Once upon a time, I hosted a masterclass that had what I thought was a terrible conversion rate — until it wasn't. Not a single person bought on the call. But in the days that followed? EVERY person who attended wound up buying.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four-part framework I've used (and taught behind-the-scenes) to drive wildly high conversion rates — ethically, educationally, and without a bait-and-switch in sight. If you've ever felt allergic to bro marketing, or you want to sell on a masterclass but don't want it to feel manipulative or predatory… this one's for you.What's Inside This Episode:What I was taught that made my educator brain absolutely cringe and how most webinar frameworks get it completely backwardsMy secret weapon for not only teaching, but converting sales — using learning design to teach people to buy betterThe reason I refuse to teach anything I wouldn't use in my actual programThe one thing I HAVE changed about masterclasses to evolve with what works todayWhy I only attract people who already believe they're capableMy signature take on “consent-based selling” — and how I bake it in to every sales presentationHow you can steal this approach and build your own cash-converting masterclass
What if the secret to skyrocketing your clinic's growth was hidden in the way ancient societies thrived—through farming and hunting?

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, we're going deep into the funnel foundations that actually build sustainable businesses… And dismantling the flawed logic that's everywhere in online marketing right now. It all started with a question from my friend and longtime funnel architect Jake Leslie: Why are so many people skipping the core $97–$297 offer? Why do so many funnels go straight from free lead magnet to high-ticket sale, and then wonder why nothing converts? Jake's rant sparked one of my longest solo riffs ever… And it turned into a full-on masterclass in value ladders, offer sequencing, business longevity, and the difference between strategy and tactics. If you've ever wondered why your funnel isn't converting the way you want it to… This episode might save your business. Key Highlights: Why “free opt-in → high-ticket call” worked for a season (but won't anymore) The real reason 90% of online businesses flame out in 18 months or less What Dan Kennedy taught me about the evolution of advertising costs - and why it changes everything Why value ladders still matter more than ever (despite what modern marketers claim) How to keep your audience buying from you week after week with strategic offers What Napoleon Hill was teaching about customer acquisition back in 1917 (and why it still applies) The metrics behind our $100 front-end offer and how it ascends 5.5% of buyers into high-ticket coaching The actual difference between marketers who last 25 years… and those who peak for 25 months This is the kind of episode you'll want to re-listen to - especially if you're in that weird zone where people are clicking, leads are coming in, but nothing is converting. The problem isn't your funnel. The problem is your value ladder is broken… or missing entirely.

It started with a few innocent dog scratches. My dog Daisy was itching like crazy, and I began to wonder: could it be her food? One Google search later, I found myself tumbling headfirst into a raw dog food rabbit hole—complete with Facebook ads, blog articles, YouTube videos, and a subscription box I could not refuse. In just seven days, I went from “hmm, maybe I'll try something new” to full-blown raw food DIYer with a freezer full of meat and a meal plan I created myself. And I didn't just buy dog food—I bought into an identity shift. I wanted to become the kind of person who makes her own dog food.

Send us a textIn this episode of UX Leadership by Design, Mark Baldino sits down with David Hirschfeld, founder and CEO of Tekyz, about the Launch First methodology—a metrics-driven approach to de-risking product development and achieving product-market fit before building software. David shares insights from working with over 90 startups, highlighting the common pitfalls that lead to failure, particularly the mistake of waiting too long to validate revenue. He breaks down how to identify the right niche, perform root cause analysis, and use high-fidelity prototypes to pre-sell software before investing in an MVP. Whether you're a startup founder, a product leader, or iterating on a new SaaS offering, this episode offers actionable strategies to validate demand, avoid wasted development, and accelerate success.Key TakeawaysThe Biggest Mistake Startups Make - Most startups fail due to lack of product-market fit, not running out of money. Waiting too long to validate revenue leads to wasted resources and increased risk.Flipping the MVP Approach - Instead of using an MVP to test product-market fit, use it to validate product-solution fit—ensuring real customers will use it, not just buy it.Pre-Selling Before Building - High-fidelity prototypes that feel like real software can be used to sell the vision and secure early customers before writing a single line of code.The Power of Niche Analysis - Startups should identify a niche where pain points have both a high cost and a high perceived impact, ensuring customers are both willing and able to pay.The Scientist vs. The Believer - Founders often wear the "black robe" of belief in their vision, but success comes from adopting the "white coat" of data-driven decision-making.Speed Matters: Fail Fast, Fail Cheap - Instead of spending years and millions developing a product that may not sell, Launch First helps founders validate demand in 3-5 months.Lifetime Licenses Aren't Crazy - For some SaaS models, offering lifetime licenses in pre-sales can be a smarter way to fund development than raising capital and losing equity.Chapters00:00 Introduction to David Hirschfeld's Journey03:01 Why Most Startups Fail: The Real Reason09:31 Understanding Product-Market Fit vs. Product-Solution Fit14:46 Sell Before You Build: The Power of Pre-Sales19:31 Finding the Right Niche with Data-Driven Decisions24:31 From Founder to Scientist: The Mindset Shift28:46 Building a Sales Funnel for Early Traction34:11 When to Start Building Your MVPResources & LinksConnect with David Hirschfeld on LinkedInTekyz Connect with Mark on LinkedIn Fuzzy Math - B2B & Enterprise UX Design Consultancy

Many things can kill a funnel, but there's one that will every time. This is usually what I spend the most time training someone on when critiquing funnels.
Most brands are running marketing strategies built for a world that no longer exists. We all want to create a movement, capture demand at scale, and dominate a market. But how do we do that today?For most marketers, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is the gold standard: highly targeted, sales-aligned, and built to close high-value accounts. Then you have Market-Based Marketing (MBM), which expands the lens to broader demand capture, category creation, and positioning at scale. But the REAL power shift to consider? Let me introduce you to Community-Based Marketing (CBM). CBM isn't just about audience segmentation; it's about integration. ABM is transactional at its core. It's focused on getting the deal, not necessarily building a lasting relationship. And in a world where trust is the currency, ABM alone isn't enough. MBM is noisy. It requires a massive investment in awareness, content, and brand positioning. And in today's world of oversaturated content, it's harder than ever to cut through. CBM is about embedding your brand into the daily lives of the people who actually matter.With ABM, you're pitching from the outside. With MBM, you're broadcasting to the masses. But with CBM, you're technically already in the room.Instead of hoping they see your ad, you're in their inbox. Instead of forcing them to book a demo, they're asking you for a call. Instead of convincing them to trust you, they're defending your brand against competitors. Doesn't that sound amazing? Well trust me it is possible by recalibrating Account-Based Marketing and Market-Based Marketing with Community-Based Marketing that aligns with Value-Based Marketing, turning your community into your growth engine: generating organic conversations, referrals, and loyalty that no ad spend can replicate.Beyond The Episode Gems:• Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize.
