Face These 5 Common Biz Struggles?

At any time as a coach, consultant, expert, or trainer you face multiple BIG challenges in your business…

As I searched the internet for a topic for this week’s newsletter, I stumbled across an article that outlined 100 common challenges faced by coaches and consultants.

So, I thought I’d take 5 challenges and help you overcome them, whether you’re facing them now or will in future.

The end result of course is you solving the BIGGEST problem most coaches and consultants face, which is…

They struggle to find and close new clients.

FAIR WARNING: I’m only scratching the surface here, as there were 100 to begin with and I’m sure there are many more than that.

If you can work through these, over time, your business will be unrecognizable from where it is today, and you’ll generate more revenue, and improve your business and life overall.

Let’s go.

Why Coaches Or Consultants Can’t Articulate Their Value

Have you ever felt unaware of how amazing you are and the value you give?

If so, you’re not alone.

Because you’ve worked so hard to attain your skills, and they come as second nature to you now…

It’s easy to think that everyone can do what you do, but they can’t.

And if you’re unaware of how amazing you are, you’ll find it difficult to articulate your value.

QUICK TIP: Write down all the things you can do related to your business and the results your clients get.

This will help you get crystal clear on the value you give so you can see how impactful your work truly is.

This helps you get clear on…

Your Core Offer

Creating an irresistible/no-brainer offer is vital to the success of your business.

You want an offer people feel stupid saying “no” to.

There are 7 traits of an irresistible offer, and they are…

  1. It must be easy to understand…
  2. It’s highly desirable…
  3. It has high perceived value
  4. It’s easy to get…
  5. It must be believable and credible…
  6. It must have low or no risk…
  7. There must be a reason to buy NOW…

If you’d like clarity on each of these traits, I cover them all in detail here >>

Once you have an irresistible offer, it helps you…

Differentiate Yourself From Other Coaches And Consultants

Have you ever been in a sales interaction where the salesperson tried to tell you why their product was BETTER than their competitors?

If you’re constantly trying to justify your value, you’re in a losing battle.

Sure you want your product/service to be better, but you also want it to be DIFFERENT.

And guess what…

Once you’ve created an irresistible offer, your offer will not only be better than your competitors but it will be VERY different too.

There are many ways you can differentiate yourself from your competition, and it all starts with studying them.

You want to know them better than they know themselves.

In this video I cover 3 ways to beat your competition, one of which I’ve just mentioned >>.

Another two ways you can differentiate yourself is with your story.

Your story is unique to you, and no other company, coach, or consultant can replicate it.

I wrote about this in a previous newsletter, but sharing your story is a VERY powerful tactic in business.

Having a unique selling proposition (USP) is also KEY to differentiating yourself from your competitors.

Your USP could be as simple as getting to work with you versus working with a big company who hires a college graduate to serve their clients.

Finding your USP will require some brainstorming, but once you find it your business becomes more robust and unique.

Why You NEVER Want To Trade Time For Money

Even if you raise your prices often, scaling your business is impossible if you trade time for money.

It blows my mind how many coaches and consultants I see who can’t escape the time for money trap.

But when you’ve nailed your irresistible offer and its delivery, you’ll no longer trade time for money and you can take your business to brand new heights.

That’s why I’ve set my hourly rate so high.

Because if I limit the number of people who can make that investment, it protects my time.

And I suggest you do the same.

You don’t need to charge what I charge, but you should make sure only the most serious and committed clients get your time.

This brings me to the next problem I see often, which is…

Having No Systems In Place

You may have heard me say this before…

But systems are VITAL to scaling your business, and escaping the time for money trap.

I always say, “You don’t manage people, you create systems that manage people.”

Once you have the right systems and processes in place your employees can follow…

There’s no uncertainty in your business…

They free up time…

And things run more smoothly, and most importantly…

Your employees can do a great job and feel good about coming to work.

The good thing is you don’t have to wait until your business reaches a certain size before you create systems.

You can create systems now that will serve you for years to come.

If you’d like to know how I created some of the systems in my businesses, then you’ll love this video >>

In Closing…

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…

Fix these issues and your business will be like night and day from where it is now…

You’ll have more free time, better clients, and more money, and who doesn’t want all those things?

Till next time, go high ticket,

Dan Lok

Building a Sales Funnel on Kajabi: Attracting Your Audience

Hello, fellow course creator!

Today, we embark on a journey into the dynamic realm of sales funnels, a fundamental element of your course marketing strategy within Kajabi. Together, we’ll unravel the concept of a sales funnel, explore how to craft one using Kajabi’s powerful pipeline feature, and delve into the pivotal components of lead magnets, opt-ins, and upsells. These elements are your compass in the quest to transform potential students into enthusiastic course participants.

Step 1: Understanding the Concept of a Sales Funnel

A sales funnel is a systematic process that guides potential students through various stages, from awareness to conversion. Each stage in the funnel has a specific goal, ensuring that you nurture leads and build a strong relationship with your audience.

  • Awareness Stage: This is the top of the funnel, where you attract your target audience’s attention through various marketing channels.
  • Interest Stage: In this stage, you pique their interest with valuable content and lead magnets to capture their contact information.
  • Decision Stage: Here, you nurture leads with more in-depth content and offers, helping them make an informed decision about enrolling in your course.
  • Action Stage: The bottom of the funnel, where leads become paying students, completing the desired action.

Step 2: Creating a Sales Funnel using Kajabi’s Pipeline Feature

Now, let’s see how easy it is to build a sales funnel using Kajabi’s pipeline feature:

  • Choose a Pipeline Template: Kajabi offers pre-designed pipeline templates to suit various course marketing goals. Select the template that aligns best with your objectives.
  • Customize Your Funnel: Personalize the pipeline with your branding, content, and desired stages to create a seamless user experience.
  • Lead Capture Pages: Design eye-catching lead capture pages with opt-in forms to collect your audience’s contact information.
  • Email Sequences: Set up automated email sequences to nurture leads and guide them through the decision-making process.

Step 3: The Power of Lead Magnets, Opt-ins, and Upsells

To make your sales funnel truly effective, focus on these key elements:

  • Lead Magnets: Offer valuable lead magnets such as free e-books, cheat sheets, or mini-courses to entice visitors to share their contact information.
  • Opt-ins: Craft compelling opt-in forms that highlight the benefits of your lead magnet and encourage visitors to subscribe.
  • Tripwire Offers: Consider offering low-cost tripwire offers, such as discounted introductory courses, to convert leads into paying students.
  • Upsells and Cross-Sells: After a successful purchase, offer relevant upsells or cross-sells to enhance your students’ learning experience and increase revenue.

Step 4: Testing and Optimizing Your Sales Funnel

To ensure your sales funnel performs at its best, implement these optimization strategies:

  • A/B Testing: Experiment with different elements of your funnel, such as headlines, visuals, and calls-to-action, to identify what resonates best with your audience.
  • Conversion Tracking: Use Kajabi’s analytics tools to track the performance of each stage in your funnel, enabling you to make data-driven decisions.
  • Retargeting Campaigns: Retarget leads who did not convert with relevant offers and content to bring them back into the funnel.

Step 5: Nurturing and Building Relationships

Remember that a successful sales funnel is not just about conversions; it’s also about building lasting relationships with your students. Provide exceptional value, engage with your audience, and continuously nurture the relationship even after the purchase.

With Kajabi’s pipeline feature, creating an effective sales funnel becomes a breeze. Now, it’s time to attract your audience, guide them through your funnel, and watch your course enrollments soar!
