FILL YOUR PROGRAM “HAIL MARY” LIST Hail Mary (noun): a long forward pass in football thrown into or near the end zone in a last- ditch attempt to score as time runs out.
You have a group starting in a week? Here’s how to get high-quality participants: 1. Trade a spot in your group for something you need (easy to offer as a trade because it’s leveraged). 2. Bring in folks who work on your team (or may in the future) so they get to know your work. 3. Contact current and past clients and offer them a spot at full price or a discount based upon the investment they made with you in the past. 4. Offer your program as a bonus added on to other work you are doing with clients. 5. Send personal emails to folks you haven’t talked to recently letting them know, “Here’s what I’m doing now, let me know if you’d like to learn more about it.” And set up a strategy session. 6. Connect with folks that might want to offer your program to their team (ie: Multi-Level Marketer’s Down Lines/Teams, Corporate Teams or Associations) a. Offer to do a free training/teleclass for the members (a.k.a. your Speak-to-Sell Talk) b. Offer strategy sessions 7. Reach out to local organizations to get speaking gigs. You never know who will have a last min opening! (Refer to the 7 Steps to Getting Gigs with Stand Out Emails) 8. Invite key people in your life that sharing your work may lead to referrals and partnerships. (i.e. Mentors past or current, JV or affiliate partners, strategic partners, etc) 9. Members of Sassy – JV, Affiliate or gift
FINAL THOUGHT: If you do discount or gift somebody into your program make sure you communicate the value of your gift and set boundaries to ensure they play full out. “There will be people in this group that have paid a significant amount to be there and they will be playing full out. I need your commitment that you will do the same by showing up for all the calls and doing the work.”
