First Hack Suggestion
➡️ You should absolutely have a quiz at the top of your funnel
What is Their Purpose
👉 To meet their heroes and build relationship with them
Key Win
✔️ Impress the speakers
✔️ Get to meet people
Demir's Thought On Speakers Promoting
➡️ Do not mandate them to promote, it’s not providing any value
➡️ The speakers are already bringing in their knowledge, expertise, trust and credibility to your summit
➡️ Make them feel you’re bringing a ton of value and that you’re working hard for them
Amazing Hack Suggestions
👉 Make a minimum buy-in commitment
👉 If you feel that there's another thing that you would rather commit to go consolidate your energy and go commit to that thing
Final Piece Of Advice From Demir
“It feels the hardest to do is the thing that you have to do the most, which is make decisions and commit. When we decided to start marketing, we knew that if we tried to market on Facebook and on LinkedIn and through Twitter and through social and through blogs, like if we tried to do all of those, we would suck at all of them and we would die before we got good enough at one. So we just decided to choose one and commit and get good at it. In our case, the first thing we chose was Facebook ads. I know it's hard because there's always that period where you suck at that thing, where you've done your first couple of ads, or you've done your first summit and you just suck.
The results were terrible. You're embarrassed. You're, you're totally embarrassed by the result. And that's the point at which you are the most victim, somebody else coming along and saying, check out this thing. This is going to be the answer. And you were just doing the wrong thing because that's what you want to believe. And I'm just saying to really win and to really not be preyed to this constant shiny object syndrome, you need to just say, this is where my client is, this is where my customer is and I'm just going to play the long game and I'm going to get good at this thing.”
