Products To Profits Podcast, Brought to you by Amy Wenslow

#09: Write compelling marketing copy

Original. Compelling. Connects people to ideas then to the product.

It surprises, delights, informs, evokes a subconscious response.

What's the "IT"?

It's "copy", specifically --- Compelling Marketing Copy.

I've seen way more than my share of GOOD (aha!), BAD (eek!) and UGLY (gasp!) marketing copy. I'm going to share how to optimize the good, rewrite the bad and scrap the downright-ugly copy.

#08: Effective Investor Pitches

When I was listening to the practice run of an investor pitch, there was a glaring change that needed to be made. So, even if you've been wanting to pitch to investor groups, pitch contests or television shows like "Shark Tank", "Elevator Pitch", "Dragon's Den", "The Profit" or "Billion Dollar Buyer", it's a world of difference to actually do it.

I thought you would benefit from hearing what makes an Effective Investor Pitch

#07: What Happens When Business Doubles or Triples

I had a chance to spend some time with the guy that Starbucks CEO, Howard Shultz, relied on to help them when they wanted to explode from $165 million per year to $1 billion per year. In 3 YEARS! And they did it.

He's currently advising Jamba Juice on their organizational development.

I'm BLESSED beyond words to have been selected to be in THAT EXACT ROOM with Eric and learn from him the past few weeks.

Join me to hear some of the lessons that apply to product businesses.

#06: Getting Your Product "Out There"

This Episode is from our Product business Show, which aired on 7/23/2018

#05: Packaging - Fixing Problems & the Best Process

Correct packaging can do everything from increasing sales, improving profit margins and signing deals to lowering returns and customer service phone calls. All of that helps you make money, save time and lower stress levels.

#04: Carving Out Focused Time For Your Product Business

This episode is about simple ways to create focus and time for building your product business.

 

Let's face it. Life happens so quickly. AND...  The best of intentions are completely useless without your commitment and action. Consistent action. An action that might require you to grow.

 

We'll have super actionable, simple steps you can take from wherever your project is right now.

 

This call is especially important for anyone who has:

• Created a prototype
• Attended a trade show
• Exhibited at a trade show
• Had people buy their product anywhere
• Decided that 2016 is their year to finally do their project
• Chosen to expand their business quickly

 

#03: Facebook & Instagram Updates for Business

I'm going to share a few of the gems I learned recently at an all-day event with the business teams from Facebook and Instagram. You'll be able to use a few of the inside tips for products as early as today if you're paying attention. :)

#02: Managing Your Product Simply

Ok. Let's get real here. You can have the best intentions in the world BUT if you don't manage your day-to-day actions in your projects, you'll never get to your goals. As entrepreneurs, we all need a simple system for organizing the amount of detail that comes with creating new things. And, yes, there are ways to still have it feel light and creative!

#01: Sales funnels to sell more products

If you’ve never heard of a sales funnel, this show will help.

If your sales are lackluster no matter how many people see your product, there’s a good chance you should look at changing your sales funnel. (And maybe your packaging or pricing but those are different topics we’ve talked a lot about on our blog.)

Even if you are making sales, this show will help. That’s because evolving your sales funnels lets you keep pace and continue growing. 

So how do you know if you have a good sales funnel?!

For online product sales, you should be getting at least 2% of people who click your ad to buy your product.
