State Of Client Acquisition

Ep. 45 - Sell First. Then Build


Listen Later

Once a month I hear that ominous music...

When the hero walks down the steps into the basement, candle in hand. 👻🐺😱😱😱

And I think NOOOOOOO!


That’s the feeling I get when a prospect tells me he’s working on his course or coaching program. (oddly enough it’s only been MEN so far).


There’s 3 good reasons you should SELL FIRST BEFORE BUILDING the damn thing.


✅ Saving Time: You avoid over-building and creating irrelevant parts

✅ Customer Insight: You build only what the client really needs.

✅ Focus on What Matters Most: Revenue. Because building is fun and can be a wonderful source of procrastination. Selling, on the other hand, is hard.


Now you may say “but how can I deliver something I haven’t built yet?”


The answer? You position it as a concierge product, i.e. the client gets MASSIVE additional value by getting a level of access to you later clients won’t.
