Important question for online entrepreneurs, course creators, coaches and the amazing copywriting folks who write for them….

What’s the biggest difference between a game-changing 6 or 7-figure product launch… and one that barely covers your Infusionsoft bill? 

If you guessed “funnel strategy”, you’d be wrong.

If you guessed “how much cash you dropped on your business coach” you’d still be wrong

And if you guessed …

… how many JV Partners you’ve locked down.

… how many FB ninjas you have dropping pixels on your prospects

… or how many masterminds, lucky mantras, or mailchimp contacts you have in your system…

You’d still be oh-so-terribly wrong.

Cause here’s the deal.

We’ve Reached an Execution Crisis.

You have more funnel and launch methods at your disposal than ever before.

… Survey funnels

… 3-part video funnels

… Evergreen webinar funnels

Heck, a quick inventory of the most popular programs that teach those methods shows no less than 10,000 students.

10,000 jacked up, “it’s my time”, course creators and online entrepreneurs just like you.

Yet how many super successful 6 and 7-figure product launches do you see coming out of them?

5? 10? 20?

Holy outliers batman.

And it’s NOT because those funnels or launch strategies are wrong or ineffective.

It’s just that they’re….

Incomplete.

You see…

While you jet set to San Diego, Austin or NYC for your latest Mastermind to play a silly game of “my funnel’s bigger than your funnel” with other entrepreneurs and course creators who always seem “on the verge of financial breakthrough” but never beyond it…

That funnel you like to brag about is missing its most important ingredient.

The copy.

Y’know, the words that are meant to magically fill those harrowing little email boxes on your funnel map.

Meaning that “magic funnel” or course launch that was supposed to be your entry ticket to

… scaled up profits that let you quit your day job

… hiring an actual team to do the things you hate

… enrolling more clients, creating more impact, and engineering more “holy sh*t I actually did it” marketing moments.

Simply. Never. Happen.

And I get it…

Writing emails sucks.

Or at least the way you’re used to doing it.

That’s why you put it off till the last second until you realize that those damn suckers won’t write themselves.

So you go into scramble mode.

Revving up your internal engines with a deadly concoction of binaural beats, bulletproof coffee and brain drugs with bad names, all in a fruitless attempt to fill your funnel with the words that will actually get your course or program into the hands of your best customers.

Only too soon find that the BP coffee’s run dry and you’re still standing face-to-face with a blank google doc and the prospect of another botched launch.

In a final herculean attempt, you blast “sympathy for the devil” through your Bose headphones and Skype-dial everyone you know to see if they know an amazing (and cheap) launch copywriter with immediate availability.

aka a unicorn.

aka something more rare and precious than the lovechild between Nessie and a Yeti.

And maybe you cash in on your good karma and manage to get an ace copywriter on the line.

Looks promising until you learn you’ll need to take out a reverse mortgage just to have them write the first paragraph of the first email.

So you push back your launch dates.

Inform your JV partners that you’ve run into some “unexpected blips”.

And crawl back into your entrepreneurial cave with your tail between your legs until the next “magical funnel” comes along and you start the process all over again.

Want to opt-out of the execution crisis?

5 Things You Gotta Understand RIght Now if you Wanna Survive the “ “Execution Crisis” and Have Record-Breaking Product Launches in 2017 and Beyond

1. Launch & Funnel Copy ≠ Regular Copy

Launch copy has far less to do with memorizing formulas, secret triggers or pushy persuasion tricks, and EVERYTHING to do with helping your prospects engineer a new reality where your product makes perfect sense.

We’re not so much “selling” your product as we are coaching the transformation between Point A and Point Buyer…

… and then using email copy as the means to activate the new beliefs, attitudes and re-shifts that move your prospect beyond the buying line and into your Teachable or Thinkific dashboard.

2. It’s meant to be written fast.

Funnels in 2017 are like rabid, insatiable teenagers with Costco-sized appetites for email copy.

The more buckets or segments you have, the more emails you’re gonna need.

The more upsells, downsells, or subsequences you have, the more sleepless nights you’ll spend cozying up to a google doc.

It’s not uncommon for your funnel to demand 15, 30 or even 60 emails.

So it goes with saying that you need to put a supersized emphasis on SPEED.

Cause as a coach, course creator, online entrepreneur, or even as a busy ass copywriter, you don’t have endless hours to labor over your Macbook Pro while throwing back 18 Starbucks refills.

Screw those Starbucks reward points.

Your copywriting needs to happen quickly.

But it also needs to perform like crazy.

Which means, you need to take a strategic, straight-line approach that maximizes your R.O.T. (Return on Time) while still producing stellar, predictable results.

You see…

You ain’t afraid of writing email copy…

You’re afraid of wasting what little time you have on doing it poorly.

You’re afraid of “getting it wrong”…

And worse…. wasting your time getting it wrong.

And that’s why you go for the presumably simple fix of hiring someone to do it for you.

Only to find that that your budget can afford maybe 0.5 emails…

Or the 3 week lead time you thought “should be good enough” doesn’t even crack a tenth of a good copywriter’s wait list.

So here’s where you swallow the pill, and finally accept that…

3. It’s meant to be written by you

Simply put, if you’re responsible for generating revenue in your business, you’re responsible for taking ownership over writing your launch copy.

And fast.

The process isn’t supposed to suck.

Writing launch copy, and launch emails in particular can and should be one of the most rewarding and exciting tasks in your business.

Heck, it’s the most intimate thing you can do with your audience with your pants still on.

And if you’re still not taking FULL ownership of this critical, 1K/hour task, you’re essentially straight jacketing your business and deferring responsibility to a member of the only remaining profession where it’s still cool to drink before noon. 

Sure, at some point there may be a time where you’re in a position to bring in a talented copywriter to help shoulder the load.

But if you haven’t even achieved minimum viable mastery over the craft, how will you know if what you’re getting is even good?

How will you know you didn’t just spend 15K on a flaming piece of sh*t that couldn’t sell a 20 year single malt to Don Draper?

So ya..

Deep breaths.

I know it’s not what you wanted to hear.

But here’s why it ain’t so bad for you…

4. You don’t need to have studied direct response for 10 years

Cause here’s the truth – you don’t have time to hone your skills for years before getting results.

You’re launching products and funnels right now.

You can’t treat copywriting as some isolated skill that you only get to drag into your funnel or product launch later.

You need to cultivate your copy chops as an integrated part of your launches and funnels.

Not an isolated one.

So we’re not going to ask you to wake up at 5am every morning for the next 60 days to sketch out old sales letters by hand or read a 300 page tome from some guy who died 50 years ago.

You don’t need overarching mastery

You don’t need to earn an ugly mug that says “world’s best copywriter”

Hell… if you want the mug that badly, I’ll just give you mine.

But what you DO need is to gain OUTCOME BASED MASTERY over the most critical skill-set for selling more programs, automating your profits, and putting this whole online business thing on rapid scale up mode.

And you need to do it all without deviating too far away from your natural talents or “zone of genius”.

That’s why…

5. You must leverage your existing talents as a coach or educator to engineer massively profitable product launches.

Ever wonder why some of the world’s most legendary copywriters and marketers (think Robert Collier, Maxwell Martz, and Napoleon Hill) were also personal growth badasses (aka coaches)?

Here’s why:

Copywriting has nothing to do with wordsmithing, magical phrases, or “secret” trigger words that I’ll only tell you if you buy “copywriting guru secrets for dumb people” by 11:59 pm tonight.

Copywriting is nothing but the art of recognizing WHO your prospect must become by the end of the funnel…

… and then strategically coaching the behaviors, actions, attitudes, beliefs and reframes to help them become that perfect buyer with as little friction as possible.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.

The truth is…

A skilled coach or educator will ALWAYS stand a better chance at getting a conversion than a skeezy salesman.

As long as you know how to properly leverage those skills of yours.

The Most Profitable Question You’ll Ever Ask

Ever stop to wonder why a skilled coach or consultant can boast a 20-50% conversion rate on enrollment calls while online marketing sputters out at 2-5%?

What is it about that special dynamic that is 10X more effective than what most online entrepreneurs and course creators so readily accept?

And more importantly (and lucratively)…

How can we start bridging that 10X gap at scale? .

The Coaching the Conversion Method™

That’s the biggest question I had circling around my grey matter as I was developing the Coaching The Conversion Method™.

Traditional tactics like countdown timers, and superficial urgency have taken us to the point where we can get *decent* conversions….

(albeit at the expense of alienating our audience and feeling like total assholes)

But what if we saw ourselves NOT as marketers that had to scare our prospects into the final sale…

But as conversion coaches or profit engineers tasked with creating a new reality, a new set of beliefs, and a series of micro-actions that made buying your product feel like a natural next step?

What if we treated a “sale” not as an isolated thing that occurs in a silo..

But as the predictable end point once you’ve effectively coached the transformation between Point A and Point Buyer?

And what if…

As a coach, consultant or educator, you were ALREADY equipped with the prerequisite skills for leading your prospect down that path?

Coaching The Conversion™ is a COMPLETE, step-by-step system for:

1. Amplifying the conversion potential of ANY funnel or system you’re currently using.
2. Knowing exactly what type of message to send at what stage of your funnel to guide your prospect along the buyer’s journey… meaning, no more staring at your macbook screen wondering “what the hell am I’m s’posed to write here”
3. Going beyond the need for superficial scarcity tricks and “OMG we’re closing in 10 minutes” urgency tactics… and instead, naturally and ethically coaching your prospects into enthusiastic, “take my money now” buyers.
4. Leveraging your existing skills as a coach or educator so that you don’t have to shoehorn yourself into a role that never quite felt right.
5. Executing your evergreen funnels and product launches with more speed, clarity, and profit

Cause here’s the thing…

You don’t want to feel powerless over the most critical and profitable function of your business.

You literally can’t afford to.

But you also can’t afford to labor for hours in front of the screen while the rest of your business goes neglected.

Or worse… send bad launch emails that repel customers instead of attract them. 

Now, you no longer have to.

You’re Ready to 10x Your ROI within 30 days if…

1. You’re an established coach, course creator or online entrepreneur with an ACTIVE evergreen funnel. 

Congrats, I’m sure you worked your butt off to get that bad boy up and running.

This is the “no brainer”.

If you already have a funnel that’s bringing in leads, converting some while letting others drop off like lemmings to the slaughter, then plugging in just a single themeplate from Module 7 could literally 10X your investment within minutes.

Yes. Minutes.

Seriously. What are you still doing here?

Get your login details, jump into Module 7, and drop us a line to let us know how many more team members you’ll be hiring at the end of the month.

2. You’re a badass launch copywriter (or you want to be one).

Writing for launches and funnels is one of the fastest growing and most profitable niches.

Why?

Cause your market is literally being created for you.

Don’t believe me?

Do a facebook group search for anything involving “launch”, “funnel”, or “webinar”…

A quick glance at the private groups for the most popular training programs on those topics will reveal about 10K students actively trying to hit “play” on their funnel.

That’s 10K potential clients who are either bottlenecked (or soon will be) by launch copy.

Sure this program is about empowering them to clear that bottleneck themselves… and that’s still our first recommendation.

But there will always be a part of the market that can’t afford to write their own — but CAN afford to pay you the big bucks to do it for them.

And armed with the 10x Launches framework and 20+ Themeplates, you’ll have the tools needed to approach your work with more confidence, get stellar results in less time, and cash in on the value you’re able to provide.

3. You’re actively building an online course or program.

OK, I know this sucks.

You’re probably working your butt off getting your program to the point where it’s ready to bring to the market.

In a perfect world, you’ll be able to just throw it out there and watch the paypal notifications roll in.

In a lesser (but still ideal world), that crazy funnel you just paid 5K to learn, would co
