What are the best practices for getting more repeat consulting calls on Clarity?

Provide value up front, and at the end of the call, give them an irresistible offer using their own language solving their problems. Before you get off the call, get email and phone numbers and follow up with them at a predetermined time. Follow up with them, don't wait for them to contact you.

We have leads for our solution. However, we don't have the sales people to follow-up and close opportunities. How can we solve this problem?

Hire a VA to do it.

Marketing tips for an explainer video business?

First step is to create a problem only you can solve. This will create the hook and buying power. What makes you different? Why should they buy from you? What problem are you solving?

2nd, condition people to receive this problem as their own. Once they are convinced they have this problem, they will seek your solution. Condition the market through blogging, media, live video, speaking, content marketing, podcasts, etc.

3rd step is to market the problem, not the solution. Keep the problem in front of everyone, then deliver results. People buy results. So deliver value that gets results.

If you have any questions, email me sean@thesuccesscorps.com. Hope this helps.

How to earn money from home ?

To earn money from home, become a VA. Send emails for people, be a publicist, build a website, just work on people's businesses. Alleviate the stress they are under and you will be paid. I recommend finding what you're exceptional at, and the monetize that.

Speaking Engagements

Sean Douglas answered

What is best way to get more speaking engagements?

You can search for Associations that work within your topic of the book, you can get booked on podcasts, or even get booked for a TEDx talk.

The best way to get booked is:
1) what is your message to the world
2) who needs to hear this
3) where do they hang out

Answer these questions and you are on the path to getting booked. I wrote an entire guide on how to get booked to speak. Bit.ly/GetBookedToSpeak

How does one grow a highly unique business or a personality driven venture that has rejected growth-hacking, ppc ads, social media and all?

You grow the business by Positioning yourself as the subject matter expert with credibility and authority in your category. First step is to create a problem that only you can solve. Once you know the problem you solve, frame the problem in a way that your market understands and then condition the market to receive you and the problem you solve. Once you condition the market, sell the problem not the solution.

If you have any questions, let's book a call.

Coaches: how to attract and qualify prospects at a speaking gig booth?

Have a give away at your both that they sign up for in exchange for their email address. When talking to people, talk about the problem you solve or their problems that you would solve. Having a signup sheet and gathering emails can be more lucrative then anything else.

How has Uber grown so fast?

The #1 reason Uber has grown is because they redefined the industry and created a new market category which labeled them the category king. A category king redefines the way we live, do business, and operate. Combined with solving a unique problem and conditioning the market to receive that problem, they have been able to grow and scale quickly.

Remember, Uber operated for about 2-3 years in California before they became main stream. They have no cars yet they are the largest car service. It gave people a job and the freedom to do it when they want and how long they want. On all fronts, they redefined the way we live our life and that's what makes them the Category King. No matter what Lyft does, they will never overtake Uber because they weren't first and they didn't redesign an industry to create their own category.
