Getting clients to approve creative work on the spot isn’t just a time saver.

One of the core tenets of the No BS Model is delivering projects in an intensive model.If you’ve worked the traditional way, you’re used to doing an entire brand and website over the course of three months, six months, sometimes over a year and the No BS Model gets that timeline down to just a couple of days.How do you possibly do this and still be effective, deliver high value, and have clients who are happy with a truly custom brand and website that they can be proud of?You have to cut one of the biggest pieces of BS from the traditional model: revisions.This month, I want to talk about the different ways the No BS Model almost entirely eliminates revisions and how we get clients to say yes on the spot to entire brands and websites.If you’re used to running your projects the traditional way, you’re probably pretty suspicious right now. But I promise you, it works, and I’m going to break down how we not only get clients to say yes, but to do it happily.In this episode, we focus on the first key: presenting your entire work live.Tune into this episode to hear:Three key concepts that you need to nail down to eliminate revisionsWhy you shouldn’t send work over emailHow to lead your client through the work live so that they say yesOne of the big reasons why clients come back with revisions, and how presenting live avoids itResources:No BS Blueprint to $30KNo BS Agencies MasteryThe Price to Freedom Calculator™No BS LaunchpadNo BS Agency Owners Free Facebook GroupStart reading the first chapter of my bookPiasilva.com

This month, I’m breaking down my No BS Blueprint to $30K — the process that I’ve developed over many years, and currently teach in my program, to scale your business to $30K-months without employees.In this episode, we’re talking about the third and last phase of the Blueprint, which is building your authority.Who doesn’t want to be seen as an authority in their field?Being seen as an authority and as an expert means that people believe you have a lot of value to offer to help them solve their problem. And when people believe you have high value to offer, they’re willing to pay you more.Having authority is one of the best ways to keep increasing your profitability without having to change anything about your business structure. Let’s dig into why this third and final phase is key to creating sustainable freedom and profitability in your business.Tune into this episode to hear:The three parts of AuthorityWhy you first and foremost need to learn to do the heavy lifting of communicating your ideas and perspective to a wider audienceWhy your content needs your voice, not ChatGPT’sHow to multiply your content to spread your ideas across different platforms and mediaWhy your email list is the best marketing you can doResources:No BS Blueprint to $30KNo BS Agencies MasteryThe Price to Freedom Calculator™No BS LaunchpadNo BS Agency Owners Free Facebook GroupStart reading the first chapter of my bookPiasilva.com

This month, I’m breaking down my No BS Blueprint to $30K — the process that I’ve developed over many years, and currently teach in my program, to scale your business to $30K-months without employees.In this episode, I’m giving you a deep dive into the second phase: Intensives.Most people who sell graphic design services, branding services, copywriting, or a combination of all of these, pitch the traditional model of having a project delivered in phases. This is how I used to do it, too.But with this method, there is an opportunity at every phase for the project to go off course. You spend most of your time project managing and comparatively little time doing the actual creative work.And that’s why I teach Intensives in the No BS Agency Model to $30K Months. Because Intensives get rid of 80-90% of the BS of project management so you can do the creative work that you actually got into this business to do.Tune into this episode to hear:Why the first step is reviewing your business model and how much you need to profit to sustain the life you wantWhy time constraints are great for your creative processThe difference between an art project and client workHow we turned the branding process upside down and why it works for us and our clientsBreaking down the client management process you need to run your intensivesResources:No BS Blueprint to $30KNo BS Agencies MasteryThe Price to Freedom Calculator™No BS LaunchpadNo BS Agency Owners Free Facebook GroupStart reading the first chapter of my bookPiasilva.com
