This is the last day to access the Free Masterclass

September 26, 2019 By Patricia Dent Leave a Comment

Hi everyone

I’m sure you’ve seen a lot of emails flying around about product launches this week. Well, this is different… because it’s completely free, with no opt-in required.

Jeff Walker just took down the “firewall” that was hiding his full-blown Launch Masterclass. It’s more than 12 hours of content, including downloads, Q&A, the “super secret” sessions… and even the infamous “Squirrel Cam” that had viewers raving (you’ve gotta watch to get it).

All 12+ hours of video are now on one page, and you don’t need to give your email to see them. Just go here to watch now:

https://productlaunchformula.com/go?p=growvantage&w=919_allaccess

I’ve been watching along and this training has incredibly high value. It’s innovative and thorough – and I hope you are getting a lot out of it. And it doesn’t even require an opt-in.

If you want to catch it – please watch right now, because the Launch Masterclass recordings won’t be up there for long:

Patricia

P.S. I’m sure Jeff would love for you to buy his full-blown course, but these Launch Masterclass recordings are free – and they really show you how to structure your product or business launch.

All about effective sales…

September 20, 2019 By Patricia Dent Leave a Comment

A rundown of what Jeff Walker will be teaching this week…all about his unique sales process

Sunday, 9/22: Lesson #4 opt-in page goes live

On Sunday. The “Lesson 4” LIVE broadcast will be hot. Jeff will be teaching “open cart” strategies, as well as how to sell effectively without being slimy… His approach is to give lots of value before asking for a sale – and I know from years of Grow Vantage classes that sales is a sore point with most of us. We don’t want to look like used car salespeople.

– Monday, 9/23: Live Lesson #4, Getting You Launched

Jeff will again go LIVE to teach at 4pm ET. Here’s what’s really cool about this broadcast:It’s all about what to do once you open the cart and start taking orders. This is one of the most critical parts of the launch… and it’s also one of the most overlooked.

You’ll see how he introduces the sale and the bonuses available to people who register early (on Monday).

– Tuesday, 9/24: Sales video goes live

One of the pieces of Jeff’s presentation is a sales video. It will allow you to look at the elements he uses and you will get a ton of value.

– Wednesday, 9/25: Case studies page goes live

Case studies are sooo important (as are testimonials) to providing social proof. (Which is why I’ve asked you to consider providing me with a Grow Vantage case study). There is a wide variety of businesses who will provide this information, in all kinds of niches and markets.

Here’s just a taste of some of the really awesome case studies we’ll be featuring on that page (some of whom I have met):

  • Cathy Hay, who runs a membership site where she teaches people how to make beautiful, historically accurate corsets (and doubled her business with launches).
  • Bonnie Christine, who made $342,000 with her very first launch… and her market is designing fabric and wallpaper!
    Max Guidi, teaches yoga online in the Italian market and went from $2,000 to $90,000 with his first two launches.

– Thursday, 9/26: the All Access page before they close their cart on Friday night

All FOUR of the Launch Masterclass Lessons on one page, no opt-in required. If you’ve missed anything so far… this is where you can catch up.

Hoping you are finding a lot of value in these broadcasts.

For transcription this is an incredible find…Otter.ai

September 17, 2019 By Patricia Dent Leave a Comment

Hi everyone

I was at a conference in Montreal in August, and raised the issue of transcription with another attendee. I was offered a free month of premium trial for otter.ai and have been testing it with my latest 3 hour class, mastermind and coaching.

It is brilliant (though text still needs to be cleaned up). It will also integrate with zoom and capture everyone’s voices if needed. Link below to a free trial (note – they have set up a referral mechanism that gives both the referring person and referree a free month).

The paid version allows 6,000 minutes per month for $10US/month or $100US/year. Not sure how long this will last.

Here is my link: https://otter.ai/referrals/VR50IU0A

RAW and REFLECTIVE 2020 calendar launches September 16th

September 13, 2019 By Patricia Dent Leave a Comment

The RAW and REFLECTIVE 2020 calendar was launched to give a voice to cancer survivors (and those who have lost the struggle) and to bring awareness to the impact of this fateful diagnosis.

Cancer rates are rising rapidly. As of 2020 one in two people will experience a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime.

One in Two.

The Canadian Cancer Society statistics mean that there will be over 7,700 cases here in our community alone.

Spearheaded by Sharon Smith (GV32) Connect Hair Studio, the Raw and Reflective calendar features 13 models, 14 of Barrie’s most accomplished videoographers and photographers (including Ian G. McIntosh, GV35, Laura Joy Bainborough (GV37) and Jennifer Klementti (GV5), a graphic designer, an editor and a dedicated volunteer committee who brought this project together to raise funds for Gilda’s Club Simcoe Muskoka.  The project has been sponsored by a number of generous firms in Barrie and across the county.  It takes a village – just as it does to deal with cancer.

Gilda’s Club of Simcoe Muskoka ensures that no–one in our region has to face cancer alone. In spite of receiving no funding from government subsidies, Gilda’s Clubs do not turn anyone away. They operate over 700 programs and welcome all affected by cancer with understanding, compassion and care.

On this, their 10th anniversary, we are proud to have the opportunity to support one of our critical resources in the fight against this disease we know as cancer. Talk to Sharon, or Patricia (Miss April, along with Sprocket and Bell the dogs) or go online to Gilda’s.

Thank you for your support.
