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.

The media tends to portray women as over-spenders who are bad with money, causing Kickstart Accounting founder Danielle Hayden to notice that many of her new clients would come in asking “where can I cut back?” But Danielle, who runs a 7 figure bookkeeping and accounting agency, challenges that narrative by examining where women are actually underspending in their businesses in a way that is prohibitive to reaching their goals. In this case study, we dissect how Danielle is spending $113,223 on outsourced services for her business this year to drive growth, and why she has no desire to bring these roles in-house. We’ll itemize every outsourced service, how much return she gets on these investments, and the process she uses to discern which roles should be hired in-house versus outsourced to an expert.

Last week, we explored real estate investing as a retirement vehicle and this week, our guest’s chosen retirement strategy is investing in a stock portfolio that will allow her to retire at age 60 with a $15 million portfolio that she can withdraw an annual income of $360,000/year from. Kaitlyn Carlson is the founder & CEO of Theory Planning Partners, a boutique wealth creation firm for the top female entrepreneurs in the United States. Before launching Theory Planning Partners, Kaitlyn spent the majority of her career at UBS Financial Services, Inc., where she developed more than 300 financial plans for clients with assets ranging from $500,000 to $1 Billion. I feel so lucky to be one of Kaitlyn’s Theory clients, where she is helping plan my own path to financial independence, with the goal to become work-optional by my early to mid-40s. Today, Kaitlyn is getting vulnerable and walking us step by step through her and her husband’s personal investment strategy, laying out the exact dollar amounts for everything. Outside of our quarterly income reports we publish on the podcast, this is the most financially transparent + detailed episode we’ve ever recorded on the show. I highly recommend you break out your pen + paper or open a Google doc to take notes as you listen so you can fully process the insights Kaitlyn shares with us today.

As entrepreneurs, we have the rare privilege of deciding when and how we retire. For many of us, retirement isn’t necessarily an age, but rather a milestone of financial independence where the income from assets outside of our business fully cover our lifestyle expenses, thus rendering work optional. “Desirement”, not “retirement” as today’s guest would call it.  In this first installment of our retirement series, we’re talking to Erinn Bridgman, a money management and mindset coach who helps female entrepreneurs not only design a profitable business, but generate personal wealth. Erinn reveals how she used $22,700 from her then-photography business to invest in her first real estate property, which she then snowballed to pay off $100K of student debt + build a real estate portfolio worth $7 million. Her current strategy puts her on a path to retire by 40 with an income of $300K/year, fully funded by her real estate empire. We’re running through all the numbers, profit margins, and real estate investing tactics involved - get ready to take copious notes!

For all the links mentioned in this episode, go to our blog post: https://cubicletoceo.co/disability-advocate/ Most entrepreneurs look at content as a means to an end, or a necessary marketing strategy to drive sales to the actual service or product their business provides - but what if you also monetized the content itself? Tiffany Yu made $100K last year with her side hustle as a content creator, a completely separate income stream from her primary role as the CEO/Founder of Diversability, an award-winning, entirely disabled-run and led social enterprise to elevate disability pride. Her case study today exemplifies how entrepreneurs can double as creators too, outside of their role as CEO. An accomplished 3X TEDx speaker with more than 180K followers now across platforms, Tiffany may surprise you with how she got her first brand deal for $5,000 with only 5,000 followers on Instagram and why this is realistic for a business owner of any size audience to achieve. Brand deals however, aren’t the only way to monetize as a content creator, which Tiffany reveals in her breakdown today of the various income sources that contributed to her $100K side hustle.

AI has entered the chat in a BIG way this year, but what’s just tech hype and what’s actually useful to you as a business owner? Jasmine Garnsworthy, creator of Female Founder World, debriefs her personal use case of how 3 of her favorite AI tools - including Chat GPT - make it possible for her scrappy team of two to sustainably publish large volumes of content AND plan in-person events all over the U.S. - all while retaining their brand originality and content quality. Having previously led editorial for mega media brands like POPSUGAR and Stylecaster, I loved Jasmine’s honest hot takes on how AI is impacting the future of content - and why more women - especially entrepreneurs - need to participate. This conversation is equal parts thought-provoking as it is practical, with Jasmine sharing very specific examples of how you can apply these 3 tools to accelerate your content game, without a steep tech learning curve. Whether you sell services, digital offers, or physical products, this episode is a must-listen.

Imagine making $500,000 dollars from one email. Today’s guest actually did this, and she’s giving you a word for word copy of said email in a doc to peruse AND participate in conversation with her later in this episode. Meet Merel Kriegsman, a former cleaning lady turned self-made millionaire specializing in high-end offers, and dedicated to helping you become the wealthiest woman in your lineage. While we love a good success story, we also recognize that overnight success is rarely a reality. The same is true of course with the $500K email, so Merel sets you up for success by first breaking down the exact long-term email newsletter formula that nurtured her audience to make a mammoth win like that possible. It’ll come in the familiar phrase of “know, like, trust”, but I promise you Merel’s specific approach to incorporating each element in your emails is so much more than a common cliche.

What gives you the marketing ICK? If you’re tired of seeing gurus pose in front of ferraris and reliving the same formulaic webinar - complete with inflated value stacks and fear-induced FOMO - today’s conversation will feel refreshing in more ways than one. We’re joined by my friend Gloria Chou, an award-winning Small Business PR coach who has helped her community generate more than 1 BILLION free, organic views for their business through features in top tier media outlets. Gloria brings us a brutally honest analysis of her most recent program launch of PR Starter Pack, where she tested rejecting the most popular bro marketing tactics that have dominated the last decade. Her experiment resulted in not only a six figure launch, but half of her previous refund rate. She’ll walk us through exactly what she ditched, why, and how that had a positive impact on her bottom line, mental sanity, and relationship with her students. Keep listening to usher in a new era of transparent, ethical marketing.

 The Pareto principle, more commonly known as the 80/20 rule, states that 80% of our outcomes result from only 20% of our efforts. With this in mind, it’s vitally important for entrepreneurs to know what to amplify in their business and what to ruthlessly eliminate. Business growth strategist Frenchie Ferenczi conducted an experiment in pursuit of this truth, implementing a decision filter she dubbed “staying close to the money” to measure everything she spent time on in relation to how likely it was to produce a sale. Doing this helped Frenchie 4X her revenue in one year, and her case study today reveals the five key decisions she made to stay close to the money that revved up her revenue. Keep listening to discover how you can borrow Frenchie’s approach to stay close to the money in your own business.

Full heads up: you’re about to be hit with the motherlode of all case studies. Amy Porterfield is giving us a Cubicle to CEO exclusive on her most recent $7.5 MILLION launch of her signature program, Digital Course Academy. She’s getting radically transparent and sharing financial insights she’s never disclosed anywhere else - including her own chart-topping podcast. We promise we're not just hyping this up because Amy is a legend in the online marketing world, but this is truly the MOST DATA-DRIVEN, and dare we say BEST, case study we’ve ever had on the show. Our podcast is all about asking successful entrepreneurs the business questions you CAN’T Google, and my friend Amy understood the assignment. Her tell-all today includes her detailed step-by–step pre-launch strategy, including exact timelines, number of leads, and conversion rates at every stage of the pre-launch, PLUS our favorite mic drop moment: a next level strategy we had never even heard of that will change the game for your live showup rates.  If this episode rocks your world as much as it did ours, please send Amy your gratitude for her generosity by ordering her new book, Two Weeks Notice.

We're willing to bet if you’ve opened YouTube in the last 12 months, you’ll recognize today’s guest: accomplished investor, founder of Contrarian Thinking, and rising media mogul, Codie Sanchez. Codie took the Internet by storm with her enthusiasm (and smarts) for buying boring small businesses. In short, you’re buying the profits of an existing small business instead of starting one from scratch. But what exactly is a boring small business? Don’t worry, Codie will give us a refresher before we dive into today’s case study on how she built a portfolio of small businesses she owns that make $50 million a year collectively - without her operating in the day-to-day. One thing we love most about Codie is that she’s also an advocate for financial transparency, so in her case study you’ll get to hear the exact deal structure of a recent acquisition and all the numbers involved: cost, revenue, and profits. If you’ve ever felt destined to be an entrepreneur but not a founder, or you’re already running a successful business and want to invest your profits to build wealth that doesn’t depend on you, get ready for Codie to blow open a whole new world of possibilities.

You know that saying, “turn your mess into your message?” Today’s guest took that literally and turned a series of unfortunate events (a cheating husband, divorce, and then epic heartbreak when her next whirlwind romance dumped her right before a romantic month-long trip to Europe)... into a solo international trip and best-selling book, Eat Pray #FML. Gabrielle Stone is no stranger to the spotlight, growing up with her legendary scream-queen mom, Dee Wallace (best known for playing Mary Taylor, the mom in Spielberg’s blockbuster film, E.T.) Gabrielle herself spent many years in the industry as well, acting, writing and directing. Writing a nonfiction book about her own life though, was a foreign frontier. In today’s case study, Gabrielle walks us through her exact viral TikTok strategy (where she started with zero followers) that allowed her to reach more than 100M people and sell hundreds of thousands of copies of her self-published book. She also shares her hot take on why self-publishing is infinitely more lucrative for authors. Even if you’re not an author, you’ll want to borrow Gabrielle’s smart approach to short-form video content to create a legion of raving fans and sell more of your product, service or offer.

If you’re a longtime listener, you know getting in front of borrowed traffic is our favorite audience growth strategy, and today’s case study on hosting roundtables affirms why. Women’s leadership expert and founder of Safi Media, Eleanor Beaton, has successfully hosted 14 roundtables since Q4 2021, inviting aligned speakers to join her for hot button conversations and growing her email list by 2655 highly vetted subscribers in the process. The roundtables may be free to attend, but they have collectively driven $884,000 in post-event sales from attendees. We ask Eleanor all the questions you want to know to replicate this strategy in your own business, from the logistics of promoting, inviting speakers, and facilitating roundtable conversations, to which roundtable topics drew the biggest crowds and how to best approach the post-event sales process without scaring your new leads away.

“Nothing brings in quality leads faster than a summit” >> that’s the thesis this week’s guest Marisa Corcoran will be defending in today’s case study (and we have a feeling we’ll all agree by the end of it). We thought thesis was a fitting word for a Harvard grad, just one of many impressive things about Marisa’s background. This former actor turned entrepreneur’s magic lies in creating intentional icons, whether through supporting creatives and coaches to craft their uncopyable message inside The Copy Confidence Society, or helping business owners create their own stage with The Signature Summit System to grow their community and build rockstar relationships. In today’s case study, Marisa takes us behind the process of hosting six seasons and counting of her own signature summit, The Copy Chat, which has grown her email list by 15,000+ opt-ins, generated more than $1M in revenue in her business, and raised more than $85K for charity.  Marisa’s confident you can do the same and grow your email list by 500-2000 leads in one week with this strategy, so here’s her tell-all to help you host your own virtual summit.Connect with Marisa:  Instagram: https://instagram.com/MToni  Website: MarisaCorcoran.com Facebook: The Copy Chat Facebook Group View the transcript for this episode at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lH0gBffnjub1iHVww6DTkORRZdCXq8iNzG-iwSFGwlg/edit?usp=sharing If you enjoyed today's episode, please: Leave a positive review or rating at www.ratethispodcast.com/cubicletoceo Sign up for our text notifications at ellenyin.com/superfan so you can be the first to know when a new case study has dropped!

As in, someone in your business who makes it rain money FOR you. Meet my industry-revolutionizing friend Veronica Romney, a Dream Team Architect who helps online entrepreneurs build their dream teams and train their rainmaking marketing leaders.
