What if growing your business didn’t require posting on social media every day?
In this conversation, I sit down with Chris Gilmour from ChrisOutdoors.ca to break down the real numbers behind a relationship-based marketing strategy that is quietly outperforming most online marketing tactics.
Instead of chasing algorithms, Chris has been focusing on Signature Workshops, partnerships, and strategic outreach.
And the results speak for themselves.
Since the beginning of this year alone:
• 26 outreach emails sent
• 6 Signature Workshops booked
• 6 more workshops in conversation
• 3 licensing deals being explored
• Nearly 2,000 new email subscribers added since January
• $6,500 generated from the first 2.5 workshops delivered
But that’s only part of the story.
Last year Chris delivered around 8 Signature Workshops and hosted multiple webinars with partners that brought in 3,000 to 5,000 attendees each.
Those collaborations helped grow his email list by nearly 10,000 subscribers and produced multiple five-figure webinars.
In this episode we break down exactly how this strategy works, including:
• How to book Signature Workshops through outreach
• Why relationship marketing outperforms social media marketing
• How partnerships can grow your email list faster than ads
• The outreach strategy Chris used to book workshops
• How to identify partnership opportunities in your niche
• The difference between transactional marketing and ecosystem building
• Why most entrepreneurs pivot too soon instead of refining what works
If you are a coach, course creator, educator, consultant, or transformation facilitator, this conversation will show you a powerful way to grow your audience, revenue, and partnerships without depending on social media algorithms.
This is the exact marketing strategy I’ve been teaching inside Majik Media for years, and it continues to produce real results for the people who implement it.
