Episode notes
Collect More Cash Upfront To Self Liquidate Ads
- Increase upfront cash collected to self-liquidate acquisition costs.
- Fazio removed monthly payments and shifted to quarterly so average upfront cash doubled from ~$2,200 to ~$4,000, fixing cashflow vs. $2,200 CAC.
Sell New Opportunities Not Incremental Improvements
- Sell 'new opportunity' offers to larger TAM, not improvement offers to a small niche.
- Fazio advises marketing to those who haven't started (e.g., help business owners launch a podcast) because there are always more non-users than users.
Test Launch With Twelve Students For Case Studies
- Daniel tested Client Ascension with 12 initial students to build case studies before scaling.
- He expanded from one weekly call to multiple weekly calls as enrollment rose and used case studies to relaunch effectively.
