Business Building Rockstar Sessions

Gavin shares that there are many benefits to using an online scheduling tool.

It can help you nurture your client relationships more effectively than without because it removes the need for frustrating back-and-forth that goes along with the traditional scheduling process.

Having an automated, online booking system means that you’re essentially open to scheduling appointments 24/7 which means clients can book when it’s convenient for them, plus it gives them the freedom to cancel or reschedule as needed without involving you.

Another benefit is being able to set automatic reminders to increase your client’s show-up rate and when you set your system up to accept payment, it also simplifies the delivery process. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@niczthename/gavin-zuchlinski-on-how-to-get-your-calendar-un?auid=aGmaRW5c

Tom’s not attempting to set the Guinness World Record for the Most Interviewed Person in Podcasting just for the fun of it. As a business owner, he knows that podcast guesting pays off!

By being interviewed on the right podcasts, you get instant positioning as an expert in front of a brand new audience of potential clients and customers.

Before the interview, make sure you know who you’re talking to, what you’re talking about, what their problems are, how you can solve them, and how they can take a next step with you.

Weave in stories during your interview and make sure you’re providing great value.

Having a well-designed strategy in place will help you effortlessly convert listeners into leads. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@niczthename/tom-schwab-on?auid=aGmaRW5c

Building a Facebook group strategically takes time and effort but it takes no time at all to actually create so don’t procrastinate, claiming that you aren’t ready!

Stu explains that there's an unlimited amount of free information available, and that too much information creates confusion and overwhelm.

That’s where membership groups come in.

They can solve your market’s problem of overwhelm and confusion by allowing you to deliver real value and support.

They also provide an opportunity to create community, which is often the most attractive thing about membership groups -- both to the group's members and to you as the facilitator.

In order to have a successful membership group, you have to really understand why people are there. It's not about the amount of content. It's about your ability to make your members happy. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@niczthename/stu-mclaren-on?auid=aGmaRW5c

Marisa is making waves in the information industry by revealing how what's commonly taught is fundamentally flawed.

With typical completion rates for online courses and programs of only 3%, Marisa's discovered how to flip things upside down and engage 95% of her students using a shift in mindset, marketing, and delivery that she calls her Experience Product Formula.

She explains that by first identifying the mission of your product, you’ll be able to set clear milestones and outcomes that are achievable by your students.

People want to win! And the more you are able to help them win, the deeper you build their trust, your authority, and their loyalty which over time translates to a truly recurring revenue stream. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@niczthename/marisa-murgatroyd-on?auid=aGmaRW5c

According to Marie, Joint Ventures are simply collaborations with others for a mutually beneficial purpose and experience.

There are countless different ways that you can implement joint Joint Ventures into your business from creating programs with partners, workshops, events, promoting other people’s content, or participating in a production like a podcast or a summit.

Collaboration over competition is the most empowered way to view the marketplace and it allows you to capitalize on the audience that other people in your space have curated, while also providing something of value to those who specialize in your area.

Because everybody has a different personality and a different style, different clients and customers will resonate with different service providers and by creating a joint venture situation, entrepreneurs with similar values are able to share in the profits from a larger section of the market. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@niczthename/marie-grace-berg-on?auid=aGmaRW5c

Apryl explains that the only virtual asset you own is your email list. That’s why it's so important to build relationships with your subscribers.

Make sure to condition your audience for a give-and-take relationship by always putting a call to action in your message. Consistency can take you right up to the top or can simply kill your biz.

You need to communicate with your subscribers in a relatable voice and be sure to humanize your messages, rather than treating people like numbers. Email marketing is easiest when you write as if you're having a one-on-one conversation with your bestie.

Always have something to say in your emails, even if it isn’t about business. People love stories and when you weave your message into stories, people feel engaged and will follow what you say. | Show notes: https://awesound.com/@niczthename/apryl-beverly-on?auid=aGmaRW5c
