Hey beauties, I'm Sarah Noel Block, and this is Tiny Marketing, Episode 161.

00:00:33.679 --> 00:00:37.520
Today I have a very special guest, Lori Young.

00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:44.640
She is an offer expert and she's going to explain all about her mini offers.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:56.479
And we'll get into so I have micro offers, I have gateway offers, and then I have main offers in my spectrum of offers.

00:00:56.799 --> 00:01:01.600
And she gets into mini offers, which kind of sits in the middle of all of that.

00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:07.920
And during this conversation, we'll explain when you present which type of offer.

00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:16.640
It really depends on how warm you are with that prospect and how aware the prospect is of their challenge.

00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:20.959
Some people will come to you and they'll just know I'm in pain.

00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:25.200
Like this thing is really irritating me.

00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:26.959
It's causing me trouble.

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:34.799
Well, other people will come to you and they will understand beyond the pain, like this is how I'm feeling.

00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:37.760
Like I'm feeling burnt out and I don't know why.

00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:40.319
That's the first level of client.

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.840
But then other people will come more aware.

00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:49.680
So you'll get people that are like, I'm burnt out and this is what's causing it.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:59.040
And then you're going to be presenting, like when they are aware of their problem and not just symptom aware, you'll present a different type of offer.

00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:16.639
So I don't know if I explain that in a way that makes any sense to anyone outside of my brain right now, but hopefully I did because this is my fourth attempt at introducing what I'm trying to say.

00:02:17.199 --> 00:02:23.759
So I'm gonna let you, I'm gonna let you guys use your brains and really work through what I was trying to say right there.

00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:30.240
Um, so that conversation is going to happen in just one second.

00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:42.159
But before I play that, I want to tell you about a free offer that I have coming up on November 10th.

00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:45.439
It is a consultant's mastermind.

00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:47.680
So there's no charge.

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:51.280
You can just sign up with the link that's in the show notes.

00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:58.080
And what it'll be is it's just opening up a room of experts, consultants.

00:02:58.319 --> 00:03:03.759
You're gonna come with your challenges and we're going to work through them one by one.

00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.639
So I will not be the only expert in the room.

00:03:06.879 --> 00:03:08.639
We're all experts in that room.

00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:16.400
So we can all work together to solve each other's challenges and just have other brains to bounce ideas off of.

00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:18.800
I think it'll be incredibly helpful.

00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:32.319
I've been a part of conversations like this, and I've found them just lovely in that I get to build relationships with new people, but also we're all really freaking smart.

00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:38.800
We're all really good at what we do, but not we're not necessarily good at what you do.

00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:40.080
You know what I mean?

00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:45.199
So this room will allow us to tap into other people's expertise.

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:46.879
So I hope you can join me.

00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.439
I'm thinking about making this a monthly thing.

00:03:49.680 --> 00:03:50.400
Don't know yet.

00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.039
We'll see how this one goes on November 10th.

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:58.080
Not committing forever, unless uh, you know, it goes a well.

00:03:58.319 --> 00:04:00.319
People are are interested in it.

00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.479
So sign up for it in the show notes.

00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:09.199
It's gonna be a good time and incredibly valuable.

00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:13.199
So now into Lori's conversation.

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:15.680
Uh, the color scheme.

00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.120
All right, Lori, could you please introduce yourself to the audience?

00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:31.839
Yes, my name is uh Lori Young, and I call myself the offer magician or an offer ecosystem strategist.

00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:45.680
And what I do is I work with coaches and soulful entrepreneurs to help them transform their passion and their expertise into what I call aligned and profitable offer ecosystems.

00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:46.800
So that's what I do.

00:04:46.959 --> 00:05:02.639
We are working on the entire offer suite from freebie up to a premium service, offering everything from strategy, structuring offers, messaging for offers, and getting them sales ready.

00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:04.399
Not selling them.

00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.000
I'm not a sales strategist.

00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:12.639
I am not sales is probably my weakest link in business, but I can handle everything up to sales.

00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:18.160
You know, it's so many people's weakest link because we're good at what we do, right?

00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:19.360
We never had to sell.

00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:26.079
We were probably working corporate or getting corporals or working under an agency.

00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:28.639
Yeah, so we didn't have to learn how to sell.

00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.959
It's yeah, it's one of those things that you end up getting stuck with.

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:33.680
Yeah.

00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:44.000
It's been like my sole focus this year is just learning how to approach sales because I'm a very like heart-centered business owner.

00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:48.879
And so for me, pushy sales doesn't work, cold sales doesn't work.

00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:58.959
And one of the things I like about what you teach is just that getting into niche communities and building like relationships, and that's more my style.

00:05:59.120 --> 00:06:10.480
But even when I would get on sales calls, it was like I was so much like the strategist in the sales call, like pouring out information for them and helping them.

00:06:10.639 --> 00:06:11.839
It's okay, thank you.

00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:12.720
See you later.

00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:14.160
Yeah, I got what I need.

00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.360
I'm gonna walk away.

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:19.600
That is so many of us because that's our comfort stuff.

00:06:19.759 --> 00:06:23.439
Is like it is I could talk strategy all day long, sister.

00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:25.040
I know exactly.

00:06:25.199 --> 00:06:40.240
And I'm learning it's okay, take the strategy hat off, put your coaching hat on, ask the questions that need to be asked to draw out the information that you need, and then set them up for your solution.

00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:43.759
So that's what I'm working on right now from a sales standpoint.

00:06:43.920 --> 00:06:46.879
But yeah, that has nothing to do with no, I know.

00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.199
I mean, I think it does because we have to sell it.

00:06:49.439 --> 00:06:50.399
It actually does.

00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:50.959
Yes.

00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:53.680
Because, like we're today.

00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:57.360
So for everybody who's listening, let's get to what we're actually talking about today.

00:06:57.519 --> 00:06:59.600
We're talking about mini offers.

00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:05.519
But what you were talking about in that you put on your strategy hat and it's really hard to get into sales mode.

00:07:05.600 --> 00:07:05.680
Right.

00:07:05.920 --> 00:07:11.759
I always talk about gateway offers, which is how you avoid that, because that's all of our comfort zone.

00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:21.279
So when you have a gateway offer, all of that happens inside of a paid offer that you can then move into an upgrade.

00:07:21.439 --> 00:07:22.959
So it's just more natural.

00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:29.600
So when you're like as an offer strategist, I'm curious like how you define gateway offer.

00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:40.000
Because to me, there's so many terms out there that there's not a lot of offer strategists, but there's a lot of terms out there that are thrown around from high-ticket offer, mini offer.

00:07:40.079 --> 00:07:57.439
I know you use micro offer, gateway offer, bridge offer, like all of these just make fine so I really think a bridge offer is likely the closest thing to a gateway offer because what you're doing is you're first, this is particularly the way I teach it, is for B2B.

00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:03.120
So the first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna bring all the stakeholders in and you're gonna interview them.

00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:08.800
So you can use their exact wording and you're taking their insights to build out a solution.

00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:16.240
You do that, and then you walk away and you build that strategy that normally you would just give for free on a call, but it's documented.

00:08:16.319 --> 00:08:18.959
So they have a roadmap on how to solve that problem.

00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:23.600
And then in the review session, you talk about what it looks like to move forward.

00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:25.199
What does execution look like?

00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:27.920
Maybe it is your team doing it internally.

00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:30.319
It's a standalone offer that can be.

00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.879
But oftentimes they're like, no, I want you to do it.

00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:34.720
You built the strategy.

00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:45.360
So it's an easy way to move through it and eliminate a lot of those hiccups that happen when you have to sell to a committee rather than one person.

00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:46.799
Okay, got it.

00:08:46.960 --> 00:09:04.000
So yeah, I would I look at I guess my offer power plan is like a gateway offer, then if you describe it that way, because it's a 90-minute strategy session, and then I hand off a 30-day roadmap until like they're on their own uh at that point.

00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:11.440
But oftentimes we do need to help with that 30-day roadmap piece of it or any one piece of the of it.

00:09:11.600 --> 00:09:18.240
And 90 minutes of strategy is not a lot when you're building out a whole offer ecosystem.

00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:26.960
So no, that would get you that would get you enough information to be able to give them exactly what you said, a roadmap.

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:32.799
This is a blueprint of what you would need, yes, but it's not the whole thing, exactly.

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:43.440
But yeah, so if you were to just tack on a review session at the end of that roadmap, then that would be a gateway offer because you can move them towards whatever offer would make.

00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:44.240
Got it, got it.

00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:45.519
Okay, that makes sense.

00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:46.080
Makes sense.

00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.399
So let's talk mini offers.

00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:49.519
What are they?

00:09:50.159 --> 00:10:08.879
So mini offers to me are lower, lower price point, not like low, like 27, 37, 47, not like that type, but a mini offer to me is somewhere like in the 500 to a thousand dollar range.

00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:18.080
It is a lower commitment offer that helps to get your clients a quick win.

00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:27.279
It helps them to build trust with you, it helps them enter into your uh deeper services.

00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:32.879
That's how I describe a mini offer based on what we have talked about.

00:10:33.840 --> 00:10:41.840
I think it's something that's anywhere from usually like a four to six-week type commitment.

00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:48.480
It's not a longer like three-month, six-month, one-year type commitment.

00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:50.399
That's definitely not a mini offer.

00:10:50.480 --> 00:11:16.399
I think it's something that allows you to work with your clients on a smaller commitment basis, a lower level investment basis, but it still gives them the win that they need to say, yes, like this is what I needed to gain momentum, to start building trust with you, to start experiencing what it would be like to work with you.

00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:29.039
And so ultimately, I the mini offer should lead into your if your offer ecosystem is set up properly, it should lead into your higher ticket services.

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:30.879
Okay, that makes sense.

00:11:31.679 --> 00:11:34.320
So uh I Is that how you look at a mini offer?

00:11:35.279 --> 00:11:38.240
The micro offer that you were talking about, that one.

00:11:38.399 --> 00:11:38.720
Uh-huh.

00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:40.799
No, those would be lower.

00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:47.279
So uh for me, the micro offers Well, not the micro, but I'm saying like the way I describe the mini offer.

00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:48.799
Is that the way you make sense to me?

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:51.360
I don't have them, but they make sense to me.

00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:51.919
Okay.

00:11:52.159 --> 00:11:56.559
And I have in the form that they usually last about four to six weeks.

00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:06.480
Now I picture that in more of a scalable offer like a sprint or a short cohort, something like that.

00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.799
Can you describe some examples of maybe how your clients have done them?

00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:11.600
Yeah.

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:24.879
So I had one client that did literally, she was a leadership coach and she had three months uh no, yeah, three month, six month, and one year programs.

00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:34.399
And when I came in to help her, she was really struggling to sell from zero or cold up into a three-month offer.

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:38.639
Just the particular audience she was working with just struggle with that.

00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:44.080
And I said, you really need a one-month, like one month offer, right?

00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:55.120
Something that you can sell that is around the a thousand a thousand dollars or so that helps them like still experience and get good wins.

00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:58.000
It's not going to give them the whole thing.

00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:07.679
And she introduced and she, oh my gosh, she went kicking and screaming practically into I don't, I hate one-month offers, I hate that.

00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:10.320
And it's just just trust me, just try it.

00:13:10.559 --> 00:13:10.879
Okay.

00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:16.240
And so she introduced a one-month coaching offer, just four weeks.

00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:26.799
She worked with leaders on, I think it was she like a whole like leadership playbook where she worked on, and each there were several things within her whole leadership framework.

00:13:27.039 --> 00:13:28.879
And she just picked one.

00:13:29.039 --> 00:13:32.720
Uh and we just worked on, and she they just worked on that one.

00:13:32.960 --> 00:13:39.039
And it was exactly what was needed to convert clients into working with her.

00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.360
So that is one example.

00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:55.840
I think like I can even just say from my own from my own business, my offer mojo squad, which is a complete DYI AI suite of tools, that is a mini offer.

00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.399
It's like people can get definite wins out of that offer.

00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:11.279
Definite, like they can get a lot of my frameworks and, but they're not going to get the level of depth and strategy that I would bring to the table.

00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:24.639
But if they're what, if they're just starting out or they're just not ready for that deeper investment, that offer modro squad, that mini offer will help them get what they need to at least get momentum.

00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:25.679
Yeah.

00:14:26.399 --> 00:14:36.960
So your goal with the mini offer is to establish a relationship with them for one and get them that first win so they're ready for the bigger offer.

00:14:37.200 --> 00:14:38.559
Yes, absolutely.

00:14:38.720 --> 00:14:39.919
Yes, definitely.

00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:49.360
And I think mini offers, what I like about them too is they meet buyers at different, at different buyer stages, right?

00:14:49.519 --> 00:14:55.919
Not everybody is ready to invest immediately in your higher ticket programs.

00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:10.240
Like I personally, I know I might ruffle feathers by saying this, but I personally don't believe in the gurus out there that are teaching unroll people in immediately into a 10K offer.

00:15:10.399 --> 00:15:15.919
Build your 10K offer and get five clients to scale your business to 50 grand a month.

00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:17.759
They make it sound so simple.

00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:18.559
It is not.

00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.440
Anyone who's listening, I promise you, it is not.

00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:22.799
No, it's not.

00:15:22.960 --> 00:15:24.080
It's not at all.

00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:30.480
And but many offers even come before something like a 2500 or a 3K or a 5K offer.

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.639
It's it allows people to come in.

00:15:34.720 --> 00:15:38.159
And I feel like right now we have it, it's being said everywhere.

00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:43.279
We are in a trust recession, and we probably will remain in this trust recession for a while.

00:15:43.519 --> 00:15:53.360
AI is changing things, like just rapidly evolving business climate is changing things, and people have been burned by these big high-ticket programs.

00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:58.799
I know one person enrolled in a year-long high-ticket program.

00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:02.320
All she wanted to do was build out a group offer.

00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:09.440
And when she got into the program, it was like she was getting zero help.

00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:13.279
They would just say, go watch this video, go do that, go do this.

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:15.360
And she was very frustrated.

00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:19.919
So she paid this huge high-ticket right amount.

00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:25.759
And then when she tried to get out of it, they were like, We'll only give you 30% of your money back.

00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:35.679
So that kind of stuff is happening in the online space, which makes it difficult for people to say yes right away to those higher ticket offers.

00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:43.600
So I think the mini offer is just a way for people to say, okay, I'm gonna dip my toe in.

00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:45.200
I'm going to trust you.

00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.320
I think I can handle this level of investment.

00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:56.559
It's not gonna be like the end of the world if things don't work out, or it could be the start of something amazing.

00:16:56.879 --> 00:16:57.519
Yeah.

00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:12.480
So yeah, that's a really you hit uh, you hit a nerve there in that like it really bothers me when there are offers that like you cannot get out of.

00:17:12.720 --> 00:17:17.839
It's not realistic that for a full year your life is gonna remain static.

00:17:18.079 --> 00:17:30.720
Not really what if something terrible happened and you need to get out and these ironclad contracts with coaches, when you're like, I'm financially hurting, I need out, and they won't let you.

00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:31.839
That's disgusting.

00:17:32.160 --> 00:17:33.920
Yeah, it is, it really is.

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:35.440
So we're shy.

00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:36.640
We we hesitate.

00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:53.200
I and I think even myself, I can say for myself and other people that I've talked to, committing to something long-term, like even six months or one year, it's like we don't know who we're going to be.

00:17:53.519 --> 00:17:56.960
Or what are I always saying that I don't know who I'll be then?

00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:00.480
I know it's I don't know who I'm going to be six months from now.

00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.240
I don't know like what my goals are necessarily going to be.

00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:06.640
They change, like we evolve.

00:18:06.799 --> 00:18:13.519
Like we were having this conversation in a women's group the other day about, and the question was, who are you?

00:18:14.240 --> 00:18:15.119
Who are you?

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:23.119
And it's okay, I can answer who I am today, but I the question just kept coming back to my mind.

00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:24.880
It's not constant.

00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:25.920
Yeah.

00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:31.920
One year from today, I'm probably going to answer that question very differently.

00:18:32.720 --> 00:18:33.839
So with you.

00:18:34.319 --> 00:18:48.319
Yeah, that's why I personally I don't invest in like long-term, like six-month, one-year programs, and I don't even have my own six-month, one-year long program just because of the way I operate.

00:18:48.480 --> 00:19:04.240
But I think the mini offers, I just like them because you can solve a very specific problem for your clients that is really meaningful to them.

00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.599
And like we mentioned before, get that quick win.

00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:22.000
So I always say if we're talking about like how like to do those mini offers, if you look at what your core framework is for your higher ticket offer, like what is one piece of that?

00:19:22.240 --> 00:19:28.880
Can you like work with them on one piece of that core framework on a deep level?

00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:31.359
Yeah, I like that a lot.

00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:36.480
Because I'm also the same way in that I don't like long-term commitments.

00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:37.920
Six months is my max.

00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:41.119
I cannot the year ones, I'm like, that's a joke.

00:19:41.279 --> 00:19:42.400
No, I don't know.

00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:45.039
I don't know what I'll want or who I'll be in a year.

00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.440
Right.

00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:46.160
Exactly.

00:19:46.559 --> 00:19:48.160
I that's my limit.

00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:51.200
But yeah, that makes complete sense.

00:19:51.359 --> 00:19:54.960
So what is your highest longest commitment offer?

00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:56.240
I'm curious.

00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:07.920
Okay, so my I would say my highest longest commitment type offer is my offer mojo studio, which sits at 3,000.

00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:17.680
But the premium from up there would be like done-for-you built funnels or done for you like custom GPTs.

00:20:17.839 --> 00:20:22.079
So it's okay, we have all of your offer ecosystem like mapped out.

00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:24.720
We've I've helped you build a core offer.

00:20:24.799 --> 00:20:29.359
You've got the offer Mojo Squad to help build any off other offers you need.

00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:35.839
Now, what do you need now to bring that offer to market or that offer ecosystem to market?

00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:38.799
Oftentimes people need their funnels done.

00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:44.160
They don't know how to write the copy for funnels, they don't know how to design funnels, set up the tech for funnels.

00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:47.920
And then my newest thing is they're complicated.

00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:48.240
Yeah.

00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.200
They're not in the marketing space, isn't gonna know how to do that.

00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:51.599
Yeah.

00:20:51.759 --> 00:21:08.720
And then so that if they're investing in offer funnels or me helping them do a custom offer GPT of some sort, then that commitment's probably gonna be anywhere from two to three months, maybe.

00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:14.400
Yeah, depending upon how long it takes me and my team to get through that.

00:21:15.119 --> 00:21:16.079
That makes sense.

00:21:16.319 --> 00:21:16.559
Okay.

00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:18.880
So I'm gonna reiterate what I've heard.

00:21:19.119 --> 00:21:19.440
Okay.

00:21:19.759 --> 00:21:26.319
Think about your offers in one win at a time, getting them to one milestone, then moving them to the next.

00:21:26.640 --> 00:21:29.119
And they should be in reasonable containers.

00:21:29.279 --> 00:21:31.759
Like the mini offer is four to six weeks.

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:32.319
Yes.

00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:40.720
And you said eight to what, two to three, two to three months for a main offer is a good container.

00:21:40.960 --> 00:21:42.319
Yes, exactly.

00:21:42.559 --> 00:21:42.880
Yep.

00:21:43.200 --> 00:21:44.799
Eight to twelve weeks.

00:21:45.119 --> 00:21:45.440
Okay.

00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:47.039
Eight to twelve weeks.

00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:50.400
And then we have our mini at four to six weeks.

00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:57.920
And now let's talk a little bit about how to move people from that mini offer into your main offer.

00:21:58.319 --> 00:22:00.799
You just said that you use funnels.

00:22:00.960 --> 00:22:03.119
So is that your primary driver?

00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.599
Is like there's some automation to help move them through.

00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:24.240
Yes, of course, I have automations and funnels set up, but I personally, like in my business at least, I feel that the more relationship-driven marketing helps better.

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:29.759
Like, I feel like you need to be in that relationship.

00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:38.640
Like, for instance, three, I had three recent sales of my offer mojo squad, which is what I would consider a mini offer.

00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:47.039
I'm now checking in with those individuals, like personally checking in and saying, Hey, how's it going?

00:22:47.119 --> 00:22:49.519
Are you are you getting through the offer mojo squad?

00:22:49.599 --> 00:22:52.079
Like one person hasn't even started yet.

00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:55.839
And this is this is what can happen, especially if you're That's me.

00:22:56.000 --> 00:22:56.720
That's always me.

00:22:56.880 --> 00:22:58.640
I'm like, on my list.

00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:03.839
Which is a perfect case for why don't we like, why don't I help you?

00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:20.319
And so you're getting into conversations and like talking to people at the end, if you're doing it live, if you're doing it in person, obviously you can talk about okay, what might get in the way now of you following through with this?

00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:23.039
What's or what's next for you after this?

00:23:23.200 --> 00:23:24.960
After you, what are you what's your plans?

00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:36.160
And you can gauge, like, okay, do you feel like they're comfortable enough to to take this mini offer, get what they got from it, and run off and continue?

00:23:36.319 --> 00:23:39.440
Many people will be, some people will not.

00:23:39.759 --> 00:23:50.160
They need that next step of that hand holding with you, that accountability, that done with you energy or that done for you energy.

00:23:50.480 --> 00:23:59.359
And I personally feel being in a conversation with someone about what's next for them.

00:23:59.519 --> 00:24:08.720
After you complete the mini offer, then let's talk about what's next and how you're gonna get there and what kind of support you feel like you're going to need.

00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.240
And you can then move them down the pipeline.

00:24:12.559 --> 00:24:12.960
Yeah.

00:24:13.200 --> 00:24:23.119
So you're doing like a midpoint check-in to see where they're at, if they need your extra support or if they can do it on their own.

00:24:23.359 --> 00:24:23.599
Yeah.

00:24:23.680 --> 00:24:30.720
So I was working with a marketing strategist and she just wanted something like super, super simple.

00:24:30.880 --> 00:24:36.160
She was like focused on just launching, and she's, I just don't feel this offer.

00:24:36.240 --> 00:24:37.519
It's just not there.

00:24:38.079 --> 00:24:43.279
And we crafted, I think what's considered definitely a mini offer.

00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:48.559
She's working with the with someone, mapping out their 90-day plan.

00:24:48.720 --> 00:24:54.319
And at first it was just like, okay, we're going to map out your 90-day plan and then be done.

00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:58.559
No, we have to, you have to be in the mix with them.

00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:05.599
There needs to be checkpoints at month one and at month two or two weeks prior.

00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:10.559
So because your job then is to re-enroll.

00:25:10.799 --> 00:25:28.240
Re-enroll that person in a either new 90-day plan or maybe they tried to run their 90-day plan on their own after you gave it to them and they ran into all kinds of roadblocks and they didn't, they couldn't follow through.

00:25:28.400 --> 00:25:30.720
There was lack of consistency, whatever.

00:25:31.519 --> 00:25:31.839
Okay.

00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:39.039
So let's do the another 90 roadmap, but this time, let me implement for you.

00:25:39.200 --> 00:25:42.880
And so now you've moved them into a higher, higher ticket.

00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:49.920
So I definitely think there needs to be checkpoints whenever, depend to however your mini offer is structured.

00:25:50.079 --> 00:25:57.920
Even if your mini offer is a DYI, you can still check in with those clients as if they're that's what I did.

00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:06.079
I did personal reach outs to everybody and schedule two calls just from those personal reach outs of, hey, how's it going?

00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:12.480
I could take the approach of done a DYI offer, you're on your own, but yeah, you're done.

00:26:12.559 --> 00:26:13.839
You're doing it for you.

00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:27.119
That's not going to help to one, to get your clients the impact that they really want, but two, to give them an opportunity to work with you on a deeper level.

00:26:27.599 --> 00:26:28.000
Yeah.

00:26:28.319 --> 00:26:37.039
And on that point, if they don't get the win, they're not going to have the desire to work with you with on any other offers either.

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:39.839
So you're checking in it.

00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:50.079
Because if you don't ever, if you don't ever complete the offer mojo squad and get all the amazing results out of it, it's not gonna matter.

00:26:50.319 --> 00:27:01.119
But one client was like, okay, I've worked with a squad for several hours and I'm not exactly sure she said, but I'm getting stuck on tech and the sales page, and it's okay.

00:27:01.440 --> 00:27:07.039
So that's a time for me to step in and say, Let me handle that for you.

00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:08.559
Let me take that off your plate.

00:27:08.640 --> 00:27:13.440
You don't need to be worried about tech, writing sales page, designing a sales page, all of that.

00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:15.839
Let's handle that for you.

00:27:16.240 --> 00:27:21.759
Or if I get into a call and it's I haven't even started, I haven't even started this.

00:27:21.839 --> 00:27:24.000
Okay, it's now's an opportunity for me to coach.

00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:24.880
Like, why?

00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:26.400
What's getting in the way?

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:29.119
What's the cost of you not doing this?

00:27:29.279 --> 00:27:34.880
Would it be more helpful if I ran the squad for you and we worked in a strategy session?

00:27:35.039 --> 00:27:46.640
So there's ways to kind of uh upsell, but you do I do think to in today's society, you have to in business climate, you just have to keep checking in, you have to keep building those relationships.

00:27:46.880 --> 00:27:49.119
It's a partnership, it's long term.

00:27:49.839 --> 00:27:52.720
Yeah, that you're giving me so many ideas.

00:27:53.839 --> 00:28:01.680
Um, because inside the tiny marketing club, I recently started selling just like one mission at a time.

00:28:01.839 --> 00:28:04.640
So you just go into that one 30-day sprint.

00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:09.279
And so it's like your mini offer, which I hadn't really thought about it that way.

00:28:09.519 --> 00:28:20.319
But then I was like, like, I have a lot of check-ins along the way, but I can insert ones that would also help me gauge do they need another mission?

00:28:20.480 --> 00:28:25.119
Do they need to move on to from gateway offer mission to niche networker?

00:28:25.279 --> 00:28:25.599
Right.

00:28:25.759 --> 00:28:30.240
That's the perfect way to do it is figure out that conversation.

00:28:30.640 --> 00:28:31.200
Exactly.

00:28:31.359 --> 00:28:46.000
I've often even it's funny talking, talking about from one person to another person that knows offers like really well, like my offer mojo squad that keep people keep asking me, have you considered like just selling one GPT separately?

00:28:46.160 --> 00:28:48.799
And I said, yes and no.

00:28:49.039 --> 00:28:53.200
It's like it's a system, so it's like it gets you from here to here.

00:28:53.440 --> 00:29:10.000
And yes, I could sell you with Theo, who will handle your offer messaging, but if your foundation for your offers is not strong, if your ecosystem is scattered and like all over the place, like I feel like I'm doing a disservice.

00:29:10.640 --> 00:29:19.119
So anyway, I might down the road, I yeah, it's I like the way you talk about like how you release like one like mission at a time.

00:29:19.279 --> 00:29:20.319
It would be similar to me.

00:29:20.400 --> 00:29:22.079
It's like one GPT at a time.

00:29:22.160 --> 00:29:32.160
You're gonna start with your strategy, then you're gonna move into your ecosystem, then you're gonna start structuring an offer and then messaging and then visibility and like all of that.

00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:40.079
But and there's also something to be said for minimizing the overwhelm.

00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:58.000
I think that's another reason why I like many offers too, because people get we I think you and I know like marketing like so well and have been in it for years, and we're probably just talking over people's heads half the time.

00:29:58.319 --> 00:29:59.759
I have to stop.

00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.079
And make sure that I'm not doing that constantly.

00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:06.160
Cause yeah, I've been doing it for 20 years.

00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:07.200
I'm like, exactly.

00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:10.559
Am I talking like a marketer or am I talking like a human right now?

00:30:10.799 --> 00:30:11.359
Exactly.

00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:12.079
Exactly.

00:30:12.240 --> 00:30:22.559
And I think that's the problem too when a lot of people are structuring like their core offers, they overpack them.

00:30:22.720 --> 00:30:28.480
They're like trying to pack in so much, and it's creating overwhelm for people.

00:30:28.640 --> 00:30:40.240
They don't, they either don't finish, they start checking out, they get stuck, their things move like so much slower than we think.

00:30:40.480 --> 00:30:45.599
We think, like in my offer mojo studio, it's like eight weeks.

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.559
That's all I need.

00:30:46.720 --> 00:30:47.200
Eight weeks.

00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:54.880
I can help you craft your entire offer ecosystem, structure, message, everything, a core offer, and we're done.

00:30:55.119 --> 00:30:56.160
Eight weeks.

00:30:57.440 --> 00:30:58.240
Not always.

00:30:58.799 --> 00:30:59.039
Yeah.

00:30:59.279 --> 00:30:59.680
That way.

00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:01.359
It really does it.

00:31:01.680 --> 00:31:07.119
Like I know I can market it as an eight-week, we can do it, and people are attracted to that.

00:31:07.200 --> 00:31:07.839
Oh, eight weeks?

00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:09.519
Oh, it's only going to take eight weeks.

00:31:10.240 --> 00:31:22.480
I also know that we're going to get stuck when we start talking about audience, and we're going to get stuck when we're like looking at how we're going to structure it and what we're going to include and what we're not going to include.

00:31:22.720 --> 00:31:28.480
So mini offers are great because you can reduce that overwhelm.

00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:29.119
Yeah.

00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.359
I will sit in that for a second.

00:31:31.519 --> 00:31:31.680
Yeah.

00:31:32.079 --> 00:31:37.519
Because overwhelming your clients is so easy to do.

00:31:37.759 --> 00:31:38.079
Yes.

00:31:38.319 --> 00:31:44.400
And I know I've had people raise their hand and say, this is awesome, but it's too much.

00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:49.759
Like I need to be able to only see, don't let me see anything that I don't need to see right now.

00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:50.559
So I love that.

00:31:52.640 --> 00:31:55.680
So you're only seeing what you're working on in the moment.

00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:56.640
That's awesome.

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:57.920
That is so smart.

00:31:58.160 --> 00:31:58.799
So smart.

00:31:59.039 --> 00:32:02.000
Well, it wasn't me, it was me listening to the other day.

00:32:02.480 --> 00:32:03.759
I need to focus.

00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:05.200
Yeah, exactly.

00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:21.279
Yeah, I had a another leadership coach that I had worked with, and she had built this year-long container for business owners, and she included everything you could possibly imagine.

00:32:21.440 --> 00:32:29.359
Like tons of courses, like courses on everything that someone needs to know to grow their business.

00:32:29.519 --> 00:32:32.720
There were guest experts coming in every month.

00:32:32.880 --> 00:32:36.640
There's a live group coaching call, like every month.

00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:39.039
There was like all this stuff.

00:32:39.279 --> 00:32:45.039
And like about, I would say by month nine, she was completely burnt out.

00:32:45.359 --> 00:32:54.240
And she noticed that the only thing her clients really cared about was the masterminding that was going on during the month.

00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:58.480
The one mastermind call per month.

00:32:58.720 --> 00:33:03.839
All of that other stuff that she had created was like they didn't care.

00:33:04.079 --> 00:33:06.000
I love this point.

00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.640
Stripping down what you do, analyze your offers.

00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:11.119
Yes.

00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.839
And really look at what moves the needle for them.

00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.200
What do they care about and takes everything else away?

00:33:17.440 --> 00:33:24.720
We think that we're over-delivering in a positive way when we make our offer so robust, but we're just overwhelming.

00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:26.319
Yes, exactly.

00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:27.359
Exactly.

00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:28.240
Yeah.

00:33:28.640 --> 00:33:30.079
That's such a good point.

00:33:30.400 --> 00:33:30.720
Okay.

00:33:31.039 --> 00:33:36.720
Is there anything else that we should hit on before we wrap up on mini offers?

00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:48.240
Yeah, I think I think we we talked about examples of mini offers, meaning deep dive strategy sessions, maybe half day VIP sessions, four to six-week programs.

00:33:48.640 --> 00:33:56.799
Enough I I talked about my own, but let's not ignore that AI is here and AI is here to stay.

00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:14.480
So if you're an AI expert and you feel comfortable, like AI suites of tools can be great, mini offers, multi-day workshops, maybe three-day workshops where you're meeting 90 minutes like every every single day, gives them enough to keep going.

00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:17.440
So I think we've talked about all the examples.

00:34:20.159 --> 00:34:32.159
And we talked even about the crafting, the how to craft them, like starting from your signature framework and doing, like you said, like your tiny marketing club, where it's like step one is this, right?

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:52.480
And that is a mini offer in itself if you're just doing step one or giving a high-level overview of your core framework, but not delivering the how-to or like the done for you element or the any of that kind of stuff.

00:34:52.559 --> 00:34:59.679
Like they know it's uh eye-opening, they get what they need, but now they know I can't do this on my own.

00:35:00.000 --> 00:35:10.559
Yeah, I always think those are good for like workshops, webinars, lead magnets is giving that framework, like why it exists, why it works.

00:35:11.360 --> 00:35:17.119
And that is the perfect place to push people into that first mini offer.

00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:17.760
Yeah.

00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:19.039
Yeah, that's true.

00:35:19.199 --> 00:35:20.320
That's very true.

00:35:20.559 --> 00:35:23.679
So yeah, I think we've covered like a lot personally.

00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:25.119
Yeah, we nailed it.

00:35:25.360 --> 00:35:26.480
We're so good to this.

00:35:28.960 --> 00:35:29.440
All right.

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:34.719
Can you tell everyone how they can work with you, where they can find you, where you hang out online?

00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:35.679
Yes.

00:35:35.840 --> 00:35:39.920
Obviously, you can go to my website, onamissionbrands.com.

00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:47.440
I am on LinkedIn at Onamission Brands, which you can just also look up Laurie Young.

00:35:47.920 --> 00:35:51.360
I'm not picking out on Instagram as much anymore.

00:35:51.519 --> 00:35:56.400
Starting November will be not as much on Instagram threads.

00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:57.280
I love threads.

00:35:57.360 --> 00:36:00.800
You can come talk to me on threads about anything and everything.

00:36:00.960 --> 00:36:08.000
But I would say first step getting into my offer ecosystem, besides, oh, you can also listen to my podcast.

00:36:08.159 --> 00:36:14.960
I tell I'm always recording podcasts with people, and I'm like, I always forget to mention my own podcast.

00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:17.760
Yeah, this is the best place to get new listeners.

00:36:19.039 --> 00:36:23.840
I'm like, I don't know why, but anyway, my podcast is Offer Mojo Show.

00:36:24.079 --> 00:36:29.280
So you can go to any podcast platform and listen to any episodes.

00:36:29.519 --> 00:36:36.239
If you want to test your offer, I have an AI-powered offer confidence toolkit.

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:50.800
It's an AI-powered GPT that kind of runs you through a series of 10 questions that you want to ask about your offer to see what the strengths are with your offer, what the gaps are, and what your next steps should be.

00:36:50.960 --> 00:36:54.400
So that would be and you can find that on the homepage of my website.

00:36:54.719 --> 00:36:55.840
Okay, perfect.

00:36:55.920 --> 00:36:58.400
I'll make sure it's in the show notes too, so it's easy.

00:36:58.639 --> 00:37:04.639
Or you can do onamissionbrands.com slash offer dash checklist.

00:37:05.119 --> 00:37:07.679
You love all things tiny marketing.

00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:26.719
