    Having in depth YouTube videos massively helps you get more leads and convert existing leads easier and faster.

  • Ep. 93 - How to Gradually Transition from Generalist to Specialist B2B Consultant

    I have never met a broad generalist B2B Consultant who has hit 7 figures. The path of getting to 7 or 8 figures if one of narrowing down (until you can go broad again at multi 8 figures). Processes and systems matter. You cannot scale a generalist consulting business.
    But the transition can be scary. Saying no to revenue is hard when you're just getting by (which most B2B Consultants do - barely). But accepting every gig coming your way ensures you continue staying in the Generalist trap.
    In this video I break down the 4 steps to break this vicious cycle and transition into a highly paid specialist within 6-18 months.

  • Ep. 92 - High Ticket or Low Ticket - Make your Choice

    High ticket services and low ticket products / communities have very different business dynamics. It's a mistake to try to sell both of them at the same time if you're not already at 7 figures with one of them.

    Make a choice - sell high or low ticket, but not both.

  • Ep. 90 - The Only Strategy B2B Consultants Need

    B2B Consultants who want to get from no / low revenue to high six figures usually totally over-estimate the need for having a Strategy with a big S. In reality, all you need is to heed a few simple rules that keep you clear from big mistakes, have a goal, have a credible plan to reach that goal, and then execute. We're all too influenced by brilliant strategic moves of the business heroes of our time, and don't put enough emphasis on simplicity and execution. In this video, I walk you through a simple yet necessary process that will put your B2B consultancy on the right path.

  • Ep. 89 - Why B2B Consultants Must Pick a Niche to Hit 6 - 7 Figures (and No: "SMEs" are not a niche)

    In this video, I show you why it's so important to have a niche as a B2B Consultant, why "SMEs" are not a niche, how to pick a niche and how to transition from generalist to niche specialist. It's a big one, strap in.

    Here's the Google Doc I walked you through
    https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SuRS_56dbPiTV07_bc8sXQXGqNwTz1KzJwIX5MB8GCI/edit
    Here's Dan Koe's argument against niching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6GdcCYxZUE
    And here's Jordan Peterson about Peter Pan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll2gdKHXOYc
    My main points

     SMEs are not a niche (despite what most 5-figure consultants will tell you)

     Why niching is essential to make it to multiple 6 or even 7 figures

     How to transition from non-niched to niched without panicking

     The two main reasons for niching down

     Where people who favor personal brand building over niching are wrong... and where they are right. 

     Demographic vs psychographic niches (and why this distinction matters)

     Your get-out-of-jail free card: You can still work with people outside your niche

     A full-scale 15 point checklist on picking the right niche

     When discriminating by sex or race ("we work with black female founders...") is a net negative for profits... and when it isn't. 

     And tons more.

  • Ep. 87 - What Naval Ravikant taught me about growing a B2B Consulting Business

    In this episode, I show you how to stop depending on referrals in 2024 as a B2B consultant and rather grow your business through developing the product and brand. Of course, before you do that you still have to build good client acquisition systems and cold outreach or LinkedIn outreach approaches that get you more clients as a B2B consultant in 2024. After this video you'll know how to approach growing your consulting business in 2024.

  • Ep. 86 - Why Saying "I don't have time to build Client Acquisition Systems NOW" Is a Trap

    Saying "mañana mañana" to building client acquisition systems will cost you dearly. How much? I calculated it in this episode.

    But before we get there, we have to discuss: What does it look like to build client acquisition systems, what are the alternatives, and what is the one situation when you indeed shouldn't bother building them.

    But now it's your turn: Assuming you're making 100k/y now, and would grow 10% yoy if you didn't have client acquisition systems in place, and assuming that you'd grow 70%, 50%, 20%, 15% and then 10% every year once you've built client acquisition systems (conservative estimate)... how much money will you forego on a 10 year time horizon if you delay your building of client acquisition systems by a mere 3 months? Take a guess and then listen... :-)
