Providing A Connecting Experience

Challenges He Had To Overcome
➡️ Naming
-
Name your events so they don't have to guess and figure out what it is and make it as clear as day what it is like
➡️ Education
-
Show and explain them how it works
➡️ Capturing information
-
Always capture their information
➡️ Interacting
-
Getting them interacting and moving so they feel like it's not something they can just walk away from and disengage is really, really important
Providing People What They Need For The Event
👉 Provide step by step, bullet point instructions
👉 Break it down for them
👉 Create a video share that they can watch or picture screenshots that explains it
👉 Pretend you're explaining this to your grandma
👉 Make it as super easy as possible that they can figure it out because it's important
👉 Be open and reachable at all times
👉 Make sure you have a team to help you with that
👉 Keep it simple
How To Get Them Emotionally Involved
✔️ Be honest
-
Tell the story that you’re going through
✔️ Get personal
-
Ask the person their name
-
Ask them how they're doing right now

I want to end this episode by saying,
"I believe in YOU & YOU can do this."
Summits are by far one of the most powerful ways to quickly grow your list, launch your platform & make more money! (Even if you are just getting started).
Don’t get caught up in Analysis paralysis, because the world needs to hear your message & there are people who are waiting for you to help them.
So just get started. Imperfect action is always better than doing nothing!
Thank you and see you on the next episode!
