00:00:34.329 --> 00:00:36.409
Welcome to TinyMarketing Podcast.

00:00:36.570 --> 00:00:38.089
I'm Sarah No L Block.

00:00:38.329 --> 00:00:42.489
This show is made for solo consultants who want to get booked out without burning out.

00:00:42.649 --> 00:00:46.729
If you've ever thought, I just want this to feel easier, you're not alone.

00:00:46.969 --> 00:00:54.969
Around here, we focus on simple, sustainable growth that actually fits into your life so growth feels doable instead of overwhelming.

00:00:56.090 --> 00:00:57.209
Hello, hello.

00:00:57.369 --> 00:01:02.329
I'm Sarah Nawablock, and today is a bonus episode for you.

00:01:02.729 --> 00:01:12.969
Because yesterday we had our consultant's mastermind, and a question came up that I've been seeing a lot lately.

00:01:13.129 --> 00:01:18.090
It's also come up inside my DMs inside of the Booked Out in Six program.

00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:31.689
And I wanted to address it, and I just so happened to have done a workshop called Pop-Up Offers, How to Validate Your Offer and Get Fast Cash.

00:01:32.170 --> 00:01:43.689
And in it, I just went on a little tangent where I talked about the offer structure and where lead magnets fall into that, and active lead generators and microoffers.

00:01:44.330 --> 00:01:49.449
And that really answers a question that so many of you have.

00:02:17.849 --> 00:02:20.490
So that is the goal of a lead magnet.

00:02:20.650 --> 00:02:22.409
One, you're getting cold leads.

00:02:22.650 --> 00:02:28.969
So it's super, super rare to be able to convert cold leads immediately.

00:02:29.210 --> 00:02:33.370
The goal of a lead magnet is to get people on your list so you can nurture them.

00:02:33.530 --> 00:02:35.849
So those are the people that you're sending emails to.

00:02:36.009 --> 00:02:39.449
Those are the people that you want to connect with on LinkedIn.

00:02:40.330 --> 00:02:43.689
So one, get that in your mind.

00:02:44.170 --> 00:02:47.530
Lead magnets bring in cold leads.

00:02:47.689 --> 00:02:51.050
They take time to nurture before they convert.

00:02:51.289 --> 00:02:57.210
I've had people on my list for years before they convert to a client when they come in cold.

00:02:57.530 --> 00:02:58.969
So there's that.

00:02:59.289 --> 00:03:07.210
And the second thing that I want to really emphasize about a lead magnet is you have to meet your prospects where they're at.

00:03:07.530 --> 00:03:16.490
That early in the process, in the sales process, all they're feeling are the symptoms of their challenge.

00:03:16.650 --> 00:03:20.409
They might not even know what problem is causing those symptoms.

00:03:20.490 --> 00:03:22.170
They just know how they feel.

00:03:22.409 --> 00:03:25.289
So your lead magnet should address that.

00:03:25.450 --> 00:03:32.250
It should help them understand their problem, and that is its sole job.

00:03:32.490 --> 00:03:41.370
From there, you're nurturing and you're moving them through the rest of the offer funnel based off of stages and problem awareness.

00:03:41.849 --> 00:03:44.650
So that is what this clip is about.

00:03:45.930 --> 00:03:54.569
If you want to watch the video because there's a little graphic that goes with it, go to YouTube or go to Spotify.

00:03:54.810 --> 00:04:00.569
And let me know in the comments wherever you're listening to this if you have any questions that came up from this.

00:04:00.810 --> 00:04:01.689
Thank you.

00:04:02.650 --> 00:04:04.170
So lead magnets.

00:04:04.250 --> 00:04:06.090
Where do lead magnets fit in?

00:04:06.330 --> 00:04:10.810
It brings in cold leads and it helps prospects understand their problem.

00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:17.370
So a lot of people they don't make lead magnets like that, but that is how you should be making lead magnets.

00:04:17.529 --> 00:04:21.529
It should help them understand their problem and it's a list builder.

00:04:21.769 --> 00:04:26.569
So these would be the coldest prospects coming in through lead magnets.

00:04:27.610 --> 00:04:30.810
Active lead generators bring in warm leads.

00:04:31.289 --> 00:04:34.170
Quick recap of what an active lead generator is.

00:04:34.490 --> 00:04:48.009
It is usually like a time-sensitive lead generator, like a workshop or a webinar or a challenge that needs to be completed in a set amount of time.

00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:52.409
So it should help prospects understand the solution to their problems.

00:04:52.569 --> 00:04:55.289
That's the purpose of an active lead generator.

00:04:55.609 --> 00:04:58.169
A micro offer brings in hot leads.

00:04:58.250 --> 00:05:01.689
So they are almost ready to work with you.

00:05:01.929 --> 00:05:04.250
And it should help them achieve one goal.

00:05:04.409 --> 00:05:08.329
So an example of a micro offer would be like this, like a paid workshop.

00:05:09.209 --> 00:05:12.089
A gateway offer brings in fire leads.

00:05:12.169 --> 00:05:13.609
They are ready to buy.

00:05:13.849 --> 00:05:16.489
And it helps them choose a path to the best solution.

00:05:16.649 --> 00:05:20.889
What offer would make the most sense from your service of offers?

00:05:21.609 --> 00:05:25.049
Now let's just insert pop-up offers here.

00:05:25.769 --> 00:05:29.689
Because it's something I invented after making many mistakes.

00:05:29.929 --> 00:05:36.969
So a pop-up offer validates your main offer idea, it provides quick cash and it does it fast.

00:05:37.609 --> 00:05:42.009
So this should happen before you develop the main offer.

00:05:42.729 --> 00:05:58.250
If you are considering adding on a new offer that would be longer term, do the pop-up offer first because this will save you a lot of time and money to validate if people actually want it.

00:05:59.129 --> 00:06:01.370
And then at the bottom, you have your main offer.

00:06:01.609 --> 00:06:07.370
This main offer solves the problem your ideal customer is going through.

00:06:07.529 --> 00:06:11.049
So it provides the desired transformation they need.

00:06:11.449 --> 00:06:17.209
And I recommend breaking it down into milestones so you have an easier selling path.

00:06:17.449 --> 00:06:24.089
Usually, when you sell the entire transformation, it's a little bit harder to sell all of that.

00:06:24.409 --> 00:06:31.929
So instead of that, I recommend you break it down into milestones so they're achieving one goal.

00:06:32.089 --> 00:06:33.849
You're closing that loop.

00:06:34.169 --> 00:06:37.769
And then accomplishing that one goal opens up a new loop.

00:06:38.009 --> 00:06:40.089
So then you have to sell that next one.

00:06:40.329 --> 00:06:46.569
So that's an easier way to sell if you're getting hit with objections on cost or time.

00:06:47.609 --> 00:06:49.609
Which I've I've seen a lot this year.

00:06:49.769 --> 00:06:55.849
If this episode made things feel a little more doable, I'd love to help you take the next step with the booked out blueprint.

00:06:55.929 --> 00:07:02.169
It's a practical, low pressure session to clarify your offers, your marketing, and what actually moves the needle.

00:07:02.329 --> 00:07:04.489
You can book yours through the link in the show notes.

00:07:04.569 --> 00:07:06.569
You don't have to figure it out alone.
