Paul Kirch, Founder and Host of BOSS Academy, an entrepreneurial success community, has won the Alignable® Local Businessperson of The Year Contest. In addition, he finished 24th in all of North America, competing against 9 million members. Leveraging his highly impactful engagement methodology, Askology, he dominated in earning votes in his local area and quickly climbed to the top 25 during the last 3 weeks of the 7-week contest. During that same period, he collected 160 unsolicited testimonials, further validating the peer support that he received.
Networking and sales are two of the most important areas entrepreneurs and small business leaders must shine if they wish to grow their brands in this highly competitive business landscape.
As the founder of BOSS Academy, an entrepreneurial success community, he was introduced to Alignable® almost four weeks into the 7-week contest for Local Businessperson of the Year. He was a late adopter of this powerful networking platform, but leveraging his engagement methodology he was able to dominate his local market of Fort Worth, Texas, winning by a 200% margin over second place. This also landed him 24th position in all of North America.
During the contest, he was surprised by his rapid success, as he was fairly new to Alignable. “Chuck Castro, Alignable® Head of Corporate Communications and News shared that I was leading my local contest, so I decided to make a stronger investment in Alignable® networking events. I’m glad I did, as I met some amazing people and won my local area.”
Paul Kirch is a former drive-time radio show host and former top 10 business podcaster with his high-impact show for entrepreneurs and small business leaders, called BOSS Academy Radio, which began in 2014. BOSS stood for Business Ownership Success Strategies, which fueled every episode. The brand BOSS Academy lives on today as an entrepreneurial success platform and community designed to provide support, collaboration, learning and growth for its members, sponsors and supporters. Paul attributes his success in winning the Alignable contest to his engagement methodology, Askology, which helps users learn to drive engagement by asking better questions, based upon four key types of questions. “I was fortunate to learn two valuable lessons from my early sales career. The first is to always be a resource. I don’t want to just sell to customers. I want to engage people who know I’m there to help them succeed, making them choose to buy. The second lesson was the power of asking better questions to engage meaningful conversations for networking and selling success. This is the foundation of Askology and it’s also a core philosophy I bring to BOSS Academy.”
In addition to BOSS Academy, Paul serves as a marketing and brand strategist, copywriter, and sales and leadership coach. His entrepreneurial journey began when he launched his first company in 2009 and flourishes today, as he’s found his passion of serving entrepreneurs who are purpose-driven.
He attributes his background and history of helping other leaders flourish to his success on Alignable.
