Episode notes
DashThis Saved Eight Hours For A Venue
- For a wedding-venue client, Corey recommended DashThis to replace manual GA/ads reporting.
- The $42/month tool saved two hours weekly and reclaimed eight hours a month for the operations manager.
Price Assessments High To Improve Conversion
- Charge a meaningful price for assessments to increase perceived value and close upsells.
- Corey moved from free to $200, $500, and now $1,000 and found higher price increased client buy-in for follow-on projects.
Pick One Upsell And Productize It
- Productize one core upsell (e.g., process optimization or automations) and sell it repeatedly.
- Typical upsells: $3–5k process redesign, $1–3k Zapier/make.com builds, or custom GPT knowledge systems.
