In this industry, it's becoming more and more difficult to get your message across in a way that people will understand or care about. And with the rise of texting and social media, we're seeing less face-to-face interaction which means that we can't rely on our natural facial expressions to help readers and viewers connect with what you're saying. Which means that you need a visual aid - something like video to do the job instead.

When Amanda Kijek decided to become a business coach, she knew that she would have to use webinars as a way to reach more people and grow her business.

This was tough work, especially considering the harsh Canadian winters. Amanda decided that she wanted a warm, clean environment, which led to her career choice to be an aesthetician. Aesthetics was a great choice for Amanda. It allowed her to have one-on-one time with clients, and helped her understand the importance of building relationships. She soon began to build a large clientele, and started thinking about ways to scale her business. The opportunity came when she became a mom and wanted more flexibility to work around her family - hence the move into coaching. Coaching was a great fit for Amanda, and she quickly realized that webinars could help her reach a larger audience. She started by testing different strategies, and found that using slides only had a limited impact on her conversion rate.
