331 Coaching Call: Advice for a Farmer in their First Year


Listen Later

Ever wonder what it's really like inside one of my monthly FMS coaching calls?

In this episode, you'll listen in on a real strategy session with a first-year chicken & egg farm business. We dig into their sales funnel, troubleshoot the sticking points, and uncover where the energy (and growth potential) really lives.

Inside this call, we cover:

  • What's clogging the sales pipeline in their direct-to-consumer model

  • How to build a product ladder that bridges the pricing gap

  • Why their quirky Chicken Bingo event is a marketing goldmine

  • Why the fear of running out of product can actually work in your favor
  • Ideas for leveraging social proof, storytelling, and list-building
