Cubicle to CEO – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This is a replay of episode 117, one of our team-picked top 10 case studies that we felt deserved an encore. We’re dissecting the case study of how Kim used creative negotiation tactics to turn a “no, we can’t afford you” response into a client paying $15,000 more than what they initially offered. If negotiating makes you sweat, Kim’s advice will give you a MBA in negotiation in under an hour.  Keep listening to learn how you too, can get paid over your asking rate when you learn how to problem solve pricing objections WITH your clients.

We are joined on the show today by a dynamic duo who we're lucky to also call friends, Annette Grant and Sarah Karakaian. These talented hosts are the voices behind the premier podcast in the short-term rental space, Thanks For Visiting, as well as the masterminds behind the Hosting Business Mastery Method. In their case study, Annette and Sarah reveal two specific incentives they implemented to build urgency into their free workshop funnel, which led to a staggering 50% improvement in their conversion rate and 90% of their students opting to pay in full for their $2500 signature program. Beyond the element of added urgency, Annette and Sarah also candidly share the other strategies they’ve tested to optimize their free workshop - both the flops and phenomenal successes you’ll want to steal. Tune in to hear what style of testimonials most resonated with viewers on both the live and evergreen versions of their workshop and the winning bonuses that proved to be powerful motivators for people to buy before the workshop even ended.

This affiliate marketing focused episode with Molly Keyser rounds out the final installment in our word-of-mouth and referral marketing mini series. After spending years building a successful photography business, Molly packaged her knowledge into a digital course educating other photographers, and scaled that one course to $2M/year. 10% of total sales were driven by her own students who became affiliates for the course, an impressive feat uncovered in today’s case study where Molly walks us through her process for equipping and motivating her student affiliates - 50 in total - to promote the course on her behalf. Keep listening if you want to tap into the power of word-of-mouth marketing at scale through affiliates!

Today’s episode is the second installment in our word-of-mouth and referral marketing podcast series, this time featuring guest Sara McCabe. As a leadership and operations consultant who helps her clients build better leaders, stronger teams, and more efficient businesses, Sara put her own advice to the test by choosing to walk away from her TikTok account she had built up to 17K followers, and focus instead on generating referrals through past and current clients. This strategic decision resulted in a remarkable 40% increase in revenue, referrals now driving 90% of her sales, and an extra $46,550 in her pocket over the course of last year.  What may surprise you most is why she doesn’t incentivize referrals from her clients with monetary kickbacks, and what she has found to work better instead. This hot take and more are uncovered in today’s case study on leveraging the power of word of mouth referrals from your existing clients.

Enter to win a $200 shopping spree with your small business of choice + submit a question to be featured in our upcoming 200th episode of the podcast: ellenyin.com/200 This interview kicks off a 3 episode series centered on growing your revenue through referral and word of mouth marketing. Our first guest is Amanda Walker, host of the Best Damn Coach podcast and a master performance coach, who went from making $623 paychecks as a high school teacher to building a million dollar coaching business helping service-based entrepreneurs 10X their client results so they can grow their impact and profit. Research shows that the #1 way qualified leads make decisions is based on word-of-mouth referrals and customer references, yet many service providers are drowning so much in client delivery that they often miss the opportunity to capture and “sprinkle client results like confetti in everything you do,” as Amanda would say. Her case study examines the 3 specific ways she started leveraging and repurposing client results to attract more than $1 million in coaching contracts, with no audience, website, or even social media to begin with. Amanda also explains the difference between informal and formal testimonials and why shifting toward informal testimonials will help you build greater trust with your audience. Keep listening to hear how you can make the most of this underutilized, low-cost marketing strategy.
