In today’s solo episode, we dive deep into two incredibly potent marketing strategies that can work wonders for transforming your coaching business – Launches and Invite-Only Events.
Mastering Marketing Strategies: Launches vs. Invite-Only Events
Key Takeaways:
Launches:
- Launches serve as five-day events that are all about cultivating the all-important know, like, and trust factor.
- They cleverly blend both cold and warm audiences to foster a tight-knit community.
- The emphasis here is on sparking those “aha” moments and nurturing curiosity among your audience.
- These events use a combination of open and closed cart phases to drive enrollments, and they’re also a fantastic way to establish yourself as an expert while generating substantial revenue.
Invite Only Events (IO Events):
- IO Events, on the other hand, are concise 50-minute masterclasses that I offer frequently.
- The focus here is on creating an intimate environment with a maximum of 20 attendees.
- We kick things off with a mindset warmup and tackle three major obstacles your audience might face.
- Each IO Event provides one valuable tip to address these challenges, and we follow up with personalized enrollment calls.
- The best part? These events are a low-tech, easily repeatable marketing asset.
Launching Success Metrics:
- Keep an eye on RSVPs
- Track attendance
- Monitor enrollment calls
- Keep tabs on enrollments
IO Event Success Metrics:
- Aim for impressive show-up rates (50% or higher)
- Count the enrollment call invitations
- Keep track of scheduled enrollment call
- And of course, tally up your enrollments
When to Use Each Strategy:
- Launches are your go-to strategy three times a year to not only grow your audience but also generate substantial revenue.
- IO Events are perfect for the gaps between launches, helping you maintain that essential intimacy and consistently attract new clients.
Key Quotes:
- “The know, like, and trust factor is really able to go off the roof.”
- “Selling transformational coaching is a skill. It’s not like selling a widget.”
- “An invite-only event takes all that pressure off.”
