iTunes Shout Outs:
OUCH!
Good stuff guys! Definitely checking out the book.
Rule 3 is a great one for me today. I appreciate what you both are doing. Keep it up!
This is the second time I’ve heard Matt on a podcast that I listen to. Great stuff!
Thanks, other matt!
Love this. Very excited to dive into the book. Thanks guys!
Loved it. Great information and right on from my experience so far:)
Thanks again for having me on the show!
I know this doesn’t help Matt’s book sales, but it’s included in the Kindle Unlimited program. I look forward to reading it.
Great info. been looking for eCommerce info. I ordered the book today.
I bought Matt’s book and he mentioned in the podcast that I can send him the receipt and he would give out a link to the audible version. Does anyone know where to send it too? Thank you!
Your response to the “10 minute infomercial” review on iTunes. That was too funny, Chris!
Seriously, I learned a lot from this episode! I especially loved rule 3 (relationships trump knowledge). That’s what I’ve been learning this past year. Yes, it’s important to have knowledge and skills…but SO much of it all boils down to your relationships.
I hear it (and say it) all the time but people do business with people they know, like, and trust.
