    #1 Mistake I'm Seeing Gyms Make Right Now | Ep 178

    enFebruary 07, 2020

    Podcast Summary

    • Effective positioning during gym industry peak timesUse a deliberate 'whisper, tease, shout' approach to maximize sales and customer engagement during gym industry peak times.

      Effective positioning is key to selling in the gym industry, especially during peak times like January. Many gym owners make the mistake of haphazardly promoting their services without addressing potential customers' questions or beliefs. Instead, use a deliberate and strategic approach inspired by the "whisper, tease, shout" method. Start with a whisper in your warmer audience, building excitement with minimal promotion. As you get closer to the launch, gradually increase the volume with more targeted marketing efforts. This framework, proven successful for both gym services and supplement companies, can help maximize sales and customer engagement.

    • Countdown to Product Launch: Build Anticipation and Excite Potential CustomersEffectively market product launches by sharing teaser graphics a month out, addressing pain points during the 10-day window, and creating a sense of urgency to drive interest and sales

      Effective marketing for product launches involves strategically building anticipation and excitement through a well-timed countdown. Start by sharing a teaser graphic a month out, then send a few emails and posts during the 10-day window leading up to the launch. In these communications, focus on addressing potential customers' pain points and aggravating their frustrations with the current solutions. By doing so, you'll create a sense of urgency and need for your product or service, ultimately driving interest and sales. Remember, the key is to keep the anticipation high without overwhelming your audience with too much information too early.

    • Maximize email launch impact by addressing multiple audience needsRecycle emails with different angles, send multiple launch day messages, and sell in-person to build trust

      Effective email marketing for launching a program involves addressing multiple facets of your audience's needs, such as nutrition, fitness, and accountability. Recycling emails with different angles can help reach those who may not have read previous messages. On launch day, sending multiple emails and text messages with concise bullet points can keep the offer at the top of their minds, encouraging sign-ups. For in-person businesses, selling in person is the most effective way to leverage the trust built face-to-face. Remember, the goal is to make the offer as accessible and enticing as possible to potential customers.

    • Building excitement for a new offering through a sequence of teasers and emails in the ten days leading up to registrationEffectively promote a new offering by creating anticipation with teasers, emails, and texts, addressing objections, and engaging the audience.

      Effective promotion for a new offering involves building excitement through a sequence of teasers, emails, and texts in the ten days leading up to registration or calendar opening. This approach helps address potential objections and keeps the audience engaged. Additionally, posting cadence in Facebook Groups should be once a week to avoid coming across as aggressive. During the last week, a 24-hour reminder can be sent for launches. For scheduling consultations, it's best to have clients opt in and schedule a time slot, especially for warm lists, as they are less likely to no-show. Encouraging clients to bring a friend to orientations can also help close deals. Lastly, podcast growth relies on listeners leaving ratings and reviews, so it's essential to ask for them regularly.

    • Stick to consistent communication for new programsFocus on clarifying value proposition and addressing customer needs, regardless of product uniqueness

      Effective marketing for new programs requires consistent communication across multiple channels, but the approach should not vary significantly from what works for other offerings. People's excitement for a product doesn't change the rules of selling. A gym owner, for instance, was struggling to sell an expensive piece of equipment and kept asking for a unique pitch. However, the key selling point ended up being its time efficiency – taking less time for users compared to other workouts. The marketing strategy remains the same: clarify the value proposition and address the customer's needs. Don't assume that the unique features of your program will be enough to sell it; focus on the benefits that appeal to your audience.

    • Creating a captivating sales processInvest time and energy in marketing campaigns, build trust, and cater to client preferences for successful sales

      Effective marketing and sales involve allowing people to buy into what you're offering, creating anticipation and excitement through various means, both internally and externally. The process can be compared to a dance, where you lead your audience through the experience, building up to the final reveal. It's essential to understand that not everyone may be aware of your offerings, despite your best efforts, and it's crucial to give your marketing campaigns enough time and energy to be successful. Additionally, trust between you and your clients is vital, and catering to their preferences and desires can lead to better results for both parties. So, put in the effort to create a captivating sales process, and trust that your clients will follow along.

    • Share your weight loss journey with others for motivation and supportPromote your weight loss journey on social media or other platforms for motivation and support, and maintain a positive and consistent message to achieve success.

      Promoting your weight loss journey effectively is crucial for success. If you fail to do so, you may be disappointed with the results and feel sad at the end of your weight loss journey. This can be easily avoided by tagging people who can help you with your weight loss goals on social media or other platforms. Remember, promoting your journey in a positive and consistent manner is essential for maintaining motivation and achieving your weight loss objectives. Don't let a lack of promotion hinder your progress towards a healthier and happier you.

    162 - Building a Greeting Card Brand with Kate Smith

    Today on Obsessed Show I'm chatting with greeting card designer and founder of the Kate Smith Company… you guessed it, Kate Smith.

    According to her website, Kate and her husband Ryan launched their first company, From Frank, together in 2012. We quickly grew the line of 50 greeting cards into a full-fledged character brand — which we won’t spoil all the details in the introduction.

    In 2018, they decided to expand their repertoire of fart jokes and created Kate Smith Company — making From Frank the official animal arm, or paw if you will, of the brand. 

    But that’s not all… Kate was the very first intern candidate I ever met with in my first business, so we’ve got some catching up to do.

    So without further ado, please enjoy this conversation with Kate Smith.
