About Chrissy

After accidentally ending up in the global spotlight for her unique identical twins, she was forced to create & grow a brand on the fly. She knew she needed to harness the power of the publicity they were getting. Fast forward 15 years, and now by combining her formal education with the real-world knowledge gained from her family’s growth toward global brand awareness, she has a deep understanding of how to help brands clearly communicate their stories, increase their influence & reduce the chaos experienced in the journey of being known, and she does so with proven Branding & Marketing frameworks and strategic PR.

00:01:03,759 --> 00:01:03,963

[john_nichols]: oh

 

24

00:01:03,889 --> 00:01:08,216

[chrissy_bernal]: while i always was interested in marketing

and advertising and branding and all of that

 

25

00:01:08,336 --> 00:01:12,924

[chrissy_bernal]: stuff it wasn't until my girls were

in

 

26

00:01:13,278 --> 00:01:13,841

[john_nichols]: m oh

 

27

00:01:13,765 --> 00:01:17,411

[chrissy_bernal]: they're about ten or eleven years old

and they were thrust into the global spotlight

 

28

00:01:17,341 --> 00:01:17,361

[john_nichols]: a

 

29

00:01:17,872 --> 00:01:18,273

[chrissy_bernal]: because

 

30

00:01:18,249 --> 00:01:18,269

[john_nichols]: m

 

31

00:01:18,353 --> 00:01:21,217

[chrissy_bernal]: they were so unique as identical twins

 

32

00:01:21,159 --> 00:01:21,427

[john_nichols]: yah

 

33

00:01:21,618 --> 00:01:22,440

[chrissy_bernal]: which i know sound

 

34

00:01:23,079 --> 00:01:23,099

[john_nichols]: m

 

35

00:01:23,101 --> 00:01:27,107

[chrissy_bernal]: interesting to say unique and identical at

the same time um

 

36

00:01:26,919 --> 00:01:27,125

[john_nichols]: yes

 

37

00:01:27,849 --> 00:01:34,159

[chrissy_bernal]: but they were they were recognized for

being really rare set of identical twins wherein

 

38

00:01:34,219 --> 00:01:39,688

[chrissy_bernal]: that one has a form of dwarfhism

called primordial dwarfhism so that that's fewer

 

39

00:01:39,669 --> 00:01:39,689

[john_nichols]: m

 

40

00:01:39,728 --> 00:01:44,997

[chrissy_bernal]: than two hundred people in the entire

world have this form of dwarfhism and she

 

41

00:01:45,097 --> 00:01:49,284

[chrissy_bernal]: actually has a variant of it that

they actually don't know what it is yet

 

42

00:01:49,384 --> 00:01:54,192

[chrissy_bernal]: so they said hers might even be

her own form of primordial dworfhism currently there

 

43

00:01:54,293 --> 00:01:55,635

[chrissy_bernal]: are six variants of

 

44

00:01:55,629 --> 00:01:55,870

[john_nichols]: oh

 

45

00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:57,778

[chrissy_bernal]: primordial dworfhism that they've identified

 

46

00:01:57,984 --> 00:01:58,004

[john_nichols]: a

 

47

00:01:58,620 --> 00:01:58,840

[chrissy_bernal]: and

 

48

00:01:58,689 --> 00:01:58,709

[john_nichols]: m

 

49

00:01:59,101 --> 00:02:04,269

[chrissy_bernal]: it was after they got thrust into

the spotlight i said oh my gosh we

 

50

00:02:04,209 --> 00:02:04,470

[john_nichols]: oh

 

51

00:02:04,369 --> 00:02:08,376

[chrissy_bernal]: have got to harness the publicity that

they're getting i don't know what the future

 

52

00:02:08,416 --> 00:02:09,778

[chrissy_bernal]: holds for them but i know

 

53

00:02:09,661 --> 00:02:09,805

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

54

00:02:09,899 --> 00:02:13,725

[chrissy_bernal]: that this something we need to take

advantage of and try and do something with

 

55

00:02:14,206 --> 00:02:15,628

[chrissy_bernal]: so we created

 

56

00:02:15,429 --> 00:02:15,712

[john_nichols]: my

 

57

00:02:15,668 --> 00:02:18,393

75

00:02:51,872 --> 00:02:53,153

76

00:02:53,109 --> 00:02:53,949

in their publishing journeys and now i take

 

83

[chrissy_bernal]: what i learned in the building of

their brands and my own brand and i

 

84

00:03:15,704 --> 00:03:19,771

[chrissy_bernal]: helped other people do the same thing

i know there was a round about way

 

85

00:03:19,831 --> 00:03:22,916

[chrissy_bernal]: of saying it but i usually don't

go that much in depth but i thought

 

86

00:03:22,956 --> 00:03:26,425

[chrissy_bernal]: your audience would appreciate a little bit

more of a deep dive then than i

00:03:59,961 --> 00:04:00,143

[chrissy_bernal]: yes

 

95

00:04:00,061 --> 00:04:01,864

[chrissy_bernal]: oh

 

97

00:04:02,405 --> 00:04:05,890

[john_nichols]: it's just kind of interesting i was

[john_nichols]: and

 

104

00:04:17,874 --> 00:04:18,055

109

00:04:30,690 --> 00:04:37,943

that alone is such a brand builder piece

 

110

00:04:38,383 --> 00:04:43,172

[john_nichols]: because your girls have really cool stories

and you get to be a part of

 

111

00:04:43,233 --> 00:04:44,455

[john_nichols]: that and the thing

116

00:05:01,394 --> 00:05:05,565

[john_nichols]: which is a project i'm working on

that's not quite get off of the ground

 

117

00:05:05,967 --> 00:05:10,341

[john_nichols]: and i decided to go into podcasting

to kind of trying to build my brain

 

118

00:05:10,421 --> 00:05:12,384

[john_nichols]: through podcasting um

 

119

00:05:12,470 --> 00:05:12,655

[chrissy_bernal]: mark

 

120

00:05:13,125 --> 00:05:19,436

[john_nichols]: but it's still the same concepts and

the one thing that that i'm just i'm

 

121

00:05:19,476 --> 00:05:25,225

[john_nichols]: just so enamored about you is this

whole brand building and how it came to

 

122

00:05:25,306 --> 00:05:30,074

[john_nichols]: you and how you you took the

opportunities of life and you ran with it

 

123

00:05:30,374 --> 00:05:31,015

[john_nichols]: instead of looking

 

124

00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:31,113

[chrissy_bernal]: yes

 

125

00:05:31,075 --> 00:05:35,054

[john_nichols]: at the negatives that happened to you

you just oh wait this is great stuff

 

126

00:05:36,221 --> 00:05:36,425

[chrissy_bernal]: right

 

127

00:05:36,222 --> 00:05:36,830

[john_nichols]: and it was

 

128

00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,525

[chrissy_bernal]: i don't look at it as it

happened to me i feel like it happened

 

129

00:05:42,805 --> 00:05:49,820

[chrissy_bernal]: for me and you know i feel

like it's just given me the since of

 

130

00:05:49,900 --> 00:05:53,326

[chrissy_bernal]: so having special needs kids

[john_nichols]: yeah

[chrissy_bernal]: has shaped me i'm sure i'm sure

177

00:07:53,769 --> 00:07:58,798

[chrissy_bernal]: not be the same person that i

am now without her and honestly she's one

 

178

00:07:58,858 --> 00:08:02,725

[chrissy_bernal]: of the most emotion intelligent people i

have ever met and she works

 

179

00:08:02,709 --> 00:08:02,957

[john_nichols]: oh

 

180

00:08:02,805 --> 00:08:03,346

[chrissy_bernal]: hard at it

 

181

00:08:03,579 --> 00:08:03,861

[john_nichols]: oh

 

182

00:08:03,787 --> 00:08:08,477

[chrissy_bernal]: so it didn't come naturally she works

to be emotionally intelligent and seeing that in

 

183

00:08:08,557 --> 00:08:10,803

[chrissy_bernal]: her has me go okay i

 

184

00:08:10,818 --> 00:08:10,839

[john_nichols]: m

 

185

00:08:10,883 --> 00:08:13,130

[chrissy_bernal]: need to make sure i'm doing a

good job too

 

186

00:08:16,051 --> 00:08:22,041

[john_nichols]: that definitely because the thing is is

that you know you know i'm a certified

 

187

00:08:22,101 --> 00:08:23,965

[john_nichols]: john maxwell leadership coach

 

188

00:08:24,384 --> 00:08:24,626

[chrissy_bernal]: nice

 

189

00:08:24,445 --> 00:08:28,933

[john_nichols]: and and yeah that's that i didn't

tel you beforehand but the thing is is

 

190

00:08:28,993 --> 00:08:35,764

[john_nichols]: that john maxwell has a really cool

definition of of leadership and that means is

 

191

00:08:35,824 --> 00:08:41,493

[john_nichols]: that leadership is nothing more than influence

m and we all influence someone and we

 

192

00:08:41,613 --> 00:08:43,216

[john_nichols]: all are influenced by someone else

 

193

00:08:44,351 --> 00:08:44,775

[chrissy_bernal]: absolutely

 

194

00:08:44,378 --> 00:08:48,384

[john_nichols]: and so your daughter has led you

more than you can even think that she

 

195

00:08:48,464 --> 00:08:50,308

[john_nichols]: has which is really

 

196

00:08:50,208 --> 00:08:50,760

[chrissy_bernal]: hm

 

197

00:08:50,408 --> 00:08:56,621

[john_nichols]: cool as i took this concept and

it was last year last spring i was

 

198

00:08:56,721 --> 00:09:00,527

[john_nichols]: able to go to my daughter's christian

school and an eighth grade they have a

 

199

00:09:00,587 --> 00:09:02,551

[john_nichols]: leadership class and i was able to

go in

 

200

00:09:02,582 --> 00:09:02,684

[chrissy_bernal]: we

 

201

00:09:02,611 --> 00:09:07,239

[john_nichols]: and speak to them and teach teach

on leadership and i talked about this hole

 

202

00:09:07,339 --> 00:09:12,088

[john_nichols]: concept of influence and how it's so

important at this age when you're eighth grade

 

203

00:09:12,789 --> 00:09:17,396

[john_nichols]: i mean that there's a pretty i

mean thirteen fourteen i mean ourteenfifteen year old

 

204

00:09:17,457 --> 00:09:22,465

[john_nichols]: kid thirteen fourteen thirteen fourteen kay got

 

205

00:09:22,411 --> 00:09:22,594

[chrissy_bernal]: yeah

 

206

00:09:22,525 --> 00:09:25,169

[john_nichols]: my ages mixed up there for a

second chrissy but anyhow

 

207

00:09:25,230 --> 00:09:25,250

[chrissy_bernal]: m

 

208

00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:31,159

[john_nichols]: but thirteen fourteen year old there is

so much they are so much influenced by

 

209

00:09:31,260 --> 00:09:32,301

[john_nichols]: their peer group

 

210

00:09:33,150 --> 00:09:33,640

[chrissy_bernal]: mist

 

211

00:09:33,283 --> 00:09:37,831

[john_nichols]: and i wanted and i wanted them

to understand that that's part of eadership is

 

212

00:09:37,931 --> 00:09:42,238

[john_nichols]: that you need to go in and

have some positive leadership with these folks you

 

213

00:09:42,298 --> 00:09:47,146

[john_nichols]: need to have an optimistic outlook on

life and it's very hard at this age

 

214

00:09:47,667 --> 00:09:51,715

[john_nichols]: you raising two girls no better than

anything i've got a fourteen year old daughter

 

215

00:09:51,915 --> 00:09:55,622

[john_nichols]: and i'm tellin you right now and

i love her so much but she is

 

216

00:09:55,782 --> 00:09:57,265

[john_nichols]: challenging with her emotions

 

217

00:09:57,210 --> 00:09:57,592

[chrissy_bernal]: yeah

 

218

00:09:57,345 --> 00:10:03,753

[john_nichols]: right now i mean and i have

to kind of back myself down and and

 

219

00:10:04,474 --> 00:10:10,023

[john_nichols]: embrace this empathy piece with her to

make sure that i am giving her the

 

220

00:10:10,063 --> 00:10:12,728

[john_nichols]: things that she needs and not

 

221

00:10:12,744 --> 00:10:12,848

[chrissy_bernal]: eh

 

222

00:10:12,828 --> 00:10:14,984

[john_nichols]: just read acting to what's happening

 

223

00:10:16,546 --> 00:10:19,281

[chrissy_bernal]: hm that's definitely a tough i remember

 

224

00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:25,147

[john_nichols]: yeah so so so as far as

we as you're as we are building our

 

225

00:10:25,308 --> 00:10:31,698

[john_nichols]: brands what is what in your opinion

is probably the most difficult piece when you

 

226

00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:32,944

[john_nichols]: building a brand

 

227

00:10:33,950 --> 00:10:34,190

[chrissy_bernal]: you know

 

228

00:10:34,269 --> 00:10:34,517

[john_nichols]: okay

 

229

00:10:34,390 --> 00:10:38,978

[chrissy_bernal]: this is something that comes up often

when people start working with me they feel

 

230

00:10:39,018 --> 00:10:40,901

[chrissy_bernal]: like they're all over the place and

 

231

00:10:41,021 --> 00:10:41,186

[john_nichols]: okay

 

232

00:10:41,042 --> 00:10:43,926

[chrissy_bernal]: it's not just in one area a

lot of times they're all over the place

 

233

00:10:44,439 --> 00:10:44,659

[john_nichols]: oh

 

234

00:10:44,527 --> 00:10:48,254

[chrissy_bernal]: with their market they're all over the

place with their social media they're all of

 

235

00:10:48,354 --> 00:10:51,820

[chrissy_bernal]: the place with their offers you know

and so when it comes to the personal

 

236

00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:58,290

[chrissy_bernal]: brand the number one thing i harp

on is clarity and so that mean you

 

237

00:10:58,330 --> 00:10:59,292

[chrissy_bernal]: need to pull

 

238

00:10:59,319 --> 00:10:59,541

[john_nichols]: oh

 

239

00:10:59,352 --> 00:11:04,681

[chrissy_bernal]: back for a second take a few

hours one afternoon and get some clarity and

 

240

00:11:04,801 --> 00:11:07,265

[chrissy_bernal]: one of the things you need to

get clarity on is messaging

 

241

00:11:07,929 --> 00:11:07,949

[john_nichols]: m

 

242

00:11:08,067 --> 00:11:13,195

[chrissy_bernal]: so you know if you don't have

an actual written out here is our message

 

243

00:11:13,749 --> 00:11:14,529

[john_nichols]: oh

 

244

00:11:13,836 --> 00:11:16,841

[chrissy_bernal]: then that's going to make it a

lot more difficult when you're trying to write

 

245

00:11:16,981 --> 00:11:20,487

[chrissy_bernal]: emails when you're trying to write your

website copy even

 

246

00:11:20,402 --> 00:11:21,159

[john_nichols]: okay

 

247

00:11:20,587 --> 00:11:25,295

[chrissy_bernal]: social media posts can be a lot

harder if you don't have the messaging and

 

248

00:11:25,436 --> 00:11:27,379

[chrissy_bernal]: i actually like to guide people to

 

249

00:11:27,510 --> 00:11:27,530

[john_nichols]: a

 

250

00:11:27,519 --> 00:11:31,966

[chrissy_bernal]: the story brand framework i'm not sure

if you've heard of that it is by

 

251

00:11:31,874 --> 00:11:31,914

[john_nichols]: h

 

252

00:11:32,107 --> 00:11:32,788

[chrissy_bernal]: donald miller

 

253

00:11:32,748 --> 00:11:32,769

[john_nichols]: m

 

254

00:11:33,068 --> 00:11:34,492

[chrissy_bernal]: and probably see book right up there

 

255

00:11:36,819 --> 00:11:37,809

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

256

00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:42,128

[chrissy_bernal]: but it is a seven part framework

and i just absolutely love it now i

 

257

00:11:42,188 --> 00:11:46,656

[chrissy_bernal]: don't use it strictly i do we've

ben a little bit of kind of human

 

258

00:11:46,876 --> 00:11:50,703

[chrissy_bernal]: aspect to it i make sure there's

a lot more um emotions because sometimes

 

259

00:11:51,339 --> 00:11:51,768

[john_nichols]: yes

 

260

00:11:51,344 --> 00:11:54,890

[chrissy_bernal]: i've seen it where people execute it

and it can be a bit stale but

 

261

00:11:55,070 --> 00:11:55,250

[chrissy_bernal]: that's

 

262

00:11:55,135 --> 00:11:55,197

[john_nichols]: ah

 

263

00:11:55,290 --> 00:11:59,317

[chrissy_bernal]: where you try and work on making

the human aspect of it in there but

 

264

00:11:59,497 --> 00:12:05,808

[chrissy_bernal]: it really focuses on and making sure

that you're speaking to the value that someone's

 

265

00:12:05,848 --> 00:12:13,000

[chrissy_bernal]: going to get from your service and

its positioning your customer as the hero r

 

266

00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:18,890

[chrissy_bernal]: than yourself and i really really like

how it has figured out that you

 

267

00:12:18,819 --> 00:12:19,224

[john_nichols]: oh

 

268

00:12:18,930 --> 00:12:21,414

[chrissy_bernal]: know people were selfish we're all selfish

and we want

 

269

00:12:21,344 --> 00:12:21,427

[john_nichols]: ah

 

270

00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:24,178

[chrissy_bernal]: to know if i'm going to use

your product or service what's in it for

 

271

00:12:24,218 --> 00:12:30,088

[chrissy_bernal]: me really yeah you can be great

but if there's the same two equal products

 

272

00:12:30,269 --> 00:12:33,394

[chrissy_bernal]: and one of them tells me how

my life is going to be awesome after

 

273

00:12:33,534 --> 00:12:37,240

[chrissy_bernal]: using it and one's just telling me

how awesome they are chances are i'm going

 

274

00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,087

[chrissy_bernal]: to choose the one that tells me

how awesome my life can be after using

 

275

00:12:41,167 --> 00:12:43,591

[chrissy_bernal]: it versus how awesome they are so

 

276

00:12:43,599 --> 00:12:43,840

[john_nichols]: oh

 

277

00:12:44,372 --> 00:12:48,379

[chrissy_bernal]: i suggest everyone try and look at

that story brand framework i really like it

 

278

00:12:49,799 --> 00:12:53,523

[john_nichols]: yeah and in top of on top

of that what you what you just said

 

279

00:12:54,164 --> 00:12:59,921

[john_nichols]: is that clarity you also need the

sister to clarity which is consistency

 

280

00:13:01,092 --> 00:13:01,315

[chrissy_bernal]: yes

 

281

00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:01,680

[john_nichols]: and

 

282

00:13:01,680 --> 00:13:01,862

[chrissy_bernal]: yes

 

283

00:13:03,403 --> 00:13:07,470

[john_nichols]: but it's pretty interesting that you talk

about that what's in it for me because

 

284

00:13:07,490 --> 00:13:11,396

[john_nichols]: that there's what everybody is and the

thing is is that we developed a concept

 

285

00:13:11,517 --> 00:13:16,923

[john_nichols]: inside of my business for my ups

stores which is called e c e which

 

286

00:13:17,023 --> 00:13:20,668

[john_nichols]: is extraordinary customer experience every

 

287

00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:20,660

[chrissy_bernal]: m

 

288

00:13:20,748 --> 00:13:20,988

[john_nichols]: time

 

289

00:13:21,225 --> 00:13:21,750

[chrissy_bernal]: hm

 

290

00:13:22,740 --> 00:13:27,648

task that may be something that you may

00:22:35,965 --> 00:22:36,767

[john_nichols]: their customers

 

511

00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,200

[chrissy_bernal]: m hm

 

512

00:22:38,209 --> 00:22:41,514

[john_nichols]: because the thing is is that you

can and i mean i talked about this

 

513

00:22:41,574 --> 00:22:48,069

[john_nichols]: in my last podcast about about anybody

can go to any other ups store okay

 

514

00:22:48,490 --> 00:22:50,253

[john_nichols]: we all carry the same product and

services

 

515

00:22:51,533 --> 00:22:52,080

[chrissy_bernal]: hm

 

516

00:22:51,715 --> 00:22:55,501

[john_nichols]: but at your experience in the store

is the differientiator

 

517

00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:57,210

[chrissy_bernal]: mhm

 

518

00:22:56,443 --> 00:23:03,161

[john_nichols]: the experience makes the value of what

we were at worth it because the thing

 

519

00:23:03,282 --> 00:23:06,407

[john_nichols]: is is that i'm sure you've been

to a up store being a small business

 

520

00:23:06,276 --> 00:23:06,750

[chrissy_bernal]: hm

 

521

00:23:06,587 --> 00:23:10,694

[john_nichols]: person as you are i'm sure that

you know that going to up store is

 

522

00:23:10,734 --> 00:23:12,537

[john_nichols]: not a cheap location to go into

 

523

00:23:13,171 --> 00:23:13,393

[chrissy_bernal]: yeah

 

524

00:23:15,310 --> 00:23:21,572

[john_nichols]: and that's okay we understand that but

i have to make you feel the value

 

525

00:23:22,530 --> 00:23:22,672

[chrissy_bernal]: right

 

526

00:23:22,614 --> 00:23:29,686

[john_nichols]: and i'm gonna say that again i

have to make you feel the value because

 

527

00:23:29,405 --> 00:23:29,445

[chrissy_bernal]: h

 

528

00:23:30,247 --> 00:23:37,004

[john_nichols]: once we tappen too your emotions and

your feelings people pay money for that all

 

529

00:23:37,084 --> 00:23:37,225

[john_nichols]: day

00:23:38,850 --> 00:23:44,319

[chrissy_bernal]: absolutely you know that's what i say

when i'm helping somebody establish their messaging is

 

533

00:23:44,660 --> 00:23:44,880

534

00:23:44,769 --> 00:23:45,639

[john_nichols]: oh

536

00:23:48,969 --> 00:23:49,719

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

537

00:23:49,067 --> 00:23:52,853

[chrissy_bernal]: that pain point in there or the

opposite of the pain point you how do

 

538

00:23:52,893 --> 00:23:56,379

[chrissy_bernal]: they want to feel that would be

the opposite of the pain point and you

 

539

00:23:56,419 --> 00:24:00,586

[chrissy_bernal]: know it's just like what you said

feeling like i spent my money at a

 

540

00:24:01,307 --> 00:24:04,533

[chrissy_bernal]: place that was well worth it awesome

now i feel good you know instead of

 

541

00:24:05,034 --> 00:24:05,494

[chrissy_bernal]: oh god

 

542

00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:06,523

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

543

00:24:06,716 --> 00:24:11,124

[chrissy_bernal]: i just spend a whole lot of

money there you know it's completely different different

 

544

00:24:11,284 --> 00:24:15,174

[chrissy_bernal]: way being and you know the excitement

to return to a so it's going to

 

545

00:24:15,215 --> 00:24:17,795

[chrissy_bernal]: make you feel good about it so

much better

 

546

00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,145

[john_nichols]: it is and the thing is is

it and that's how you really get repeat

 

547

00:24:23,245 --> 00:24:31,379

[john_nichols]: customers that's really how that you are

able to create this sense of urgent with

 

548

00:24:31,459 --> 00:24:34,765

[john_nichols]: people too you got tapping to their

feelings um

 

549

00:24:35,007 --> 00:24:35,580

[chrissy_bernal]: hm

 

550

00:24:35,446 --> 00:24:40,354

[john_nichols]: and i mean there's so many you

know the thing is is that m i

 

551

00:24:40,454 --> 00:24:44,580

[john_nichols]: teach my people that they are not

sales folks because if you think about the

 

552

00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:50,667

[john_nichols]: psychology behind sales only a small percentage

of people really like to sale if

 

553

00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:50,960

[chrissy_bernal]: yeah

 

554

00:24:50,707 --> 00:24:55,853

[john_nichols]: you really think about it and so

but so so i changed their point of

 

555

00:24:55,894 --> 00:24:59,319

[john_nichols]: view and i said well we don't

we don't do sales here in the upset

 

556

00:24:59,439 --> 00:25:02,705

[john_nichols]: or they look at me they cocked

their head like what are you talking about

 

557

00:25:02,785 --> 00:25:08,093

[john_nichols]: john i said no i said everybody

in or you are all educators you one

 

558

00:25:08,133 --> 00:25:13,605

[john_nichols]: thing i'm asking you to do is

just educate the customer about our products and

 

559

00:25:13,665 --> 00:25:17,543

[john_nichols]: service have a conversation if you can't

have a conversation then you really don't need

 

560

00:25:17,563 --> 00:25:18,344

[john_nichols]: to be working for me

 

561

00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:18,984

[chrissy_bernal]: yeah

 

562

00:25:18,785 --> 00:25:20,187

[john_nichols]: first of all i mean

 

563

00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:20,364

[chrissy_bernal]: yeah

 

564

00:25:20,268 --> 00:25:23,573

[john_nichols]: i mean if you can't talk to

customers i mean you know we are a

 

565

00:25:23,713 --> 00:25:29,102

[john_nichols]: retail service location right so if you

can't really talk to customers you might need

[john_nichols]: a factory job but don't have to

[john_nichols]: down

 

608

00:26:33,012 --> 00:26:37,377

[chrissy_bernal]: customer because the customer is going to

feel that if the customer feels like they're

 

609

00:26:37,417 --> 00:26:39,359

[chrissy_bernal]: being sold versus educated

 

610

00:26:39,220 --> 00:26:39,300

[john_nichols]: ah

 

611

00:26:40,420 --> 00:26:44,367

612

00:26:44,380 --> 00:26:44,542

[john_nichols]: yes

 

613

00:26:44,407 --> 00:26:46,029

[chrissy_bernal]: to your customer experience

 

614

00:26:45,819 --> 00:26:47,079

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

615

00:26:47,352 --> 00:26:50,857

[chrissy_bernal]: it's going to be exceptional versus i

feel sold and icky

 

616

00:26:53,210 --> 00:27:00,862

[john_nichols]: yeah that's the craziest thing it reminds

me of my faith and about and i

 

617

00:27:00,923 --> 00:27:04,488

[john_nichols]: don't mean to push this on anybody

but but it just reminds me of kin

 

618

00:27:04,589 --> 00:27:09,537

[john_nichols]: like jesus right whenever i got saved

jesus met me where i was well i

 

619

00:27:09,637 --> 00:27:12,542

[john_nichols]: tried to do that try to do

the same thing i take that same concept

 

620

00:27:12,863 --> 00:27:17,661

[john_nichols]: and and i meet my employees where

they're at because i don't expect them to

 

621

00:27:17,721 --> 00:27:20,326

[john_nichols]: be where i'm at i got to

where i met because of the things that

 

622

00:27:20,346 --> 00:27:22,970

[john_nichols]: happened to me in my life they

got to where they're at because of things

 

623

00:27:22,990 --> 00:27:25,314

[john_nichols]: that happened to them in their life

or they experience

 

624

00:27:25,076 --> 00:27:25,590

[chrissy_bernal]: hm

 

625

00:27:25,354 --> 00:27:28,098

[john_nichols]: should i say happened but experienced in

their life we all

 

626

00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,301

[chrissy_bernal]: it

 

627

00:27:28,279 --> 00:27:33,396

[john_nichols]: that's those experiences that shape our minds

and so i just meet them where they

 

628

00:27:33,516 --> 00:27:35,681

[john_nichols]: are and then

 

629

00:27:35,310 --> 00:27:35,532

[chrissy_bernal]: of that

 

630

00:27:35,961 --> 00:27:41,631

[john_nichols]: and and then then i try to

shape them through their own experiences and either

 

631

00:27:41,751 --> 00:27:46,098

[john_nichols]: let them understand that that experience was

a good thing or not such a good

 

632

00:27:46,118 --> 00:27:50,183

[john_nichols]: thing kay and i'll put it all

back on them and let them make their

 

633

00:27:50,203 --> 00:27:53,589

[john_nichols]: own decisions and in doing that that's

just the way i kind of coach and

 

634

00:27:53,629 --> 00:27:58,537

[john_nichols]: i coach through stories that way and

it really makes a big difference because because

 

635

00:27:58,597 --> 00:28:02,664

[john_nichols]: i'm dealing with a differe different animal

than you are because because i normally specialize

 

636

00:28:02,965 --> 00:28:06,370

[john_nichols]: in and coaching managers now i do

coach some

 

637

00:28:06,151 --> 00:28:06,232

[chrissy_bernal]: ah

 

638

00:28:07,031 --> 00:28:13,941

[john_nichols]: small business owners but i really uh

coach energers a lot and the thing is

 

639

00:28:14,041 --> 00:28:18,525

[john_nichols]: is that in doing that i made

them were there at i find out what

 

640

00:28:19,425 --> 00:28:24,881

[john_nichols]: and i find out the things in

their life that that that that they have

 

641

00:28:24,981 --> 00:28:29,449

[john_nichols]: issues with i find the negative stuff

in their life or in or in their

 

642

00:28:29,549 --> 00:28:33,335

[john_nichols]: job and then i try to turn

it around and saying hey what kind of

 

643

00:28:33,375 --> 00:28:35,744

[john_nichols]: positives can we find from these things

it makes

 

644

00:28:35,664 --> 00:28:36,106

[chrissy_bernal]: exactly

 

645

00:28:35,785 --> 00:28:36,452

[john_nichols]: a big difference

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

661

00:28:52,810 --> 00:28:59,060

[chrissy_bernal]: instead of to you and you know

your brand can kind of naturally define self

 

662

00:28:59,441 --> 00:29:03,147

[chrissy_bernal]: if you just pay attention to what's

happening around you and you know like i

 

663

00:29:03,187 --> 00:29:04,449

[john_nichols]: yes

 

671

00:29:12,403 --> 00:29:14,306

[chrissy_bernal]: where we meet them where they are

because

 

672

00:29:14,289 --> 00:29:15,129

[john_nichols]: yah

 

673

00:29:14,386 --> 00:29:16,449

[john_nichols]: my

 

675

00:29:16,610 --> 00:29:17,872

[chrissy_bernal]: it has allowed us to

 

676

00:29:17,990 --> 00:29:18,091

[john_nichols]: ah

 

677

00:29:18,393 --> 00:29:23,604

[chrissy_bernal]: kind of approach differently than maybe we

would have without special needs children

 

678

00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:26,619

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

679

00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:29,697

[chrissy_bernal]: i can feel like i have a

lot more patients than i might not have

 

680

00:29:30,459 --> 00:29:30,660

[john_nichols]: yes

 

681

00:29:31,140 --> 00:29:35,928

[chrissy_bernal]: and you know i just feel like

682

00:29:35,781 --> 00:29:35,822

[john_nichols]: hm

 

683

00:29:35,968 --> 00:29:40,155

[chrissy_bernal]: well maybe this person is looking at

it this way so how can i get

 

684

00:29:40,195 --> 00:29:40,455

[chrissy_bernal]: them to

 

685

00:29:40,809 --> 00:29:41,074

[john_nichols]: oh

 

686

00:29:40,816 --> 00:29:46,485

[chrissy_bernal]: you kind of reshape it and understand

what it is i'm trying to communicate so

 

687

00:29:46,666 --> 00:29:48,930

[chrissy_bernal]: it's really taught me how to communicate

better i believe

 

688

00:29:50,119 --> 00:29:53,323

[john_nichols]: that's awesome that's really awesome well christie

we're getting towards the end of our time

 

689

00:29:53,824 --> 00:29:59,786

[john_nichols]: i just got one last question give

me your favorite client story that you have

 

690

00:29:59,826 --> 00:30:02,716

[john_nichols]: out there that that is just awesome

 

691

00:30:04,090 --> 00:30:06,494

[chrissy_bernal]: well you know there was just one

company

 

692

00:30:06,219 --> 00:30:06,466

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

693

00:30:06,574 --> 00:30:08,458

[chrissy_bernal]: that i did their messaging for

 

694

00:30:09,249 --> 00:30:10,059

[john_nichols]: my

 

695

00:30:09,319 --> 00:30:13,286

[chrissy_bernal]: and i chuckle about this one because

 

696

00:30:14,949 --> 00:30:15,273

[john_nichols]: yeah

 

697

00:30:15,389 --> 00:30:20,458

[chrissy_bernal]: we did it to work with them

very long because after changing their messaging and

 

698

00:30:20,478 --> 00:30:25,586

[chrissy_bernal]: getting the clarity there behind that they

had so many leads that came in that

 

699

00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:25,932

[john_nichols]: yes

 

700

00:30:25,927 --> 00:30:27,630

[chrissy_bernal]: they had to stop like working for

lead

 

701

00:30:28,659 --> 00:30:29,302

[john_nichols]: uh

 

702

00:30:29,412 --> 00:30:33,720

[chrissy_bernal]: because o got to be too many

to i love that story just because it

 

703

00:30:33,780 --> 00:30:37,887

[chrissy_bernal]: shows the power of getting that clarity

of your messaging and the clarity

 

704

00:30:37,862 --> 00:30:37,882

[john_nichols]: i

 

705

00:30:37,947 --> 00:30:40,130

[chrissy_bernal]: of your offer and the clarity of

who you are

 

706

00:30:40,188 --> 00:30:40,209

[john_nichols]: m

 

707

00:30:40,591 --> 00:30:45,579

[chrissy_bernal]: getting all of that clarity once you

get all that together everything else just falls

 

708

00:30:45,660 --> 00:30:49,306

[chrissy_bernal]: into place and so it was need

to actually see it happen i mean i've
