Episode notes
Start Marketing From Self-Clarity
- Do deep inner discovery on who you are: strengths, stories, personality, and psychological profile.
- Use those personal signals to identify who you'll magnetically attract and shape messaging accordingly.
Extract Real Signals From Your Clients
- Test how your book of business actually found and described you to reveal authentic signals.
- Then highlight those signals on your website and content so strangers can feel familiarity fast.
Prime Prospects Before Discovery
- Make prospects arrive to discovery meetings already familiar with you by exposing personal signals in pre-meeting content.
- Then ask fewer but deeper questions and let the prospect talk to build rapport and reduce anxiety.
