Episode Timeline:
Creating an irresistible offer should answer the following:
3:56
To whom is this offer for?
Why are you building this offer?
Where is it coming from?
Who is it going to serve?
To make an irresistible offer, take your personal desires out of the equation and go to your audience.
5:15
The more that you focus on the persona that represents your audience, the bigger impact you will have, the quicker you will move through those phases of initial buyers, extended buyers and so on.
The Perfect Audience
12:00
When you have a business idea, you need to go to seek for people who are in the same business. Build up a network and rapport, and start talking about your idea. Then you will draw that audience in. That’s the initial audience which we call “The Founders”. From that you start crafting and start looking for people who are in match of the things that you are looking for. And that’s how you will start building your persona.
Naming & Building The Persona
16:19
A lot of businesses, when they use personas, they start to think of them as real people and refer to them with actual names. It pushes you to be on the zone of serving customers.
Pricing People Out
18:50
You cannot help and serve everybody. If you try please everybody, you’ll please nobody. Corporations don’t do that. They look for a specific income demographic and even in their sales organization, the target organizations are within a revenue stream before even talking to them. That’s what building personas do, they make you very specific.
20:20
If you want to serve people properly, you have to price out people. You have to be more expensive on the expertise that you can do.
24:00
Do SWOT Analysis on the buyer which you really need. And start role playing your buyer
