All-In On Power Offers | SWW 240 with Joshua Gavin
Joshua Gavin is known as “The Offer Kid” and the founder of Ad Free Funnels. He was in our HTC program back in the day, and has a very unique skillset. I wanted to bring him on to share how he discovered Power Offers and how he used that to get to where he is today. Josh developed a funnel agency in 2020, transitioning from local business marketing to working with coaches and consultants. One of his VSL clients asked him to “build him a Mini Webinar like Joel Erway does.” Josh had no idea what a Mini Webinar was, much less knew about this guy Joel Erway…but he didn’t tell this to his client, and got to work on his research. He learned about Mini Webinars and Power Offers on the job, and it instantly clicked. While it seemed like everyone else was doing long-form sales processes, Josh figured that selling outcomes through short-form Mini Webinars could be the next big thing. He went all-in on Mini Webinars and Power Offers, and is still going strong today. Obviously, I swear by Power Offers. But if you need some more convincing, this episode will get you there. You’ll Discover What makes Power Offers stand out from other sales processes?

Having Confidence in Your Power Offer with Boyd Clewis | SWW162
If for some reason you still need convincing that the Power Offer works, listen to Boyd Clewis’ success story. Boyd serves the IT industry, with a niche of credit card data security. He began his business traveling to different places and offering masterclasses, but when the pandemic hit he was forced to take his business online. The results weren’t as successful as he hoped in the beginning. If people knew the benefits his program would have on their businesses, there would be folks fighting over spots on his wait list. But he didn’t know how to approach that next level. When he reached out to us and created his Power Offer, in that same month his business sold $15k worth of sales. When Boyd gave a resounding “yes” to investing in his own business, he showed his dedication to make an impact. This translated through his efforts, getting his offer in front of the right people and scaling like crazy. He even had leads coming in during our conversation. Boyd Clewis’s success story is proof that if you have confidence in your offer and are willing to invest in your impact, you can go the distance.

Why Solving Problems Out Of Sequence Is Killing Your Growth | SWW132
One thing you’ll hear me say again and again is that I’m not trying to rewrite the rules of marketing. And I have to say this because a lot of what I do and teach is contrary to what’s done and taught by other marketers. All I’m trying to do is put things in the right order for you, as an Expert, to make sure you see success quickly. I stumbled my way to success, mainly because I stayed in the game and just didn’t give up. This is a common trait among all successful entrepreneurs. And if I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to solve problems in their correct order. That’s what this episode of Sold With Webinars is about. You’ll Discover 3 stages in my own problem-solving sequence [02:10] The right time - and revenue - to focus on list/audience building [05:00] When you’ve earned the right to “build your brand” [06:22] What stage I’m in with my own business [07:44] The mistakes I see other entrepreneurs making [08:23] ...And much more!

How To Structure Your Offer In A "Book A Call" Funnel | SWW131
When people hear me talk about webinars they assume we’re going “direct to sale.” And while I do have webinars running that do this, what I always recommend to people just starting out is a “book a call” funnel. The problem with going “direct to sale” is you need to have your messaging 100% dialed in or your conversion rate will suck. In contrast, selling on the phone is a lot easier. If you follow my system. And in this episode of Sold With Webinars, I’m going to break down how to present your offer and close on the phone. You’ll Discover The number one thing I make our students and clients focus on when launching a “book a call” funnel [02:05] How this “one thing” does most of your selling before they get on the phone with you [02:34] Should you present all the details of your program on the phone?

The Tech Stack That Allows Me To Live A Semi-Retired Lifestyle | SWW130
I get a lot of messages from my email, podcast, and social media friends… Asking me what software I use to run my business. They’ll notice I use a particular tool… And naturally become curious about what else I use. That’s why, in this episode of Sold With Webinars… I’m going to end the mystery once and for all. And reveal my entire tech stack for living a semi-retired lifestyle. It’s important to note that the tech stack you use really doesn’t matter. And you won’t be married to a particular tool or software forever. As your business grows your needs will change. And that means the tools you use will vary.

Can You Turn A Service Business Into A High Ticket Course? | SWW129
Can service-based businesses launch high ticket offers? Maybe... The answer isn’t as straightforward as you might think. I always try to be up front, and as clear as possible when talking about what types of service businesses are a good fit for high ticket offers. The truth is, this is not universal. There are some things that don’t translate well into high ticket offers. But sometimes, there are things that just need to be packaged and/or positioned differently to become awesome high ticket offers. Example: You might recall that I recently worked with an attorney who wanted to go a certain direction with his offer. Honestly, I wasn’t really on board. But as we were having a consulting call, he mentioned something that made me sit up and take notice; one of those “pump the brakes” moments. We ended up positioning him with a totally different (and very exciting) offer, doing something he was already doing for his clients. Sometimes all it takes is a willingness to step back, and take a good hard look at what you do. Add in some discussion, a little give-and-take and brainstorming, and you might discover a way to package your expertise in a way you hadn’t considered — but that serves clients well. You’ll Discover The first question service providers need to ask themselves [3:07] Not every offer can be packaged as a high ticket offer. [5:54 What you need to understand when transforming a service into a high ticket offer [10:05] Changing your “Who” can make all the difference. [10:43] ...And much more!

A Look Inside my Low Ticket Funnel | SWW128
Would you like a peak behind the curtain at my low-ticket funnel? Wait...did I say low-ticket?! Yes, I did. You know my whole vibe is high ticket offers, right? I made my bones in the Internet marketing space by ignoring conventional funnel-based marketing, and using Power Offers and Mini Webinars that lead to high ticket offers. But you might not know that I started out doing low-ticket offers. It went...OK. Kind of. I broke even, but here’s the thing: We’re not in business to break even! In this episode of Sold With Webinars I share the nitty-gritty details of a low-ticket funnel I did for our Power Offer Workshop. The workshop itself was a HUGE success. The feedback has been off the charts, and out of 310 sales, only seven people refunded. It’s even been compared to masterclasses costing thousands — not bad for a $37 product! The funnel for this offer has done pretty well (we’re into five figures), but part of my purpose in sharing this is to, once again, remind you that if you follow the traditional method of funnel-based marketing — Ascension Model, Value Ladder, self-liquidating offers — I just don’t believe it’s the right path to generating lots of income. I am ~not~ saying it doesn’t work. There are plenty of people out there who have made it work. But basing your entire strategy on pushing leads from low-ticket offers through upsells and OTOs in the hopes that they’ll bite on your high ticket offer can be a long, frustrating process. I’ll never go back to that model. So why did I do it? Watch, listen or read to find out. You’ll Discover Why I killed a low-ticket offer after a year.[02:57] How I used broad positioning with my niche [06:42] Why low-ticket funnels are not for the faint of heart [09:24] What I’m most interested in learning from this project [10:29] What I changed on the fly — and it worked [18:00] ...And much more!

How Nick Coleman shattered client acquisition costs | SWW127
“I have no doubt that I’ll be a millionaire in the next 12 months.” Man, do I love hearing that! Especially when it comes from someone just like you and me; who isn’t formally trained in marketing, and is just following a very effective system. There probably isn’t a more competitive marketing space than fitness. In fact, it’s extremely difficult (and often very expensive) to carve out a niche. But not long after taking our Power Offer Workshop, Nick Coleman has totally nailed his Power Offer in a fitness “niche within a niche,” and he’s getting incredible results; literally more booked calls than he can handle. Way more. Nick’s experience has shown me, once again, the massive potential of a well-crafted Power Offer. He not only supercharged his bottom line in a very short time frame, but also reduced his client acquisition costs to...well...I don’t want to spoil it. You have to listen to find out. But I almost couldn’t believe it at first. That’s why I knew I had to get him on the podcast. To learn more about Nick Coleman Check out his Facebook Group. You’ll Discover One promise. Three tiers. How to position your offers. [15:08] Why the vast majority of clients choose a middle-tier offer [20:08] How to cancel booked calls for people who aren’t qualified, without ruining your brand [32:48] The freedom of paid traffic vs. organic [38:10] Why the mini Webinar is an essential component [45:14] ...And much more!

Want to know a secret about fulfillment? Your clients don’t care about deliverables. They care about solving their problems with your solution. I don’t talk a lot about fulfillment. Instead, I try to get my High Ticket Courses students to concentrate on the transformation they offer their clients. But I do get questions from people who want to know how to grow their business without promising too much of their time in the form of consulting calls or offers. Too many people get hung up on the deliverables (bloated offer stacks, anyone?) without understanding this simple idea: What your clients really want is your knowledge, and an understanding of how they’re going to use it to improve their own situation. That’s it. You don’t have to bury yourself in fulfillment by offering time-consuming deliverables like weekly coaching calls. That’s a dangerous trap that puts pressure on you, pressure on your client to perform within a specified timeframe, and it has the potential to cannibalize your offer. And, in most cases it’s just not necessary. What you should be delivering is transformation, not endless amounts of your time. You’ll Discover How to keep 1-on-1 consulting promises without drowning in fulfillment [00:26] Why your clients care more about transformation instead of deliverables [2:09] Exactly how to structure consulting offers [02:30] Why high-performing clients don’t want endless coaching calls [04:40] How to avoid cannibalizing your offers [06:24] ...And much more!

The Unsexy Shift | SWW125
“Spoiler alert: Nobody wants a lawyer until they actually need one.” I love it when an opportunity comes along to prove that high ticket offers don’t just work in the “make money online” space. The methods I teach in High Ticket Courses also work extremely well with “boring” service businesses like legal and accounting. Case in point: The other day I was on a consulting call with one of my High Ticket Courses clients (a lawyer in the UK). It ended up being an awesome session! In the span of just this one call, we were able to take a step back, look at what he does, and find out what he’s really passionate about. And then... We transformed what could have been a really boring offer (no offense!) into something that excited him, excited me and I know will excite his clients. This is the power of my consultative approach to working with clients. You’ll Discover How to figure out what aspects of a service business can actually excite people [03:15] How we discovered a “pain point” that he could turn from a negative into a positive [4:57] How the consultative approach revealed a game-changing, “pump the brakes” moment [06:22] How we went from the “dull, boring zone” to the “excitement zone” in 10 minutes [08:41] How to extract the “sexy,” exciting part of what you do, and turn it into a great front-end offer.

How This Dog Training Power Offer Got Alfred Confidence And Freedom From The Organic Marketing Trap | SWW122
“Does the Power Offer work for B2C?” It’s one of the most common questions I get.

I recently caught up with my good friend and internet marketing legend, Anik Singal. He’s the founder of Lurn.com, an e-learning platform for entrepreneurs with over 400,000 members. Anik is a master at selling with webinars. He’s been doing webinars for almost a decade and made, by my rough estimation, clost to $100 million with them. Besides nerding out on traffic, offers, and webinars, Anik and I also spoke about his entrepreneurship journey and how he got to where he is today. From struggling for 18 months to figure out “this internet marketing thing” back when he was in college... to making 7-figures a year by the time he graduated... to losing it all during the 2008/09 Great Recession and being $1.7 million in debt... to using those lessons to navigate the current recession. This is one of those podcasts you’ll want to listen to more than once. You’re going to hear cutting edge webinar sales strategies Anik reveals in public for the first time.

Sam Mollaei's 32X ROAS In The Legal Niche | #116

Nick Fullmer's 6-Figure "Recession" | #115
What happens when you combine a “Moneymaker Market” with the Perfect Expert model, a Power Offer, and a Mini Webinar? You get a business that grows even during a recession. Today I’m interviewing Nick Fullmer about his success in High Ticket Courses. Nick is the founder of a real estate consultancy called Overage Syndicate. When I first met Nick last year, the minute he told me what he does my eyes turned into dollar signs. You’ll find out why in the first few minutes of our chat. Nick and I talked about his journey from making $40k/year as a Corrections Officer to making $30k in 30 days after launching his high ticket offer.

Audience Q & A – How To Do "Offer Stacks" The Right Way | #114
Doing some audience Q&A for this episode. So, recently, I was asked, “Joel, I would love to learn all about Offer Stacks. Do you need an Offer Stack in your sales presentation? And what are the right ways and the wrong ways to do it?” So that’s what we’re going to talk about today. Now, when it comes to Offer Stacks, I do things a little differently. And I have a good reason why. It’s based on our overall strategy with the Power Offer / Mini Webinar model. You’ll Discover What is an “Offer Stack” (if this is the first time you’re hearing the phrase) Where people usually place their Offer Stacks in their sales presentation… and why I do the opposite WHAT to put in your Offer Stack (hint: it’s not just there to increase perceived value) and the right way to present it Why we don’t use Offer Stacks in “book a call” presentations And much more Helpful Resources For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog.

My "Bond Villain" Masterplan For Scaling My Own Offers | #113
Recently, I was on a consultation call with a world-famous marketer. If I mentioned their name, everyone would know who it is. They’re launching a new offer and they wanted my advice on some things. At the end of the call, this marketer asked me, "Hey Joel, so you know, out of curiosity, like what is the one thing that you're working on right now? Like, how can I help?" Of course, I was very grateful he offered. "Well, my main focus right now is scaling high ticket courses 2.0. We just relaunched our webinar. We got new customers that are enrolling. It's going great. And so that's my primary focus." "Well, that's strange. Why aren't you scaling your own high ticket program?" His response tripped me up for a minute. And the reason why he stumped me is that I thought what I was doing was a no-brainer. I believe they call that the Curse of Knowledge. So, in this episode of Sold With Webinars, I’m going to reveal what my funnel looks like today. You’ll Discover Why I don’t use my own mini webinar the way I teach my students The right way to build out your value ladder How I get “free” clients for my highest priced offer Why you shouldn’t do what I’m doing (if you’re launching a brand new offer) And much more Helpful Resources For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog.

Eliminate Last-Minute Price Objections With These 6-Steps | #112
A couple of weeks ago, I was on a chat with a good friend of mine who I met in a mastermind. "Joel, I've been following your podcast. I've been following your content on social media. And I've got a question because we are struggling and I was hoping that you could help." Now, this friend of mine is in the medical marketing business and he helps medical practices increase leads and sales and the whole nine yards. “The problem that we have right now is that we're wasting so much time with prospects who don't have any intent to buy our services. Our sales calls are extremely time intensive. We go through an audit, then we have a second call with them and a full-blown strategy session. We go through all this effort, only to get turned down at the very end when we propose our price." This is a crucial topic for those of you who aren't getting qualified leads coming into your pipeline. I'm going to walk you through the process of how I would fix this guy's problem. In fact, it’s the exact same process I use for leads who come through our funnels. You’ll discover: The #1 reason why you hear price objections on sales calls The 6-step process I use to eliminate price objections.

Cody Neer Created 21 Power Offers And This Is What Happens | #111
What happens when you launch 21 power offers in 4 months? One of the core principles I teach in High Ticket courses is being agile. Being able to move quickly and test a lot of ideas. Usually, that's to find the one idea we can scale. But what if they all work? What if you can find specific power offers and messaging to appeal to several categories of people without changing anything about your offer or promise? Cody Neer is the founder of eCommerce Brand Academy. He joined High Ticket Courses around December 2019. Cody's program was set up in a unique way, in that he has a ton of eCommerce courses specific to different platforms. For example, Amazon, ClickFunnels, Etsy, Pinterest, Facebook ads, etc. And because of this, he was able to create and test several power offers and mini webinars targeting each platform interest. When I first checked in with Cody after he joined High Ticket Courses, he had tested 7 power offers and closed on all 7. Now, he's up to 21 offers. All running concurrently. All making money. In all my years of teaching this stuff, I’ve never seen something like this before. So I absolutely had to interview him on Sold With Webinars. In this week’s episode, you'll discover: How Cody ended up with so many different courses inside eCommerce Brand Academy [03:00] he evolution of Cody's power offers and a surprising result as he transitioned from "done for you" messaging to "do it yourself" messaging [09:35] Cody's cost per application, conversion rates, and how he handles fulfillment [13:30] The "root cause" behind why High Ticket offers work, even if the information can be found online for free [19:17] And much more Helpful Resources For a full transcript of this episode, visit our blog.

Scammed? Zan's Mini Webinar story | #110
This is a behind-the-scenes look at one of our 1-on-1 clients, Zan Sheikh. Zan bought High Ticket Courses from us and as he was going through the material, watched our long-form webinar for our DFY service. Zan's someone who values his time and was willing to invest to get accelerated results. In this 50-minute interview, he talks about his experience working with The Webinar Agency, and the effect we've had on his business. "As an entrepreneur, you're going up and down all the time. There's these like ups and downs and highs and lows, but what I've noticed is when you stay in the game long enough, all that happens is your highs and lows don't go away. You will have highs and you will have lows, right? But the thing is is that the lows get higher and the highs get higher too. So it's like you're experiencing an overall better experience, you know, through time." – Zan Sheikh You'll discover: What an entrepreneur's approach SHOULD BE when they invest in courses, programs, or services that don't work out OR they get scammed Why Zan wanted to master paid traffic even though his business did 7-figures in 6 months organic The emotions entrepreneurs go through when they make big investments – and how successful entrepreneurs manage these emotions What I said to Zan when he asked me for a discount on our DFY service – his team uses my response on their own sales calls and you should too How we helped Zan optimize his funnel – from spending $1k and getting zero sales the first week... to doing a little over $300k in 3 months (from January to date,) spending ~$10k-$13k/month on ads ...And much more! About Zan Sheikh Zan Shaikh got his eCommerce start selling skateboards at the age of 12. He grew up in Massachusetts and has a degree in Entrepreneurship, Computer Systems, and Neurobiology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

How To Turn A Commodity Into A High Ticket Offer| #109
“Why would I pay $2,500 for a testimonial video when I can just get my students to record one on their phone?” Brian was calling it the “spider web” testimonial. When he asked me for feedback about his offer, I really couldn’t see the price justification. And so, he had to explain to me why his weren’t normal testimonials, they’re much better, etc. I eventually ended up working with him and he did 10 testimonials for High Ticket Courses. It’s because of a simple reframe, a tiny shift in positioning. This “shift” will allow you to sell high-ticket to cold audiences. I’ll tell you about it in a minute. Mind you, it’s not like his product wasn’t legitimately better than a regular testimonial. He had one of my student record 2 versions. One, the student recorded with his phone and it was the usual. The second was much more polished. It was edited. You could tell he was asking the student questions. The testimonial was methodical and had a logical progression. “The reason why my stuff is so great is because I'm uncovering gaps in the sales process for my clients when I'm interviewing their customers.” Jackpot. Now, we’ve got a high ticket offer. Tools Vs. Models A Tool is a commodity. Tools can be shopped around. People can get several quotes and compare prices. It’s hard to sell a tool at a premium. And good luck selling a high ticket course for one. A Model is unique. There’s only one of it: yours. People can’t shop around for a better price. The price is whatever you say it is. Look at me, for example. If I told you “I want to teach you how to create a webinar,” my competition is the hundreds of low-ticket products on the market and thousands of free videos, articles, and podcasts on the topic. But if I told you, “I want to teach you how to sell your course for $5,000, $10,000, or even up to $25,000,” there’s zero competition. This is a fact. Let’s take Brian as another example. Brian doesn’t sell testimonials. He sells: Discovering gaps in your sales process. Revealing the real reasons why customers buy from you. High-value sales material that can be used to get more customers Any one of these things is worth $2,500. A “testimonial” costs nothing but the time it takes me to get my student to record one for me on his phone. This brings me to my final point… Don’t Leave It Up To Your Customers To Figure Out The Value Of Your Products Don’t leave it up to me to figure out what I can do with “testimonials.” If you do, the value is low. Instead, tell me: “What I'm really doing for you is developing compelling sales material that new prospects are going to relate to because it's coming from your current customers' mouths.” No more price objections. No more, “Why am I paying $2,500 for a testimonial?” Conclusion If you're having a hard time getting prospects to buy your high-ticket offer, chances are you’re selling a Tool. And there are a hundred other businesses selling the same tool, all competing on price. Turn your Tool into a Model. Show your prospects a process and what their life looks like after they complete it. Now, you have a compelling sales argument for why your product is priced at a premium. Don’t leave it up to your prospects to figure out the value of what you provide. Their response will be, “Why should I pay so much for that?” Instead, demonstrate your value in detail so there is no doubt in their mind that your product is worth the investment. Are you selling a Tool? How would you turn that tool into a Model? Tell me in the comments below and I’ll give you feedback on how you can improve it.

How Models And Diagrams Help Enroll More Customers | #108
Pretty pictures pull more prospects. When I first came up with the 3-tiered offer model for High Ticket Courses, I tried explaining it to people verbally. And as I talked to them face-to-face, I could see they didn't get it. Something just wasn't clicking. But I had to find a way to make them "get it." In my mind, I started seeing shapes. I had a vision for how I could explain my model to people and make it instantly make sense. That's where the 3 triangles came from for the Perfect Expert model. I was listening to Dan Sullivan the other day and he was talking about diagrams. And I realized I hadn't talked about this yet on Sold With Webinars. So, here's my perspective on the topic in this week's episode.

How to get prospects to sell themselves with UM | #105
I spent some time last week working within the High Ticket Courses group. They were asking a lot of questions on the sales process and how to boost their conversion rates. The advice that I gave them is really beneficial for any industry or product. --> I focus on the application form. Pre-framing before they get on the sales call. Do not copy and paste from someone else - create what is UNIQUE to you. You MUST re-create your own assessment form or application form. It MUST speak to your mechanism. You want to connect with them on the form, you want to review their forms. No lead is hotter than the lead who just clicked SUBMIT on their application form. If you ask BETTER QUESTIONS, you will get BETTER LEADS. Focus on a few key things: Promise / Offer Unique mechanism WHY? What to specifically include... Additionally... Step #1: Get the prospects to sell themselves by repeating your unique mechanism. And if they are not doing this,then they are saying that they did not like your presentation or connect with you because of xyz. You know that you need to go back and edit. But when they are repeating your mechanisms then BOOM you know you got a winner. Step #2: Repeat your promise throughout your ENTIRE presentation and sales process. This is how you get your prospects to sell themselves and increase the quality of your leads. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If you like what you heard today, check out our recent podcasts on iTunes and comment!

Eliminating Sales Conversations? | #104
Everyone wants to: Reduce no show rates, Get better prospects, How to insure sales team effectiveness. New Goal: Eliminate the sales conversations. Today may be a bit controversial and I do not want it to be taken the wrong way. A big choke-point can be the sales conversations and the sales process. I speak with a client about this and share the results with you... Create a new and unique assessment form Assessment: assessing that they are the right client BIG ADVICE: re-frame everything that you are doing as "how is this going to benefit my customer?" "What can you do for the customer...?" Ask better questions framed around core promise Examples Remind prospects of what they are getting from this program Sales first -> marketing second You ask vague questions, you will get vague answers and unqualified prospects! I do not believe that we really need to follow a "sales script" --> This will increase your close rate with enrollment conversations.

Aspirational Marketing Will Change Your Business | #102
"...Now you have them thinking in terms of a new process - 'what is this guy's secret sauce'? This is how you position yourself as a high ticket program or course for a difficult niche to sell to... All about turning the intangible into the tangle and speaking in terms of aspirational viewpoints. That is what will make a difference." - Joel Today I have spent some time speaking with our high ticket courses clients. I spoke with some clients who have a difficult niche like personal development, etc. They are concerned that they will not make it because they do not have a "get rich" program. They are INCORRECT! It's about your power offer. Position yourself as a high ticket course. When we are in the world of direct response marketing, we need to make the intangible tangible. How can we create this? ex: Helping someone get through grief... Helping someone with divorce, etc. In this episode I will go through one of my calls with a current high ticket courses buyer. Investing mindset: those who can see the longterm potential and put in the effort to see what they can become. Not the "I need a magic pill now" people, those who understand and want the real long term solution. Marketing: "I want to help you to become..." versus a quick band-aid. How? I share a sample ad.

Conversion Rate Optimization Behind The Scenes | #101
"Your message attracts and repels people" -Joel A peek inside what we have been working on and how things are working for us... Behind the Scenes: I am a huge advocate for messaging; the right messaging for the right buyers. So how can we test while spending less. Our ads have hit a stagnant point, a scaling block. I think we have hit our threshold with the message and the audience. So we need to change our audience and change our message to appeal to this audience. We are currently in testing mode. Conversion rate optimization is what we are really learning. Scroll rates, where are they dropping off, etc. So what's on the horizon: Nobody is really teaching rate optimization from ad to funnel; I want to change this; I am working on how to optimize every step on the customer journey from click to close. My new GOAL: how can we measure, optimize and monitor every step. Through our testing, my cost per link clicks has gotten as low as 20 cents! So I will be continuing our testing and will fill you in as we move forward... Exciting things ahead, I promise!

Somebody went there typing in "How to make money online," or "How to run a webinar," or "How to run a live stream," or whatever, and then they bump into a channel which you happen to be targeting with your YouTube ads, and so your YouTube ad loads before the video they just clicked on.

State of the Webinar Industry from the Aspect of Technology with Agnes Jozwiak | #069
What we noticed on our live webinars is that while we used to have about a 40% attendance rate, we are now down to 10-15% show up rate.

The KEY To Having Long Term Success With Your Webinars | #068
"When you jump online you want to make sure that your audience is online...easily targetable...whatever market you go after, make sure that there is a constant pool of replenishment..." ---Welcome to today's episode!--- Do you ever get that "Lightbulb moment?" Well, today --> I had that feeling. Shiny object syndrome for sure! So I had to jump on my podcast and record this for you today! I have been taking more calls lately, talking to prospects and listening to their needs... hearing their needs. Recently I spoke with a prospect. They mentioned they were sick and tired of buying this and that program and following this and that training. He had a successful business, but was in a constant up and down... something I am sure we can all relate to. He really wanted to get his lead generation dialed in... his messaging and offer needed to be dialed in. And was concerned about "is my market going to be reachable." My suggestion: start testing. But if you are out there wondering who your next market is going to be... the one thing you need to make sure of is that that market is going to be available online and your market is large enough to be replenished. My process: Start out with the most intimate level first - we use my "mini-webinar method" and "perfect expert model" using direct response marketing. Then I move to mass market webinars or my high ticket offer. -- How can you figure out if your audience is constantly replenishing? Easiest way - run some test runs; $100, $200, $500 to try and generate some applications. If it is not working, dial in your message and your offer.

The Expert's Dilemma? Why Your Competitors Are Outselling You | #066
As you are going through and creating your marketing materials, creating your webinars and creating your offers. You can not get jealous that/if others are outselling you. You have the best thing in the world and it is your duty to get your messages and products or services out to your audience. You can't do that by sitting on the sidelines. ---Welcome to another episode of Sold With Webinars! It is our first episode of 2019! So Happy New Year!--- I wanted to chat with you about some things that I have been hearing on calls with current clients as well as on sales calls. It is so important to know what our markets' fears, concerns, etc are. One example: I spoke to a prospective client about a product he has been sitting on for a long, long, long time. I had to keep asking "how can I help?" He would cut me off and avoid answering the question. Finally, when he did answer he said this: "Joel, I have this product that is a game changer... the best thing in the market place, and I am sick and tired of watching all of these other marketers outsell me...They have an inferior product... I know I have the best product in the market." Expert's Dilemma: Where we have anxiety and animosity towards others because they are outselling us and our "own" products. We just can't get out of our own way. Which leads us to the Expert's Curse - we are too close to our product and we just can't get out of our own way. These are the two things that will limit us! You have the best thing in the world, and it is your duty to get your product out to your audience Thanks for listening to this episode!

Kern vs Brunson - Which Webinar Wins | #064
"The way that I view webinars is 80% emotion, story, teaching and content and 20% stats... pick whatever percentages you'd like. Whatever you are comfortable with." Today, I am going to pit two very well-known marketers head to head! Two very good and very different marketers. If you ever wondered how to sell on webinars or what style to use? Well, this episode is for YOU. If you are part of The Webinar Vault, then you know that I am going through tons of webinars every month and critiquing the best ones for you. There is no right way to do anything, but our personalities are all different so our marketing, our webinar styles should differ slightly. So both Frank Kern and Russell Brunson are very successful and wildly different, which is why I want to use them for this episode. Which one is better? Which one is RIGHT FOR YOU - that is what you should be asking yourself. Frank is very fact driven, so you may see alot of facts and figures in his presentations; logical-based arguments. While Russell is more emotional - he tells stories. Telling stories allows your prospects to think about and see what is possible. Very different strategies but each effective depending on who you are going after. They are probably closing completely different clients. There is no one way to do an effective sales presentation, there is no one perfect webinar strategy. I personally teach framework rather than formulas. It's a combination of logic and emotion, that's my style. So who wins? Consider who YOUR audience is. You want your audience to know your truthful. Know them and steer your tactics to that. Remember to do what feels most comfortable to you. ---------------Thanks for listening! Let us know if you enjoyed this episode! Look below for how to connect with us! Get your free case study here.

Making Mega Shifts With Zero To One | #063
"When we really focus on things that really move the needle, that create big changes, that's going from zero - one. Pushing that needle to craft that next big idea or new hooks; that's going from 1 - N or from two sales to four sales, or four to five; whatever that is to you. That's the incremental process. So in this episode, I am going to share with you some ideas of what really moves the needle. These ideas are what I share with my private clients and those who have come to my live events. Big needle movers is what we look at first; big changes, that is what is most important; Examine your hook, is it unique? Examine your stats, are people showing up? Incremental improvements lead to BIG changes and big needle movers; So how can you go from zero - 1 with your marketing angles? How can you bring new concepts that people have never heard of before because nobody wants to buy an improvement, they want to buy a saving grace, a life line, anything that will take them to "hell island to heaven island"? Test those brand-new ideas and explore some cross disciplinary research. **Take action now** Book Recommendation that I referred to in this episode: Zero to One by Peter Thiel If you are interested in learning more about how we can help you visit The Perfect Expert for details.

Don't Do a Webinar? | #062
The more that we do this... the more that we focus on this and see the incredible results we get for our clients, the more that we see that the industry is completely misinformed...completely uneducated. Not in a bad way. But there is something out there that people are believing that is not necessarily true. So this is an update on what's happening in our agency! We are doing a ton of custom work and have been noticing a trend over the last few months. Today I will discuss these trends. Most of our clients are course creators, coaches and consultants. Sometime service providers, who are all looking for webinars. But to be honest, we have been re-directing our efforts on doing things a little differently. In a different order. Rather than building the webinar out right away we have been setting it aside to prepare first; learn the ideal audience and what they want and how they want it ... then we create the webinar. You really need to listen in for the details. Listen to how we start with a profitable email campaign then build out a webinar step by step. This is really interesting. There is a science to it and a psychology behind it. No one else is doing this and it is something that I believe is essential moving forward in our industry. I hope you enjoy this episode!

Why we DON'T list build... | #061
"Let me give you a $19,000 marketing lesson" How will this apply to you? In this episode, I will tell you about how I fell on my face and then how I came out on top... Today's podcast was inspired by an ad I just saw by Todd Brown. Ready... -- "I like my chicken organic, and my traffic paid" -- SO here's a $19,000 marketing lesson that I paid for and learned the hard way. In this episode: Why we do NOT focus on list building; I was lured by the marketing language that I helped to create; Launched a huge campaign that got crickets...nothing; Versus a "nurturing" campaign... also crickets; Freebie seekers. "Although free traffic can work, I am all about the increase of value per subscriber than the actual list size." Power Offer campaigns--- phase 1: marketing into content phase 2: webinar creation Results: List size of 160, revenue = $25K Incredible! Bottom line, list size does not matter. I want lists of buyers and responsive individuals because that is more important than anything. Check out The Webinar Vaultfor an inside look at how I review and critique webinars.

The Solution For More Sales? | #060
"Our job is to simplify things as much as humanly possible so that by the time they get to the end of your sales pitch or offer, it is a NO BRAINER for them...You are giving them everything that they need and nothing else, to succeed." Another episode of Sold With Webinars! Welcome! I've been noticing a lot of things in the webinar world... JV Webinars. This is an interesting world! Right now I am working on 3 or 4 and as I was speaking to someone about what was working and what wasn't. So the jist... Converting VS. Not The ones that convert really well (10-15%), the webinars are all about simplicity. Do not complicate what people want to buy! When people want a transformation, your audience needs to believe that it is simple for them. Make them [the audience] realize there is ONE thing they need to do. "A confused mind, doesn't buy!" Remember that --> KEEP THINGS SIMPLE, BE MORE DIRECT. Check out The Webinar Vault for an inside look at how I review and critique webinars.

500X Webinar Boost With NEW Messenger Bots | #059
Hey - what's going on, webinar pros? Oh boy - you guys are in for a treat! Welcome to another episode of Sold with Webinars. Changing it up today; we have a guest expert. Someone I am bringing on THREE times now. You know if I have someone on my show three times, they are good! Travis Stephenson is an affiliate marketer, software entrepreneur, marketing coach and public speaker in addition to being a webinar expert! He has a very interesting method of boosting his sales using messenger bots! Travis is the CEO at Chatmatic; is an Affiliate Marketing and Affiliate Marketing trainer. He specializes in teaching people how to create a businesses for themselves or helping people grow their already running business to a new scale. Whether it's a brick and mortar business or an online based business, he helps those companies get more traffic to their site/ store. State of the industry: Number 1: Messenger is not going to replace email. Messenger is, at its core, a conversation. Nothing can convince someone to buy quicker than talking with them. There is a comfort in knowing that you will be able to speak with someone. The most effective thing you can do is let the conversation allow that person to out of their own way. You can buy engagement BUT you cannot buy conversation -- because it has to be REAL. We tested in with $30K --> the results were incredible!! --> We reached more people, our lead cost went way down and our sales went way up. Plus: Advantage of using conversation aka messenger bots Be the "speaker on the stage"; How do I get more people to sign up or show up for the webinar?; The difference between comment baiting and incentivizing conversation; Messenger BOT sounds very automated... it's NOT at all, it needs to be personal! Do not think of it as "messenger or email", look at it as an asset deliverable program. "We expect the world to come to us now"... so do not ignore it, messenger is a way for them to connect with you.

Stop Leaving Money On The Table! | #058
Welcome to another episode of Sold With Webinars! I recorded this episode specifically for you because I want YOU to make more money with your business! I want YOU to stop treating your webinar as a product and I want you to start thinking of how you can 5 or 10X your business without any extra effort. This episode is kind of a rant, but I am sick and tired of people buying into the fact that they need this $997 course, that it will be their golden ticket! It might be the ticket, but it won't be ever-lasting... so without further ado... If you have been following any of the big name marketers, you have also probably been leaving money on the table. Falling victim to the $997 curse! Everyone thinks they need the $997 course. I don't know why it has been hammered into our heads that we need this. But those who are successful in selling their $997 course, are over delivering. What I mean by that is, some of my clients have been providing over the top support, access, coaching for minimal profits a month minus all that fulfillment overhead. Make the shift: understand your true value and what people really want to pay for. Stop the cycle, stop the burn-out. Rule #1 - do not offer lifetime access as a bonus. The real money is made on the back-end. People don't want to buy courses, they want to pay for access. Think about it, a book only costs $5-$10. Why? Because it comes with no access. Once you build your webinar as a business model, leverage your webinar, you can 10X your value. How? It's by adding support and implementation help... but for an extra cost. How can you work this into your business? Don't cannibalize your back-end! Thanks for listening! Check out www.soldwithwebinars.com for an inside look at how I review and critique webinars.

The Record Has Been Broken! | #057
Today I am going to share our webinar funnel that BROKE all SALES RECORDS! This will be a quick episode and one that you won't want to miss.... The more I read about marketing, the more I realize how little I know. Meaning, the more I research marketing, the more opportunities that arise. In the world of marketing, there are two angles that most people believe in, "you can lead with pain or you can lead with pleasure." So, which one do you think would perform better? Do you thinking leading with pain would lead to a higher response rate or leading with a pleasure? Prior to about 5 weeks ago, I would have said that leading with a pain would produce a higher response. Not so with this client of mine! We were building a mini-webinar and although there is always a little bit of uncertainty when you launch, we lead with pleasure with this campaign. This client had AMAZING results! --> LISTEN for results --> Closed a $10,000 offer with $54 ad spend! --> Closed two after the first 10 leads. That's $20,000 almost immediately with a $54 ad spend! This is just incredible. I am always learning. "Never assume what you think is going to be right." Check out www.soldwithwebinars.com for an inside look at how I review and critique webinars.

No buyers? You NEED to listen to this | #054
Hey, what's going on Experts? Welcome to another episode of Sold With Webinars! I have never been more excited about a podcast episode as I am with this one! What does a bowl of fruit, wrapping paper, boxes and Christmas presents have in common? If you have ever struggled to get a response with your marketing and sales messages, you HAVE to listen to this. This is one of the BIGGEST breakthroughs we have had! This can apply to everything in your business especially webinars. And if you like what you hear - email me because I WANT to know what you thought of this episode; joel@thewebinaragency.com Over the past couple of weeks, we have been doing some amazing things! We have been working with some awesome clients - I have had numerous power offer calls over the last couple of days with our The Perfect Experts clients. What is so cool is that these clients are getting RESULTS IMMEDIATELY. So what if people aren't responding to you? How have we dealt with this? "Square peg, round hole with a really really really heavy hammer" Think about whenever you get a present -> you are so excited about what's inside as a recipient! Wait... how does this relate to sales messaging, presentation, perception? We are so focused on the box, the wrapping the paper, the shell... but what your buyers really want is what's inside. Are you too in love with your product or system that don't realize that your customers only care about what is inside? "Sell the fruit, not the bowl!" Interested in The Perfect Expert?

The group got to listen to me watch the webinar live and break it down. Literally everyone got a peek into how my brain operates when I break down webinars for my clients. Now I am not going to give away all the secrets, but here are some of the things I wanted to share with you now: Dr. Axe paired up two funnels into one; The "Mega Funnel" was AWESOME; When I build/write webinars I am always crafting the messaging, content and angles. This is all of your hot, warm, and cold traffic content - USE THIS CONTENT again and again; Repurposed content is what we do -> when you complete your webinar you are also completing content that can be used in different forms and in different places; So many "ah-ha" moments during my live... I want to inspire you -> WEBINARS can be used in so many places. You can get so much traction out of one webinar; treat it as fifteen pieces of content, not just one.

Where To Use Your Webinar For Maximum Impact | #052
Today we are discussing: Where is the best place for our webinar within our grand marketing space? There are many ways to apply a webinar. When speaking with clients, I am always looking for the answer to this question: "Where is this webinar going within your product or suite of offers?" Number 1: DIAL IN YOUR OFFER Number 2: Quickest way to monetize the offer So where will the webinar be the most effective? When is broad too broad? How large is your mass market really? Dominate one market first... then expand. Example: Dominate the webinar market, then move into our new business, Experts Unleashed. Become an EXPERT, take the time to really research and practice your expertise. And continue to learn. So where does a webinar fit in your marketing scheme... If you are doing a direct selling webinar then you want to make sure that you can get people on your webinar affordably. This will take some trial and error, but it could be the best use of your time and money. Find that sweet spot between too mass market vs. too niche. Please Join Us!

Updated Stats On The Free Funnel... | #051
Update on the stats of our free funnel... Lots of lessons learned and content to absorb... This will literally transform your business... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fulfilling on my promise, I will update you on our free funnel. The way I think about business and selling is not to necessarily lead with free. "Free campaign" info and results: Top of mind vs free content Approach: LEAD with an OFFER But I tested leading with free..so how did it work? Facebook Group, five day challenge I assumed -> high engagement but ultimately enabling people to follow me for free content Results -> Day 1: Massive spike in engagement -> Day 5: Engagement was zero Offers were made and content dripped out throughout the week Not one single person applied Maybe 1 or 2 people converted to the free trial with only 1 actually paying for the subscription Total profit: $97 My typical campaign would consist of promoting to a small hot list, lead with stories of inspirational and testimonials; converted $60k in revenue plus back end sales. Earnings per lead - $75. ((Listen in for more examples)) So essentially I made more off the leads who were interested in my offer as opposed to those who I gave content away for free too. "When you lead with free, you attract people who are naturally not going to buy. When you lead with an offer, you are hyper-qualifying people and getting them interested in what you can offer. Everyone is looking for a solution!" "When you lead with an offer you get people to know you can solve a problem...You give them permission to market." Content is still king, but you need to do it in the proper order. I recently went out to LA to consult with a client. He has an unbelievable offer! My client was talking about this idea of how people are afraid to make offers. You have people who are great at direct response and others who are brand awareness/audience builders. We chatted about some big name influencers who are terrified to make offers! Revenue is what keeps your business pumping. The Perfect Expert is being able to leverage your ability to make offers to your audience and then build your audience. Your audience will then become so much more valuable. Bottom line: Train your audience to take action to offers you make. If this episode resonates with you, drop me a link at joel@thewebinaragency.com Please Join Us!

Diagnosing Broken Webinars | #050
Today we have an amazing solo-podcast! I want to talk about something that is very common...people always ask me: "Joel, how do I know how to fix my broken webinar?" If you launch a webinar and it does not convert; how do I go about fixing it? How do I do this for my clients to maximize conversions? That is what I will discuss today - the steps that I take when I am diagnosing my clients webinars! And I am also spilling the beans on my most powerful method!

The Ultimate Combo Of Webinars And Seminars with Simone Vincenzi | #49

Things To Consider When Hiring A Sales Staff with Mike Mark | #48
It's important to realize that once we start to scale a type of lead gen, hiring a sales staff is one of the most important things to consider. We use high ticket webinars to market and attract high ticket leads for our business whether that is for service-based businesses or high end offers for coaching or consulting. That's what we use the webinars for, but we want to figure out is how do we convert them when we get them on the phone? What are the different skill sets, tactics, and strategies to close high ticket deals? Let's face it, we don't have time to spend on the phone day in and day out, working with all of those leads. At a certain point, you need to get off the phone so you can focus on fulfillment, on operations, and on perfecting your craft. That’s when you need to bring on a sales staff. Sales expert Mike Mark says there’s a lot to consider when hiring a sales staff. If you're looking to grow your business through hiring sales staff, there's no one better to learn from than Mark who has been doing this for a very long time.

Using Metaphors To Connect With Your Audience | #47
If you have been studying marketing for a while, you've probably had people tell you that you need to tell stories. What does it mean to be able to tell effective stories? It’s all about knowing the importance of using metaphors. The word metaphor may or may not mean anything to you, but it is the ability to relate to complex topics with something tangible that your audience can understand. When you get way too complicated with how smart you are and you want to teach your prospect or your audience everything under the sun, we fall into the expert’s curse. We confuse our prospects and we’re boring our audience to death. When it comes to sales and converting your prospect into believing that they should be buying your product or service, the last thing in the world that you want to do is impress them with how much you know. The only thing they care about is what is it going to do for me? Learn how you can use metaphors to successfully convey messages, connect with your audience or prospect, and sell your stuff online.

The Five-Day Marketing Funnel Challenge | #46
There is a time and place for marketing and sales. We’re launching The Five-Day Marketing Funnel Challenge. Using the chicken and egg analogy to marketing versus sales, what do you think comes first? The chicken or the egg? Marketing or sales? A lot of people will answer marketing because marketing makes sales easy. That is not totally true. Sales comes before the marketing. You have to raise people's awareness level on your offer to get permission to market to them. This is not about rewriting marketing and sales rule books. It’s about trying to make you a thousand times more effective with your marketing. The Marketing Funnel Challenge is all about what is more effective for launching new offers. Having that insight of the marketing funnel will improve the quality of customers and leads coming into the ecosystem.

How To Optimize Your Webinars | #045
How are you going to optimize your webinars? If you have a piece of content that you are sharing with your audience, why do they need to pay attention? If you're going through your webinar and you include three, four, five pieces of content that you want to share with them, why is each piece of content important? If you're adding components to your offer, why is each component important? This sounds simple, but it is not easy and it is very important. If you could explain the reasons why with everything that you talk about, you will become a much more effective communicator in all of your messages, marketing, and sales language and drastically improve your conversions.

So, you’ve priced your information product at $997 because all the cool kids are doing it.

Episode Discussions: Is your ask too big? How an ask held a cold traffic webinar to one sale Building trust with membership sites Commitment as a barrier Lowering commitment levels to increase sales Ascending your audience to higher-level programs Leveraging your existing content to improve conversions Ask yourself these questions if you’re struggling to convert [4:23] People are leaving so much money on the table by trying to go for the home run with the webinar. [5:00] Understand the magnitude of your ask in terms of what your audience has to commit to learning.

[8:39] Think in terms of the customer journey and how much work is involved to achieve success.

[10:28] Think about different ways to ascend them to different offers and higher-level programs so they start educating themselves more. [10:47] Let your teaching do the selling for you. [11:34] If you're struggling, think about how big your ask is, assuming money is a non-issue. How else can you leverage content you’ve already created to convert them?

How To Sell $20K Offers With A Broken Webinar w/ Caleb O’Dowd | #034
Picture this… It’s minutes before your webinar starts. You know —the one that showcases your $20K offer. You’re shadowboxing to Eye of the Tiger when all the sudden your slide deck goes on strike. Is it possible to recover from a technical mishap and still crush it? Caleb O’Dowd did. In fact, he closed 30% of his audience. If that didn’t impress you, he had a webinar that did over $7MM in sales in 2017. In other words — he’s the man. In this episode, learn the secrets behind his conversion superpowers and how he’s harnessed tonality and passion to whip attendees into an emotional buying frenzy. Did we mention he got his start working with Gary Halbert? Episode Discussions: Repositioning offers to crush conversions Selling more with tonality, delivery, and passion The conversion-boosting "mentorship loan" offer you’ve never heard of Strengthen weak copy in your webinar script Breakdown of a 2017 $7MM webinar Outdoing yourself and evolving your webinar to stay relevant The “Two Friends Talking” example that stirs curiosity You may have an excellent offer but is it going to the right audience? Keeping your audience engaged for 3+ hour webinars Training attendees to buy using The Yes Ladder technique One of the biggest secrets to selling anything Could having the camera on kill your response? Effective positioning against competitors [2:25] Caleb's origin story: Got his start working with Gary Halbert Started selling high-ticket items with webinars several years ago Got hooked when he realized there was no faster way to generate millions of dollars in such a short period of time [4:23] "One of the big secrets to selling anything is to truly believe in your heart and soul that what it is you're selling is valuable and potentially life-saving."-CO [6:13] The image you want to portray when hosting a webinar: Visualize two friends talking and having a good time. See their conversation as they’re laughing and joking with each other. You're naturally attracted and curious as to what they're talking about. [7:17] Tonality and Delivery. Use energy, power and enthusiasm to captivate your audience. If you're not a passionate person, fake it ‘till you make it! "You can whip people into an emotional buying frenzy."-CO [9:36] "People are buying YOU the presenter. If you don't have the greatest slide deck or script, they will buy your passion above all." [11:04] Caleb's slide deck crashed right before his webinar for a $20K offer but still closed 30% of his audience using passion and delivery. [12:01] He doesn't like to have the camera on during webinars. In his experience, "it kills response." [17:22] In 2017, he launched ‘The Newspaper Profit Formula’ for $3K with fair results. Repositioning the webinar to ‘Supplement Business Launch Formula,’ generated $363K. [20:18] Keep your audience engaged for long webinars and effectively position your products against competitors. [28:39] The ‘Yes Ladder’: ask your audience questions that are easy to say yes to — ultimately training them to say yes to your offer. [34:22] Attendees need to feel like they're better off because of your training program and learn something positive even if they didn't buy. [35:10] The conversion-boosting "mentorship loan" offer: Positions the product to be ultimately far more valuable than asking price Performance-based guarantee Demonstration of belief [37:40] Evolving and updating your webinar to stay relevant: One thing isn't going to work forever. "If the webinar that you have today is the same as the webinar you were using 2 or 3 years ago, you're probably boring the crap out of your audience and certainly your marketplace."

[8:58] Clients typically see results within 24 hours to 1 month from campaign launch. [9:14] The webinar is also packaged for freelancers and other agencies to include 5-star reviews as a service. [11:22] “You may be really close to something and just need to change the positioning of who you're selling it to...you might be just one reframe away." [12:30] What made the webinar successful? Transparency - about what was being taught on the webinar Curiosity based ads - helped with show up rate and dropped cost per lead from $21 to $6.

Longer video format ad had higher cost per registrant but had the best cost per sale. Social proof: Screenshots from Facebook group, emails, collecting testimonials via automation. [41:47] Pain-based ads vs desire-based ads (inspired by SWW Guest Jon Tarr) Desire-based ads attract wishful thinkers (no commitment) Connect with them on a current pain (committed to solving their problem) [42:54] "We're super grateful for you and this podcast has been an amazing resource for us as we become more and more of webinar junkies ourselves.” Connect with Mike and AJ Agencymastermind.com/learn Agency Mastermind group on Facebook Anchorwave.com Mentioned in this episode: Interview with Dan Henry – Episode 19 Interview with Molly Keyser - Episode 21 Interview with Jon Tarr - Episode 32 Follow and watch a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m personally launching a brand new 6 & 7 figure product from scratch at SoldWithWebinars.com/TV Join our Facebook group at SoldWithWebinars.com/Experts

How to Create and Sell $5.6MM In Under 15 Minutes from a Webinar w/ Jon Tarr | #032
Jon Tarr wrote a $5.6 million-dollar webinar 15 minutes before go time. No gimmicks. No hype. No sleazy marketing tactics. He did it ethically and — might we add — successfully. Was it flawless? No. But that just proves how overrated perfection is. Hit the right points, say the right things, be transparent and authentic. Jon shows you how to do it all in this episode. Episode Discussions: Address the main question every webinar attendee has Why giving content away leads to more buying objections Use Jon’s 3-phase launch strategy to test your offer’s viability Jon's winning storytelling formula that motivates buyers Why longer Q&A sessions lead to more sales A must-use script for handling overly inquisitive Q&A's with class Teaser content does more harm than good Uncover your market's core desires with this Travis Sago analogy Marketing to entrepreneurs vs. non-entrepreneurs Sell the end result or lead with pain points? Effectively frame and setup offers on your webinar Pre-framing offers and the importance of offer transparency The educational side of cryptocurrency [2:29] Jon’s story: "Super weird" because “parents were weird” (entrepreneur dad, accountant mom) Real estate investor turned direct response marketer Infused knowledge and experience with online marketing strategies Superpower: build and convert massive audiences [7:22] Jon's 3 Phase Launch Strategy Phase 1: Create the offer Phase 2: Promote and scale to affiliates and JV's Phase 3: Cold traffic [8:12] Use the 3 phases to test conversions viability Create the offer and present it to your audience. If it doesn't convert, it won't be successful. If it's promoted to JV traffic and doesn't convert, it won't work in phase 3. [9:14] Jon’s 1st webinar offer: Facebook Traffic Jam in 2013 Wrote it 15 minutes before going live Sold 800 people into a $7K or $9K price point totaling over $5.6 MM in revenue. [10:32] How did you do it? Talk to people like they're people. Understand that nobody cares about you...they care about what you can do for them. "If you go on a webinar and you treat people really nice and show them how you can help them solve a problem, they're gonna buy your stuff. That's how I always start a webinar." [12:56] Jon's sales webinar content: Gives content without giving too much content. Creates and illustrates a story. Opens minds to, "Hey this is what I do. If you join me I'll show you how to do it." [14:44] "Stories sell. One of the things we teach is how to sell your product before you ever get to the offer."-JE [15:54] "Will it work for me?" You can't give ammunition to that question. When you simplify it, make it a story and give them the result. It eliminates that question. [17:42] Craft a successful webinar by talking to your customers. [20:01] Jon explains how he sold Virtual Cash Machine in 2014 for $7K, direct sales to cold traffic. [20:55] "The number one thing I see people do Joel — and it's so simple in my opinion, — is they get caught up in what they wanna sell and not what their customer wants." [24:59] Knowing and marketing to your audience - "Picture Hell Island and Heaven Island and in between are the sharks in the water..." [27:09] Write copy that avoids bogging your audience with details. Instead, create stories that support the overall model. [28:23] Sell the end result or lead with pain points? It depends on the market. Travis Sago says...Entrepreneurs "run to heaven," non-entrepreneurs typically "flee hell." [31:29] How do you frame, present and set up the offer on your webinars? "I always do the offer stack and bullets. I'm a biiiig bullet guy." [33:52] Do you pre-frame the offer before getting to the CTA link? When I open my webinar, I'm like, 'Here's what we're gonna cover AND I'm gonna give you an opportunity to work with us and you're gonna wanna do that and you're gonna be happy about it." [35:36] Teaser content does more harm than good especially with cold traffic. Let them know you're in the business of helping people. [37:00] "People aren't stupid...The minute you're not [honest], you're done, just like in a marriage, right? You build trust and it only takes one lie to bring down years of marriage, so why do it?" [40:06] A must-use script for handling overly inquisitive Q&A's with composure and class. [45:31] “Just be a person. Talk to people on a webinar like you would if you're there, and I think that's what's made the difference for me."

How to Create the Ultimate Course for Repeat Buyers with Dr. Carrie Rose| #031
Did you hear the news? Online learning is a multibillion dollar industry! Ok. That’s not “news.” But you might perk your ears to the meager 3-5% course completion rate that could be killing the back end of your funnel. This episode may not be saturated with webinar talk but it will help you course creators increase the quality and long-term profitability of your course. Dr. Carrie Rose had dedicated the entirety of her professional career into learning management curriculum. She’s the founder of Of Course, a company that helps entrepreneurs successfully get their message out with online courses. In this episode, Carrie unpacks how to optimize your course for maximum engagement and course completion rates that shape students into loyal repeat buyers. Episode Discussions: Videos vs written course content Increasing engagement and retention with course bots Elements for the perfect online course How a low course completion rate impacts your funnel Why long course videos aren't typically effective Online learning studies and stats Application components should come standard Carrie’s ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ course model Ideal video lengths for online courses Letting go of the ego around your content Dripping content vs all access How to increase course completion rates Email automation and alternatives for the non-techie Should you include a ‘mindset’ module? Teaching foundational concepts Lessons in effective instructor leadership What makes the best course length? Creating consumable content for kinesthetic and other learning types [3:04] Dr. Carrie ‘The Great’ Rose's story: Born with Selective Mutism Started 5th grade dyslexic and not knowing how to read One teacher in one year helped her earn the school's highest standardized test score ever Spent 10 years in public education working with students with a low socioeconomic background Randomly introduced to online marketing at a World of Beers and took online courses to better understand it Created a process based on over 500 research studies on how the human brain connects to content and uses it to create better courses [8:00] Of Course is based on the freedom lifestyle and creating life-changing impact. [10:14] Online course stats: Dr. Rose states that online learning is a $255 billion-dollar industry with a 3-5% completion rate. Industry leaders are recognizing the impact of disparity on the back-end of their funnels. [12:58] What makes the perfect course? [Course creators] have to think we're one piece of the puzzle. It's never about how we learn, it’s always about how they learn." [13:49] Film the video, strip the audio and transcribe it to appeal to different learning styles. [14:23] Kinesthetic learners learn by doing and account for 15% of the population. They tend to be left-handed and have ADHD. [15:11] Application components should come standard in all courses. [16:21] Video length: "Having a 40-minute video is just crazy." Seminar study shows viewers fall off at the 7-minute mark. 3-5 minutes is ideal. [17:43] Carrie's 'Choose Your Own Adventure' model. Adults are self-selective learners. [20:42] Course creators need to let go of their ego around their content. [22:17] Drip the content out or give them all access? "Treat people how you want to be treated...if you don't have a reason [to drip content], you're taking their time again." [24:33] Jason Swank's automated email method accommodates student's schedules and course commitment. [25:52] Non-techie alternative: have students write course and module completion dates in their calendar or in their phone. [27:02] Course bots: Courses with accountability partners have an average of 3x higher completion rates. Course bots interact and go through the course with students. Model them after your personality. Add gifs. Create engagement and ask them questions. [32:04] Ideal course length: "It's kind of a catch 22. I want to see people teach an inch wide and a mile deep as opposed to a mile wide and an inch deep." [34:57] The importance of teaching foundations, mindset, and framing your content for a more effective learning experience. [39:14] "My goal is to make you self-reliant, it's not to make you dependent on me."

Episode Discussions: How influencer marketing works on Instagram The secret world of Instagram The 4 posts you need for an Instagram Story promotion What to look for in an Instagram influencer and how to reach out How to optimize text in Instagram posts for max engagement Which posts are more likely to get engagement The cost of hiring an Instagram influencer to promote you Instagram algorithm hack to 3x your post’s exposure How to negotiate with and persuade reluctant influencers Targeting highly qualified traffic on Instagram Instagram analytics and leveraging the algorithm How to monetize your brand as an Instagram influencer How to grow a brand-new Instagram account quickly Using Powerlikes, and high-authority accounts to promote your webinar [3:18] Josue's story: From the Dominican Republic Initially started with social media to become a pro soccer player Refused an offer in favor of entrepreneurship Applied traditional business knowledge to Instagram strategy Grew account to over 4.5 million followers [7:50] Maxed out 1000 attendee cap during 1st webinar. Pitched to over 800 people and generated 5 figures [8:47] How influencer marketing works on Instagram: Find Instagram accounts targeting your audience and pay them to promote you. Either with an Instagram Story with swipe up or normal post pushes traffic to a link in the influencer’s bio or link to your account bio. [10:45] How to reach out to Instagram influencers: Contact via email, KIK or Telegram messenger link in their bio Approach them as your brand or business to convey credibility and let them know what you're selling Ask what they charge for a promo Establishing a relationship with the influencer will go a long way [14:08] How payment works and why you should only send payment directly to the influencer. [14:54] A typical Instagram Stories promo: 4 separate posts over a 24-hour period Influencers address audience to drive awareness, sell your registration with a CTA to swipe up. [17:09] Between 5-10% of the total follower amount will see the Stories. The same percentage of that audience will swipe up. [17:40] Instagram influencers with personal brands are more powerful than those without. [18:05] A typical Instagram post promo: Create a picture or engaging video and put text within the picture Pay influencer for 1 post with link in bio Make arrangements with the influencer to repost every 4 hours 90% percent of engagement is within the first few hours of posting [21:20] An example of how typical influencers charge and how to 3x your exposure and traffic. [23:44] How to grow a brand-new Instagram account Pay for Powerlikes and comments (not shout out’s) "If you have great content and know what works for your market space and industry, that's like the gasoline on the fire. You'll grow extremely quickly." Powerlikes: Audience sees which posts are liked and commented on by high authority accounts. Instagram surges relevant content from high authority accounts (100k+ followers) [26:37] Negotiating price for likes and comments with influencers: Start the conversation with promotion price to gauge awareness of value and use as leverage when negotiating. Ask Stories and Likes & Comments price If they're reluctant, frame offer benefits in simple terms and concepts [29:19] How to get quality traffic from Instagram: Don't push directly to the webinar Use a lead magnet to warm up audience (with optional Tripwire offer to help cover Adspend) and learn more about buyers Ask influencers for their analytics to assess quality of traffic Connect with Josue Facebook Collective Entrepreneurs Online IGBoss.com for Josue’s webinar Follow and watch a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m personally launching a brand new 6 & 7 figure product from scratch at SoldWithWebinars.com/TV Join our Facebook group at SoldWithWebinars.com/Experts

How To Go From 0-$13k In Less Than 3 Weeks With a MINI WEBINAR | #029
If the term ‘mini webinar’excites you, it should. Especially if you’re just getting started and need to maximize your offer. This episode gives you a sneak peek at the revolutionary concept of a mini webinar and its power to potentially change the way we market and sell online. Don’t miss this short but sweet solo chat where Joel shares how the mini webinar took one client from 0-$13K in less than 21 days. Episode Discussions: The year of"make the darn offer" has paid off The one downside to the direct selling webinar How to ‘Make the Darn Offer’ work for you Building out a real sales funnel A sneak peek at the potent power of the mini webinar How an automated mini webinar generated $13Kin 3 weeks The number one thing you need to focus on before marketing Why ‘no’ is more important than ‘yes’ when first launching a product The threshold you need to be hitting before optimizing your marketing funnel Clients with brand new offers and their $35K & $27K success stories Joel’s Fifty Thousand Dollar Mini Webinar Domination event Making $50K a month a reality [2:45]A client with a coaching program who wanted to work with e-commerce store ownersinvested in Joel less than a month ago. [3:29]Within a week of successfully launching the program using the mini-webinar funnel, the client received his 1st call. [4:11]At the start of 2017, Joel set a goal to simplify his marketing and sales system. “Every time I launched a new initiative, I'd think to myself ‘How can I make this simpler?" [4:45]"The year of ‘Make the Darn Offer" - has paid substantial dividends. [7:45]The only downside to a direct selling webinar is people try them too soon, especially when they're just starting out. [8:27]Joel's client originally wanted to sell his course for $500-$1K but suggestedhe: Sell coaching and implementation services Raise offer to $3K, help customers implement program within 7 days and make at least $10K from their campaign. Do an automated mini-webinar and book calls directly on calendar [10:18]Within the past 3 weeks,Joel’s client has sold 5 programs.The first one sold at $1K, then 4 at $3K (each). Total revenue: $13K [10:49]"The number one thing that you have to focus on before you really even dial in the rest of your marketing is you need to get yes or no as quickly as possible on your offer." [11:16]Talk to your ideal client and get them to say yes or no. ‘No’ is more important in the beginning — figure out why they're sayingno. When you learn that, you can pivot your offer until you start getting yes's. Then you can raise your price. Now you have a real sales funnel. [11:44] Joel is hosting a live event revealing the mini-webinar funnel called The Fifty Thousand Dollar Mini Webinar Domination eventhappening 12/4/17-12/6/17. [12:50]“Make the Darn Offer:” Make the offer as soon as possible Collect data Revise pitch Figure out what people want to buy Dial in everything else When you reach $50k/month, start building in segmentation and follow up sequences [13:52] Ryan was Joel's first Webinar Accelerator client call. Brand-new offer. No paid traffic, going exclusively to internal network. Collected $27,500 in revenue in 4 days. [14:24] Anthony was challenged to break Ryan’s record with his new offer. $35K in new collected revenue within 7 days [14:45]“That $50K a month mark seems like it's a big pie in the sky for a lot of people but [it’s not a lot of work]. It's getting on the phone, talking to people, figuring out what they need and if your offer resonates with the desire and with the need."

The Interview Style Webinar w/ Dan Kuschell | #028
Components of a traditional sales webinar can be shuffled, reframed, and restructured in every which way but essentially, the process and structures are all similar or the same. So when Joel caught wind of Dan Kuschell’s non-traditional interview style webinar that generated 7 figures, he had to investigate. The interview style webinar is a product of Dan’s obsession with psychology and extensive background in direct response marketing, interviewing, and teleseminars. This method isn’t just strategic dialog between host and expert — it’s an entirely unique way of leveraging natural conversation, emotion, and tactical flow to sell with webinars. And in this episode, Dan walks you through the 7-step interview webinar framework and how you can successfully apply it to close more deals in your webinars. Episode Discussions: Combining technology with psychology equals big results Debunking the "marketing is bad" belief Dan Sullivan's definition of selling What’s missing from "know, like, and trust"? The "Oprah" sales model and why it works Trust and respect accelerate sales Adding extra endorsements within the interview and how to make it “real” The webinar interview works with cold traffic if… 7 step interview webinar framework and flow An interview script specifically for high-ticket offers 2 ideals of the one-to-many methodology Offering value to your webinar audience within interview webinars Creating elevated trust and respect with social proof and testimonials The difference between selling more and retaining your sales How the interview style helps with the first draft of your webinar and why it shortens the writing process The pros of being upfront about price A framework to construct offers, CTA's, and outcomes The recurring 24/7 interactive Q&A model Speaking to the elephant in the room (addressing objections) [3:39] Dan’s story: - Fascinated with direct response marketing since he could remember - Dad took him to his first clinic for baseball when he was 10 where he learned: "In baseball, sports, and life, success is 90% mental and the rest physical." - Became obsessed with learning the psychology behind sales after working at a direct mail company out of high school. [4:58] "Today, when you combine psychology and technology, you can get incredible leverage and have incredible breakthroughs when you take the time to learn and master it." [5:16] One-to-many is a leverage methodology with 2 simple ideals: Put yourself in a position to speak to large groups of people at one time Do the work one time and get paid over and over [6:08] "I look at you [Joel] and yes, you're a tactician and that's important but more importantly, you're a scientist from a strategy point of view." [9:59] Dan's first interview style webinar was in 2005 with a JV strategic partner for a $2,495 program. It generated over 6 figures in sales in one night. [11:31] Dan Sullivan's definition of selling: Getting someone intellectually engaged in a future result that's good for them. [12:45] Step 1 and outline of the interview style webinar script [15:54] The host interviews the expert and ultimately facilitates the close. Extra endorsements can be added to make it "real." [17:18] In addition to "know, like, and trust," add “respect”. [18:03] An audience trusts their host and are more likely to respect the endorsement of the guest — trust and respect accelerate sales. The host guides the process but the expert drives the message and enrollment. [21:15] "Speak to the elephant in the room." Calling out your audience's biggest objection. [21:57] The interview script specific to making high-ticket offers. [24:11] "I've discovered in any sales process that rapport is probably the number one factor in whether sales happen or they don't." [24:44] Joel and Dan enact step 2 of the interview style webinar. "There's a difference between selling more and retaining your sales." [26:40] Steps 3-6 (value, education, framing the offer) [29:29] Does this work with cold traffic too? I've seen it work with cold traffic. At the end of the day, it comes down the talent, capabilities, and skillsets we have or don't have overall." [33:18] "Interview style helps get the rough draft out as quickly as possible because you ask a question and rattle on for 5-10 minutes, then edit and revise it." [36:07] Step 7 (transition into close, enrollment) Frame the offer Promise and guarantee Program benefits and outcome Price and how to get started [42:03] The pros of being up front with your audience about price [43:48] A genius recurring 24/7 interactive Q&A model [47:38] “We can use this interview framework to help people get the first draft written because that's the single biggest objection they have.” [47:50] There are about 12 questions during Dan’s interview style webinar format [48:06] A framework to construct offers, CTA's, and outcomes: what is it? what will it give them? what will it do for them? what will that mean for them? connect outcomes to an emotional benefit [51:23] "Most places are focusing on ‘how do you grow and scale to the next level?’ and that's a great place to start. I'm asking a very different question today which is how do you build, grow, and scale a healthy business because the two are very different."

The Webinar Business Card w/ Akbar Sheikh | #026
Akbar Sheikh has used webinars to make multiple 6-figures in his funnel consulting business, and he did it without spending a dime on paid traffic. Instead, he leveraged things he already had in place as a ‘webinar business card.’ In this episode, Akbar shares this simple yet effective business card funnel that got his own side webinar to generate 6 figures in 90 days — without paid traffic or follow-up emails. He does a stellar job of reminding us that simplicity wins almost every time and that you don’t always need paid traffic to be successful. Episode Discussions: How to effectively target your ideal market and people you want to work with ‘The Business Card funnel’ Optimizing your Facebook and LinkedIn profile to attract your ideal customer People want personal, not automation What 2 things to have in place prior to building your funnel Overconsumption without implementation What exactly is funnel hacking? What to do if your webinar failed and why you shouldn’t give up Copying someone else’s webinar funnel doesn’t work Attraction-based marketing is powerful and profitable Easy ways to create authority and get testimonials when you’re just starting out Should your webinar pause? The importance of using statistics in your webinar Bad copy mistakes, the power of words, and when to outsource Overcomplication and complex funnels hurt your business Including your personality, beliefs, and your 'why' into your webinar How to be memorable and connect with your webinar audience [2:25] What makes Akbar special: -Grew up in an entrepreneurial family -Groomed to be in retail and hated it -Ended up homeless -Took 15 years to recover and find something he was passionate about… -Which happened to be internet marketing [4:22] Akbar's 'side webinar' that qualifies ideal prospects Offer: helps people build funnels Simple opt-in page (80% opt-in rate) To autoplay webinar Call to action (CTA) – ‘Schedule a call with Akbar’ To a questionnaire (qualification process) Akbar calls qualified lead (50% closing rate) Generated 6 figures in the last 90 days No paid traffic and no follow-up emails sent [5:45] Akbar's target avatar: Initially targeted existing businesses with plateaued income — not newbies. Now works with serious newbies who offer ethical products/services that will benefit the world. "If you're not working with people that you enjoy, it's going to affect your business big time." [9:17] The Business Card Funnel Optimize your Facebook or LinkedIn profile with a link and description informing your audience that your product/service alleviates their pain point. "People talk about not getting enough traffic. They're their own worst enemy. When I click on people's Facebook profile, it's a joke." [12:30] Automation should only be used when you've got your avatar and offer completely dialed in. [13:02] "Everyone has their own fingerprint. You have to bake your identity into the webinar." - AS [14:23] By including your personality, beliefs, and your big 'why' into your webinar, you attract the type of clients you want to attract. [15:32] Webinars work. If you failed at a webinar, there's a reason. Keep testing, tweaking, and scaling your webinar. Don’t give up. "I've never seen anyone fail who keeps trying, tweaking, implementing and moving forward."- AS [18:56] Getting social proof when you’re a newbie: Be creative to create authority Be vulnerable Highlight your accomplishments Show you're human Offer to do something small and tangible for free in exchange for a testimonial [21:06] Being memorable and connecting with your webinar audience: Make their jaw drop by teaching something powerful Associating that jaw drop with your content creates a solid connection Use statistics Paint a picture of why you do what you do Highlight how you do things differently [23:54] "If your copy is bad, it's like elevator music — forgettable background noise. But if your words serve a purpose, concise and powerful, this creates an orchestra that can create a masterpiece." -AS [24:38] ‘Do what you do best and outsource the rest.’ Don't try and do everything because you're not great at everything. [25:22] Overcomplication is the reason why most people fail in the world of online business. [27:05] Just be yourself. Attraction-based marketing is powerful and profitable.

How to 12x Your Business with Strategic Webinars w/ Sid Bharath | #025
Somebody quadrupled the business of one software company they worked with. Then 12x’d the growth of another software company they worked with. And did it with the help of leveraging over 200 partner webinars. So naturally, we had to get this incredibly intelligent marketer on the show to reveal his strategies. In this episode, the legendary Sid Bharath explains how he strategically used partner webinars to get free traffic, build relationships, and grow LemonStand and Thinkific to exponential heights. Plus, plenty of actionable tips and growth strategies you can implement in your webinar marketing to experience massive results. Episode Discussions: The difference in effectiveness between webinar swaps and big boom launch promotions and how to decide which one is right for you The webinar trick that turns cold traffic into super-hot traffic (and keeps popping up in the show) Direct selling on partner webinars: yes or no? The most effective webinar content for attendees from internal lists, partner webinars, and cold traffic Tips on nurturing relationships with influencers When it makes sense to outsource marketing tasks Marketing strategies Sid used to grow a software company with an e-commerce platform Marketing strategies Sid used to grow an online course platform Why partner webinars are the most effective strategy for consistent growth Where and how to find influencers How to contact industry influencers and get them to do a partner webinar Your main focus during massive webinars with large audiences should be this [2:27] What makes Sid special: -Lover of learning: Reads books, follows other marketers, listens to podcasts, takes courses -Is exposed to various companies by working with them -Ties together core concepts behind successful people and comes up with repeatable solutions to implement in other companies [3:15] Sid's first full-time role as head of marketing for LemonStand (software company with E-commerce platform) His core strength was content but needed to produce quicker results Used targeted ads to boost content and achieved instant results Created e-book "50 Shades of Growth" with 50 growth hacks for e-commerce platforms Got industry influencers to contribute to and promote the e-book Promoted book launch with a contest to win discounts from various software companies Did JV webinar swaps with other software companies [6:34] The difference in effectiveness between webinar swaps and big boom launch promotions When you're doing a big promotion or boost, you connect with influencers and start relationships which can be converted into a partnership webinar down the road. If you have the resources, do both and you'll get big spikes and steady growth. If you don't, lean toward the partner webinars which provides dependable growth [8:30] "If you have a good list of partners, influencers, or affiliates who are willing to push your contest on launch day, then your contest will be successful. Contests work on momentum."-SB [9:12] For consistent growth, strategy, and progress, partner webinars are more effective. [9:25] The great thing about partner webinars is you're building relationships with some really awesome people and that's the name of this game — the name of marketing."-JE [10:09] Head of marketing for Thinkific (online course platform): Used ads while creating partnerships and content for long-term strategy Worked well and hired a full-time employee to allow Sid to focus on exploring other channels. Whatever worked was outsourced. Whatever didn’t was scrapped. [11:08] Testing: Focused on getting more traffic using ads and scrapped ads that didn't produce. o Twitter ads didn't work o Facebook Ads worked Discovered Convertkit consistently did partner webinars Hired someone to contact influencers and software partners to build relationships and book webinars [12:47] What was your strategy for contacting these influencers and how would you get them to agree to a partner webinar? Started with people who were still building their influence. “Even if they sent 10 people, I'd still do the webinar because one day they may be big. But it was slowly building up our base to which we could go to bigger influencers and work our way up the ladder to get those bigger names." Continued to build relationships over time. Pro tips in dealing with influencers: Start by giving value and helping them with their needs before you ask for anything in return. As you give value, approach them about doing a webinar together. Keep nurturing relationship with influencers that say no. [16:28] Where do you find all these influencers? "We expanded into the [influencers] that no one's heard of." [19:11] For massive webinars where people have already signed up for a free version of software, the focus is on delivering pure value and motivating them. [20:20] Sid aims for a 15% conversion rate, 20% is great. Has reached 30%. [20:49] Most effective and impactful content inside the webinar itself: The content depends on the source of the attendees. If they're coming from an internal list, they're already aware of the platform. Gear the content toward helping them be successful on the platform. For partner webinars, focus on more basic information about the product and how to use it. For cold traffic, help them get an instant result during the webinar (Sid offers no free trials and still converts at 10-15%) [24:11] What's next for Sid: Started own consulting business helping other companies with their marketing. Hopes to eventually build his own software product or e-commerce business using the same learnings from growing other businesses.

How To 4x Your Conversion On Live Webinars w/Tim Paige | #024
How To 4x Your Conversion On Live Webinars w/Tim Paige | #024 Two successful webinar experts from upstate New York, sharing knowledge and hosting this podcast episode. Joel’s co-host is Tim Paige — vacuum salesman turned webinar host. Aside from generating more than ten million in revenue for his webinar clients, he’s more than quadrupled webinar conversions by making a small adjustment to his Q & A session. Join Joel in one of his favorite episodes to date where they discuss strategies you can apply to your webinar to effectively 4x your conversions. Tim’s high-converting webinar hiccup story provides for some good entertainment too. Episode Discussions: Building authority quickly The benefits of having a brief heroes journey The Q & A strategy that 4x’d Tim’s webinar conversions Promotions that work for cold traffic webinars “Offer anxiety” and how to eliminate it to increase sales What to do when you’re uncomfortable pitching an offer upfront The worst way to start a relationship with your audience Why revealing the offer price upfront works How to answer questions throughout the webinar without stopping every 5 minutes Deciding between 60 and 90-minute webinars and which is more effective Positioning yourself to sell other people’s products as a webinar host Using webinar scripts vs. not using webinar scripts Why short pitches can be more effective than long pitches Joel’s new offer structure that’s testing very well Converting hiccups into sales during a webinar Headset twins: Why Joel and Tim love their webinar headsets Tim's Story: -Used to be a traveling musician -Got into sales and sold $3,000 vacuums door-to-door -Studied online marketing and started a podcast w/ John Lee Dumas -Was hired by Clay Collins, CEO of Leadpages, to do a webinar -Hosted his first webinar for Clay after he got sick and ‘outconverted’ him - Has hosted over 1,000 live webinars and generated more than 10 million dollars in revenue. -Now owns his own business doing the same thing for other clients. [8:19] Promotions that work well for cold traffic webinars: lead with the price and substantiate everything afterward vs. hiding the price up front. [8:46] Tim's ‘heroes journey’ is only 5 minutes long in his webinars and tells them the entire offer upfront to avoid offer anxiety. [9:40] "Offer anxiety": When webinar attendees wonder about the cost of the offer for the duration of the webinar instead of focusing on the content. [14:51] If you're uncomfortable giving the offer upfront, at least give them the price upfront. [16:04] When you give the price upfront, they're focusing on the content and the product itself to figure out what value they'll receive for the price. You have a longer opportunity to present the offer. [16:53] How did you 4x your conversions? Tim split tested webinars to 2 large audiences. “I answer questions throughout the whole webinar, I don't wait until the Q & A.” Day 1 - didn't answer questions until the Q & A. Day 2 - answered questions throughout the webinar. On day 2, he quadrupled sales. [18:41] The only time it's difficult to answer questions throughout the webinar content is if the webinar is a story from start to finish. [20:01] Answer questions relevant to whatever topic is being discussed at that point in the webinar. Leave non-relevant questions to answer at the end. [21:03] "I'm seeing right now on average that 95% of the people that show up at the start of the webinar will stay for 75 minutes or longer — which is insane."- TP [21:16] On average, Tim's clients have 90-minute webinars but more are trending toward 60 minutes. It depends on the client, topic, and content. [22:12] "What we're finding is shorter is almost always better in terms of conversions."-JE [23:12] Positioning as a webinar host for other people's products. “When I'm presenting, if there's a story that's relevant to the brand or founders story, I never try to turn it into my story. I think that's disingenuous...I will not tell something that's not true.” [25:36] Average price points for Tim's webinars: lowest price point is $397 and highest is $2K. 70% cold traffic, 30% retargeting. [29:25] Joel uses scripts for his personal webinars. Tim doesn't write or script his presentations. His slide decks are typically 140 slides and contain pictures or phrases that trigger his points. [33:32] "I always tell my clients, 'You cannot insult your customer's intelligence, especially if this is a cold traffic webinar because most people aren't going to buy on the webinar. They’ll come back and buy later. Do not ruin that relationship"-JE [33:57] When you go into your pitch, how does it differ from a normal-style offer creation? "I use the ending pitch as an opportunity to expand." If it's not a well-known product, he'll reference it as a solution throughout the webinar. This works well for software products. Tim's beginning pitch is 3-5 minutes and ending pitch is 10 minutes. [37:40] Tim’s Q & A strategy: Start with 2-3 buying questions: Address the biggest objection first (with Leadpages, it was, "Can I use this with more than one website?”) 2 more buying questions 2-3 non-buying questions based around the content More buying questions ("Can you tell me more about your program/product/software?") and deep dive. Get to Q & A as quickly as you can Answer buying questions Answer content questions Deep dive into product. [39:19] If you use your Q & A like an opportunity to overcome objections, I found that that's kind of the magic that closes those last-minute sales."-TP [39:34] Joel is testing a new offer structure internally that’s worked very well. “We position the objections within the content of the webinar.” [40:59] What's the highest conversion rate you've ever had live on a webinar and what was the price point? Tim answers with his hiccup's-during-a-webinar story. "Like — BAD hiccups. It was brutal!". Converted at 50% and the price point was $577. [45:22] “I believe we use the same headset — Sennheiser PC 8. It’s all I use.” Inexpensive but sounds great on webinars.

"Instead of seeking out people that were having great success with webinars, I just decided to do what I thought was best."-MK [4:22] Webinars are 80% of her business. [4:54] Why do you think webinars work so well for your business in the photography niche? "They're personalized. Although auto webinars do work, live webinars work way better. Photography is a very personalized type of service."

Strategies to Build A List of Interested Buyers With Partner Webinars w/ John Corcoran | #020
There are endless methods, tools, and tactics to grow your email list. John Corcoran was able to double his from 6,000 to 12,000 during the first quarter of 2015 with partner webinars. With numbers like that, it makes you wonder why you don’t hear about using webinars as a list-building strategy more often. Just days before recording this episode, John Corcoran from Rise25 and Smart Business Revolution, had his largest partner webinar to date — to the tune of a few thousand registrants. In this episode, he shares strategies you can use to build a large database of interested buyers using other people’s audiences (without hard pitches!) Episode Discussions: Why you should stick to one title for your webinar How to get around the “non-pitching” policy during joint venture webinars How to follow-up with a company who promised you an email list but hasn’t delivered A process to test your new webinar and title Elements of a webinar title that gets people excited What titles worked best for John A breakdown of John’s perfect webinar timeline and what to include where Why it’s important to be clear on your webinar’s length How to lose your audience in the first 6-8 min of your webinar Why you need to be specific about the benefits of your webinar Providing proof to validate your claims What to include in a good case study How to naturally transition from educating to selling during your webinar How to end a lead-gen style webinar What to look for when researching companies to partner with Why you should have a follow-up sequence in place for everything [2:27] John's story: Former writer in the Clinton Whitehouse & CA governor speechwriter A "recovering attorney" (stepped back from law in 2015) Started Smart Business Revolution (blog and podcast) Teamed up with Dr. Jeremy Weisz to create Rise25 – Helps professional entrepreneurs who want to move away from “one on one” client work trading hours for dollars to a “one to many” offering. [5:33] In 2014, guest posted on small blogs and progressed to Forbes, Huffington Post, and Entrepreneur. Went from 1,000 email subscribers to 5,800 end of 2014. [6:21] Learned about external webinars and doubled his list from 6,000 to 12,000 during the first quarter of 2015. [6:45] Abandoned guest posting to double down on webinars. "I did 83 webinars during 2015, grew my list to 25,000...and haven't looked back since then. [I'm] completely focused on webinars as a list growth strategy." [8:41] “One of the best things you can do is immerse yourself with other people who are doing webinars for different audiences. Get to know them, become friends with them, and recommend each other back and forth to different organizations or individuals."-JC [9:30] Once you find a title that resonates well with your audience, use it again and again. [9:52] John’s last webinar (with Score Association): Was required to use a different webinar title but ended up with 4,500 registrants (the company’s 2nd largest number ever) Was not allowed to pitch at the end Received email list of people who opted to receive information from John (net 3000 out of 4500 emails) [10:34] How to collect email addresses from “No-Pitch” webinars: Workbook method: Ask permission from the company to distribute a workbook to registrants Create a free workbook people can download from an opt-in page and use during the presentation. The company may send their own email list to your workbook opt-in page. At the beginning of the webinar, urge attendees to download the workbook. Teaser method: Incentivize audience with a bonus given at the end of the webinar. Give the same link as the workbook opt-in. Email additional bonus later that day. [17:35] John’s New Webinar Testing Process: Share webinar internally (LinkedIn, email list) Do the same or similar versions of the webinar but with different titles over a number of weeks. Test different titles and keep track of how many people register to see what the best webinar was. [18:30] Webinar titles: Influence how many register for the webinar, how many show up, how many buy what you're selling. When titling, find out what your audience wants. Use specific and odd numbers Include time parameters [21:08] What timeline works best for you with partner webinars? John’s method: Length: 50-60 min Intro (6-8 min): Establish who you are, why they should listen to you and exactly how they’ll benefit from the content. “The meat” (8-30min): “You actually need to teach people something or they're going to be really really angry at you.” Use facts, figures, numbers, and data at some point. Case studies (30-40min): (educational and edifying you) Naturally transitioning from educating to selling: "We've covered a lot but there's a lot more to cover. If you would like to do it a lot faster than it took me, here's a solution that can help you to get there." [25:32] "You have to have that substantial proof to validate your claims otherwise people are just going to call BS on you."-JE [32:28] When researching companies to partner with, make sure they’re doing regular free webinars and have external presenters. Watch a webinar to make sure they're promoting themselves in some way. [33:55] "You should have a follow-up sequence in place, period. For everything."-JC “I’m a sure advocate of webinars and I say go for it. Don't be intimidated by the amount of work it requires on the front end. It's pieces you put in place and will benefit from for years to come.”-JC Connect with John: Smartbusinessrevolution.com Rise25.com Follow and watch a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m personally launching a brand new 6 & 7 figure product from scratch at SoldWithWebinars.com/TV Join our Facebook group at SoldWithWebinars.com/Experts

Scaling a Facebook Ads Course Into a Multimillion Dollar Webinar w/ Dan Henry | #019
Joel's looked at well over 100 webinars and talked to more than 200 course creators trying to launch their webinars. But his client, Dan Henry, showed him things he’s never seen anybody in the industry do. Dan’s tiny tweaks scaled his automated webinar to $2.2 million in 11 short months. In this episode, Dan deep dives into the behind-the-scenes webinar optimization techniques he used to transform and scale his Facebook Ads course into a multi-million-dollar money making machine. Dan’s numbers are proof that even the smallest adjustments to your webinar can make the biggest impacts. Episode Discussions: How to tell if your webinar has scalability How to boost results from cold traffic implementing the ‘Quick Win’ technique The number one thing that Dan did to crush it with his webinar A strategy that gets a 90%-win ratio on chargebacks Tested tweaks, what worked, didn't work, biggest things held true to grow and optimize webinar A testimonial trick that could double your conversion rate The challenges of scaling from a low seven-figure to eight-figure business Testimonials to help overcome buyer objections A genius way that prevents you from giving away free coaching Facebook’s crackdown on misleading ads and how Dan plans to adapt In depth-look at Demio’s features and why they’re good for the technologically challenged Dan’s successful webinar optimization techniques you’ve probably never heard of [03:01] Dan's story: First webinar attempt had no sales Researched other successful webinar experts to model them Used Russel Brunson’s Perfect Webinar Script and made $48K the first day Learned more tweaks including Joel's tips on sales psychology Earned $2.2MM with his webinar in 11 months [6:41] Dan's webinar offer: Course price: $997 Upsell: $497 Course: How to get paid to start your own Facebook ad agency and get results for local businesses. Has all the info you'd need to run ads for your own business. [10:01] "A lot of people will come to me and say ‘Oh Joel, I don't have a make-money-online offer.' That's not what's going to tell you it'll have scalability. It's how quickly you can get results for your clients."-JE [10:28] "What do you do during your webinar that has crushed it for you?" Dan's method: Teaches a script early in the webinar that gets a client interested in hiring them. Instructs attendees to use script while webinar is in progress. 50-70% of attendees get potential clients messaging them, interested in their potential service. Attendees have potential buyers and need to purchase course to create it. [12:14] "If I wanna sell you something, I figure out a way to get you a result that's taken away if you don't buy my stuff."-DH [12:25] The Quick Win Syndrome: Where you try and get the audience to experience a quick win so they can comprehend the future and the potential of what you want for them. [14:32] ‘Social Table Rush’: After a purchase, buyer must join a private group for course access. A pinned post contains link to create user account and set password. User must use same email used to purchase. Adds to social proof and creates a buying frenzy Collects proof that customer received their product and serves as protection against unfair claims [16:42] Get a 90%-win ratio on chargebacks: Show the merchant company a screenshot of buyer’s request to join the group and a screenshot of them in the private group. [18:55] "Those were two things that caught my eye right away and I knew your webinar was crushing it just because of those two things."-JE [20:09] Dan’s tested webinar optimization tweaks: Testimonials: Take screenshots of actual Facebook post testimonials. On order page, place top four testimonials above credit card input field. Two-step order form on the checkout page: Follow ups with cart abandoners via voicemail and text through Sly Broadcast Voicemail hack: At end of webinar, unsure buyers can leave a voicemail with name, email, credit card number, and question (+$40K/mo. to revenue stream). Credit card number prevents free coaching. Deadline Funnel: When time runs out, implements a waiting list follow-up sequence. [24:00] Dan's #1 tip: “Don't create your product until you've created your webinar.” [30:46] Facebook will mark your ads as ‘misleading’ if users think they're misleading. [34:14] "The bulk of your sales all came from a Clickfunnels auto webinar, right?" "That's it. No fancy webinar software just pop in a YouTube video in Clickfunnels and a little custom code and you're off to the races." [36:16] "When you make two or three hundred grand a year, you're fine. When you start making two or three million a year, it becomes a lot more stressful and you definitely need a good husband or wife to support you because it can be very demanding."-DH [37:12] Dan uses Actionetics to tie into Clickfunnels auto webinar. Ideal for those not wanting to learn email software. [38:26] Dan sends a seven-day email sequence after the webinar and one missed webinar email. That’s it. "People have this misconception that you have to take action. That's not true. Action isn't good enough. It's action that inspires belief."-DH Connect with Dan: DanHenry.org Soldoutcourses.com Other links mentioned: Breeding Gazelles by Dan Bradbury Deadline Funnels Boast.io Demio Sly Broadcast Follow and watch a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m personally launching a brand new 6 & 7 figure product from scratch at SoldWithWebinars.com/TV Join our Facebook group at SoldWithWebinars.com/Experts

Maximize Conversions with Aspirational Marketing and Webinar Accelerator w/ Susan Lassiter-Lyons | #018
Any interest increasing your conversions by 56%? Susan Lassiter-Lyons did just that by making a few simple tweaks to her webinar — but her success didn’t come without a few grueling sessions of trial and error. Susan is a real estate investor turned educator/course creator who trains people how to invest in alternative and unique forms of investing. In this episode, you’ll discover what costly mistakes Susan made with her webinar, and the tweaks she made to catapult her webinar’s conversion rates. What it took to go from drastic loss to drastic grain. Episode Discussions: Why webinars convert so well versus other conversion techniques The crucial role emotion plays in the buyer’s decision How to increase conversion rates by implementing your brand’s story in your marketing Combining your hero’s journey and future pacing Should you get rid of your webinar replay sequence? Why not raising your prices is a confidence issue Learn from Susan’s $25K webinar outsourcing mistake How to improve your conversions with aspirational marketing and future pacing Writing scripts for make money online opportunities Susan’s webinar funnel versus her prospect follow up sequence [1:50] Susan's story: Started investing in the stock market in 1990 Substantial profit from call option on Unilever stock Began investing in real estate in 1994 Ran a mortgage company for 8 years that provided financing solutions for real estate investors Closed mortgage co. and private equity fund after 2008 stock market crash “What am I gonna do now?!” Now runs The Investor Insights — a training and coaching program for alternative investors. [6:48] Susan first started experimenting with webinars in 2009. [8:03] Her 1st webinar (live) was for a course - "Portfolio Loan Blueprint." Thought attendees would be able to see attendance numbers. Made her friends and family log on to the webinar. 7 attendees aside from friends and family Sold 3, made $300 "Webinars have always been one of the top two ways that I can generate revenue in my business. “-SLL [10:03] Susan crafted a webinar funnel for each of her products: Marketed directly to webinar registration page and held a live webinar. Marketed directly to opt-in page that directed to a video sales letter or long-form sales letter. Used follow-up email campaign for non-buyers. "Take that prospect follow-up sequence and stack it up against a webinar funnel. My webinar funnel outperforms that prospect follow up sequence by a factor of about 4 to 1." [11:00] Why do you think that is? Why such a dramatic change? The buzz around event marketing. Has a higher perceived value than a training video or email course. People get to know you. They get to see & hear your personality and authenticity come through. [12:54] Webinars do so well versus other forms of conversion techniques due to the comprehensive ability to learn via video or slides or audio versus reading only. [13:13] “With webinars where you teach a little bit and you inspire them and give them hope — it's like the ultimate form of content marketing."-JE [15:42] Outsourcing Oops: Susan’s highest conversion rate before outsourcing webinar creation ($25K): 11% Conversion rate for 1st webinar after outsourcing: 5.5% [16:55] Susan on her first impression of Webinar Accelerator: "I was one of those people that that said ‘Ugh, look — I've been doing this long enough. I know how to do this. I just need that software because the software will have that thing I'm missing. I don't need to go through that training because he can't tell me anything. Big mistake." [17:07] “I came across so many great nuggets going through your training and hearing your program through Webinar Accelerator that I was able to make a few simple tweaks...and get incremental pickups in conversion." [17:33] The tweaks Susan made to increase conversions: Cut webinar content in half. Incorporated more emotion by incorporating her story and Hero’s Journey. Integrated the Future Pacing technique [19:24] A confused mind doesn't buy. [20:44] The Hero’s Journey: Where did I start? Where have I gotten to? What did I learn along the way? What setbacks did I have along the way? “This was my whole journey to figure out this solution and here's where I am now as a result of that…and people want to hear that!”-SSL [23:30] Susan’s transformation with ‘Master Lease Option Method’ course: Old attendance rate (06/16): 34.6% New attendance rate (07/17): 24.3% Old earnings per registrant: $8.05 New EPR: $13.44 Total sales percentage increase: 56% [26:34] "I would never encourage getting rid of the replay sequence but it all depends on your cold market strategy."-JE [30:47] Raising your prices is a confidence issue. “Using the training from the Webinar Accelerator...it's had a significant and fast impact on my business already, so I'm really looking forward to aligning with you more in the future so that I can take it to the next level. “-SSL Connect with Susan: Theinvestorinsights.com Follow and watch a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m personally launching a brand new 6 & 7 figure product from scratch at SoldWithWebinars.com/TV Join our Facebook group at SoldWithWebinars.com/Experts

One Year of Webinar Wins and Fails: What Worked and What Flopped w/ Jason Wardrop | #017
Roller coasters are usually fun — but not so much in an entrepreneurial theme park. Many business owners and entrepreneurs struggle with overcoming the obstacles that fluctuations and inconsistences produce. And they prove to be exceptionally disheartening when it comes to their webinar strategies. Jason Wardrop is the founder of Arsenal MKG, a social lead generation platform tailored for real estate agents. He’s been Joel’s client for over a year and in this episode, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at a year of Jason’s webinar marketing angles and funnels — the successes, the flops, the good, bad, and ugly. But most importantly, how he transformed his webinar’s roller coaster of success into the ultimate ride of dependability. Episode Discussions: Simplification of your message is vital to your success Why Jason’s first webinar strategy ‘tanked’ Reasons to target the beginner market The timeline of Jason’s webinar roller coaster The standard follow-up sequence for live webinars Knowing your target market and speaking to their desires Why “the more you email, the more money you make” doesn’t always work/isn’t always true The curse of the expert A winning headline formula for your webinar website Joel and Jason’s mindset shifts that ultimately boosted their revenue Joel hasn’t seen this in any market other than real estate (he’s still perplexed) Why the standard follow-up email sequence may not work for the real estate market A breakdown of Jason’s email sequences: Fails and wins Why 24-hour webinars psychologically make sense for cold traffic The brilliant sequence strategy Jason uses for cold traffic Joe’s creative writing advice for webinars The 2 game changers that increased Jason’s webinar conversions An ideal time to target real estate agents with your webinar Value-packed tips on how to resonate with your target market and create a bigger impact with your webinar [1:47] Jason's story: Has been an entrepreneur for 7 years (online marketing) In 2015, founded Arsenal MKG -a social lead generation platform that helps real estate agents generate leads for their business. [2:45] Webinar history: Marketed software to network marketers Ran webinars for weeks without success Targeted real estate market using the same webinar with a few minor tweaks Had two sales the first week. Realigned marketing to target real estate agents [4:33] Jason's original offer was $300/year. Increased to $497. [5:29] "I was attracting unemployed engineers and that was the first major shift I had — I can't sell to broke people. So I can take the exact same offer and sell it to a different audience and charge more money for it."-JE [7:26] Jason sold 4/week but saw potential to increase. [7:53] One of Jason's big mental shifts: realizing he wasn't selling more because he didn't feel like he could fulfill more than 4 people. [8:16] Once Jason put his fears aside, he scaled up his sales to 8, sometimes 11 per week. Totaling $10K per webinar. [9:17] Jason had his biggest day ever right before the end of 2016. But his first webinar of 2017 was "total crickets." [10:03] The roller coaster begins: January of 2017, Jason's list had approximately 9,000 people on it. February - he sold a $37 mini-course resulting in a $12K increase from his biggest month ever. March - sales increased $20K. April - sales dropped and became inconsistent. May - Jason takes a break to work on revamping the webinar. June, “I launched my webinar thinking it was gonna kill it and then I realized my messaging was totally off and rewrote [the webinar] three times before I got I working again." [15:21] Jason’s two game changers: Simplifying the webinar to make it more consumable for his "non-tech savvy" market Recreated the offer itself to resonate with his market. [17:39] "It was the same offering but instead of saying, 'Hey, we'll set up one lead generation campaign, we'll get you to thirty leads per month consistently."-JW [19:02] "As you're trying to sell your own products, services or courses, we have this curse of the expert I see all the time with the webinar campaign."-JE [19:49] Headline formula: Who you're talking to + what you want them to become. [20:25 Joel and Jason finished reworking the webinar end of June. 1st webinar results: Sent to list, no paid traffic Totaled almost 300 registrants 50% show-up rate Immediately had six sales Within 24 hours, 5 additional sales 11 sales after first week [23:11] "I had never seen follow up sales — let alone double the amount of sales — so I was so pumped about that."-JW [23:32] "Whenever you look at the market size, the beginners of any market are always going to be your biggest pool and usually your most attractive pool."-JE [25:00] Jason breaks down his 5+ failed follow up sequences [26:08] Jason's current sequence (for 24-hour webinar): Thursday morning - Live webinar (he's found it to be the best time that works for agents). Thursday afternoon - Sends a webinar replay email to follow up with non-buying attendees. Introduces urgency. (46% open rate) Four hours before offer expiration – intense urgency to ‘go in and check it out.’ Non-attendees receive an email invite to an encore auto webinar that starts at the top of every hour. Non-openers receive an email with a different attractive subject line. [28:42] Joel compares and contrasts Jason’s sequences. [29:29] 24-hour webinars psychologically make sense for cold traffic. "I think it's brilliant and it tipped the tables for you 100%."-JE [30:37] How cold traffic responds to frequent emails: "They've never heard your name and all the sudden this random Jason Wardrop guy has emailed me 4 times in one day?!...Take me off your list!"-JW [32:02] Joel's creative writing advice for webinars: Don't pigeonhole yourself into a specific formula. [33:06] Jason’s future: Looking to launch software into the insurance market (and possibly fitness). [35:32] "Just gotta hustle and sprint while it's all still working good because you know that winters can always come to any business."-JW [35:40] What's your ROI now on your ad spend with this new cold traffic webinar? It's 3x in week one and I haven't put upsells in place." [36:52] Joel's takeaways for the audience: Analyze what market you're really speaking to With the beginner market, there's always leads coming in. Think about it just like a funnel: The most educated, moderately educated, and the uneducated. If you can speak to the uneducated, you speak to all of them.

Profit From Your Story, Passion, and Course w/ Annie Grace | #016
‘Make-money-online’ and ‘business opportunity’ aren’t the only niches crushing it with webinars. Annie Grace has experienced serious success with her automated webinar for her course on overcoming alcohol addiction. Through personal experience, her webinar, and her website, ThisNakedMind.com, she’s inspired the positive transformation of many lives. Annie’s story is the perfect example of how to profit from your story, passion and course using webinars. And if you still don’t think it’s possible, wait ‘till you hear her before and after stats. Episode Discussions: Why Annie’s initial launch failed to convert Mindset’s role The simple website tweak Annie made to increase conversions and sales The debate on webinar lengths – is there a right and a wrong? Thoughts on Jeff Walker’s, “Launch” How to get over the awkwardness of using urgency and scarcity to sell The first things Joel looks at when reviewing a webinar and why Guarantees are the quickest way to boost your sales What to do when you’re scared of making a really strong guarantee Changing a mindset in the webinar is more valuable than providing answers and solutions The one thing you shouldn’t do when talking to a very hot market Webinar feedback: The value in leaving a webinar with hope The Expert Curse and how it lowers conversions Annie’s before-and-after-webinar funnel stats Joel’s secret ‘2-part guarantee’ tip for all courses The 3 goals every webinar should have [2:06] Annie's story: Was the chief marketing officer for a large offline marketing corporation Found herself consuming more alcohol and wrote about the experience Book was well-received and grew a passion for changing lives Created a video course and jumped into full blown entrepreneurship Launched video course last October - saw low conversion rates Got pregnant and launched auto webinar 7 days before she had her child [5:03] How did you first try to launch your course and what were your ideas? Was getting a significant number of organic subscribers Book sold well on Amazon but offered a free download via landing page Wanted to get it into as many hands as possible Read "Launch" by Jeff Walker and tried to do the 4 video sequences. Converted 1 out of every 100 Those who did buy praised the course [5:41] "I knew I had something really great but I just couldn't figure out how to sell it."-AG [6:22] Missing urgency factor by presenting offer at the end of a 10-day email sequence. [6:38] "I started thinking a webinar. If somebody was looking for it, they could consume it and quickly get where they needed to get.”-AG [7:10] "If you're talking to a very hot market, you can't hold back the product because you're only reducing your own success. Any time you add a step, it's just another drop-off point."-JE [7:58] When did you kill the PLF style funnel and transition to a webinar? Annie spent her pregnancy trying to figure out how to better sell her course. Went through Russell Brunson's ‘Funnel Hacking’ and downloaded Joel's case studies. Launched auto webinar 7 days before having the baby. [10:31] Changing someone's mindset or belief in the webinar is more valuable than providing answers or solutions. There’s more value in breaking belief patterns because it enables growth and freedom from their problem. [10:59] Resonating with Annie’s audience and their experiences: They experience cognitive dissonance They feel alone The struggle is long and hard They'll have to give up their social life Alcohol duped into them into thinking they need it to have fun [11:57] “I can free somebody by giving them neurological and scientific examples that those things aren't true. They leave the webinar with hope that there is possibility for change.”-AG [12:26] The ‘Expert Curse’ — “When people think they have to teach on the webinar. When you teach so much, you confuse them. A confused mind doesn't buy."-JE [12:42] Inspiration, transformation, and hope is the whole goal of the webinar and it's conflicting for experts to hear and understand that. [13:27] Stats: Annie's course is $597 on website, $397 through webinar Made $8K/month before webinar $40K/month after webinar Sold 10% via Facebook ads Mostly organic traffic [14:39] People enter webinar funnel via links shared on popular forums Gives product away for free Sells more books, gets more amazon reviews Offers webinar access in final email of the sequence Website has 80K visitors a month Generates $.50 per visitor [16:51] Funnel: Register for webinar Reminder email sent 10 minutes before start View webinar ‘Replay’ email next day Then ‘final chance to watch replay’ email. [19:44] Annie wants to launch a 30-day alcohol experiment for those who want to make more mindful decisions about drinking. [23:09] Her webinar is 2 hours long. [24:43] "Putting urgency and scarcity around it felt really awkward. What I realized is that I actually want people to act." [25:24] Annie’s guarantee: 30-day course with a 60-day guarantee. "The truth is that I do believe now that I'm doing somebody a disservice if I don't get them to actually act."-AG [26:06] The first things Joel looks at when reviewing a webinar: the offer and the guarantee. [27:44] Joel’s 2-part guarantee for all courses: Part 1: 30-day money back guarantee Part 2: Course completion credits "A sincere intention to help people always makes the best business at the end of the day."-AG Connect with Annie: Thisnakedmind.com This Naked Mind: Control Alcohol: Find Freedom, Discover Happiness & Change Your Life Follow and watch a behind-the-scenes look at how I’m personally launching a brand new 6 & 7 figure product from scratch at SoldWithWebinars.com/TV Join our Facebook group at SoldWithWebinars.com/Experts

That’s why he decided to create Demio, a user-friendly webinar software platform that would easily accomplish all. In this episode, David shares the secrets to connecting with your audience, tips to boost conversion rates, and why the simplicity of Demio works to help business owners effortlessly and effectively create a powerful, high-quality webinar. Episode Discussions: How to increase your conversion rate and increase connection with your audience Why webinars are so impactful and have high conversion rates The effectiveness of webinars and sales pages and how they differ Webinar’s expansion into e-commerce The success of webinars in niche markets Key things to implement into live webinars to make the best experience possible Why engagement plays a vital role in webinars and how to do it The downfall of offering a freebie toward the end of a webinar and what to do instead The hook of testimonials and why they work The one thing you may not be aware of or testing in your webinar and how it affects your success [2:24] David's backstory: Started in marketing and business as a web designer Built a web design agency Learned online marketing through internship turned full-time marketing director position Used webinars at the company as a tool for growth Grew business from $0 to 7 figures/year Left company and partnered to create marketing funnels Webinars proved to be the most consistently successful system Built deep funnels with segmentation Marketing and segmentation automation wasn't easy [7:23] Demio was created to solve the company’s own problem. [8:07] "What we really wanted was simplicity. What realized it was the key to webinars." [8:41] While developing Demio, David focused on: Reliability Simplicity Ease-of-use What attendees love and presenters love to use High quality [9:34] Explain what you mean by simplicity and why it's so important. What challenges did you run into to separate yourself from the competitors? "The idea of simplicity is that you want to be able to do the core things very well, get it done quickly, and get a result. No one is buying a webinar tool to play with it. They want a webinar tool to connect with their audience." [11:17] "It doesn't matter what business you're in, simplicity is always important." [12:46] What's the key concept that you guys focused on when you launched Demio? "The key is connection. We want to connect you with your audience. The core essence of a webinar is building relationships." [14:25] The idea of the webinar is to connect with your audience, build relationships, build trust, and transparency. Whether you're selling a product or training, you want your audience to know they're in good hands. [15:01] When people jump into the online world and look at different types of funnels, they think 'automation', but you'll get better conversion rates the more you can talk to somebody one-on-one." [15:55] Webinars allow you to have a one-to-many sales process. The more intimate you can get with your customers, they more you grow. [16:22] Demio offers a free one-on-one demo to connect with their customers.

Crafting A Message That Motivates Your Webinar Audience to Action | #012
When it comes to selling your program or digital course, the way you deliver your message to your audience could mean the difference between getting them to take action and not. So, what’s the best method to get people to understand what you’re trying to explain? In this bite-sized yet beneficial episode, Joel shares his expertise on how to creatively craft a message to resonate and motivate your webinar audience. Episode discussions: The difference between good instruction and bad instruction Why “features” don’t sell How to sell using stories and why it works Steps to crafting the perfect story [3:45] Good instructors take the same content but teach it through different mediums. Tell you the student to read the material and come to class and give examples and try and help you understand it through different ways of explaining it or teaching it. [4:31] With sales presentations, you're trying to tell through story why they need to jump on board and why it's important to them. [5:00] Write with benefits and features… “Features don't sell. They're things they get inside the program. Benefits are the results you get from the features of the content you learn inside the material. Too many are focused on talking about the features and regurgitating information within the course.” [5:33] When you're telling through story how you discovered your content, you’ll move your audience and get them to take action on your course. [5:46] Joel's challenge: Craft stories to your audience of how you came to realize what it is you're teaching them. Put yourself back in the situation of whatever transformation you're teaching them and how you discovered it. Dig deep into the emotion of what you were going through. [6:27] "The people on your webinar wanna know that you've gone through their experience and they wanna know how you can help change them."

Successfully Launching a Webinar to Cold Traffic w/ Shanda Sumpter | #011
Shanda Sumpter is the founder of the multi-million-dollar company, Heartcore Business. Through it, she provides a step-by-step system to help people transform their financial lives and create their dream business. She also just set the record for the highest performing webinar Joel has ever launched straight to cold traffic. In this episode: Joel and Shanda discuss the process of launching a webinar to cold traffic including how long it really takes, the idea of tying a core message to your webinar, and the pressing importance of financial self-reliance. Episode Discussions: The creation and genuine mission of Heartcore Business How many hours it really does take to put together a webinar Takeaways from the Todd Brown marketing event Why the technology takeover makes financial self-reliance more important than ever Shanda’s “ah-ha!” moments and lessons had while working with Joel Evergreen and live conversion rates for Shanda’s webinar How Joel helped Shanda articulate the overall mission of her webinar Joel’s valuable advice for anyone working on their own webinars Shanda’s prediction on whether her webinar will outperform her infomercial and why [1:56] Shanda's story: Owns Heartcore Business - named after her mission to “run the company on point with audience and customers.” Helps people build audiences and create reoccurring business models. [3:41] Working with Joel: "We teach webinars inside my company but I'm not an expert. It’s just a piece that everybody needs to be doing in order sell virtually and leverage your time."-SS Contacted the Genius Network to find the best assistance with her webinar. Was referred to Joel several times. [4:45] Shanda put in over 50 hours of work on her webinar. [5:25] "It usually takes us about 40 hours when we create a webinar from scratch. People don't really understand how much work goes into it."-JE [5:45] Shanda's "ah-ha" moments and lessons working with Joel. [6:58] "I thought that I was specific because I'm so direct and to the point but I was missing a lot of steps!"-SS [9:29] What was the most important part for you in the webinar flow? "The details. Like me teaching what a generator email is or how to get influencers to promote you...It never dawned on me to explain those details."-SS [11:08] Shanda's evergreen version is converting just over 14%. Live version- 15.5% [12:01] Working with Joel helped Shanda realize her overall mission was to help people be responsible for being financially self-reliant. [12:43] “You can't blame your situation but what you can do it get something like a webinar working for you and build a great audience that you can push through that webinar."-SS [12:53] Shanda had only done webinars that converted with her email list but this webinar is converting with cold traffic. [14:06] Her offer is $997and converting at 15.5% and 14% evergreen on cold traffic. [15:39] Shanda speaks about being financially self-reliant - "Right now, they're saying (by 2020) that 5 million jobs are going to be replaced by technology. If you don't plan for it, then it will be a devastation in your life."-SS [18:06] Joel recaps the key takeaway: "The soul mission of self-reliance and being able to support a thesis that you present"-JE [18:17] Joel shares his highlights from the Todd Brown marketing event. [19:46] "It was a blessing working with you. I really appreciate and definitely will continue to refer your customers because you're fantastic at what you do."-SS [20:01] Joel’s advice for those working on their own webinars: “You have to understand this takes time. It’s not meant for beginners. This is an opportunity to add multiple subfigures per year but you have to be in it for the long haul.

Once I nailed that, I got passionate about helping others skip over that same year and a half. That's kind of what we do today." [7:07] What are the different types of services that your clients use webinars for? Copywriters, people who run paid traffic for clients, automation experts who build funnels, consultants, coaches. etc. [8:12] "One of the biggest things besides building that webinar funnel is helping people not niche down into an industry, but get specificity around the problem they're solving for people."

Grow Your List with JV Ventures and Affiliate Webinars w/ Charles Byrd | #008
Charles Byrd is growing his business organically through non-paid marketing methods. Translation: He doesn’t use any paid traffic to grow his list. Instead, he methodically and successfully uses joint ventures and affiliate webinars. In this episode, Charles shares how to leverage other people’s audiences to promote products and services using JV ventures and affiliate webinars and how and why everyone wins. Episode discussions: Tips on how to reach out to influencers on Facebook Good strategies to help build your list, make sales in the process and build goodwill in the marketplace The difference between webinar swaps and affiliate or joint ventures The best ways to make connections at live events The most important asset in your business when it comes to webinars A look into Charles’ productivity course, “Zero-to-60 with Evernote” Why webinars are ideal for promoting to other people's lists How to meet high-quality connections [1:58] Charles intro: 15-year career in Silicon Valley "I thought, 'Hey! I wanna work for no one!" Launched a productivity course focused on teaching entrepreneurs to "kill the chaos of info overload by learning to apply Evernote to their business and life". Had no list and pulled people in through LinkedIn connections Learned how to do joint venture partnerships [4:06] Webinar swaps: promote your partner's webinar to your audience in exchange for promoting your own product to their audience. [4:19] Affiliates or joint ventures: promote someone else's product to your audience and split the revenue from that webinar. [6:28] Charles' first webinar had over 1,000 people on it. [7:12] "Lots of people want to be more productive and in fact, 92% of people I speak to have heard of Evernote, 3/4 of them already have it." [8:56] Joel recaps: “Essentially what Charles is doing is leveraging other people's audience to grow his own audience.” [9:19] "Your list is your most important asset in your business." [9:55] "It's a win for them because you're bringing their people this fresh perspective and good ideas and a win for you because I started with no audience." [10:40] What does the process look like when you reach out to bloggers and podcasters? "Find groups that have the kind of people you're looking for on Facebook like entrepreneur groups and internet marketing-type groups." [12:06] If you don't already have a network, Charles recommends you: Find active members in the groups comment and like some of their stuff contribute to the conversation message them [13:22] Joel recaps: Charles is finding his target audience of influencers first and engaging them by liking and commenting on their Facebook posts. [15:35] "Ping em and ask. I've never had anyone decline. Why wouldn't they take a meeting, ya know?" [16:02] The best outreach strategy is adding value to them first before you ever ask for anything in return. [16:47] Like and share their posts and introduce them to people who can help them with an issue or solve a problem. [18:06] "Let’s say you're home alone. It's crickets. It's quiet. You're an entrepreneur wondering why the world is so quiet...this is how you start getting more interaction." [20:02] Charles did 5 partner webinars in 9 months. Now he books 2-6 webinars every week. Sometimes 2 webinars a day (books them Tues, Wed, Thurs). Grows his list at about 2,000 a month. [20:49] He's grown his list from 0 to 7,000 in about 4.5 months. [21:42] Why do you think joint venture webinars and promotions work so well for this strategy? "Because you're providing value up front." [22:09] "You gotta light their imagination and awareness to the bigger impact the message that you're sharing has." [22:36] The promise of Charles' course is "You'll spend 3 hours in the course, you'll save 3 hours a week going forward." [23:01] A minimum of 10% of people buy. Charles has had it as high as 42%. [24:00] "It's a win for the partner because I just showed up and provided a free training to their audience, the buyers get the deeper-dive course that will save them 3 hours a week and the partner gets 50% commission in my case." [24:29] As you deliver more webinars, conversions increase, messaging gets smoother and deliveries get better. [24:59] "Webinars are the ultimate form of content marketing. You’re able to teach, you're able to wow people and you're able to give them this transformation in a 45-60-minute presentation." [27:44] Charles on live events: Live events pay for themselves. There's no better way to build relationships than meeting people in person. [29:26] In January, Charles went to 8 cities in 5 countries and did 14 live webinars. [30:44] "If somebody signs up for a webinar and attends, they're 4-6x more likely to buy just because they showed up to a live webinar." [31:21] The movers and shakers who fly to events are super high-quality people you want to connect with. [33:55] Webinars are ideal for promoting to other people's lists because you provide content, value, goodwill to the audience and give them the opportunity to continue to follow you.

He runs the website "The Membership Guys" where he helps business owners and entrepreneurs build membership sites or information and expertise hubs to sell their products and services. In this episode, Mike discusses how he and his clients use webinars to sell more memberships for his programs and sheds light on the different approaches when launching, selling, and pricing a membership program. Don’t worry, his accent isn’t as hard to understand as he claims. Episode Discussions: Mike defines what exactly a membership site along with examples Flat membership fees vs. monthly fees Why webinars are so effective for membership sites Strategies for using webinars to sell membership sites How to use webinars if you’re not selling high-ticket items One of the best ways to sell a membership using webinars Using the exclusivity factor to ramp up scarcity [2:26] Mike's intro: "First and foremost, I'm just always impressed anybody can understand my accent." Ran online marketing and digital agencies Gravitated toward memberships. [3:55] Started membership site about membership sites and now has hundreds of members who are running a variety of different market-based membership sites. [4:26] A membership site is any website where someone needs to have a registered account in order to access protected content of some form. Typically involves payment. Usually involves some form of E-learning element (courses, tutorials, live training webinars) and community. [6:28] Mike shares different types of ways he's tested to sell membership sites. [7:31] "You can do so much more on a webinar in terms of your sales tactics when you've got a $2K product because you've got more margin to play with." [8:26] You want people that sign up for your membership to stick around long-term. Can't dupe people into signing up in the way some people do with a course. They'll be in your community and figure out you're not delivering on your promises. [8:48] "We find organic marketing as the bedrock of what you're doing.

"We are very much following that 'be everywhere' kind of strategy." [15:50] "We don't do any of the trickery about making it appear live or any of that nonsense because I've been on webinars where it's mid-July and the first words out of the presenter's mouth is 'hope you all had a great Christmas!"-Mike [17:20] Mike has a course called "Membership Lifecycle Course" about membership retention. [20:29] "You are genuinely doing a disservice if you don't tell people what happens next." -Mike [23:30] Joel calls Mike out on one hilarious but true quote... [25:15] One of the best ways to use a webinar to sell a membership is to find an angle that makes it mid to high ticket. [29:00] "Offering lifetime value prolongs member lifetime value to you." [30:22] Joel and Mike discuss discounts and pricing. [34:19] "The truth is someone could your biggest fan and never sign up to your email list."

Greg Hickman is the “Automation King”. As someone who builds funnels for the some of the biggest names in the digital marketing industry, he’s well-qualified to give advice on what to consider when building out a webinar funnel. In this episode, Joel and Greg discuss what a simple automated webinar funnel looks like from start to finish, why to use urgency over discount when getting people to take action and some specific tools to use to complete automation. [2:23] Started System.ly out of desperation Started building marketing funnels for some of the top online entrepreneurs. [4:14] What's the first thing you'll be looking at when deciding to go automated? "We're looking to see if they have experience doing webinars first. More importantly, have they been selling from that webinar successfully." [5:10] Iteration is paramount when finding how to convert on a webinar, especially when testing a new offer. If creating something new, always start live to validate that they can close on a webinar. [7:06] Get people to know, like, and trust you faster than ever before and sell products... essentially on auto-pilot. [7:20] If you're new, validating or just getting into webinars for the first time, go live. [7:51] What does a simple automated webinar funnel from start to finish look like? "One of our beliefs at System.ly is start simple, get ninja later." In any funnel, always implement what's considered to be the minimum viable funnel first. Focus on simple. [8:59] Email notifications and reminders. "Tell people where to be, what you're gonna talk about, why they should show up." [10:02] The event and the follow-up. [10:58] The emails are focused on why they need to buy right now. "Expiring bonus" emails are most effective and should be "brick-to-forehead so complementary to your existing offer that you'd be dumb not to buy." [11:34] "The thing with discounts..." [13:26] Connecting urgency to an expiring bonus helps make people take action. [14:19] Joel recaps: Landing page > registration page for your event > confirmation page > a couple reminders pushing people to your webinar > sales page. [15:21] "Go more ninja". What are the next steps to automate? [16:55] "What do you mean 'they took it to the extreme and it had a negative impact?'" "She ended up getting comments that she didn't have integrity...When you'd look for her organically, a lot of negative stuff would show up first." [19:15] "Just because you can do a lot of these things doesn't mean you should." [19:57] Still have on-demand but only within a certain number of times. [20:06] On-demand defined [21:40] Warm-up emails are a key reason as to why people buy. [24:28] "When you automate a webinar, how do you determine if you can go straight to the automated webinar or put another step in front of it?" " I'd want to target and invite certain people directly into my webinar and others veer into a warm up funnel or sequence." [28:46] Make the problem aware and educate them with a solution.

Build Authority and Credibility With Ideal Customers w/ Dave Rogenmoser | #003
Dave Rogenmoser got started selling his “6K Success” course through organic methods, private messaging and trolling Facebook groups. Through the use of webinars, he was able to build authority, credibility, and bond with his ideal customers, allowing him to increase the price of his program. In this episode, Dave discusses his entrepreneurial journey and how webinars took him from “trolling” to “rolling.” [1:46] Proof and Entrepreneurs Alliance [2:21] Dave's been a full-time entrepreneur for 2.5 years o Worked for a campus ministry at the University of Missouri. o Started digital marketing consulting o Built up a course "6K Success" - taught how he was doing the marketing consulting. o Lead to webinars [3:12] In the last 1.5 years, generated over $1 Million - 90% from webinar sales. "My entire business has been built on this. I have no plans to not use webinars to grow the business from here on out. They've been that crucial to me."-Dave [3:41] "When you created your first course, how were you going about trying to sell it before you discovered webinars?" "We spent a long time actually building out the course which I think is honestly mistake #1." [5:07] "6K Success" - Had the goal of helping people get to $6K/month of recurring income. o Took 2 months to build the course. [5:36] The creation of the $500 price point [7:15] When did you decide to increase your price point and when did you decide to do a live webinar? "We wanted to run paid traffic and paid traffic costs money." [7:58] "For most industries now, you're going to have a hard time making money on a $500 product if you're using Facebook Ads." [8:08] Dave would only break even at $500 so he raised the price to $1K. [8:45] Did 1st live webinar from Facebook Ads. [9:46] "Time is the most important element of building a relationship from a cold prospect to somebody who's ready to buy." -Joel [10:08] Every single week, I'm changing my pitch, changing my offer, working on my slides, exporting the chat and I'm looking at 'Hey, when are people talking and what questions are they asking? I'm making the presentation amazing week by week. After doing that 6 or 7 times, we turned into more of an evergreen-type product and built it into a funnel." [11:32] Scaled from $5K-$10K/month to $90K-$100K/month in 5 months. [12:20] Refining your pitch is the single most important aspect of business in general. "If people don't want to buy what you're selling, you have no business." [12:34] A live webinar gives you the opportunity to refine and get immediate feedback from the people who are most likely to buy. Get feedback and then revise, reframe and start to scale. [12:57] Dave is working on new webinar to launch Proof - new software for marketers that helps increase conversion in their funnels. "I'm going to learn so much about what we've got from that right now and that's way more valuable than the money we're gonna make on Thursday. I love the feedback loop and that's what live webinars are all about." [14:18] Proof is an application that you install on your landing pages that will notify you in real-time when somebody buys. Adds real-time social proof to your funnels, (Suzy just bought _____ 5 minutes ago in San Diego, CA) "When we've added it to our pages, we've found it increases conversion rate...by a lot." [18:45] What's more complex is thinking through, "How do I sell not just the widget but the training on how to do the widget?" [20:20] In 2015, Russell Brunson's Click Funnels did $10 Million in sales from webinars alone. Joel explains how Russell sold the onboarding process. [23:08] "I duplicated this model with 2 other webinar clients…both have gone on to do 7 figures in their software."-Joel [24:28] Joel analyzes Proof and offers advice on how to broaden the offer with a conversion training course. [27:36] Joel's show recap "I'm so big on webinars....Try to find someone who's doing over a million dollars a year that's not doing webinars and I'd be shocked if you're able to find it.”- Connect with Dave: GetMoreProof.com – Add it to your funnel and test it out for yourself!
