13:04:03 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: Q: Paid discovery seems the only one where you’re not doing additional strategy work on your own, but rather regurgitating the discussion in an organized way. Correct? 13:05:26 From Jane Cody to Everyone: Do you give feedback on our strategy offers/templates. Do we email ti to you. 13:07:35 From Robin Coles to Everyone: Q: Most people think SaaS stands for Software as a Service. How do you differentiate yourself if using this acronym? 13:09:41 From David Rodeck to Everyone: Q. I feel like most of my clients haven't asked me for strategy ever (mostly very large companies or agencies who seem to have a clear idea what they're doing.) I'm in the role of a very well paid ordertaker like Ed described. Is there any opportunity here or do I need to rethink my target market? 13:10:15 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: Q: I was working on a juicy offer for a messaging strategy session. I was struggling with defining the cutoff for the strategy session and how the post-session report differs from a deliverable like a messaging document. Thoughts on how to define the cutoff for what to offer as part of the strategy fee? 13:11:33 From Patricia Viscount Consulting Ltd to Everyone: Q: I’ve sold strategy sessions but I’ve also included a quarterly content calendar. In your world, the calendar would be an add on/next step? 13:16:02 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: Q: Can you talk about how to define/create your value ladder and give some examples of how each step feeds into the next? (from end of session 1) 13:21:09 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: (I am just putting out my questions, but please don't feel the need to answer them in order, as I've already put many out there) Q: In the Juicy Offer framework we need to include proof, which could take the form of a testimonial. A) Is it OK to include testimonials that are somewhat related? For example, I have a testimonial that praises the outcomes of the strategy work, but doesn't praise it directly. Is that still OK? B) In what formats do you solicit testimonials? What questions do you ask? Which questions get the best response for your proof needed to sell more? 13:23:40 From Jim Gallant to Everyone: How do you approach the situation when a client doesn't measure success? For example, they would like to increase click-throughs but don't yet have a baseline. 13:26:42 From Jane Cody to Everyone: What to do with a client that has hired an SEO company and keyword stuffing ias what they do. 13:28:51 From Jim Gallant to Everyone: Austin, do you have a report template, both "empty" and filled in with the answers you have to your client? I learn best by example (and practice, of course!). 13:32:45 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: Reacted to "Austin, do you have ..." with πŸ‘ 13:32:52 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: Reacted to "How do you approach ..." with πŸ‘ 13:34:14 From Jim Gallant to Everyone: Austin and Ed, how do you like to start? For instance, many freelancers offer a free 20-30 minute consultation call for the initial conversation. I think doing so is table stakes … what's your take? 13:34:45 From David Rodeck to Everyone: Reacted to "Austin and Ed, how d..." with πŸ‘ 13:36:53 From Patricia Viscount Consulting Ltd to Everyone: I was thinking about starting to get the word out by making the offer to my email list. Is that cool or do you prefer to do it 1:1? 13:37:45 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: It's no problem at all, just putting them in the bank if more questions needed. 13:38:16 From Marina Damiano to Everyone: Reacted to "I was thinking about..." with ❀️ 13:41:13 From David Rodeck to Everyone: I'd second Jim's question about the free 20-30 minute consultation for new prospects. Do we stop doing that? 13:49:31 From Jim Gallant to Everyone: jamespgallant@gmail.com If anyone wants to chat about their progress, share stories, etc. outside the coaching session. 13:49:59 From Jim Gallant to Everyone: My personal email addy ^^^^ 13:52:43 From David Rodeck to Everyone: Sounds good Jim, I'll email you! 13:53:06 From Jim Gallant to Everyone: I'll look into setting up a mastermind group.
