Why Your Virtual Assistant is Set Up to Fail

If you already have a virtual assistant, you probably have a decent understanding of what’s possible. The problem is, the possibility doesn’t always equal reality. Many of us get frustrated when our VA isn’t working out exactly as we hoped. I want to help you fix that right now.

But first, if you don’t currently have a virtual assistant, here’s what I know to be true:

You’re working really hard right now.

I’m surprised you even have time to read this blog.

The Easiest Prospect Conversion Tool You’re (Probably) Underusing

What are you currently using to convert prospects into clients?

Don’t worry, it’s not a trick question. Coaches typically use either one-on-one sales appointments, live events, or webinars to convert high-quality prospects into high-paying clients. Sometimes, we use a combination of all three.

Personally, I’ve been fortunate enough to have success with all three, but they’re definitely not created equal.

Selling 1:1

Selling with a one-on-one appointment is okay, but it’s often slow and messy.

Sell With Webinars: How to Package Your Call To Action

Over the last five posts, we’ve been talking about how to offer a free, one-on-one strategy session at the end of a webinar to book more sales appointments.

Most coaches know how difficult it is to sell high-priced coaching programs to new leads on a single webinar. If all we did was teach content for an hour and make a quick sales pitch at the end for an expensive program, we probably wouldn’t convert very well.

Don’t hustle. Do this instead.

I’m here at the Million Dollar Coach Intensive in London.

I have just been given a topic to talk about: “How to not work so hard in your coaching business”

I have this theory that working hard is a little bit overrated. There’s a thing going on right now that we should hustle.

You’ve probably seen a bunch of people or a bunch of gurus talking about how important hustle is. And frankly,

Sell With Webinars: How to Take Control of Your Prospects’ Next Steps



Most coaches know how difficult it is to sell high-priced coaching programs to new leads on a single webinar. If all we did was teach content for an hour and make a quick sales pitch at the end for an expensive program, we probably won’t convert very well.

Instead, at the end of the webinar, we want to offer a simple, low-risk next step— a free, 10-minute, one-on-one strategy session that sets up the final sales appointment.

Sell With Webinars: How to Create an Insatiable Hunger for Your Coaching



Over the last several posts, we’ve been looking at how to offer a free, one-on-one strategy session to prospects in a webinar to sell your higher-priced coaching program.

The first step, Seed the Need, is all about installing moments of influence in your webinar content that help make your session offer a no-brainer deal for prospects.

Then we draw a model — a visual aid that shows them exactly how our program will bring them value.

Sell With Webinars: How to Show Your Coaching Program’s True Value



The marketing genius, Dan Kennedy, once said there are two rules of marketing.

  1. Put ladders in front of people.
  2. Don’t climb up other people’s ladders.

Why are we talking about ladders?

Here’s the thing: when you put a ladder in front of someone, they naturally want to climb it.

The moment you place a ladder in front of your prospects, they’ll instantly see where they are right now,

The Ascension Model

The Ascension Model

One of the things that we were talking about earlier is the ascension model. I don’t know if you’ve heard about it but a lot of marketers teach you to run your business.

The Ascension model has something free in your funnel, something cheap, like a tripwire, something not so cheap, something expensive, something really expensive, and something really really really freakin’ expensive. That’s good in theory, and they say that about 20% of the people in each step in your funnel will upgrade to the next step.

Sell With Webinars: How to Sow Seeds of Influence in Content that Converts

In the last post, we talked about how selling higher-priced coaching programs requires a one-on-one conversation — usually in the form of a free strategy session — between the webinar and the sales appointment.

The problem is, getting people to sign up for the free session at the end of a webinar can be really tricky.

What you do in the close of a webinar is really important for getting prospects to take the next step with you,

Why You’re Not Filling Sales Appointments with Webinars (And What You Can Do About It)

Most coaches know that selling an expensive coaching program requires more than the basic sales letter. We’ll either need a live event or some sort of one-on-one conversation in our sales process to get people to say yes to a higher-priced offer.

I’ve found that one of the most scalable ways to get prospects to a sales appointment is through a free, one-on-one strategy session we’ll offer at the end of a webinar.

Most of us are crystal clear about that,
