What if I told you there's ONE thing that could make the difference between being a replaceable vendor and becoming an irreplaceable strategic partner for your clients? As a service provider, you're probably already doing amazing work, but if you're missing this crucial element, you might be at risk of getting cut when budgets tighten.In this episode, I'm going off script from my usual marketing and course creation advice to speak directly to service providers. Drawing from my extensive experience as the CEO on the other side of your invoices, I'm sharing the secret ingredient that will make clients keep you around for the long haul: demonstrated value.Here's the harsh truth – doing good work and being nice to work with isn't enough anymore, especially in an age where AI can handle many tasks. What makes you truly irreplaceable is showing the strategic impact of your work and tying it directly to your client's bottom line. I'll walk you through exactly how to create simple, effective reports that showcase your value in a way that makes CEOs think, "I can't live without them!"What you'll learn:The key difference between service providers who get kept versus those who get cutWhy "ticking the box" and delivering on time isn't enough anymoreHow to identify and report on growth metrics that CEOs actually care aboutPractical examples for different service types (email marketers, social media managers, customer support)A step-by-step approach to creating simple, powerful monthly value reportsWhy becoming a strategic partner (not just a vendor) is your ultimate goalYour Next Steps:Get our best-seller, The 2-Hour Brand Book: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/brand Work with Me: https://www.gemmabonhamcarter.com/programsWhat I Use to Run My 7-Figure Business: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/toolsConnect on Social: https://www.instagram.com/gemma.bonhamcarter Support the show
Are you frustrated trying to grow your audience without breaking through to new listeners? I get it. You pour your heart into creating incredible content, but it feels like you're stuck talking to the same handful of listeners every week. GROW YOUR AUDIENCE WITH PODCAST INTERVIEWS In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive deep with Liam Austin, co-founder of Talks.Co, to reveal my favorite strategy for audience growth: landing podcast interviews. Liam will mention it during our conversation. You can get started for free with Talks.co at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/talks. To be effective, these guest spots need to put you in front of the right, ready-to-engage audience. Trust me, guesting isn't just a nice-to-have—it's a must if you want to build influence and turn your podcast into a thriving business. THE RIGHT PODCASTS Knowing which shows to target, and how to get booked as a guest, can make or break your growth strategy. Not all podcasts are created equal, and it's a mistake to guest on just any show. Liam explains why you don't need to focus on competitors; instead, seek out shows that complement what you do and speak directly to your ideal clients. For example, if you're a marketing expert for entrepreneurs, aim for podcasts that help entrepreneurs build businesses, not necessarily marketing podcasts. You want to get in front of listeners who actually want what you offer, not just more of what you do. GET THEM TO SAY "YES" But how do you get hosts to say yes, especially when they're inundated with generic, spammy pitches? You have to show up as the number one choice. That starts with hyper-relevant, personalized outreach—no copy-paste emails! Build genuine relationships by demonstrating you've listened to their show and understand their audience. And please, whatever you do, don't send cold pitches about unrelated topics. As I shared in this episode, nothing hurts more than getting pitched a cryptocurrency trader for a podcast about podcasting! LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIPS Getting booked is only half the battle. You also need a strategy to bring listeners from that appearance into your own world. Liam and I break down the power of value-driven call-to-actions. Always give immense value first. Then, invite listeners to take the next step with a compelling lead magnet. Whether it's a free checklist, a workshop, or a downloadable resource, the goal should be getting them onto your email list. This is where you have full control and can nurture real relationships beyond social platforms. GET STARTED Ready to put this into action? Check out Talks.co, the platform Liam founded to connect podcast guests and hosts quickly and efficiently. Create your (free!) speaker profile and discover shows actively seeking guests right now. If you're serious about growing your audience, it's time to move beyond waiting for listeners to find you. Get started: Use my affiliate link at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/talks to start for free.

Trying to DIY your way through AI isn't showing grit—it's wasting precious time and opportunity. And I say this as someone who LOVES to figure things out myself! I'm seeing too many capable founders (especially women) stalling out because they're stuck in what I call "prompt purgatory"—constantly collecting AI resources but rarely implementing them.What if the shortcut isn't cheating? What if it's actually the smart CEO move that you're avoiding? While you're saving that fifth tutorial to watch "later," someone else has already launched their product or tripled their output with AI doing the heavy lifting. That's the new reality.I'll share how my own business transformation began when I took a shortcut by investing in a Pinterest course years ago—a decision that collapsed my learning curve from years into weeks and became the foundation for everything I've built since.What you'll learn:Why "shortcutting" with AI is about collapsing timelines, not cutting cornersThe hidden costs of DIYing your way through AI (time, energy, missed opportunities)How to shift from "scrappy founder" to "smart CEO" mindsetWhat AI mastery in 2025 actually unlocks (building funnels in a weekend, tripling content output)Why the entrepreneurs who thrive this year won't be the ones who "kinda know" AIResources Mentioned:AI Unlocked Summit: https://gemmabonhamcarter.com/ai-unlocked (May 27-29, 2025) Support the show

The Economy: Trump Risks US Consumer Discontent With His Tariffs, Poll Shows President Donald Trump is struggling to persuade US consumers of the merits of his trade war, a Harris Poll for Bloomberg News found.

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

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. Let's fix that. https://sellingonline.com/podcast https://clickfunnels.com/podcast https://30days.com https://clickfunnelsdropshipping.com Special thanks to our sponsors: NordVPN: EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal https://nordvpn.com/secrets Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee!

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. In this episode, I walk you through that transformation—from unaware to superfan—and break down the stages of the sales funnel framework that brought me there.
