New video out now!

Hello everyone and welcome to our new members. This is just a quick post talking about social proof and how important it is to get some social proof in order to gain new clients. I created a Google business profile for free and on that profile you can request reviews and testimonials from your current and past clients. This has been something really useful for me when getting new clients because I can just point them to my reviews or you could do your reviews on a Facebook page. That can help sway them to work with you in the future. I used to underestimate the power of a decent review and now I see that actually it's one of the most useful things you can do to convert your leads into paying clients. You can Google Bow Tie Teacher and see the sorts of things people write about me if you wish; I used to find it extremely difficult to ask for reviews especially if people ignore it after a couple of times. But I'm growing a thicker skin as time goes by and am learning not to take it so personally, especially when you've done so much to help their child progress. So give it a go! Reach out to your WhatsApp contacts, your email contacts and whoever else has worked with you in the past and ask them for some positive words!! Have a great day, Rob

Hi everyone, Sorry that I have been AWOL the past week or so but this resit course has been absolutely crazy. Yesterday I secured my 23rd sale of the course and I still have another couple of days before it starts! That isn't a flex at all, I just hope that it inspires you a little to try something that you have been putting off for years (like I have!). I was scared of putting myself out there and I still don't know if it's going to be successful but the business is taking off as a result. I am super overwhelmed by it and scared that it will all go wrong but I'm also grateful to have this opportunity to try and support a large number of students and parents in fulfilling their goals in maths. See if you can try to take one tiny step closer to what you want to achieve today. Contact that lead, make that cringy social media post and share it with us or tag me, I would love to see it! Have a great day, Rob

So I don't want to jinx this one because it's brand new this week but the initial signs are super positive so I just wanted to update you all on what's happening. In the UK, we have just had our GCSE (end of 16 years old) examinations and in maths, a significant number of students (around 30% depending on sources) do not meet the pass requirements. I believe this is a travesty but it's also an opportunity to support a great number of them in the mandatory November resit exam (if they stay in education, they must take maths again which is pretty demoralising). I have been advertising my resit course using all of the research that I have been learning about to address a significant pain point for parents and students. I have offered a money back guarantee (there are some conditions to protect myself) but I have already had 3 sales in the first 3 days @ £250 a pop. I have another 5 strong leads that I am pursuing so, if I can get to 10 attendees, that will be my biggest 'hourly rate' by far. It is a 6 week course (2 online sessions per week) and if successful, I will be running extra ones through the year and hopefully scale it to a very decent earner. Is there something similar you can do in your country to grow a group with a time based scarcity, a pain point and a money back guarantee which is meant to keep you up at night?! It is a risk for sure but I will be holding on to the money just in case it falls flat on its face and the very worst that can happen is that I ran 12 group sessions for nothing. If it does work then who knows where it might go... Feel free to comment below if you have questions :)

I'm so pleased! I've got 6 sales so far for my resit course and the leads are pouring in. If you're ever worried about doing something outside your comfort zone, try and take the leap of faith! Running ads on Facebook, following up and doing sales - it's absolutely mental that in a couple of months I've come this far but you can too. I'm just a normal guy learning and making mistakes; now is the time to take some chances on yourselves :)
