I did a survey recently to learn more about what you need help with and am so grateful to everyone who participated. The results spoke loud and clear. I’m going to do a free webinar on January 24 to address all the main challenges you said you’re facing with your business and answer your questions.
Here is what you identified as some of the biggest challenges you said you’re facing with your business:
– Attracting your ideal clients
– Building your list
– Nailing your niche
– Identifying your USP
– Crafting your Magical Marketing Message
– Creating a valuable giveaway to inspire people to join your list
– Managing your time, getting focused
There were other challenges as well, such as creating marketing plans, managing social media, identifying joint venture partners, and product development. The vast majority don’t have a signature system and there was interest in learning more about that – stay tuned for more on that very soon.
Only 19% of you feel that you know your ideal client inside and out, and only 16% feel you can clearly explain how you outshine the competition. 70% of you either don’t have a giveaway at all (51%), or only have an ezine (19%) as an incentive for people to opt in to your list.
In terms of how you like to best learn, the biggest preference is for video training (71%), followed by teleseminar or webinar (61%), action guide (55) and audio training (40%).
When I asked you what questions you had for me, I got hundreds of responses. Here are some of the things you told me you want help with:
“Having the confidence to be specific when it comes to identifying my niche”“Connecting with people that would benefit from my expertise”“Wanting the process of building the foundation to be faster than it is”“Finding my target audience online – been a continual struggle from day one”“Differentiating myself from competitors”“How do I use my experience to do something different”“How do I get started”“What if I want more than one niche”“How do I build a bigger and more responsive list”
You definitely don’t want to miss this call. Not only am I going to share a ton of valuable information, I’m also going to answer your questions AND give away hundreds of dollars in prizes!
I look forward to seeing you there!
In the meantime, please share your comments and questions about the survey results. What do you think? Does this reflect what you’re struggling with right now?
Dear Cindy:
I think you’re getting the hang of things now. It looked “weak” when you were giving away so many coaching sessions, after being a long time in the business, it looked like you couldn’t find paying clients, and didn’t know what you’re doing. NOW you’re cooking. I am right at the beginning. i haven’t committed myself to anyone. My three major concerns are : 1) Nailing my niche 2) Building a list and 3) Finding lucrative joint venture partnerships with top performers when I will start so small with such a small list to offer them in return. You might also joint venture with people who you think are tops in the field of creating fun exciting surveys, and how to use the data one gets from such a survey most productively, as you are doing now. Cheers. NOW I think you’re getting the hang of this. By for now.
Hi Bill. Thanks for your comment. To clarify, when I did the survey I raffled off on one free coaching call. I could never have offered free coaching calls for everyone who did the survey – there were over 150 people who replied so even if they were paid calls, I would have been a very busy lady:)
I appreciate you sharing where you’re at with your business. Nailing your niche and building a list are the top challenges for so many people (as the survey revealed). I think you’ll find the free webinar about both those topics very helpful. Just go to http://www.FastestPathtoIdealClients.com to register.
