Why Selling Experiences Requires Different Marketing Than Teaching Skills


Listen Later

In this powerful episode, I delve into the critical distinction between selling an experience versus teaching a skill or knowledge-based product and why traditional marketing approaches often fail for experience-based businesses. This insight is especially valuable if you're an energy healer, or someone who provides transformative experiences rather than teachable frameworks.

I share a revealing client case study about a practitioner in women's holistic health who wanted to launch a new offering for women dealing with a sensitive topic. Together, we created an approach that honored both the sensitive nature of her work and leveraged the power of experiential marketing rather than traditional "how-to" frameworks.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

  • Why conventional marketing advice (built for knowledge-based businesses) often fails for experience-based practitioners.
  • How to market sensitive topics without exposing or shaming potential clients.
  • Why creating experiences rather than masterclasses can be more effective for certain businesses.
  • The importance of adding human connection points in your sales process, especially with cold audiences.
  • A different perspective on measuring ROI that considers long-term assets versus immediate returns.
  • How to build marketing that showcases your work through direct experience rather than explaining methodology.
  • Why transitioning cold audiences to high-ticket purchases often requires additional trust-building steps.
  • The value of being discerning about whose marketing advice you follow based on your business model.
  • How to create assets in your business that generate ongoing returns rather than one-time results.
