Before the Launch with Brenna McGowan

The Waitlist Mistake Most Entrepreneurs Make


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into a spicy topic—why I don’t believe in waitlists during a pre-launch for most.


Waitlists might seem like a smart strategy, but I’ll show you why they often don’t convert the way we expect — and what you can do instead to warm up your buyers before the launch even starts.


Let’s rethink how we’re gathering interest and get strategic about starting conversations that actually lead to sales.


Here’s what you’ll uncover during this episode :


  • Why waitlists often don’t mean buyer intent


  • The psychology of perceived progress (and how it works against you)


  • The big problem with waitlists that most people don’t realize


  • What an interest list can do that a waitlist can’t


  • How one client sold 55% of their program months ahead of launch


Listen now to get the scoop on your revised “waitlist” strategy.
