How did Alex Hormozi become wealthy?
When I was 27, I had just over a million dollars in my bank account in cash. By the time I was 29, I had over 20. By the time I was 31, it was more than that. Here's how to get so rich you realize money was never the point. But first, you have to get rich. There's three strategies, and the first one is building a brand.
What are the three strategies to get rich?
So I remember this point when I had launched this new product called ALN at the time, which is supposed to be automated lead nurture. We had a big distribution base of gyms that use our model. And one of the big pain points they had was that they wouldn't work their leads or it was very time consuming and costly to, you know, continue to follow up and call and set appointments and remind people to show up for their gym workouts and their sales appointments. And so we put together this like Zapier Frankenstein product basically that automated the texts based on responses and it was this massive decision tree that took like six months to build. And when I did the release of this product, some people weren't able to be live for the release because they had classes, they had sessions, they had whatever. And one of the most interesting things that had never happened to me before,
is people started calling into our support team and saying, hey, here's my credit card. I know that Alex launched something, just like bill me for it, I'm in. It was the first time in my life where I had people just say like, I will buy whatever he has based on his reputation, not based on anything else. In a word, Steve Jobs describes brand as trust. And I define trust as predictive power based on past experiences. Just as much as you can trust someone to do a bad job, you can trust someone to do a good job. And so the idea here is obviously to build trust that we will deliver on our promises. And so fundamentally, you build that by making promises and keeping or over delivering on the promises you have. But brand is a big amorphous topic.
How does building a brand lead to trust?
And so how do you measure this in dollars and cents? And so there's basically three things that brand translates to in terms of economics for a business. And so the first is conversion rate. Now, what does that mean? So conversion rate is the percentage of people who, when presented with your offer, choose to buy it. And so let's say that you have a bad brand or no brand at all. So that would mean that a bad brand would be that you have a past history. People trust you to do bad stuff, right? So you have lower than neutral. If you have no brand, then they would act as though you are some, basically, it would be based on their experience with other businesses that look like yours. and so this is also why quote good branding even if you don't have a history of reinforcement can still be important because if you walk talk and quack like somebody who is a scam artist you will have people treat you like one it's not just your experience, but their experience with people like you. Fundamentally, this is what racism is about.
But people prejudge people because that's how we go through life. If we had to start at zero for every single person we met, we would use up all of the cognitive load that we have, and consumers, like all humans, try to use shorthand. We want to learn based on the things, put a label on it, put it in a bucket, and not think about it as fast as possible.
What is the importance of conversion rate in branding?
And so from a conversion rate perspective, a good brand means that, let's say, neutral, would be, let's say you close 20% of people who you get on the phone with at a specific price point. At negative, which actually, I'll just put a zero here, negative one, and then positive, right, maybe, and the thing here is that this could go as high as you want. Like, if you have an unbelievable reputation, like plus, plus, plus, maybe you close 80%. And what's interesting about this is if you look, and maybe here it's 0%, because everyone hates you, and you basically have to rely on people who don't know who you are. So basically you just have to keep finding more, you have to advertise wider and wider to find people who have yet to meet you, which is a terrible way to live. Brand gives you an increased percentage of people who will buy when presented with your offer, just like the guy who didn't even need to get presented with the offer, just knowing that I had an offer, he was willing to buy it.
