Pivotal Moments

·       Chala’s trick is to super niche.

·       Chala started as an ABM in corporate and then she went on the ladder of moving through to the next manager level.

·       The reason Chala moved out of corporate was because she always had this dream to be an entrepreneur.

·       She invested money in coaches to help her with the transition from corporate to entrepreneur.

·        A lot of things are resolved when you have super niched.

Advice:

In order to super niche,

·       Draw a blue sky and write down every single industry of who you can work with or who you have worked with.

·       Write down their most expensive, costly and persistent pain points.

·       Score them for relevance in terms of whether it can make you money, whether you have access to the decision maker and whether it is a good fit for you and your skill set and background.

·       Once you have done that then the top three industries pain points pop out.

·       We deploy a research a 15 min conversation verifying and validating the assumptions around pain and price point.

·       Once you have the market data back that validates the pain point a lot of these cases turn into sales in the moment.

·       You can then take the data and deploy it into a messaging strategy and into a marketing plan.

The formula for elevator pitch is: Who you help? What is their pain? How you help them? What results they get?

Quote:

The shorter time it takes to describe what you do, the more money you make.
