In “Marketing #Unfiltered," you don’t just learn awesome stuff to help you figure out marketing, you get the BTS scoop of building a business — the hilarious, the traumatic, and the “omg thank god I’m not the only one.” Hi! ✋🏻 I’m Sophia Parra and I’m a social media strategist for coaches. For years I ran an agency where I helped multiple six figure and seven figure coaches create content and strategies that build their following and drive traffic to their offers. My guests and I swap biz horror stories AND share notes around the strategies that took things to the next level. I also show up solo twice a week to answer YOUR marketing questions. So if you’re craving a podcast that feels like the perfect mix of biz talk with a coach and a catch up with your friends; grab a margarita and pull up a chair. I’ve got painfully relatable stories to make you laugh (or cry 🤣), and strategies and perspectives that will help you show up consistently and effectively.

    Ep 146 | [FOTW] Is the offer *actually* too expensive or is this a packaging issue?

    Ep 146 | [FOTW] Is the offer *actually* too expensive or is this a packaging issue?

    It’s been awhile since I invited you to be a FLY ON THE WALL of one of our problem solving coaching calls. 
    Today we have 2 coaches: Heidi + Eleni 
    Heidi:

     is a business coach for wedding professionals, she helps them book more weddings & have more freedom & time off.
    She just had a high ticket launch that didn't go to plan. She thought it might be too expensive — and you know what? She totally might be right.
    But I felt it was too early to break it apart and make it less expensive. I felt it could be because the right audience isn’t on her list so this is *actually* a growth issue OR that it could actually be a packaging issue. 

    Listen in as we talk about strategically using surveys and some key shifts I’d make to how she’s positioning this offer. 
    Resources: 
    Here’s the survey mentioned in the call:
