This is a special episode which contains highlights of a conversation I had with copywriter Neal Samudre. This was originally intended for high-end clients of ProCoach, but the content was so good (and so flexible), I'm releasing it via RED Podcast. The conversation centers around how to get more clients and build rapport via a five-step (and automated) email sequence. As this was something originally intended for coaches and consultants, getting more clients is what I focused many of the examples on. This five-step sequence is very flexible though and will work for a number of things including getting more podcast subscribers, webinar viewers, and live event attendees. This five-step sequence is something you can launch today! You'll benefit from listening to this. You'll also want a pen and paper to take notes. In This Episode: Want people to stay on your mailing list? The first email you must send when they sign up... The essential action you want new mailing list subscribers to take immediately -- you must ask for this! Building rapport with people on your mailing list How to share your story in a way that helps you sell more Want more of your emails to be read?

You've likely already seen this marketing technique in action... -- I'll show you how to use it for your business. Luke Skywalker vs. Darth Vader (and how it applies to your business) The real value of podcasting for coaches and consultants How to get more people to sign up for your webinar Transitioning your emails from information to a pitch for your services... Have trouble selling things via email? This single line of text within the email you send will give you the confidence you need to ask for the sale (and get paid what you're worth) Single?

Do you enjoy rap music? If so, you've probably heard a lot of songs about "struggle and strife." I'm not saying rich and famous rappers don't have problems, but what they talk about in their music of often a lot different from how they live their lives... The same is true for entrepreneurs when it comes to "hustle." What we see on YouTube, Facebook, and other social media outlets isn't always what's happening behind the scenes. So let's get honest about what it really looks like and talk about better options for you to get your work done... In This Episode: Why not all "work" is the same A lifetime of work in 15 minutes... The letter U and the number 2 Is "hustle" a fetish? CHRISTIAN PORN?! Yes. (And they're showing it at church services!) "And then I found Jesus..." Why so many musicians end up on drugs (and so many others kill themselves) What real hustle looks like Have you written too many books?
