    Episode 412: From Attraction to Retention: Building Client Loyalty Through a Mastermind Group with Jay Fairbrother

    What if you could keep your clients engaged, loyal and paying for at least three years, instead of struggling with a revolving door of short-term clients? For many entrepreneurs, retention can be a significant challenge, and end up chasing more clients instead of relying on consistent revenue. The answer might lie in hosting mastermind groups, which elevate the traditional group coaching model by fostering a deeper synergy amongst participants.

    Episode 411: How to Book 10 Ideal Speaking Gigs in the Next 90 Days with Leisa Reid

    Would booking more speaking gigs in the next 90 days be helpful to attracting new clients?  Sharing your message as a speaker, whether on stages in front of a crowd of 50, or virtually to thousands, is one of the best strategies to land new clients. Not only is speaking a proven approach to attracting ideal clients, if done strategically, every opportunity to speak could literally become 3 - 5 new invitations to share your message in new audiences. When approached strategically, sharing your message from the stage can accelerate building trust and rapport, but it also quickly demonstrates where your expertise can solve a costly problem. The key lies in aligning yourself with the right audience, message, and offer, while also forming meaningful relationships within the speaking community to unlock a plethora of opportunities that go beyond traditional methods. But, many expert entrepreneurs have discovered - getting invitations to speak isn’t as easy as it once was, and those coveted few spots to showcase their expertise are in high demand with their competitors too. On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 411, Leisa Reid, founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now and CEO of the International Speaker Network, shares her expertise in transforming public speaking into a successful business building technique.  Leisa unpacks her "speaker soulmate" concept, emphasizing the power of community and networking in expanding speaking opportunities. She also highlights the importance of curating presentations to fit one's target audience and building trusting relationships to ensure an ongoing and sustainable speaking career. Join Melanie Benson and Leisa Reid as they dive into practical tips and personal insights to help you secure those ideal speaking engagements and amplify your success. Key Takeaways: 05:36 Why speaking is a great way to grow your business as an expert or a coach or thought leader. 07:25 How speaking on stages (live or virtual) increases trust and shortens the sales cycle so that people say yes to your offers.  11:29 Why paying for gigs is not always going to guarantee ROI, and how to vet opportunities to align expectations with actual outcomes.  14:04 How to land speaking gigs without cold calls or emails.  19:02 When saying NO is more beneficial and how to vet opportunities that align with your core objectives. 24:46 What speaker bookers are looking for and how to stand out from the competition.  31:44 How to significantly open doors for event invitations and collaboration offers. 37:17 Why embracing bold decisions, such as leaving behind a familiar and comfortable safety net, can be a transformative and empowering experience.   Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Want speaking gigs?

    Episode 410: 5 Business Planning Strategies for Expansive Growth

    Does the idea of creating a plan for your business growth make you feel overwhelmed? Do you think about planning, but never seem to have the time to get your ideas out of your head and into a project plan? Planning can feel like a big project, but if you have simple planning techniques in place, you can lay the groundwork to keep your cash flowing, clients enrolling and actually achieving bold growth goals. But if you choose to skip the planning phase, you may find yourself chasing the next sale to make your monthly goals. Not to mention that horrible feeling of being stuck and confused about what steps to take next.  Growth chaos often stems from a lack of planning, which ultimately stems from a lack of clarity.  I've seen it happen to myself and my clients: when there's a lack of planning, there is more stress and a constant scramble to figure out what to do next. But when you blend intention with strategy, you create a roadmap to success, allowing you and your team to direct focus and energy effectively.  In episode 410 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I'm sharing five transformative business planning strategies that can lay the groundwork for expansive growth in 2025. I'll guide you through developing a visibility strategy, identifying authority positioners, and fine-tuning your offers. I'll also explain the concept of sales triggers and how these pivotal conversion events can move your audience from mere interest to enthusiastic engagement. Finally, I'll dive into the power of intentional collaborations and how a strategic approach to partnerships can elevate your business to new heights. Whether you're planning out the next quarter or the entire year, applying these five business planning strategies will set the stage for your next level of success.    Key Takeaways:  01:18 What to do when you resist planning and just want freedom 03:55 The 80/20 rule of planning that lessens the overwhelm and increases results  05:13 The importance of planning a visibility strategy to improve audience reach and engagement 07:18 Creating authority positions to become the go-to expert when someone needs that speaker or solution. 09:02 The step you can’t miss if you want to hit your revenue goals 12:01 How to utilize sales triggers to fill your pipeline and meet sales goals 13:50 How to create a collaboration strategy to avoid stressful launches and lead generation overwhelm (you don’t have to go it alone)   Resources Mentioned in This Episode:   FREE DOWNLOAD: Get my proven 7 Step Framework and learn how to tap into Million-Dollar visibility streams Private VIP Day Coaching With Melanie https://melaniebenson.com/strategyday
