In this episode, our host John Grimshaw unpacks what’s underneath every struggling strategy and every burned-out marketer. There’s a missing piece that will make all the difference, and that piece is your ‘Offer.’ So if you’re overwhelmed or feeling stuck, tune in to hear exactly what you need to do next.
Be sure to give us a Five-Star Review when you apply what you learn and it works!
“Essentially, an offer is made up of five things: A product or service plus specificity, plus relevance, a transformation, and finally, a reason to act now. When you add all five of those things together, you go from having a product that’s sitting on a sales page to An Offer.” John Grimshaw.
You will learn:
- Why your offer is the key to success (not the product).
- How to manage your emotions and be content with your outcomes.
- ow to determine which marketing tasks are important and which are essential!
