Speaker:

Hello, and welcome back to the podcast.

2

:

Honestly, it feels a little strange

to say that because I'm currently.

3

:

Batching the first sort of episodes.

4

:

So the podcast really doesn't

exist at this point and no one

5

:

has listened to anything, but.

6

:

I guess that is just the reality

of creating things online.

7

:

Right.

8

:

So today I want to dive a little deeper

into one of the points that I mentioned

9

:

in our previous episode, which is the

one that was titled the three mistakes

10

:

you're making when trying to scale.

11

:

Or maybe it has a similar name, as I

said, Nothing is out at the moment.

12

:

But in that podcast

episode, I spoke about.

13

:

One of those mistakes, being that

I see people are going too wide in

14

:

their business before they go deep.

15

:

And what I mean by that is that I see

a lot of people who create a lot of

16

:

offers really quickly before they have

really mastered one of their offers.

17

:

And I am a very strong believer that

having a signature offer and nailing one

18

:

thing before you expand your office suite.

19

:

Is much more beneficial and supportive

of growing your business in a

20

:

way that feels really spacious.

21

:

And isn't going to leave

you feeling burnt out.

22

:

And as I mentioned in that previous

episode, I feel like this idea

23

:

that we need to have all of

these offers in order to grow.

24

:

Comes from the idea that you need

to have an Ascension model in

25

:

order to have a big business and.

26

:

If you don't already know, essential

models are just a model of business

27

:

where you have different offers

for people at various stages of the

28

:

journey that you support them on.

29

:

So someone who is just a beginner,

someone who is intermediate,

30

:

someone who is more advanced and.

31

:

I'm not saying that there's anything

wrong with having an Ascension

32

:

model in business, they can be

like really effective and,, Really

33

:

profitable, but I think we can.

34

:

Get ourselves.

35

:

We can think that we need to do

that before we're ready to, like,

36

:

we might not even have the skills to

build out all of these offers yet.

37

:

We're just thinking that's what we

need to do in order to be successful.

38

:

So., I want to dive into this

concept of going really deep

39

:

with one offer into this episode.

40

:

And I'm going to do that by

speaking about, I guess, three

41

:

little mini case studies from

clients that I have supported.

42

:

And so all three of these clients have

made over a hundred thousand dollars

43

:

in their business from one single

offer in various different ways.

44

:

So I'm going to kind of provide you

a bit of context for each client and.

45

:

Then I'm just going to speak to the

similarities of strategies and like

46

:

insights that I feel have helped

them achieve that level of success.

47

:

Okay.

48

:

So client one has made multiple times,

but over a hundred thousand dollars

49

:

from a single launch of their offer.

50

:

So.

51

:

They have launched this offer.

52

:

Well, they've done this across two

different offers and across these two

53

:

offers, they've had $100,000 launches.

54

:

Client two has made over $200,000 in.

55

:

Like just over a year, like 13 months from

one offer being launched multiple times.

56

:

And then client three has

made almost $300,000 over

57

:

two years from the one offer.

58

:

So there are three like kind of

different variations of making a

59

:

large amount of money from just

one offer in their business.

60

:

And.

61

:

These clients do have other

offers in their business as well.

62

:

However, they have been in

business for quite a long time.

63

:

And they have taken the time to really go

deep with their one core signature offer

64

:

before they have like focused on expanding

in other areas of their business.

65

:

Okay.

66

:

So I'm going to dive into all of the

different strategies and insights

67

:

and just some reflections that I have

about these three different clients

68

:

and the success that they have created.

69

:

And like I said, I'm going

to just speak generally, not

70

:

like specific to each client.

71

:

Cause there are definitely

a lot of similarities here.

72

:

And before I started diving into

the ease, I think I've got four

73

:

or five Topics to kind of touch on

something I want to say first is that.

74

:

If you are hearing these

numbers and you're thinking,

75

:

wow, That's really incredible.

76

:

Why can't I do that?

77

:

Like, why am I not seeing that success?

78

:

I want you to know that all

of these clients have been

79

:

in business for a long time.

80

:

They have been growing their skillset

and having like the inevitable

81

:

challenges and like flopped launches

and things that just don't work out.

82

:

All of those things had to happen

before they were able to see this

83

:

level of success in their business.

84

:

And I just, I don't want you to

listen to this episode and think

85

:

I'm doing something wrong, or like,

I'm not able to get that result.

86

:

I've been doing this for a year or

two years, and I'm not seeing that.

87

:

What am I doing wrong?

88

:

Because.

89

:

Like these clients have been.

90

:

Working for so long in each

of their respective areas.

91

:

And.

92

:

It's definitely not something that

has happened overnight for them.

93

:

And it takes a continuous refinement

and effort and tweaking of

94

:

strategies to get to this place.

95

:

So, I'm going to dive into all

of these different topics now.

96

:

So the first thing that I

want to touch on is that.

97

:

With all of these clients and

like all of the launches involved.

98

:

Particularly the first

time we launched the offer.

99

:

We took the time to plan it out

and we didn't rush the process.

100

:

So.

101

:

This was like a really intentional

offer for all of my clients in that.

102

:

They knew when they were in the process

of creating the offer and coming up

103

:

with what our launch strategy would be.

104

:

We knew that this offer would

be forming a like critical piece

105

:

within their business suite, right?

106

:

In their office suite.

107

:

It was something that

would be a signature offer.

108

:

It would be there to last something

that they knew that they were going to

109

:

continuously pour their time and effort

into to make it work because it is.

110

:

I guess like a real culmination

of their work and their

111

:

knowledge and their experience.

112

:

And it was important to them.

113

:

To give the offer the time

to come to like full clarity.

114

:

And so for some clients that meant that,

like they had the idea of the offer.

115

:

And they just sat on it

for like six to 12 months.

116

:

And I don't mean sat on it

as in like, they didn't take.

117

:

Any action.

118

:

And they put it on the back burner.

119

:

They just knew that they didn't

have the full clarity on it

120

:

at that point to act on it.

121

:

And so they let it kind of brew.

122

:

They were always it was always in

their awareness and something that

123

:

was kind of being worked on, but it

wasn't something that was rushed.

124

:

And I think that.

125

:

I actually sent an email

to my list on this today.

126

:

And I think that's something that is

really common in the online space is

127

:

the glorification of like really quick

results and quick action in there.

128

:

Like, at least this

has been my experience.

129

:

I see a lot of content around people

like, oh my God, I just had this idea

130

:

and I'm going to launch it tomorrow.

131

:

And then Like I've made $25,000 in a day.

132

:

And like all of these big claims and

big wins saying that something has

133

:

been like, You know, like they just

got the download and acted on it and

134

:

everything like happened so perfectly.

135

:

And whilst I'm not saying that that's

not true for some people, of course, that

136

:

is the experience that some people have.

137

:

I just don't think that is like normal nor

do I think it is something that we should.

138

:

Aim for, because.

139

:

There's so much that is problematic

with like, We're rushing into things

140

:

without taking the time to really.

141

:

To really get clear on it and to do the

work that needs to be done to ensure

142

:

that it is something that is going to be

supportive of the way that you want to

143

:

show up in business and the way that you.

144

:

Value supporting your clients, but.

145

:

Yeah.

146

:

Okay.

147

:

I've gone on a bit of a ramble

there, but we took the time and

148

:

it was an intentional process and

we weren't like rushed about it.

149

:

Right.

150

:

So there was no like sense of

urgency, like, oh my God, I need to.

151

:

Launch this tomorrow, it was like

a really intentional process.

152

:

And so that looked like sitting

with the idea of the offer for a

153

:

while, until it was fully clear.

154

:

It looked like doing market

research and getting clear on.

155

:

Is this something people actually want.

156

:

And need me to offer them.

157

:

Or is it like something that I.

158

:

Need to clarify the way that I'm

speaking about it, because it's not

159

:

resonating with people, but I know

it is something that they want.

160

:

Desire need, et cetera.

161

:

And then we also.

162

:

Took the time with planning out the

launch of the actual offer as well.

163

:

It wasn't just like, Hey,

I'm launching this tomorrow.

164

:

Like I said, it was, we got clear on what

that launch strategy would look like.

165

:

What's worked really well

in their business before.

166

:

Where can we.

167

:

Take aspects of previous launches

and inject it into this new launch

168

:

and see what is going to work.

169

:

And so we really took our time with

getting clear on how we wanted the launch

170

:

to feel what we thought was going to work.

171

:

And then, , taking the time to make sure

we were looking at that whole launch

172

:

experience, the whole client experience

that is required with delivering the

173

:

offer and making sure that we had

everything prepared before we went into.

174

:

Launch so that we weren't scrambling

during the end of the launch, trying

175

:

to get everything ready so that we

can actually deliver on the offer.

176

:

And also knowing what it looked like.

177

:

Post-launch right.

178

:

Like what was going to

happen once the doors close?

179

:

Where are we going to be

sending people to a wait list?

180

:

Where are we going to be delivering?

181

:

, or selling this on evergreen, did

we have like a down sale strategy in

182

:

place for another offer after this one?

183

:

And so getting clear on all

of those things and taking

184

:

the time to plan those out.

185

:

Really made for a launch that

was a lot less stressful.

186

:

, which I think is really

important, especially if you are.

187

:

Wanting to see.

188

:

, You know, like big numbers in your

launch, which there's nothing wrong with

189

:

desiring to have a really financial.

190

:

Positive financial launch.

191

:

Right.

192

:

But we need to make sure that we're

setting ourselves up for that.

193

:

So that is the first one is really

taking the time to plan it all

194

:

out and not falling into the trap

of feeling like everything needs

195

:

to happen within two minutes.

196

:

Okay.

197

:

And the second thing that I want

to touch on is we, weren't afraid

198

:

to make changes both to the offer

itself and to our launch strategy.

199

:

And so.

200

:

This is something that I

201

:

That I really want to emphasize on.

202

:

I think there is like a fine

balance when it comes to pivoting

203

:

and changing things in our business

and also seeing them through.

204

:

I often think that if we're not

immediately seeing the results that

205

:

we want to, we can be really quick to

change things up rather than just like

206

:

sticking to it and not making decisions

that are wholly based on our emotions.

207

:

If we're feeling like.

208

:

, you know, our ego is a little

bruise from not seeing immediate

209

:

results and things like that.

210

:

But in saying that is that we also really

want to make sure that we're looking at

211

:

the data we're tuning into how things

are like truly feeling below any.

212

:

Like conditioning and stories that

might be running rampant in our mind.

213

:

And if we need to make a change from

there, then not be afraid to change things

214

:

up because sometimes you just don't know

what is going to work until it's up and

215

:

running until you're actually in it.

216

:

And.

217

:

Within that experience.

218

:

And so for, , these three

clients in particular, this.

219

:

Played out in many ways, like changing

the structure of the offer, obviously.

220

:

, Within what was like reasonable

for people that had purchased or in

221

:

the next launch, we kind of changed

the way that things were made.

222

:

Sure.

223

:

That was really clearly

communicated because obviously

224

:

if people had been around for.

225

:

The first launch and we

were changing things up.

226

:

We wanted to make sure that

we were clearly communicating.

227

:

What's included what that looks

like, what the structure is.

228

:

And then the, we introduced new things.

229

:

We kept new things.

230

:

We took them out.

231

:

, it also looked like changing the

tech, like once things were up and

232

:

running, like moving people from one

platform to another, which, , you

233

:

know, it is annoying, but if it means

that people are going to have a much

234

:

smoother experience and that little.

235

:

, That little inconvenience

is not a big deal.

236

:

If we can make the whole process smooth.

237

:

And so.

238

:

Yeah, this is a really short one,

but I think we don't, we need to

239

:

like find the balance between not

being afraid to make changes and

240

:

pivot, especially like in public.

241

:

Right.

242

:

Because sometimes we can be mid-launch

we have like one messaging angle.

243

:

It's not landing.

244

:

It's not feeling right for us.

245

:

And sometimes we don't like.

246

:

It's going to be more beneficial to change

that messaging mid-launch change things

247

:

up rather than just like sticking it out

or, , even worse, like not showing up

248

:

because we feel like it's not working.

249

:

, but finding that balance between

being ready and being okay to pivot

250

:

and change things, but then also

not doing it so hastily that we are.

251

:

Changing things up before we

actually have the chance to collect

252

:

enough data, to make an informed

decision, to make those changes.

253

:

Okay.

254

:

And the next thing that I want

to touch on is having different

255

:

levels of access for the same.

256

:

Offer.

257

:

And this is something

that, , well actually I guess

258

:

all of my clients did to some.

259

:

In some way.

260

:

And I think this is a really smart

way to increase your launch revenue

261

:

and your like average spend per

person, depending on how you do this.

262

:

So what this looked like is two

out of the three clients had two

263

:

separate tiers for their offer.

264

:

They had one that was kind

of like a more general tier.

265

:

And then another one that had

more intimate access and deeper

266

:

support within the same container.

267

:

Right.

268

:

So it wasn't like a completely separate.

269

:

Container the group was a hole,

but then there was, , a portion of

270

:

that group that had more intimate

access to the business owner.

271

:

And, , the premise of this

is that they would get more.

272

:

Like a more deeper, more deeper.

273

:

A deeper transformation and more

support in integrating that.

274

:

And so this obviously meant that that

higher tier was at a higher price point.

275

:

And for two, two out of the three.

276

:

Clients that did this, their higher tier.

277

:

And brought in over 50.

278

:

Percent of the income, but the proportion

of people that signed up to that was

279

:

probably like less than 15% of the.

280

:

Total number of people

in the offer itself.

281

:

Hopefully that makes sense, but it just

meant that a smaller group of people were

282

:

bringing in the majority of the income.

283

:

And I think.

284

:

If you think about , if you have

an existing group offer or if you

285

:

have an offer that you're kind of

percolating on and you think about cool.

286

:

If I want to make a

hundred thousand dollars.

287

:

From that new divide, a hundred K by the

price of your offer, you might be thinking

288

:

like, wow, that's a really big number.

289

:

And maybe that feels overwhelming.

290

:

Maybe you don't know if you can

hold space for that many people.

291

:

Maybe you don't know if

you actually have the.

292

:

Right audience, where you can convert

that amount of people into your offer.

293

:

That I think having a tear, that

level of access, where it is

294

:

a limited amount of people can

come in at a higher price point.

295

:

It allows you to really boost your revenue

from your launch, but still maintaining.

296

:

, a smaller number of number

of people in that group.

297

:

And so that's what two out

of, three of my clients did.

298

:

And the other client had, More of like

an author bunk, where they could add on.

299

:

, like a one-to-one session.

300

:

So, , it wasn't a more intimate group.

301

:

It was just an add-on, but it meant

that they still got the same results of

302

:

having a bit more intimate access and more

support in integrating the transformation

303

:

that was being delivered in the offer.

304

:

And obviously we boosted

the, , the average.

305

:

, sales about you per person

by doing that as well.

306

:

Okay.

307

:

And the last thing that

I want to touch on.

308

:

So two out of three of my clients who

have launched their offer multiple times

309

:

over the space of one to two years.

310

:

, so we've had, I think maybe

like, One of them has had full

311

:

launches and the other one has had.

312

:

Three launches.

313

:

We played around with

our open cart strategy.

314

:

Right.

315

:

And so it doesn't mean that , if we're

continuously launching the same thing,

316

:

it just means that we're doing the same

conversion event over and over again.

317

:

We've got the same messaging.

318

:

We're talking about the same thing, which

, You know, might feel really boring.

319

:

And that definitely wasn't the case.

320

:

We really played around with the

different angles that we were

321

:

taking in our messaging and what our

overall OpenCart launch strategy was.

322

:

And so.

323

:

There are several

different reasons for this.

324

:

, first of all, we were taking in data

that we had received from previous

325

:

launches, seeing what worked and

what didn't work, and then tweaking

326

:

out strategy moving forward.

327

:

Second of all, we were really

mindful of the season of life that

328

:

each of those clients were in and

what their capacity was to show up.

329

:

, all three of my clients that I'm

speaking to here are parents.

330

:

They have children, they are very

active in their community and they are

331

:

definitely not someone who's like sole.

332

:

Focus of their time goes into work.

333

:

They have other commitments.

334

:

And, , it was really important for

them to not have a launch that felt

335

:

like it was draining their life force.

336

:

Right.

337

:

That it was all they could focus

on whilst they would in that launch.

338

:

And so.

339

:

That meant that some launches

had, , live events and really

340

:

high energy, lots of content.

341

:

And it meant that other

launches were a little bit more.

342

:

Laid back.

343

:

And there was no live conversion events.

344

:

There was only, , you know,

content being put out and we

345

:

utilize their email list and.

346

:

, other, I guess like more evergreen

strategies, but for a live launch.

347

:

And so it was really important for

us to really have a play around.

348

:

And keep in mind what was working

and make these tweaks so that they.

349

:

, felt, I guess like a sense of

fresh energy in each launch, right?

350

:

It didn't feel like they were doing

the same thing over and over again.

351

:

Yeah.

352

:

And so it was really important

for us to be mindful of their

353

:

capacity and their energy and

ensure that we built a launch plan.

354

:

That we still felt was going to be

really,, effective and high converting,

355

:

but it was also really supportive of.

356

:

Their capacity and their season of life.

357

:

And that also meant that, you know,

for those times where they didn't

358

:

have the capacity to show up as

much, we had a longer lead time.

359

:

Like we were being more intentional,

intentional, intentional about

360

:

collecting leads and, , segmenting

their list and things like that further

361

:

in advance than we would have, if it

was something that they were going

362

:

to be able to show up, create more

content, maybe have a live event.

363

:

Et cetera.

364

:

And so.

365

:

Yeah, I think it can be really fun

to like play around with different

366

:

strategies in your launch, especially

if you are creating a signature offer

367

:

and you're planning to launch it over.

368

:

And over again, it doesn't

mean that you have to be.

369

:

I mean, like the same

boring thing over and over.

370

:

And so those are the four, I guess, main

things that I see across all of those.

371

:

Clients.

372

:

And as you can see, that

is a bit of a theme here.

373

:

And that is that we were

super intentional, right?

374

:

We didn't just do something

because it had worked before.

375

:

We didn't do things because we

had seen other people doing them.

376

:

We looked at ways of like creating

their offer, delivering their offer

377

:

and launching their offer that was

going to be supportive to their

378

:

goals, their capacity, and how they

were wanting to show up in business.

379

:

So that is the end of this

episode in perfect timing because

380

:

I have a call in seven minutes.

381

:

So I'm really proud of myself because I'm

normally one of those people that , if I

382

:

have a mid day call on my calendar, then.

383

:

Like the whole morning is

written off and it can't be.

384

:

Productive until that

call is out of the way.

385

:

So I'm proud of myself for getting this.

386

:

, episode filmed and recorded.

387

:

Yeah.

388

:

I will see you in the next one.

389

:

Bye.
