    315. The $50K “Sold Out Party” Strategy With a 90% Close Rate

    In this data-rich case study, we examine how marketing coach Michelle Vroom sold out a brand new program in 30 days with a 90% close rate. Michelle’s tested strategy that powered this $50K launch? Hosting a private “Sold Out Party” for her warmest leads (existing clients in her program), where repeat clients claimed half the seats before the offer even went public. By testing her messaging with this inner circle, Michelle uncovered she was targeting the wrong buyers, and a single shift helped her attract premium clients from this existing group who paid in full and closed fast. Once opened to the public, the rest of the seats were filled through another simple content strategy — no formal launch, sales page, or funnel required.

    314. $17.5K in 72 Hours: Launching Exclusively Through Close Friends on Instagram Stories

    Today’s case study is one of the most creative launch strategies we’ve covered this year. Brittany Roberts sold out a new VIP group program and generated $17,500 in revenue in 72 hours through Instagram’s Close Friends feature. Here’s how it worked: over 250 people opted into a three-day private training series by requesting to be added to Brittany’s Close Friends on Instagram, and then tuned in daily to her Instagram stories. At the end of the 3 day mini-series, she pitched her offer only to that Close Friends list. No public posts or email sequences. With buying cycles getting longer and traditional launch strategies like webinars and 7-10 days of follow-up sales emails leaving entrepreneurs burnt out, Brittany’s results show what’s possible when you simplify your sales process, create proximity and exclusivity with your audience, and strategically position free content to lead to your paid solution.

    312. How the “Hot 100” Method Generated $100K in 6 Months (Content-Free Growth)

    After leaving her corporate career to start a coaching and consulting business, Brianca Johnson Kirkman wanted a lean, high-impact growth strategy that could generate trust — and clients — fast. In her first six months, she crossed six figures in revenue without a team, paid ads, or social posting, thanks to her self-created Hot 100 Method: a focused visibility strategy built on intentionally nurturing 100 highly aligned people in her network through personalized outreach, generous visibility, and invitation-based selling. This relationship-first approach converted 15% of her initial Hot 100 into paying clients. In her current round, that conversion rate has climbed to 22% with a higher-ticket offer, more targeted connections, and the strategic use of case studies and referral testimonials to close deals. If you’re looking for a repeatable, high-conversion growth engine that doesn’t require audience building or burning out on content, you’ll want to hear how Brianca’s Hot 100 Method keeps delivering six-figure results.

    Bonus #73: In-person Clinic to Online Clicks: The “Sexy Niche” That Built a $1.6M Personal Brand Without 10K Followers

    Dr. Lauryn Brunclik didn’t rest on the success of her seven figure chiropractic clinic, instead building something even bigger alongside it. In this episode, she shares how launching a podcast helped her stop relying solely on new patient bookings and start growing a personal brand that’s generated over $1.6 million online (long before she ever hit 10,000 followers.) With over 1,000 podcast downloads in the first week of her show launch with a brand new Instagram account, Lauryn quickly proved that audience size isn’t everything when it comes to building a brand that converts. Today she breaks down: Why most service providers flop when they try to bring their in-person niche online What a “sexy niche” actually is (and why it matters more than your follower count) All of the revenue streams that make up her personal brand If you’re building a business both offline and online, this episode will show you what actually moves the needle—without starting from scratch.

    311. How Customer Storytelling 5X’d Roadster’s Sales Pipeline and Led to a $360M Acquisition

    When Michelle Denogean joined Roadster as CMO, the company had a great product—but no one knew who they were or why their solution mattered. Digital retailing in the automotive space was still emerging, and skeptical dealerships weren’t ready to dive into their innovative model. Eighteen months later, Roadster had grown its sales pipeline 5X, slashed its sales cycle by 25%, and increased branded search volume by 10X. Not only that—it was acquired by the largest tech company in auto retail for $360 million. So, what changed? Michelle led a full-scale strategic rebrand that prioritized education, positioned Roadster as the industry authority, and rebuilt alignment between sales and marketing teams to boost conversion. In today’s case study, this six-time CMO (currently at Mindtrip), author of GrowUp!, and now startup advisor reveals how she built a category-defining brand and used customer-led storytelling, non-social media driven influencer strategy, and omnichannel thought leadership to 10X business. If you're trying to disrupt your industry, this is the blueprint.
