DOING A 7 DAY FREE TRIAL IS LIKE MARMITE...

🔥

So… quick but very real sauce update, because I didn’t actually properly update this and that feels off, especially in a space where I bang on about transparency and the messy middle all the time.

The Backroom 7-DAY FREE TRIAL has one day left, and if I’m honest, it’s been a bit of a LOVE / HATE RELATIONSHIP.

Let me just say that upfront. I won’t do it again in this $1 community, that part I’m pretty clear on now, but also (and this is important) there has been a LOT of learning in it too.

Some of that learning hasn’t been uncomfortable exactly… maybe confusing is a better word. Eye-opening. Slightly head-scratching. Because I asked for outside eyes, and what came back totes showed me just how differently people see the same thing.

Some people said the About page felt too busy for their nervous system, like sensory overload, too many faces, too much going on, and they bounced before even really reading. (But I am madly in love our pic of the real humans inside)

Some people said they were confused about what the space actually is unless they’d heard me talk about it elsewhere.

Some said they’d never join a paid community, even if it’s $1. Others questioned why there was even a free trial if it’s only $1, which made yes makes lotta sense, sigh…

And the BIG lesson in all of that… people don’t get the vibe until they’re on the inside. Full stop 🔴

Most of the people who jump into a $1 community are already a yes before they land on the About page. Through conversations. Through recommendations. Through seeing me show up in other spaces.

The About page on its own doesn’t carry the whole picture, and that’s been a really HUGE important realisation for me.

Another big one… I’m not everyone’s cup of tea.

Some people don’t like the language. Some people find the energy too much. Some people hear “ok boomer” or I sound like their kids or just think, nah, not my jam.

And honestly, that’s fine. It has to be. Because this space isn’t about trying to appeal to everyone.

There was also confusion around what this space is, which is fair.

This isn’t a place where I’m telling you how to make 10K or giving you a tidy, tangible result. This is a conversation-led space.

This is where the wisdom and power is in the talking, the sharing, the uncomfortable stuff, the half-formed thoughts, the wobbles, the saying it out loud before it’s ready. And yeah… that’s pretty frickin hard to explain in words on an About page.

So this week hasn’t been about “did the free trial work or not”.

It’s been about human behaviour, perception, safety, nervous systems, trust, recommendations, language, timing, and how people decide. And that part? Absolute effin GOLD!

I’m still sitting with it all. Still pulling threads. Still asking questions. Still learning. And I wanted to share that openly, because this is literally the work we do in here…

Messy. Curious. Honest. Real-time.

More to come once I’ve properly let it all land 🖤

(And heads up, yes, if this landed, I will be closing the FREE trial on Sunday 12th TODAY IN THE BACKROOM , and yes I will be back with even more insights, as I just shared a teeny bit here)

I would love for you to join us - https://www.skool.com/unstoppable/about
