Think you need a huge following to make sales? You don’t, and in this episode I’ll show you why.

I’m breaking down simple, effective marketing and sales strategies that work no matter the size of your audience. If you’re a tutor or education business owner, this is for you.

You’ll learn:

• Why small audiences can still convert
• The difference between making sales and the volume of sales
• How to make your content intentional and strategic
• What to do after someone consumes your content
• Why slow, steady growth leads to consistent results

I’m also sharing practical actions you can take right now, wherever you are in your journey.

Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take things to the next level, this episode will help you focus on what truly drives results, not vanity metrics.

Enjoy :-)

In this episode, I explore the evolving landscape of marketing, emphasising its importance for businesses even in a word-of-mouth-driven ecosystem.

I discuss changing consumer behaviour, the necessity of a strong offering, and the need for marketing content to resonate with your audience.

The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the audience's journey and tailoring marketing efforts to meet their specific needs.

Takeaways

Marketing starts with our offering, not how we promote.

The content we put out needs to cut through the noise.

Understanding what makes our offering outstanding is crucial.

Marketing should help people get ready to buy from us.

We need to cater to different audience segments based on their journey.

Hand-raiser content helps us understand where our audience is.

Marketing works hard when it shows why we're the best for our audience.

Sound bites

"Is marketing what we think it is?"

"What makes what we offer so outstanding?"

"Marketing starts with what we offer"

In this episode, I share how feeling resistance is a sign you’re about to do something important.

Inspired by The War of Art, I encourage you to see resistance as proof of growth and to keep going.

Resistance means you’re onto something.

Enjoy :-)

In this episode, I share lessons from top business and marketing minds — and how we can apply them in the education space.

It’s easy to stay in our niche, but doing so can limit our growth. I explore what happens when we step outside and learn from others.

We cover pricing, client experience, creative thinking, and standing out in a busy market.

Takeaways

Loud voices don’t always reflect the majority.

Value justifies pricing — not what others are charging.

Client experience leaves a lasting impression.

Creative thinking and logic go hand in hand.

We don’t need to be everywhere to stand out.

Plan for dips in motivation to stay consistent.

Looking outside our niche keeps us fresh and relevant.

Sound bites

"Are we listening to the loudest voices or the right ones?"

"People remember how we made them feel."

"Emotions aren’t the opposite of logic."

Enjoy :-)
