17 JUN 2024 · If you’re a longtime listener, you know getting in front of borrowed traffic is our favorite audience growth strategy, and today’s case study on hosting roundtables affirms why. Women’s leadership expert and founder of Safi Media, Eleanor Beaton, has successfully hosted 14 roundtables since Q4 2021, inviting aligned speakers to join her for hot button conversations and growing her email list by 2655 highly vetted subscribers in the process. The roundtables may be free to attend, but they have collectively driven $884,000 in post-event sales from attendees. We ask Eleanor all the questions you want to know to replicate this strategy in your own business, from the logistics of promoting, inviting speakers, and facilitating roundtable conversations, to which roundtable topics drew the biggest crowds and how to best approach the post-event sales process without scaring your new leads away.

10 JUN 2024 · Want to weed out the freebie seekers in your next launch? Try this pre-launch strategy on for size. Kelsey McCormick, founder of Coming Up Roses, knows that launch strategies are ever evolving, so she’s tested MULTIPLE top-of-funnel approaches ranging from challenges to workshops to quizzes. But she recently discovered that the best way to get intentional buyers for her $1500 program was to identify the people in her community who were serious about the transformation she offered AND had buying power! She did this by creating a limited series private podcast priced at $99 to access. This strategy converted 30% of listeners into program students, generating $108,000 in sales between two live launches! In today’s case study, we dig into the data from Kelsey’s January and May launches to uncover the private podcast content, structure, and timelines that move listeners to take action.

3 JUN 2024 · You may be overcomplicating your launches… While in the midst of a health scare juggling appointments, surgeries, and literally being unable to speak for periods of time, list-building expert and business matchmaker Linda Sidhu still pulled off a $330K launch. She didn’t use any of the traditional methods during her launch to promote her offer, like ads, webinars, social media posts, or email blasts. All of her new buyers were referred by her network of clients, peers, and mentors. Linda is a testament to why community is the greatest lifeline for your business, and in this case study, she details exactly how she supercharged word of mouth sales to enroll 98 members for a $3500 offer.

20 MAY 2024 · As humans, we are subconsciously attracted to or trusting of things that feel familiar. Today’s case study examines how executive assistant Kiri Mohan, who also doubles as a coach for freelancers who work corporate jobs, used this to her advantage to double her revenue in one year - all while working 25 hours a week as a solopreneur. By implementing a simple reflection framework, Kiri studied the brand colors, imagery, copy, social media, and website of her ideal clients, and started reflecting similar qualities in her own brand presentation and messaging. Doing this not only attracted the exact kind of clients that Kiri wanted to work with, but it allowed her to increase her pricing - going from working $40 per hour trading time for money to $5K per month retainer contracts. This reflection process is brilliant, let’s dig in.

13 MAY 2024 · Debt - especially personal or consumer debt - feels like a monster most people prefer to shove in a closet, so we’re grateful to get a rare and financially vulnerable testimony of what managing and paying off debt as an entrepreneur actually looks like from our guest, Taylor Aller. Despite making 6-figures as a multi-passionate registered massage therapist, educator and consultant, Taylor didn’t feel like her finances were in a comfortable place. After taking a deep dive into her and her husband’s financial situation, she faced head-on the $65K in consumer debt they had accumulated. In today’s case study, Taylor details how they leveraged a concept called multi-potentialism to monetize a wide range of skills and pay off nearly $70K of debt and interest combined in just 9 months, without burning out.

22 APR 2024 · Are you misallocating your company’s resources on a product that’s stunting your growth? Today’s case study investigates this dilemma. Michelle Razavi, CEO and co-founder of the gut-friendly food company, Elavi, recently faced this roadblock head on. After successfully launching the company in 2020 with collagen protein bars, she made the tough decision to cut this entire product line - giving up $100,000 in guaranteed revenue in the process - in favor of going all-in on their new (and more promising) product line of dessert cashew butter spreads. Mere months later, Elavi’s dessert butters were picked up by retailing giant Costco, AND they’re now on track to generate $1M this year! It's not easy to let go of something you poured your heart into, but what if doing so could open the door to a new, million-dollar opportunity? Michelle walks us through how she came to this decision, the pitching strategy that got Costco’s attention, and why this pivot 10Xed their revenue.
