    #219 - Is closing in the DMs more work than sales calls (and how to fix it)

    Who actually loves sales calls? I know there are a few people who thrive on them, but for most of us out there, that’s not a reality. 
     
    These days, closing sales via Instagram DMs has appeared as this holy grail alternative to those anxiety-inducing sales calls. However, for many people, it has actually just created more work. 
     
    So, what’s the solution? 
     
    Today, I’m taking you through some practical ideas to help reduce the time spent on answering the influx of questions in your DMs and make your sales strategy a whole lot more efficient. 
     
    We’ll explore the realities and problems that come with DM sales, and my favourite solution to mitigate them: automation!
     
    Automating messages can save a whole lot of time and energy, and you likely already have the tool to best execute this with: ManyChat.
     
    I'll walk you through my experiments and findings over the last couple of months, illustrating how automation can be a game changer for your customer engagement. 
     
    So, tune in now and let’s get those DMs working for and not against you!

    #218 - Stopping launching is not the answer... THIS IS

    Most launches these days are using more time, effort and revenue than they’re giving back. It too often feels like there’s just no payoff for the amount of hours we spend on trying to make them work.
     
    So what’s the answer? While you might be tempted to throw in the towel and give up on launching altogether, I'm here to tell you that stopping launching isn’t it. 
     
    Today, I’m sharing another behind-the-scenes look at our recent UFW live event—a three-day extravaganza that was incredibly fun and value-packed. I’ll take you through some of the biggest aha moments from those three days, as well as how to implement some practical strategies to combat those live launching blues and start making more sales. 
     
    So, strap in and get ready to learn how to transform your business, one simple piece at a time. I can guarantee that if you take the first step today, you’ll look back in a few months and be amazed at how far you’ve come.

    #217 - The real secret to always selling out your offers

    #217 - The real secret to always selling out your offers

    Want to know the secret to selling out your offers consistently?
     
    Well, you’re in luck, because today I’m sharing a snippet from Day 2 of our UFW live event that blew our attendees away and armed them with some crucial strategies to sell their offers with much more ease.
     
    With so much marketing advice making the rounds online, it can be really confusing to know what the best path to take is. But I have some good news for you: you don’t need to be a sales and marketing expert to make more sales.
     
    In this episode, we’re talking about a simple reframe that will highlight what you should actually be focusing on to move the needle forward in your business.
     
    I discuss how creating an irresistible offer is more important than being a sales and marketing guru, and share practical ways to set your pricing correctly. We’ll also explore how to approach delivering your program in a way that best suits both you and your ideal clients. 
     
    Despite the economic waves, your business can thrive with the right adjustments. Little tweaks add up, whether it’s pricing, promise or payment options. Remember, our goal is continuous improvement – the layer-by-layer approach often leads to the most substantial gains.

    #216 - These exact words will make you more sales

    #216 - These exact words will make you more sales

    I recently held an epic three-day experience called “Unf*ckwithable Live”. This was a  live online event packed with value to help business owners make more sales and thrive, no matter what the economy is doing.
     
    We received such amazing feedback from this event, I couldn’t resist sharing the top three takeaways with you. So, pick up your pen and paper and get ready for some serious value bombs that you can take right into your business:
     
    Speak Your Audience’s Language
    Getting in front of lots of people is one thing, but how do you make it so that they remember you? The answer: You need to learn to speak their language. We’ll explore learning your audience’s pain points and how to communicate with them in their own words.  
     
    Create Impactful Lead Magnets
    Once you’ve uncovered the right messaging, it’s time to create lead magnets that tie to your talking points. I talk about the 20-minute rule, where any freebie you offer should take no more than 20 minutes to consume. A concise and impactful lead magnet lets them see immediate value, making them much more likely to buy your paid offers. 
     
    Can You Afford to Pay for Your Customers?
    This might look like a weird question, but hear me out: once you’ve nailed offers that sell with ease, you’ll know exactly how much you can spend to acquire new customers safely. You can dive into the marketplace of paid ads and put them on repeat. It’s a bit like having a superpower – you’re protected against any market ups and downs, and you’ll keep making sales no matter what.
     
    Now, don’t be scared off by these strategies if you don’t have the greatest budget or all your systems in place yet. They’re the end goal, the stuff we’re always working towards. Just start with connection, and you’ll be on your way to kicking all your business goals.

    We’ll step through:

    Making more frequent offers
    Growing your audience

    #214 - What is a Sales Ecosystem and why do you need one for your course?

    #214 - What is a Sales Ecosystem and why do you need one for your course?

    Have you ever been told that you could be just "one funnel away from a million dollars"?
     
    While this sounds pretty enticing, I’ll be honest with you: it’s just a much-quoted line of BS. The truth is, relying on just one thing for your business is terrible advice.
     
    So, what can you do instead that works easier, better and faster? 
     
    Today, we’ll explore creating a sales ecosystem, which includes these three main components:
     
    Email Engine: The Heartbeat of Your Business
    Social Selling System: Engaging Your Audience
    Evergreen Launching: Sustaining and Growing
    By integrating these three systems, you can create a resilient sales ecosystem with multiple revenue layers. This approach gives you control, flexibility and peace of mind. 
     
    So, if you’re tired of running on the spot and hoping things work out in your business, give these strategies a try. I guarantee it’ll give you the confidence you need to plan and grow strategically.
