Deep dives
Debriefing the Launch Process
Debriefing after a launch is crucial as it helps in understanding what worked and what didn't. By analyzing the data and numbers from a launch, decisions for future strategies can be made effectively. The debriefing process allows for informed decisions to be made based on interpreting the data collected.
Consistency and Innovation in Launches
Consistency in operations is key for business success. While innovation and creativity are important, the foundation of what works should not be disregarded. Replicating and delegating proven methods leads to sustainable growth. The philosophy of 'do less, do it better' emphasizes improving what already works and eliminating what doesn't.
Intimate Connections and Follow-ups for Sales Success
Creating intimate touchpoints like Zoom meetings and live sessions during a launch can significantly increase sales. Allowing potential customers to ask questions and connect personally can build trust and lead to more conversions. Additionally, thorough follow-up strategies, including one-on-one interactions and multiple touchpoints, ensure that potential leads are nurtured effectively.
Facing Challenges of Business Ethics and Morality
Navigating the challenges of business ethics and morality is vital in the digital business landscape. Balancing the pursuit of profit with moral integrity is essential. Dealing with individuals who may engage in dishonest practices for personal gain showcases the importance of staying true to one's values and ensuring that business practices align with ethical standards.
For today’s solo episode, I want to give my thoughts on our biggest launch yet that just wrapped up in June for my signature program, Business By Design! As you’ll hear, I gained a lot of insight on what worked very well and the things we will be doing again in the future. I also share my top regret from this latest launch, in the hopes that you learn from this experience, so make sure to listen until very end of the episode to get that lesson and something profound that I took from it.
Regardless of where you are in your journey, try taking even just one thing I share, apply it to your next launch and promotion, and watch what happens!
