Have you ever noticed that in really good movies the good guy and the bad guy always want the same thing?
Someone’s affection.
A shiny trophy.
A better tomorrow.
In a galaxy not so far far away, the same is true in business.
You and your big bad nemesis – your competitor – trade crunching body blows with roundhouse ads and uppercut blog posts and jab like tweets and haymaker ‘definitive’ guides for the same prize.
It’s as simple and brutally Rockyesque as that.
Some days you’re on top of the world.
Some days you’re scrambling to get up off the ropes.
Others you just stand there huffing and puffing while a chicken races around your feet.
But the thing is, without the fight, no one would be in the fight.
Because without conflict and drama and setbacks, winning wouldn’t feel much of anything at all.
And we all LOVE to win.
Think about that: we actually LOVE to win.
We don’t like winning.
We don’t think winning is just okay.
We LOVE to win, because winning isn't easy.
So the question I’m asking is this:
How do you stay on top?
How do you reach and resonate and keep reaching and keep resonating with your target audience in an ever over crowded market?
And if you dare to move up a division or two, what’s the secret magical gut-punching ingredient that gives your brand a shot at the title time and again?
Now let’s see that pioneering new customer conversion framework in action ..
It's called the Motivate, Persuade and Influence Workshop (or M·P·I Method™ for short).
Rather than relying on generic data or guesswork to determine buyer wants, unlock new sources of growth by understanding your buyer’s goals and how you can address them.
It's a done-with-you, Audience & Offer Masterclass with a content creation sprint.
In other words, I'll personally work with you to implement a hyper-focused, lean version of our M·P·I Customer Conversion Framework.
This is in the trenches, where the rubber meets the road, get stuff done work, connecting the dots from beginning to end to pull your prospects forward step by step.
All these insights will help you create a rich profile of your customer so you can master your content calendar and know what to publish on your website, emails, sales presentations and Ads in order to get the highest return on your time and effort.
- If you publish regularly on your blog or social media — it's the best strategy where ALL your time and effort becomes the most profitable.
- If you pay for advertising — it's the most important part of the equation to ensure you get your investment back to build your brand bigger and faster than ever.
- If you struggle to compete in a crowded market — it's the one secret method that puts clear blue ocean between you and your competitors.
“The idea is that when you do this, you’ll get to the point where the advertising itself is profitable … and you’re essentially getting paid to build your brand.”
But you can’t do it without the right digital marketing strategy.
The workshop schedule
Step 1. Why are your potential customers so indecisive? What are the hidden barriers that keep them from adopting it?
“It’s too expensive.” “There’s too much going on right now.” “It's just too complicated.” “We’re happy the way things are.”
People are naturally wary of making a big decision. Of picking up the phone. Subscribing. And parting with their cash. But this is one area where you have to be perfect.

Step 3. What’s the secret gut-punching ingredient that delivers the most important opportunities, benefits, or outcomes that your customers want most?

Get more people to say yes by aligning your solutions to customer problems that deliver the outcomes they desire most.
Step 4. If your headline fails, marketing fails. The world is waiting for your message. But will they hear it?
If your headline doesn’t pull a prospect to become a reader of the content, then it has failed you and your potential customer.
Not only will your promotion falter, but the remainder of your ad, brochure, web site, or article, will be rendered useless.
Stop your readers cold with “The Process/Mechanism Principle”. The surprising new approach to increase sales or sign ups. It's the magical lure that compels your best prospects to read further to gain the full, promised benefit.
Step 5. We’re all competing. But how do you compete with those who are better than you?
