Summary
It's time to learn how to start, grow, clean out and "touch" your database! We dive deep into the systems that we failed with and what is working for us now. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the easiest and we give you the down low on why we both ended up using a simple excel spreadsheet. We are sharing that very spreadsheet with all of you when you visit hustlehumblypodcast.com/database_template. We discuss how important it is to have a database and why using it will be the most successful, fun and safe way to grow and sustain your business.

| 0:04.7 | Baton Rouge market. We work for two different companies where we should be competitors, but we have chosen |
| 0:09.1 | community over competition. The goal of our podcast is to encourage you to find your own way in business. |

| 0:20.3 | podcast. Episode nine. Yep. very exciting. And today we're |
| 0:24.2 | talking all about how we work our database, what we use, what systems we have in place, what |
| 0:30.0 | systems we don't have in place, what works, what doesn't work. Yep. And we have a lot of good |
| 0:35.6 | content. Well, working your database is so fun. |
| 0:39.3 | It is fun. It's the funest part of our job. And I feel like so many people aren't doing it |
| 0:44.3 | properly or they don't do it at all. Let's be honest. It's not that they're not doing it properly. |
| 0:49.4 | There probably is no right or wrong way to do your database if you're actually talking to them. Yes, but so many people |
| 0:55.9 | aren't talking to them at all and that is a problem. That's when you're doing it wrong. Yes, |

| 1:16.7 | about that for a second. Okay. It's not a very advanced technologically system. It is the easiest |
| 1:24.6 | for me because I like to see it all at once. Yeah. And I feel like having a broad view of who all the people are, what all their, you know, |
| 1:31.8 | emails and phone numbers are. |
| 1:33.3 | And when, you know, you last talk to them or if you're, |
