| 0:00.0 | As you can probably see, it does not take a lot of referrals in a mid or high ticket product to make a million dollar leap in your business. |
| 0:10.5 | The reason why people don't do this is that they get distracted with bright, shiny objects, not because people are referring less often, not because the strategy is any less powerful than it ever was. |
| 0:22.8 | But the truth is most people get so busy being busy that they're focused on action and activity, |
| 0:29.8 | not activation. I can guarantee you that all the way on the side of simplicity to scale is getting there through referral marketing. |
| 0:40.5 | There's nothing simpler. |
| 0:42.5 | There's nothing easier. |
| 0:43.9 | And it's often overlooked and forgotten because we simply get distracted. We're continuing in our series here on the Kelly Road show about why Analog is crushing it in a new AI era. |

| 2:02.5 | that we brought up on the last session, which is what is the average price point of the product |
| 2:07.9 | that you are going to be generating and creating your referral pipeline around? What is the product? |
