Today we’re going to talk about a key step in using leads to build and grow your business.

In recent weeks, we’ve discussed why leads are so crucial for every business. However, lots of people still struggle to set up a system that works.

And here’s the number one reason why they fail. It’s because they didn’t put in the time to build a relationship with their list.

When you’re dealing with cold leads, you NEVER lead with a sale. You can’t expect people will give you money when they know nothing about you or your business. 

A few might but most of them won’t.

This is why nurturing your list is so important and why the true power of leads lies in the follow-up.

For this week, I’m going to share a 14-day email sequence framework that will help you warm up those leads, nurture them, build a relationship, and finally, convert them into sales.

Make sure to watch all the way through because I’m also going to share a little secret about a project I’m currently working on.

Now, let’s jump into the show!

Key Takeaways:

• The secret about what makes leads are so valuable (1:06)
• How to nurture your leads (3:42)
• My 14-day email sequence framework (6:49)
• Day 1: The Soap Opera Sequence (7:52)
• Day 2: The Backstory (9:45)
• Day 3: The Epiphany (10:16)
• Day 4: The Call to Action (11:55)
• Day 5: The Impulse Buy (13:26)
• Day 6: The FAQ (14:26)
• Day 7: The Proof (15:07)
• Day 8: The FOMO (17:11)
• Day 9: The Feedback (19:06)
• Day 10: The Three Secrets (21:10)
• Day 11: The FAQ #2 (21:26)
• Day 12: The Proof #2 (21:53)
• Day 13: The FOMO #2 (22:45)
• Day 14: The Feedback #2 (23:34)
• Is it possible to make a million bucks just from follow-up? (25:34)

Can surveys help you set up a million-dollar business?

Last week, I explained why surveys are the single best way to level up your business, acquire leads, and stand out from the crowd.

Making tough decisions is a part of life. It’s just that some take a much bigger toll than others.

Last week, I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my adult life. 

I know this year has been pretty rough on everyone, and we all can't wait for it to end. For my family, it’s ending on a sad note.

About a month ago, our dog Cody, who has been with our family for 16 amazing years, was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. And a little over a week ago, his health started deteriorating rapidly.

He was really hurting, which put us in the position of having to ask ourselves a deeply heartbreaking question. 

How do you know if and when should you euthanize your beloved animal companion?

Since it’s a very personal topic, I won’t be going into too much detail. But I also feel it’s a story I need to share.

We all face tough decisions in life at one time or another. These kinds of gut-wrenching experiences are devastating, but they can also teach us plenty - if we can find the strength and the courage to learn.

Today, I’m going to share with you the 5 lessons I’ve learned from all this. 

If anyone out there is facing a similarly hard decision - I hope this episode finds you well.

Key Takeaways:

• A different kind of episode (0:00)
• The story of how Alli and I got Cody (5:00)
• Learning about Cody’s heart condition (10:02)
• Facing the devastating question of euthanasia (14:08)
• Lesson #1: How to make hard decisions (20:07)
• Lesson #2: About the grieving process (21:33)
• Lesson #3: Stages of grief (23:18)
• Lesson #4: When does the sadness go away? (28:26)
• Lesson #5: Why you should never let fear of loss stop you (35:38)
• Summarizing the five lessons (39:16)
• Closing thoughts about the power of mindset (49:43)

When I was a kid, I used to go to the movies with my friends all the time. And we had this little trick, where, after it ended, we’d sneak into another theater so we could watch the last 20-30 minutes of a different movie.

Later, when I would watch that same movie from beginning to end, knowing the ending completely changed the entire experience. 

Watching the story unfold in a different direction gave me a lot more insight into the movie structure itself.

So what does starting a business and watching a movie in reverse have in common?

For us, it was all about having fun and watching as many movies as we possibly could. 

I realize now that this is also an excellent method for learning about the best way to develop a roadmap for your brand new business.

Great entrepreneurs start at the end and work their way back.

When you define an ending, you also give your journey a powerful sense of direction. And when you know how the story ends, it’s a lot easier to work your way back to the beginning and map out all the steps you need to go through before getting to where you want to go.

Today’s episode is dedicated to all entrepreneurs out there who are feeling a bit stuck. I hope this trick will help you get moving again!

Key Takeaways:

• Things you can learn from watching a movie in reverse (1:03)
• Why your business needs a roadmap (3:57)
• How to build a roadmap for your new business (7:35)
• Why ALL great entrepreneurs start at the end (11:59)
• The main reason why good products fail (14:03)
• What does the end of your movie look like? (18:32)
• One of the biggest challenges I’ve had with SurveyDetective (20:50)
• Pick an ending that works for what you’re trying to accomplish (23:22)
• What's to learn from mapping out other people’s success stories (26:29)
