Make a post today that highlights another member that you think is just doing awesome stuff (even though, we all are). ❤️ I would love to spend today just pumping each other up!

We had an evaluation for my 2 year old today. For those that don't know, she: ❤️ is nonverbal ❤️ will only drink out of a bottle ❤️ is delayed in almost every area ❤️ suspected autism but no official diagnosis yet ❤️ has severe eczema ❤️and is allergic to most things so, navigating how to best help her is more difficult than I ever could have anticipated. It is full of SO many therapists, specialists, appointments, phone calls, and paperwork. and today, we had another evaluation and she placed higher than her last evaluation and is showing that while she has some symptoms of autism, she also has skills that are higher than children her age with autism. 🦋They also mentioned that there was a lot of encouraging skills that she has and that she's working towards. Navigating the special needs world and the medically complex with every evaluation showing negative results is so disheartening. Today felt like a hallelujah. Finally, some positive news. She's making progress. 😭

👉One of the BEST lead magnets is a skool community. You can have tons of amazing free resources in it and connect it to your CRM to gather data when people join. You can also build a lot of rapport and trust inside of it really quickly. ❤️But first, let's talk about what a funnel is and how they work. A funnel is a system (usually automated as much as possible) that gets clients from strangers to clients. 👇There are a few components of a funnel: 1. 🌈 The content. This is the content that other people see from you. It can be a post on your personal fb page, it can be a post you did inside of a fb group, it can be an ad, it can be a youtube video, it can be SEO on google, it can be on skool discovery, it can be a post that you put inside of another skool group. This is the content that you put out that others see and gets people interested in you or what you're doing. 2. 💮 The opt in. Ideally, your content should promote something about your skool group that people actually want. This makes them actually interested in the content you put out and click on it or follow through with inquiring about what you're doing. For a skool group, this is the about page of your skool community. They can then "opt in" by joining your skool community. Ideally (if you have the pro plan), you have membership questions to gather their info like email and phone number and you collect that info and it automatically opts them into your welcome e-mail and sms sequences. 3. 🦋 The nurture. Inside of the skool community, you can set up an Automatic DM (or, if you have the hobby plan, just send them a DM the next time you log in) to engage them into a conversation. The BEST thing here is to find out what their goals are, what their struggles are, and find out if you can help them. If you can, try to book a 15 minute call with them to qualify them or disqualify them. In this call, you see if they're a good fit for your paid program, you give them some feedback for their immediate struggle, and ask if they're interested in your paid offerings. If they are, you tell them the price range of your paid offerings. Then if they are fine with that, you book a longer 1 hour sales call with them.
