One of the most powerful ways to transform tragedy and heal from trauma is to start a movement that can positively impact the lives of millions of people all over the world.

Wouldn’t it be helpful if you could go behind the scenes to see what’s REALLY working right now to transform leads into paying clients? Every entrepreneur and online business owner has heard how important it is to have a podcast and host webinars.

But most business owners end up with lurkers -- dormant leads that hang about on their email list or just scroll through your social media feed and don’t take action.

If these popular authority positioning strategies aren’t working for you right now, should you ditch it and try something else?

If you’ve hosted a webinar that got “meh” attendance and felt disappointed by the sales…

Or wonder how you’ll be able to monetize your podcast since you don’t have a lot of downloads…

 

Then Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 249 is going to turn the light bulb on so that you can finally transform your dormant social media leads and email subscribers into new paying clients.

Join us in the Amplify Your Authority Facebook Group and share what works for you.

Key Takeaways

  • [1:08] Go behind the scenes to learn first-hand what worked during a recent program offering (and some cool new stuff like our newly rebranded website!)
  • [2:05] What a sales trigger is and why you need one to activate dormant leads.
  • [4:22] How to get the gold out of a lead generation strategy, even if it doesn’t perform the way you imagined

Webinars are an important part of your marketing strategy -- not only do they educate your audience on your offers, but they also position the entrepreneur as an authority and can reach an audience across the globe.

Webinars have been popular for many years, but not every business owner is effective with them. If you give too much value,  you’ll often give the audience the feeling that they know what to do (and then they don’t buy.) But if you don’t give enough value, the audience screams “too salesy” and won’t buy.

What’s the right balance of giving great value and inspiring your ideal clients to buy?

On Amplify Your Success Podcast episode 247, my guest Jon Schumacher joins me to share the secret to creating webinars that actually attract ideal clients and sell them into solutions they need. This episode will help you tweak your webinar and make it 100 times more effective.

Be sure to join the conversation in the Amplify Your Authority Group.

 

Key Takeaways

  • Why webinars are a critical part of your marketing strategy
  • Two of the big mistakes people make when designing and delivering their webinars.
  • The 4 part content formula to teach on a webinar.
  • Jon’s thoughts on automated vs live webinars.
