- 0:00Speaker 1: Most people who are struggling to get clients believe they
- 0:02Speaker 1: have a marketing problem. Whether you're running an agency, coaching
- 0:04Speaker 1: business owners, doing consulting, or offering any kind of service,
- 0:08Speaker 1: the instinct is always the same. You think you need
- 0:10Speaker 1: a better funnel, or better ad strategy, or more followers,
- 0:13Speaker 1: or a different niche. So you go looking for the
- 0:16Speaker 1: next tactic, the next hack, the next tool that promises
- 0:19Speaker 1: it's finally going to fix everything. But that search never ends,
- 0:21Speaker 1: because tactics aren't the problem. Let's be honest for a second.
- 0:24Speaker 1: You probably already know more than enough to get clients.
- 0:27Speaker 1: You've watched the videos, you've taken the courses, you've consumed
- 0:29Speaker 1: more marketing advice than most people will in a lifetime.
- 0:32Speaker 1: And yet, the clients still aren't showing up consistently. This
- 0:35Speaker 1: means you don't have a knowledge problem. You actually know
- 0:38Speaker 1: more than enough already. What's missing is clarity. You see,
- 0:41Speaker 1: there are really only three things a potential client needs
- 0:43Speaker 1: to understand before they'll hire you. Just three. And when
- 0:46Speaker 1: all three are crystal clear, getting clients stops being this
- 0:49Speaker 1: massive uphill battle. It starts feeling almost automatic. But when
- 0:52Speaker 1: even one of those three things is even just a
- 0:54Speaker 1: little bit fuzzy or unclear, everything breaks down. And the
- 0:57Speaker 1: worst part is, you won't know which one is the problem.
- 0:59Speaker 1: You'll just feel like, Marketing doesn't work for me. So
- 1:01Speaker 1: let me walk you through each one of these three
- 1:03Speaker 1: things now, starting with the who. Which is, who exactly
- 1:06Speaker 1: do you help? Now, I know you've heard this before.
- 1:08Speaker 1: Pick a niche, and your eyes probably just rolled into
- 1:10Speaker 1: the back of your head. But stay with me, because
- 1:12Speaker 1: this isn't the generic advice that you've been given a
- 1:14Speaker 1: thousand times before. Most people answer this question just way
- 1:17Speaker 1: too broadly. saying things like, I help businesses grow, or
- 1:20Speaker 1: I work with entrepreneurs, or I'm a marketing consultant. But
- 1:24Speaker 1: all of that is what I call marketing camouflage, because
- 1:26Speaker 1: it makes it impossible for a client to differentiate you
- 1:28Speaker 1: from pretty much anyone else out there. And when you
- 1:31Speaker 1: blend in like that, you just get ignored. Here's what
- 1:33Speaker 1: I mean. Imagine for a second you're at a dinner party,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and someone asks what you do. If you say, I
- 1:37Speaker 1: run a marketing agency, you'll get a polite nod, and
- 1:39Speaker 1: the conversation moves on. Nobody's going to remember that tomorrow.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Nobody's going to tell their friend about you or this
- 1:44Speaker 1: amazing marketing agency owner that they met at a party.
- 1:46Speaker 1: But if you say something more specific, say something like,
- 1:49Speaker 1: I help local service businesses get booked out three months
- 1:52Speaker 1: in advance without running ads, well, something completely different happens
- 1:55Speaker 1: because you've now painted a clear picture in their head.
- 1:58Speaker 1: So their brain immediately goes to someone they know. So
- 2:01Speaker 1: they say something like, oh, my friend runs a plumbing
- 2:03Speaker 1: company and he's always complaining about leave. You should talk
- 2:05Speaker 1: to them. That's what clarity does. It makes you referable
- 2:08Speaker 1: and referability is one of the most underrated client acquisition
- 2:11Speaker 1: tools there is. So here's what I want you to
- 2:13Speaker 1: build right now. I call this the clear offer formula
- 2:15Speaker 1: and it goes like this. I help X with Y
- 2:18Speaker 1: so they can see without W. So X is your
- 2:21Speaker 1: specific market. Y is the problem you solve. Z is
- 2:24Speaker 1: the outcome they actually want. And W is the thing
- 2:26Speaker 1: they hate doing or want to avoid. Let me give
- 2:28Speaker 1: you a couple of examples here though, to really help
- 2:30Speaker 1: drive this home. Here's what this might look like if
- 2:31Speaker 1: you're running an agency. I help chiropractors get 20 new
- 2:34Speaker 1: patients a month so they can fill their schedule without
- 2:37Speaker 1: spending more hours on social media. Or if you're a
- 2:39Speaker 1: business coach, it might look something like this. I help
- 2:41Speaker 1: online coaches package their expertise so they can sell premium
- 2:44Speaker 1: programs without doing free discovery calls all day. The key
- 2:47Speaker 1: to finding your unique angle is just to fill in
- 2:49Speaker 1: those four blank letters, X, Y, Z, and W. And
- 2:51Speaker 1: I mean actually fill them in, like write it down,
- 2:53Speaker 1: say it out loud, whatever you need to do. Because
- 2:56Speaker 1: this sentence is what makes you referable instead of forgettable.
- 2:58Speaker 1: And if you're not sure how to narrow down your market,
- 3:00Speaker 1: just ask yourself this. Who have I already helped get
- 3:03Speaker 1: a result? Well, that's your who for now. Start there,
- 3:06Speaker 1: don't overthink it. So now they know who you're for,
- 3:08Speaker 1: but that's not enough because even if someone hears your
- 3:11Speaker 1: who and thinks, hey, that's me, they still won't hire
- 3:14Speaker 1: you until they really feel the problem. So that brings
- 3:16Speaker 1: us to the second piece, the what. What problem do
- 3:19Speaker 1: you actually solve? And this is where things get interesting
- 3:21Speaker 1: because most people describe their services instead of describing the
- 3:24Speaker 1: problem they solve. But those are two very, very different things.
- 3:28Speaker 1: Here's what I mean. If you run an agency, you
- 3:30Speaker 1: might say, I build funnels and run Facebook ads. Or
- 3:33Speaker 1: if you're a consultant, it might be, I help with
- 3:35Speaker 1: business strategy and operations. So that's what you do. The
- 3:38Speaker 1: problem is the business owner sitting across from you doesn't
- 3:40Speaker 1: wake up in the morning thinking, I really need someone
- 3:42Speaker 1: to build me a funnel. They wake up thinking, Why
- 3:45Speaker 1: am I not getting any leads? I'm posting content, I'm
- 3:47Speaker 1: doing all the things, and the phone still isn't ringing.
- 3:50Speaker 1: That is the problem. They're still not getting any leads
- 3:52Speaker 1: despite feeling like they're doing everything right. And your service
- 3:55Speaker 1: is the solution to it. But they don't care about
- 3:57Speaker 1: your solution yet. They care about the pain that that
- 3:59Speaker 1: problem is creating. And here's the psychology behind why this
- 4:02Speaker 1: matters so much. Imagine I hand you $ 100. Feels pretty good, right? Well,
- 4:06Speaker 1: now imagine that you already have $ 100, but you're about
- 4:09Speaker 1: to lose it. a completely different feeling, way more intense. Dr.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Daniel Kahneman's research showed that people feel losses roughly twice
- 4:15Speaker 1: as intensely as equivalent gains. That is loss aversion, and
- 4:19Speaker 1: it's running in the background of every buying decision your
- 4:21Speaker 1: potential clients are making. So when you describe the problem
- 4:24Speaker 1: you solve, you're speaking to a much stronger motivational drive
- 4:27Speaker 1: than when you describe the service that you offer. This
- 4:29Speaker 1: isn't about being negative or being fear-based. This is about
- 4:32Speaker 1: being specific about the pain that you eliminate. So here's
- 4:35Speaker 1: a quick exercise. Dig whatever you normally say about your
- 4:38Speaker 1: business and rewrite it leading with the problem instead of
- 4:41Speaker 1: the service. Sounds a bit confusing, though, so let me
- 4:43Speaker 1: give you an example. Instead of saying, I build funnels
- 4:45Speaker 1: and run ads, try, I help gym owners who are
- 4:47Speaker 1: wasting money on ads that don't convert, figure out what's
- 4:49Speaker 1: actually broken and fix it. Or instead of, I do
- 4:53Speaker 1: business coaching, try, I help consultants who are stuck under
- 4:56Speaker 1: 10K a month, figure out why they can't break through
- 4:58Speaker 1: and build a system that gets them there. And you
- 4:59Speaker 1: can hear how different those sound, right? The first version
- 5:02Speaker 1: describes what you do, but the second version describes what
- 5:05Speaker 1: they're feeling. And the second version is what makes someone
- 5:08Speaker 1: actually lean forward and say, tell me more. Maybe not
- 5:10Speaker 1: my creepy voice though. So here's the test for your what.
- 5:13Speaker 1: When you describe what you do, does the other person
- 5:15Speaker 1: lean forward and say, how do you do that? Or
- 5:17Speaker 1: do they say, nice, and then start aggressively scanning the
- 5:20Speaker 1: room for more interesting people to talk to? If it's
- 5:22Speaker 1: the second one, you're describing your service, not the problem. Now,
- 5:25Speaker 1: the third piece is the one most people completely miss.
- 5:27Speaker 1: And honestly, this is the one that separates people who
- 5:29Speaker 1: get clients consistently from people who struggle endlessly, wondering what
- 5:33Speaker 1: they're doing wrong. This is the how. How do you
- 5:35Speaker 1: solve the problem differently than everyone else? Because here's the thing.
- 5:39Speaker 1: If you're running an agency, there are thousands of other agencies.
- 5:41Speaker 1: If you're coaching, there are even more coaches. If you're consulting,
- 5:44Speaker 1: same thing. Huge market, tons of competition. So when all
- 5:48Speaker 1: you say is, I help businesses get more clients, you're
- 5:50Speaker 1: placing yourself in a bucket with a million other people.
- 5:53Speaker 1: And the client's only option at that point is to
- 5:55Speaker 1: compare you on price, which is a race that you
- 5:57Speaker 1: never want to be in. But when you have a methodology,
- 5:59Speaker 1: a framework, a specific process that is yours, everything changes.
- 6:03Speaker 1: You stop being compared because there's nothing to compare you to.
- 6:06Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this from personal experience, because I
- 6:08Speaker 1: learned this the hard way. Over 10 years ago, when
- 6:10Speaker 1: I first started out, I was calling myself a digital
- 6:12Speaker 1: marketing consultant. I was telling people I help businesses with
- 6:15Speaker 1: their marketing, and I was getting absolutely nowhere. But I
- 6:18Speaker 1: was having a lot of conversations with business owners. And
- 6:20Speaker 1: when I finally started to actually pay attention to what
- 6:22Speaker 1: they were saying and what they actually wanted, I started
- 6:25Speaker 1: to notice something. At that time, what they actually wanted
- 6:27Speaker 1: help with wasn't general marketing. It was social media. And
- 6:30Speaker 1: when I dug a little deeper, it wasn't even all
- 6:32Speaker 1: of social media. It was Facebook specifically. And when I
- 6:35Speaker 1: dug even deeper than that, the thing that they really
- 6:37Speaker 1: wanted someone's help with was someone to run their Facebook ads. Now,
- 6:40Speaker 1: it took me a lot longer than I would like
- 6:42Speaker 1: to admit to finally see that. I was stubbornly hanging
- 6:44Speaker 1: on to my broad positioning because it felt like narrowing
- 6:47Speaker 1: down meant that I was going to be leaving money
- 6:48Speaker 1: on the table. But when I finally started listening to
- 6:50Speaker 1: people that were way smarter than me and took their advice,
- 6:53Speaker 1: I made the shift. First, from general marketing to social media,
- 6:56Speaker 1: then from social media to Facebook, and then from Facebook
- 6:59Speaker 1: to Facebook ads specifically. Let's slow this down, though, because
- 7:01Speaker 1: this is where most people miss it. When I was
- 7:03Speaker 1: a digital marketing consultant, I was barely scraping by, making
- 7:06Speaker 1: maybe $ 3, 000 or $ 4, 000 a month. But when I got
- 7:08Speaker 1: crystal clear on my who, my what, and my how,
- 7:11Speaker 1: and started positioning myself specifically as the person who runs
- 7:14Speaker 1: Facebook ads for businesses focused on getting more clients, that
- 7:17Speaker 1: same agency went to around $ 27, 000 a month within just
- 7:20Speaker 1: a few months of making that shift. then went on
- 7:23Speaker 1: to generate millions from there. Same me, same skills as before.
- 7:26Speaker 1: I didn't suddenly get better at marketing overnight. I just
- 7:28Speaker 1: got clear. And clarity is what made people choose me
- 7:31Speaker 1: over everyone else because I wasn't everyone else anymore. I
- 7:34Speaker 1: was the Facebook ads guy for people who wanted more clients.
- 7:36Speaker 1: And here's why it works. When you have a named framework,
- 7:39Speaker 1: a specific methodology, people aren't choosing between you and another
- 7:42Speaker 1: generic consultant anymore. They're choosing whether or not they want
- 7:45Speaker 1: your specific process or not. It's a completely different decision.
- 7:49Speaker 1: It's no longer you versus thousands of other people. It's
- 7:52Speaker 1: you versus not having you. Think about it. You don't
- 7:55Speaker 1: compare a Big Mac to a Whopper on a price
- 7:57Speaker 1: per ounce basis. Despite both being burgers, they're different things
- 8:00Speaker 1: from different places. That's what a named methodology does for
- 8:03Speaker 1: your business. It makes you incomparable. So, let me show
- 8:06Speaker 1: you how to actually name yours right now, because this
- 8:08Speaker 1: is simpler than most people make it. Step one, write
- 8:10Speaker 1: down the steps you already walk clients through. Most people
- 8:13Speaker 1: have three to five steps they use pretty much every time,
- 8:15Speaker 1: they just never really formalize them. Now, side note here,
- 8:17Speaker 1: if you've got like 15 to 20 steps, then you're
- 8:19Speaker 1: gonna wanna combine a few and get it down somewhere
- 8:21Speaker 1: between three and seven steps. Step two, pick a word
- 8:24Speaker 1: that describes what your process does. Something like method or
- 8:27Speaker 1: system or formula, code, blueprint, framework. Just pick one that
- 8:31Speaker 1: sounds like it fits. You can always change this later.
- 8:33Speaker 1: Step three, add a word in front of it that
- 8:35Speaker 1: captures either the transformation or the core idea. It sounds
- 8:38Speaker 1: like the most confusing part though, but once you actually
- 8:39Speaker 1: see it in action, it's actually pretty simple. So let
- 8:41Speaker 1: me give you a couple examples. So if you're a
- 8:43Speaker 1: financial advisor who helps clients through a five-step retirement planning process,
- 8:47Speaker 1: that might become the retirement clarity method. If on the
- 8:50Speaker 1: other hand, you're an agency that takes businesses through an audit,
- 8:53Speaker 1: a build, and an optimization phase, That might be the
- 8:56Speaker 1: growth engine system. If you're a coach who helps people
- 8:59Speaker 1: through a specific mindset and strategy sequence, that could be
- 9:02Speaker 1: the momentum blueprint. The name doesn't need to be clever.
- 9:05Speaker 1: It just needs to be yours. And the moment that
- 9:07Speaker 1: you name it, you own it. And the moment you
- 9:09Speaker 1: own it, you stop being compared. So when someone asks
- 9:11Speaker 1: how you work with clients, instead of just listing off
- 9:13Speaker 1: what you do, try saying something like, I use a
- 9:15Speaker 1: process called your framework name. It works in number, phases,
- 9:19Speaker 1: and then walk them through it briefly. That one sentence
- 9:21Speaker 1: changes the entire conversation. Now let me show you how
- 9:24Speaker 1: all three pieces work together on an actual page. Let's
- 9:26Speaker 1: say you're a web designer who helps dentists. Your headline
- 9:29Speaker 1: might be something like, stop losing patients to the practice
- 9:31Speaker 1: down the street. That's your what doing its job, leading
- 9:35Speaker 1: with the problem that they actually feel. Your sub-headline would
- 9:37Speaker 1: be something like, we help dental practices in competitive markets
- 9:41Speaker 1: fill their schedules using their existing website instead of ads.
- 9:44Speaker 1: That's your who filtering the right people in. And then
- 9:47Speaker 1: the body of your page walks them through your specific
- 9:49Speaker 1: three-step process. Something like the patient pipeline. That's your how
- 9:53Speaker 1: eliminating the comparison trap. Do these things and now they're
- 9:56Speaker 1: not comparing you to every other web designer on the internet.
- 9:58Speaker 1: You're the person who solves that's problem for that specific
- 10:01Speaker 1: market using that specific method. It's very specific. Same potential client,
- 10:05Speaker 1: but now instead of scanning your page and leaving in
- 10:07Speaker 1: three seconds, they're nodding along. They're seeing themselves in it,
- 10:10Speaker 1: and they're actually looking for the button to book a call.
- 10:13Speaker 1: So here's a page I put together using that exact
- 10:15Speaker 1: dentist example. This is HighLevel, which is the software I
- 10:17Speaker 1: use to run basically my entire business. You've got your
- 10:20Speaker 1: problem first headline up top, your who filter in the
- 10:22Speaker 1: sub headline, and then the body walks them through your
- 10:25Speaker 1: name framework step by step.
