Many entrepreneurs assume that increasing their marketing efforts will increase sales. However, the reality is that the offer itself plays a significant role in the success of any promotion.

While many entrepreneurs think information alone is enough for a compelling offer, the truth is that value encompasses so much more.

In this week's podcast episode, I'll share five essential elements of a compelling high-value offer.

In this podcast episode, you'll discover

✅ Why the difference between high-ticket and high-value offers matters
✅ Why information is no longer enough to attract new clients
✅ Why your client's success rate increases with a high-value offer
✅ Why selling your high-value offer opens new sales opportunities
✅ Why your client's success rate increases with a high-value offer

You may be one degree away from transforming your business results. Minor product and marketing adjustments can help you create a sustainable business.

About Steve Reiter

He spent 12+ years working on the internationally syndicated radio show, Focus on the Family, where he was overseeing the production team in 2008 when FOTF was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame (beating out Howard Stern, Bob Costas, and Dr. Laura).

He left his award-winning stint in 2010 to help spearhead what ended up being the largest rollout in radio history at Dr. James Dobson's Family Talk, where he was the 2nd employee Dr. Dobson hired. Within 2 years of leaving Family Talk, Steve co-founded the Eternal Leadership podcast, which was named a Top 12 Podcast To Listen To If You Want To Become A Better Leader by Inc Magazine. It was also named a Top 100 Leadership Blog by Feedspot two years in a row.

Most recently, he founded the nonprofit, The NEVER Alone Project. Born out of the forced isolation his 40-year-old wife was forced to endure when she was hospitalized in April & May 2020 (not COVID related) and her subsequent death after 21 days, he created The NEVER Alone Project to address the critical issue of the importance of advocates and loved ones in the lives of anyone facing some kind of medical appointment, procedure, stay, etc. They aim to codify in national law the patient's right to at least one screened visitor per day with no time limits.

If you believe complexity equals value, that's an unhealthy perspective. 

I spent excessive hours complicating my marketing and feeding a social media algorithm that controls my free content.

 Here's what I realized.

• Your skills, experience, and knowledge have unique value and should be seen and heard by many.
• Your time should be invested in a few options rather than exhausted in many trends. 
• Repeating a process with a low return of time or money is insanity. 

 In this podcast episode, I'll share my marketing rebel insights.

• Why are many entrepreneurs busy but not getting anywhere? 
• The true definition of value and why it's worth so much. 
• Why working hard is not enough to grow an online business.  
• Why you're not enough and what you can do about it. 
• Optional ways to grow your email list that don't require ads, social media, or email campaigns
