5 Ways to Save Your Launch

Are you in the middle of a launch and it’s just not going as planned? Don’t panic — there are ways you can save your launch. Trust me, I’ve done it. Having launched for several years, I’ve learned many valuable lessons, and here, I’m sharing 5 selected strategies on how you can turn around your launch (and improve your next one!). 

If you want to dive deeper and hear ALL my tips and strategies on saving your launch, listen to the podcast episode here. 

Talk to people

This is something you ideally do before you go into a launch: Ask people what they want. Survey your audience. What is their biggest challenge? Once you know, you understand how to speak to them and which products to create. 

If you’re in a launch and you don’t know what’s going on in your ideal client’s head, figure it out as soon as possible. Reach out and talk to them — via email, Instagram, Messenger, whatever fits you and your audience. Your number one priority should be to understand what’s holding them back. 

Let your bonuses answer objections

Get clear on the objections of your ideal client and then introduce bonuses in the middle of your launch that address these objections. Objections are opportunities for you to create bonuses that offer your audience help with what keeps them from joining your program. 

Let past and current clients share their success stories

Ideally, have a database ready with success stories of your clients you can share during the launch. Make sure to include stories of people with different backgrounds. They will resonate with a broader spectrum of people. 

You can also ask your existing clients to share their experience live in your launch Facebook group. Past or existing clients can be really helpful in your launch — when they share their experience, people who are interested in buying your program see what’s possible for them, too. 

Ask people who just joined to share why they joined

If a lot of people haven’t made up their mind yet and they don’t see any action in your group, they might assume no one is buying. Do live interviews with people who just joined your program and ask them why they joined. If you let people share why they bought and what made them sign up, it helps others make the decision. 

Celebrate new clients by tagging them on a welcome post. Showing that people are joining your program boosts conversion. 

Offer discovery calls

Discovery calls aren’t free breakthrough sessions. They’re for people who are still on the fence and need confirmation that this is the right program for them. It’s not about pressuring them, it’s about assessing if they’re a good fit. Introduce these calls towards the end of open cart to give people who are interested a chance to ask their questions and answer their doubts. 

There are many ways you can save a launch that isn’t going your way. For more tips, listen to the episode below.

81% of podcast listeners investigate the host’s products or recommendations with intent to purchase. That’s more influential than any other medium has ever been!

On top of that, podcasting is still an untapped arena. There aren’t as many people podcasting as there are on other channels. Which means there is less much competition. Right now, there are 2.5 million live podcasts worldwide.  And, only around 800,000 of those are consistently contributed to and are of good quality. This in comparison with the 37 million YouTube channels is HUGE!

In this episode of The Sigrun Show podcast queen Anna Parker-Naples and I talk about all things podcasting. She shares her tips and tricks to help you increase your impact, get visible within your niche, amplify your message, and generate more quality leads.

Anna also tells us her inspirational story of how she picked herself up from rock bottom and made the conscious choice to be successful.

Do you want to work with me? 

I’m looking for action-taking entrepreneurs who are serious about making sales in 2021.

Have you ever received one of those connection requests on LinkedIn from a person who obviously has no idea what your business is about?

I have, many times. 

Growing your connections on LinkedIn can really pay off, but your success lies in how you go about doing it. And Natalia Wiechowski, LinkedIn strategist, knows exactly how to avoid making mistakes.  

I came across Natalia when I was scrolling through the podcast charts looking for an interesting guest, and her name popped up. I immediately knew she has valuable information to share with you. 

Before Natalia became a LinkedIn strategist and personal branding expert, she was a doctor of philosophy and worked as a library manager in the United Arab Emirates, but soon moved into marketing. By the time she was 29, she realized that she was living an illusion. “I always thought I’ll be happy in my next job, without understanding what happiness really means to me.” She felt miserable, quit her job, went on a 9-month sabbatical and finally found her dream lifestyle and career. 

When Natalia was looking for a professional platform through which she could bring traffic to her blog, she discovered LinkedIn. Today, she is known as the LinkedIn marketing unicorn, was invited by Forbes to join their coaches council and has become a LinkedIn learning author, creating online courses for LinkedIn. 

So if you want to grow your audience on LinkedIn but don’t know how, this interview with Natalia is for you. 

On this episode of the Sigrun Show, she reveals the strategy behind growing your connections and the 5 steps to increase your following on LinkedIn, plus she talks about how she manages to run her business in two languages. 

If you want to learn how to approach a person you want to connect with on LinkedIn using the right message, this episode will help you.

“I needed a platform where people have a brain, where they want to learn and listen to me, not only look at pictures. LinkedIn was it.” - Natalia Wiechowski

What you will get out of this episode: 

• Natalia’s journey before she became a LinkedIn strategist and personal branding coach (6:14) 
• What attracts Natalia about the United Arab Emirates (7:58)
• How Natalia discovered LinkedIn for herself (10:32) 
• Why Natalia started focusing on personal branding (12:13)
• The 5 steps to grow your LinkedIn following (15:31)
• The difference between having a personal page and a company page on LinkedIn (19:40)
• How posting content consistently is key on LinkedIn (21:25)
• The strategy behind growing your connections (23:28)
• How to send out the right message when reaching out (26:08)
• How Natalia makes her business work in two languages (28:25)

Be honest. Doesn’t adding an extra revenue stream to your business sound nice, especially in times like these?  

Jessica Lorimer can help with that. 

She had a successful corporate career, being one of the industry’s highest performing sales people, until she was diagnosed with a chronic illness. Her doctor told her she either had to dial back on her working hours or be in a wheelchair by the time she turned 35. 

Jessica took this as an opportunity to create her own business, and today is responsible for the huge success of entrepreneurs selling their services to corporate organisations across the globe, adding corporate revenue to their businesses. As Jessica says, “If you want to generate the cash flow to help your online business take off, get a corporate revenue stream. The average UK corporate sale is worth £10K, the average B2C sale is worth £1’500. You can work less hard to generate 5 times the amount.”  

If you feel more than ever that your business could use an extra revenue stream, then this episode with Jessica is a must-listen. 

But adding a corporate revenue stream to your business isn’t only about making extra money - it also increases your credibility. Jessica says that even though books have become a huge credibility factor, nowadays everyone can write them. It’s different having a corporate revenue stream: “Only qualified people can add a corporate revenue stream because corporations are not going to buy from anybody they don’t believe in.”

On this episode of the Sigrun Show, you will hear all about how to create your own corporate revenue stream, plus an incredible story about one of Jessica’s clients who used to sell one-to-one services to women going through menopause and ended up selling to corporate clients instead. 

I hugely resonate with Jessica’s mission to make female business owners generate big impact and income, and appreciate her straightforwardness. 

So whether you want to generate more revenue, gain credibility or try out something that might be outside your comfort zone, this episode will help you.

“If you want to generate the cash flow to help your online business take off, get a corporate revenue stream.”

What you will get out of this episode: 

• Why Jessica had to leave her corporate career and created her own business (4:42) 
• How she pivoted her business and finally found her calling (6:50)
• Why online businesses should sell to corporate organisations at an early stage (9:59) 
• What having a corporate revenue stream can do for you (10:40)
• What you can sell to corporates (12:19)
• The three steps to create your own corporate revenue stream (13:34)
• How one of Jessica’s clients wasn’t happy with doing B2C, pivoted and had her first corporate client within six weeks and is now fully booked (21:15)
• Why corporates don’t care about your social media presence, and what they really care about (27:05)
• How corporates use LinkedIn as a professional networking platform, and you can, too (31:47)

Ready to create your own corporate revenue stream? I would love to hear how you plan to implement Jessica’s advice in your own business. You can follow and connect with me on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Here’s the truth: None of us have seen a global pandemic before. Some of us have gone through recessions and a few of us have turnaround experience. Personally, I've gone through two recessions that turned out to be great opportunities and was a successful turnaround CEO for a number of years.

It's become clearer what we need to do in terms of the Coronavirus - social distancing is the new way - and now the bigger challenge is the global recession where every individual and company will be impacted.

But the impact will be smaller the more you prepare and do now.

That’s why my team and I are here to help. We have put together the following resources to support you in these challenging times. Click here to view all the resources.

The Coronavirus has taken the world by storm, affecting millions of families and businesses. In these shaky economic times, many business owners have fears and uncertainty about what the future holds for their business, and are faced with making difficult decisions. How can we, as business owners, continue to thrive in an economic recession? What changes can we make to ensure our success and future-proof our business?

I share how I prepared my team for the changes I plan to make in my business and the steps we took to give my clients, community, and our team the confidence that we are here for them. I also discuss how to identify where you can save money and cut costs and the importance of evaluating your financial goals. I also share how pivoting your message or offerings can help you recession-proof your business.

“You have to be willing to make decisions without having all the information, because if you make the decision too late - you have lost too much.”

In This Episode of The Sigrun Show:

• The similarities between a recession and a company turnaround
• Why I made the bold decision to cancel the Self-Made Summit
• The importance of being decisive - even when you don’t have all the information
• Preparing your team for company changes during a recession
• Determining where to save money and cut costs to weather a recession

• Pivoting your offers  and reframing your message to ensure they are the perfect fit for your ideal client
• Overcoming your fear of selling your services during a recession

I also highlight how the looming recession and the viral outbreak can open up opportunities for entrepreneurs, especially for business consultants.

“A recession is a time of opportunity if you choose to see it that way. It gives you a chance to be proactive; the key is to make a decision before it’s too late.” - Sigrun
