Why Dave Chose to Interview Kim:

More importantly it has helped him build a very successful business providing Done For You Marketing Services. Whether you are looking to scale or looking for a funnel to hack to get in the business of serving clients you will love what Kim presents.
Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“You can’t past that next level which is that $750K and towards the $1,000,000 unless you have a system across all of your businesses. And this is not just from the marketing standpoint but you need to develop systems to each of those new levels and new heights.”
“I think that’s the way true brilliance and true expertise lie is when you can make things simple to understand and your confident in what you do.”
“When people show us funnels and especially when we see their campaigns and stuff, they don’t give people the option to take the next step. Like well if I opt-in for something, generally speaking, I want to get an outcome. I don’t go around opting in just for fun.”
“That ‘Thank You’ Page for us is one of the most expensive pieces of real estate to just disregard.”
Other Tidbits:
There’s more than one way to skin a cat as many of us have all heard, and hopefully don’t have too much personal experience with. This concept really applies to Kim as he came to find out when it came to webinars. He saw that his skill wasn’t selling to people over the video as most extroverted people are. He instead saw that he was best at selling to people over the phone. As he realized this he began to change his model of webinars to get as many people to buy in before the webinar even started. He got this idea from his realization that he was the kind ideal target of the webinar.

Why Dave Decided to Talk about Our Vulnerabilities:
People buy on emotion. This requires you to connect with your audience. There is no better way than by being vulnerable. But “How Vulnerable”? There is a fine line from being authentically vulnerable and being vulnerable only to sell. People can see right through this and it can hurt you more than help you. Dave reveals an example of where being totally vulnerable actually connected with the audience and helped sell over 50,000 copies of an E-book in less than 5 months.
Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“The fascinating thing to me is the massive amount of success she had because she connected so pure, and so raw, and so vulnerable. “
“I see a lot of people who use vulnerability as a power tool to almost take advantage of people. That’s not what I’m talking about here. This vulnerability is how you truly feel”
“This wheelchair wasn’t a symbol of limitation. It was a symbol of freedom.”
Other Tidbits:
Vulnerability lets people know your real, so it better be real. There is nothing that will hurt your business and credibility in the industry than presenting yourself as someone you’re really not. If you truly want to help those in your influence, then you need to show them how the product has helped people like them. That person can potentially even be you.
When we allow ourselves to become vulnerable with our audience we build a relationship with them. And what happens when you have a relationship with somebody? They trust you. With this trust your audience will be more willingly to confide in you and trust you with their testimonials.

Why Dave Chose to Interview Linh Trinh:
Linh Trinh is a master at selling high ticket products. The best part is he sells them by creating undeniable truth. Basically, he helps the prospect realize what Linh is offering is the best way for them to get the results that they want. If you believe in what you sell you have a moral obligation to be the best and do whatever it takes to help others. Linh reveals his secrets to helping 1,000s of people get what they want and shows you how you can to.
Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“When you offer something for free, people don’t value your time. So, what would happen is I would have 3 or 4 of my coaches just waiting around having appointments booked. And they would sit around all day just waiting for people.”
“The really specific questions allow them to visualize the scenario and then allows them to answer the question.”
“The whole coaching process begins even before the coaching begins, it begins at the sales call. The sales call in itself is a ‘breakthrough call’.”
Other Tidbits:
Linh doesn’t sell features that come with his services, his logic is that when you talk about all of the features your product includes it more often causes uncertainty than persuasion.

Why Dave Chose to Interview Lisa Sasevich:
Lisa has been creating irresistible offers for decades. These offers have helped her sell over $40 million of her own products and services from home with 2 toddlers in tow. This skill has also helped her business become an Inc 500 fastest growing privately held company. She details her 3 components to the perfect irresistible offer and how you can use them in your business. You can even use them to help raise your kids.
Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“…like they’re doing all the activities that they’re supposed to do, but it’s just not all designed to lead to that irresistible offer.”
“You kind of feel like you’re in motion but you’re really just jumping up and down. When you add your offer then you’re going forward. So, it’s about all of the stuff you’re doing, and not stopping them, but when you add this focus it makes it pay.”
“People are so passionate about their mission yet so scared to sell. Yet it’s not a sell when you have something of true value that you want to give to people.”
“That is where you’re building that funnel, you’re selling something online, I believe you are doing 80% of the work for 20% of the profits. You add that live event, have that lead to a high ticket irresistible offer, you’ll be doing 20% of the work for 80% of the profits.”
Other Tidbits:
Dave gives Lisa major kudos for all that she has done. Not only in the realm of business though, Lisa has also left an impact on the home front as well with raising two toddlers as a single mom.
Lisa emphatically relays the importance of not overwhelming your audience. Your product might be extraordinarily simple yet have multiple opportunities for going deeper into complexities. If this is the case, then let your audience know that after they buy into your product. If they only need to find out something basic, give them their answer and if they want to let their imagination run wild after that then you can present them with that opportunity.
Dave and Lisa have gotten to the point where one sale doesn’t move a mountain the way it used to, however changing a life means all the world to them. The first section of this is a very prevalent truth to some of your audiences. Is the second as prevalently known to your audience? Do you feel genuine excitement when your product truly changes someone’s life?

Dave Woodward details the personal experiences most go through to become successful. As a marketer, it is your job and responsibility to provide the “freedom” your clients, prospects and followers are looking for.
Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“All of a sudden these doubts and these thoughts are beginning to weigh me down. It is crazy how I’m allowing this one man, who doesn’t even know me at all, to control my thoughts and my emotions.”
“It was funny, I was having this conversation with [Russel] and he says, ‘It’s fascinating these people pay me $25,000 a year and sometimes a lot of them just want me to give them permission to be successful.’”
“We go through this crazy paradox of you want permission but you don’t really need permission.”

Julie Stoian gives you the tips and tricks of how to grow an engaged Facebook Group. Engagement is the key to growing a group organically. Julie details 5 things she does to help grow her group and what we are doing to grow ClickFunnels Facebook group as well.
Tips and Tricks for Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“Speed is the name of the game when it comes to engagement.”
“People like to join groups for the networking. If you give them a little spot, that’s controlled, where they can promote it helps the engagement, it helps the group, and it also helps them feel like there’s opportunity there.”
“A lot of people have groups because they just want to sell to them. Like you can sell to them but make sure they have another incentive to be there.”
Other Tidbits:
When you go on Facebook you can find plenty of red oceans in the “entrepreneurial group” sections, you need to carve out a different niche there. If you are selling coaching to help people improve their business or even selling simple products it is detrimental to your time and energy to be in those red oceans. Carve yourself out a blue, underappreciated, or even brand knew section to help expand your reach to its full capacity.

Why Dave Chose to Talk about What We Sell:
Dave Woodward wants to lay out the details for the pros and cons to the types of products that sell best. He reveals secrets successful marketers use to sell products as experiences and what you can do to have similar success.
Tips and Tricks for Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“Unfortunately for most of us that are in marketing we end up going the exact opposite direction. Our product becomes very price-sensitive, very commoditized.”
“But once you start bundling it with different products and services where someone no longer compare it to other water bottles. It now becomes an experience that the person is going to get along with that.”
“Even though you’re selling a product or a commodity you can still have an experience. Try to find different ways of creating it, most of it is through your marketing.”
Other Tidbits:
Dave loves ice cream, his wife loves Lu Lu Lemon.

Why Dave Chose to Interview Julie Stoian:
I get asked all of the time how to launch a funnel if I don’t have any money to spend on Facebook or other Ad platforms. Julie Stoian provides 6 different ways you can use to get free traffic to your funnel. The key is to get started asap.
Tips and Tricks for You and Your Business:
Quotable Moments:
“Usually what happens is if you go out and help 100 people, 20 or 30 of them are going to go in and click on your profile and there’s your ‘Wallbait’ sitting right there.”
“If you don’t have money to send on a huge ad budget then what you do have is time. And so make sure that the time your spending is of value to you and of value to the person you’re reaching out to.”
“Again, it’s about delivering content that the platform, and the people on that platform, actually like.”
Other Tidbits of the Podcast:
There is a fine line between a bribe and a gift to show appreciation. Dave tells us about how somebody who had sent a handwritten letter and miniature copies of Dave’s favorite book no bigger than his thumb. This gift meant a lot to him personally and although no favors were reciprocated, he gained a lot of respect for this man. Dave then contrasts this to someone else who gave Russel a somewhat thoughtful gift and shows up the next day expecting to be able to borrow some of Russel’s time. Although Russel pulled himself away from his work for this guy, their relationship ended there as he didn’t see any reason to associate with someone who would have such an entitled persona.
