I've been consistenly DMing potential clients (thanks @Adam Egger ), attending networking events and getting myself out there which has helped start a steady stream of interest. However I wanted an ever-green product offer that would drive lots of interest by being free but not cheap whilst giving lots of value and lastly position myself as doing good, hello Pro Bono Design Sprint https://probonodesignsprint.scoreapp.com/ If you're thinking of doing the same bake these 3 things in 1. Make it a limited offer "Once per year" 2. Have a close date on when applications will no longer be accepted "Thursday 1 August 2024" 3. Directly address your target audience "Early-stage technology startups who have a great idea but no funding to do it"

I recently held a workshop with a very luxurious place here in Stockholm, luckily it was free from me because I networked my way there but this room would be about $250 for 2 hours. Only 4 people showed up. I made 2 videos about the workshop promoting them on linkedin. You can see my video in the link below .https://www.linkedin.com/posts/uro%C5%A1-mi%C4%87i%C4%87-72090712a_workshop-strengths-leverage-activity-7217884447809937409-q7_R?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop I got a very positive public response to my initiative and the video, people really think its great and that the topic is interesting. I published the second video few days after. It was all 2 weeks before the actual workshop and I made an event on the Eventbrite page. Then I figured that I really have to step up my game so I started massively messaging people both on LinkedIn and my personal contacts few days ahead. On one side its August, and people are on vacations. Two of the people are my close friends, one person who was on my podcast and forth person is a woman that is into me. One friend would have forgotten if I didn't remind him last minute, 1 person didn't read the location and another person completely forgot. Everyone was late and one friend had to take important job-related phone call just at the start time where he got rejected from the last round of interviews in a company he really wanted to be a part of and he joined the workshop late to engage in a workshop about how we can leverage our strengths. It was a fun and chill workshop but seeing the results of my efforts was definitively underwhelming. I got feedback that its not easy for people to open up about these subjects, and that people would my rather join AW kind of setting that is more low key and more safe. Culture here in Sweden is very specific.

Hey community. As a fresh facilitator I struggle a lot with what is my exact offer and what are the benefits. It's strange because I have a bunch of workshops recipes but I struggle so much with what is my SPECIFIC offer to the market. The offer needs to be genuine and come from experience as well as fit the market but what market?! I've been getting a lot of compliments on my listening skills and my energy which is basically 50% of the workshop. But answering the question "what do they get out?" Is so daunting. Yeah they feel better but what do they get in their hands, what kind of practical thing will they have that will change their life just a little bit. I had a number of workshops on different topics (for free) and they were all successful. But now that Im becoming a professional my ADHD is going mad. I know fixing the offer is a manageable task but it's also easy to pull hair on it. If you go this far, could you please like this post, I'm trying to get to level 3 to unlock a course 🙏

Hello from Stuttgart Germany, I would like to start with a question, hoping you will be willing to share. How to you get customers? - Channels - Cold calling - Etc. I am especially interested in this as I am a side-preneur. Thanking you in advance Andrea

Hi everyone, perhaps a silly question, but there might be others with the same problem 😅 I just finished the Fundamentals course and facilitated a few workshops at my company (which I am planning to leave soon) but looking for a new job in facilitation is not that easy because they are usually looking for some experience in a candidate. I’ve been working in sales combined with learning & development for quite some time now, but switching to IT environments and scrum/agile need for facilitators requires quite a bit more than fundamentals course. What would be your advice to take next steps in order to switch my career successfully? Thank you so much for any tips and tricks :) Books, courses, jobs description - anything 🤩 Btw, I am from the Netherlands, if there’s anyone else from Dutchland and willing to get in touch I’d be happy to chat. Hope it’s not against the rules ☺️🍀💫🙌
