How to Be a Successful Engineer

Too many copywriters have a limiting belief around how much they can charge for their services, so our guest for the 204th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast is Jereshia Hawk, a high-ticket sales coach who shared how we can overcome that mindset issue. But that’s not all we talked about. We also covered… •  how she became known for helping clients increase high-ticket sales •  how her “engineering” approach shifts her thinking about products, problems and failure •  overcoming objections—after the sale •  why she carves out an hour on Monday’s for “superthinking” •  her thoughts on building a team (and our role as an “employee” of your company) •  what a personal performance review should look like (questions you can ask) •  the zero sum budget approach to goal setting •  how copywriters can overcome the idea that they can’t make a lot of money •  the first steps toward building a high-ticket offer (like as much as $40K or more) •  the simplicity rule that can instantly help you sell more •  the POP method that helps you synthesize your offer and audience •  her “champagne closer method” that completely changes a sales call •  rethinking the free content you provide and what it has to do •  the one metric everyone with a business needs to know <— this is critical •  how she leverages one piece of content to show up everywhere •  a step-by-step breakdown of the Jereshia’s sales call process •  the mid-call check-in/pattern interrupt and why you steal this idea •  the “hidden” mindset shift that changed Jereshia’s path into the online world •  why your success isn’t reflected in your latest success or failure This is a great discussion you won’t want to miss.

The people and stuff we mentioned on the show: Jereshia’s question list: •  What expectations would I have of the CEO? •  How would I measure the performance and success of the CEO? •  Am I living up to those expectations now? How so? Why or why not? •  Would I hire myself again? Why or why not? •  What uncomfortable decision am I putting off right now that is preventing me from moving forward?

Your high-end prospects have different needs, different problems, different beliefs, possibly even a different outlook on life. So naturally, reaching those prospects takes a very different approach. Today, on the 204th of The Copywriter Club podcast, we're speaking with high ticket sales coach, Jereshia Hawk.
