Jay got a rare chance to dig into exactly how Amy Porterfield gets such ridiculously high value—and sky-high conversions—from her webinars, bootcamps, and intimate in-person events. And she doesn’t hold back. From rethinking your promo timing to why “masterclass” beats “webinar,” she shares the specific tactics she uses to drive results without burning out her audience. Jay Schwedelson is all in on her playbook, and after this, you might be too.
