“How confident are you that you could grab the attention of a cold prospect and get them to take action in less than 60 seconds?” -Amanda Holmes Summary: In this episode of The CEO Mastery Show, Amanda Holmes challenges viewers to assess their confidence in capturing a cold prospect's attention within 60 seconds. She highlights the ineffectiveness of traditional elevator pitches, which fail 97% of the time because they target only 3% of prospects ready to buy. The episode talks about a more effective 'stadium pitch' that engages different segments of the buyer's pyramid. She shares the three major reasons elevator pitches fail: targeting a narrow audience, failing to grab attention, and being too pushy. Amanda also presents a solution – an AI-powered stadium pitch workshop designed to help businesses create compelling pitches and align their messaging. The workshop includes training, a contest for refining pitches, and the use of a custom AI tool to help craft messages quickly. For a limited time, the workshop is offered at a substantial discount, promising significant results for sales and marketing teams and small businesses.

I am a product of what we teach and we wouldn't be here today if it wasn't a methodology that actually works. -Amanda Holmes Many people believe the best way to grow your business is to be a generalist. But the truth is: trying to be everything to everyone can dilute efforts and leave you with little to show for it. The key to doubling your business lies not in spreading yourself thin, but in playing the long game—focusing your energy on one place, one community, and the right clients. What if, instead of chasing every potential lead, you honed in on the clients who truly value your services? What would it feel like to have a clear, focused strategy that leads to real, measurable results? How much time and energy could you save by zeroing in on the right clients and community? In this episode, CEO of Chet Holmes International (CHI) Amanda Holmes joins me to talk about the fastest and least expensive way to double sales. We also talk about her journey of building a legacy and some of her personal wins. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode How to identify the right client The better buyer isn't always the biggest one. How do we identify who our perfect client is and how do we tap into that? The power of consistently showing up How does constantly showing up prepare us to make breakthroughs? Do we need to be present for every opportunity that presents itself? Crafting messaging that actually works Doubling our sales is all about focusing on simple things that move the needle. How do we craft messaging that captures attention?
