A few years back I used to dish out a lot of “value” and delivering it got me a lot of likes, but likes don’t turn into cash. The assumption is if you deliver lots of value then eventually someone will pay you to work with you. And it’s far from the truth. Because value seekers are freebie seekers. They usually like to collect dust to information that they gather. Most times it sits in their google drive and it never gets implemented. The interesting thing is if you often question these people on the nature of their current beleifs they are usually of sceptical nature. The glass is always half empty not half full. If you’re in the business of growth and leadership then this is a slippery slope for you. Selling change to the value seeking crowd has always been extremely hard for me and to be totally honest I avoid it, just like I avoid needy people. I received this morning a message from someone who is inside my free community and is observing how our membership model is slowly growing each day. I asked her if she would like to step up to our next model which is not even $60 a month. In it she would receive my 2 offer templates that are currently generating me and my paid clients an easy way to freedom. Instead she feels it has no “value.” I am not judging. I personally can not force someone to see more than just seeking value. I am sure she just think I am a complete waste of time to her. I’m more interested and excited for the people that said yes because they saw something that got them curious. Value people like to watch paint dry. Insight people like to dance to a different drum. They are my people. Be careful of people who seek value, they usually don’t find anything valuable. Which brings me to the next question: How does everyone feel about the free groups? I have seen some people closing them all together and focusing all together on paid communities. The energy is totally different and I am almost inclined to either close it down all together and focus my energy on my 2 paid communities.

Not sure if this is on the roadmap but would you use a tiered membership? id love it. Would help some back end issues i have with my delivery for my high ticket rn!

I predict Skool Auctions will be the new webinars. A little over a week ago, I ran what I call a 24-Hour Fun Auction on Skool. It went nutz zongo. 🤯 $34,000 winning bid. (Money bank wired.) $120,000 post-auction sales. The last 60 seconds were crazy! The auction had 500+ comments in 24 hours and my group is 450 peeps. My members had a BLAST! I had so much fun, too! I've run auctions on FB groups and done okay, but Skool is WAY better at auction engagement because of better reach. Skool really blew FB away in post-auction sales because the DM is so much easier on Skool. When it comes to engagement and MAKING $ALE$... Skool shellacks FB bootie! Thank you @Sam Ovens!

The coaching industry has taught prospects a bad habit: INACTION. Prospects know that there is no urgency for not acting quickly. They know you will still be there tomorrow and the day after. They know they can take their time and respond when they feel like it And when or if they are finally ready the coach will welcome them with open arms because he/she needs them more than they need them. This coach is alsways nice, always available, he / she might even give a discount for finally joining their program. He/ she is always available for a free chat. The audience knows that they can come whenever they want. He/ she is liked by everyone and keeps giving free stuff away. But you don't get paid for being nice. You get paid for being good at what you do. Then enter the coach who does things a little bit differently. While the industry has unlimited spots and unlimited availability, He/she has limited client spots and close doors. They are clear on their numbers and how many clients it takes to get there. As a result, they are not afraid to say no. Ironically, this makes them more money. Like Maya, who had a prospect who was "thinking" about her program but decided to jump in on a package twice as expensive when she filled her spots. Here’s why this worked: 1 They get clear on how many clients they need to sign up in order to reach their freedom number. 2 Sets a monthly client limit. 3 Lets their audience know they won’t work with everyone anymore. 4 Has real scarcity (which increases lead speed). 5 Scarcity raises the value of the offer. 6 Gets more clients because people know they won’t be there forever. Getting clear on your Freedom Number makes people move faster because it sends a signal into the market: You're willing to help. But you're not willing to wait forever. This is not anything new. It’s a common supply / demand principle that somehow the industry forgot about: Power goes to the most limited resource. And while everyone has more supply than they have demand,
