EverydaySpy skills can upgrade your relationships and business fast Andrew’s 30-day business answer: recurring repair = recurring revenue Andrew’s book: Shadow Cell (co-authored with Jihi Bustamante) Hachette Book Group Connect with Andrew / @EverydaySpy Website: EverydaySpy.com Instagram: @EverydaySpy X: @EverydaySpy X (formerly Twitter) YouTube: @Andrew-Bustamante A FREE COPY OF JEFF'S Book Discernment Find Out More About Jeff Dudan at www.jeffdudan.com  #Unemployable #JeffDudan #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #Sales #Negotiation #Influence #CommunicationSkills #DecisionMaking #RiskManagement #HighPerformance #Franchising #Mindset #PersonalDevelopment #CIA Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
