How to MASTER Sales Funnels with Reelika Schulte
Takeaways:
- Reelika talks about how when she was growing up, everything belonged to the government. Entrepreneurship wasn’t really a popular option. She watched her parents start up a company and she saw how they worked on their own terms, and that it was a different mindset, different view of the world, and she knew that life was for her.
- She became an entrepreneur because her cubical job was making her feel so stuck. She knew that wasn’t her dream, so she acted on that feeling, and turned to entrepreneurship.
- If you’re looking to sell at a high price point, Reelika says to get people on the phone with you. You want to be able to answer those questions. If you’re selling a course, you can totally sell online.
- A landing page is so important. If you’re trying to drive traffic, you want to be sure people are coming to a place where everything is super straightforward. Reelika stresses how important a successful landing page is.
- “It’s okay to give away some really awesome content” You have to give away some key info so people have that ah-ha moment and then people will see you as an expert, and someone who can benefit from you. Don’t be afraid to give away too much!!
- There is so much power in saying NO. You can’t say yes and commit to everything. You need to be able to say no to things that don’t suit you.
- Client calls need to be a addressed like talking to a friend. It’s a conversation, but you shouldn’t be doing all the talking. Ask questions.
- You have to make people remember you. You can’t email once a month! Make people remember you.
- When you start booking calls, automate procedures. Ask questions ahead of time! This will really help people to show up. You can then decide if people are ready. If people feel like you know them, they will show up to their call. (GOLDEN TIP!)
