The pandering advice that you've been told and have probably been telling not just others, but yourself, is usually told at the moment you get rejected by a potential client, and your coach/biz bestie says...

'They obviously weren't your ideal client!'

Now, sometimes this is the case. Sometimes they genuinely were not your ideal client. In some cases you made a lucky escape.

But i'm going to ask you...

I know this is a very triggering question. But please know that I'm not asking you just to ruffle your feathers. I'm asking you because if you're experiencing rejection after rejection, we have to face the real possibility that it's not them, it's YOU.

I know, I know I'm twisting the knife.

But hang in there because I want to open your mind to a new possibility...

We can either keep lying to ourselves and experiencing the same outcome, OR we can face the truth!. We can make a change, and get a different outcome.

A lot of the time when we experience rejection it's not that people don't want to buy from us. Sometimes people adore you and they truly WANT to, but they just can't seem to justify it in their heads. It seems like a lot of money for what they're not sure they'll be getting.

Your 'unsure prospect' generally rejects you for these reasons:

• They can't see a return on investment.
• They don't trust you to help them achieve their result.
• They're not clear on what they'll actually be achieving when they work with you.
• They have a 'better' option.
• They're scared that they themselves can't achieve what you're promising.

Knowing this information is truly empowering because we can start to identify which one is happening and what's missing in our marketing. Because if you're marketing is done well, your prospect should already be converted to a 'YES' when they approach you.

So the next time you're rejected, instead of telling yourself this lie, first ask yourself these questions...

• Did I truly show them a return on investment?
• Have I done everything I could to present myself as credible. To build trust with my prospects so much so that they feel totally confident in my abilities?
• Have I been really clear on the solid results/outcomes that they will get. Will they help them to get them to their overall 'success island'?
• Why didn't they choose me? What could I have done better to tune into they're true desires/wants/values?
• How can I help them build confidence in themselves that they too can achieve the results that you help others to do?

Creating content that truly crushes it is an art and only comes with learning. Note I didn't say practice. Obviously our writing/content marketing skills get better with practice absolutely but we also have to learn both in copywriting skill and testing what works and doesn't work for our audience.

Engagement with your content can be a great sign that people are 'digging' (i'm seriously down with the kids this morning) what you're putting out there.

Likes, loves and wows are a great sign that people 'like' what you do but it still ranks lowest. People can still 'like' your stuff without physically liking it.

Comments are a better sign that your content is hitting the mark. But beware of the type of comments - some people feel compelled to comment to showcase their own expertise and visibility - this does not mean they will become a client (they still might but it's not a sign). Some people will comment because they disagree.

But the comments to look out for are comments that are in agreement, show interest or even better, comments that ask questions. 

If you can enter into conversation with these people on the thread you are able to further build more intimate relationships and move people from the friend zone to the client zone.

Responding to all comments regardless of the type of comment, is very important. It adds to the contents engagement and reach, and it starts conversation and keeps the content 'alive'. All of these 'good or bad' comments, get attention and will expand the reach to more people including your ideal client.

A negative comment isn't a bad thing, it gives you the opportunity to respond with class and with your view point to position yourself as a confident authority. You'll also find those that agree with you will feel more compelled to comment as well because they jump to defend the perspective of the content and it's author.

There is one type of engagement that is a jackpot for your visibility that trumps likes, comments and even click-throughs for a visibility goal (see no.1), and that's 'shares'. If your content is shared this is a sure sign that someone really and truly resonates and loves your content.

A share will increase the reach and is social proof that this person not only likes it but is wholeheartedly in agreement/in love/totally resonates with what you have to say. They might share it because it's useful, but more often than not, people share because they're in agreement with a sentiment or an opinion and by sharing it, it sends a message out to the world that they are well and truly in agreement and in alignment with that way of thinking. It shows the world something about their identity and what they stand for.

I know this one ranks at number 3! Shocking but hear me out...

One thing that was said to me when I first started out that I still stand by, is that 'likes and comments don't build a business'. There is an element of trust when it comes to your content and making sales. Not everyone actively engages but that doesn't mean it's not making an impact on them. 

I get a tonne of sales from people who have been passively following me, some I've never heard of and some have NEVER physically 'liked', commented or shared my stuff. But they are still engaging by clicking through or even reading/watching/listening silently.

Writing epic headlines is what will get the most important piece of engagement - 'click-throughs'. If people aren't clicking through to read/watch/listen then they're not even passively engaged and you're being overlooked so this is imperative! I use an online tool called 'bit.ly' to measure this.

The biggest rule of content is that people have to care about your content. Both in the headline AND beyond. 

Leads and sales is the number one way to know if you're crushing it with your content marketing. If people aren't opting-in and/or buying, then it's not working (that's assuming you're creating your content for your business). I'm not suggesting that people read/watch/listen to something once and will then become your client (even though let me tell you, I have clients who have done just that) but some people need more time to make a decision so...

Ask your clients how they first heard about you, track as much as you can where people made their first touch point with you and through what content did they join your group or list. Understanding where your sales are coming from will help you to understand what content is working and that you either need to create more of that type OR repurpose it, reshare it, reuse it or scale it up (put it on an ad). See below for more info in converting surface level engagement to buying engagement.

Asides from the obvious advice that you should be asking for engagement - telling them to comment, share, ask questions, respond to your question etc.

Your content needs to come from the heart and needs to resonate with your ideal client, either because it's useful or because it speaks 'truth' to them. 

In order to convert these people into clients, they need to know why they should follow you further, that you have something of value to offer them. So a clear call to action at the end of your content (where you're able) is important to pull them into your domain (list, group etc) so you can nurture and convert them into paying clients. Offering something of further use to them specifically (that then leads into a relevant paid offer) will lead them through congruent funnel to becoming paid clients.

This means you have to be clear on 'who' you're speaking to when you're writing, and not just in terms of demographics, I'm talking about the values and world views your ideal clients have. 

Your content should be something that's either useful to them or that resonates with them. 

If you struggle to write content it's likely because you're struggling to define who it is you actually help or perhaps you know who, but you're struggling to identify with their true desires, problems, unique views, motivations and priorities.

Once you know 'who' at a deep level, the creation becomes effortless. Content that helps them solve their biggest problems, content that resonates with their views or even content that creates a new way of thinking or offers a new way of doing things to give your ideal clients hope that they can achieve their goals/desires/overcome their issues.

It's easy to look at everyone else and feel small in comparison (deadly easy), especially the big fish who have all the fancy stuff. I used to look at the big stars with...

• the team to catch them talking off the cuff in a professional interview.
• the editing pro who makes all their content look like it's been through Hollywood production.
• the slick filming crew and amazing public speaking talent.
• the customer service team who show up to help out with tech issues.

And part of me felt seriously inadequate, like 'who is going to listen to me in comparison to that!'

The thing is, none of those things REALLY matter, really they don't.

They only mattered to me because that's where I wanted to be. It didn't really matter to my ideal clients.

The only thing that matters to your clients is that they get help solving their problem and achieving their goals. That's it!

Now I DO believe in making things as amazing as you possibly can, with what you have, to give a great impression and build trust as an expert. And if you look at my old content compared to my new content you will see a marked improvement. But the old content still impacted and helped so many people, and I still made a ton of money back then.

I can't keep track of the countless 'polished' productions/articles that really don't contain any real value! They look impressive but they're lacking in substance.

So The Simple Answer Is...

If you're going to go all out making something amazing, the ONE thing that you can guarantee will win over all the fancy stuff, is 'amazing value'. Helping your prospects solve and move forward.

Make that your priority first and foremost and the other stuff will come. People appreciate raw, real and valuable content.

The world aint seen nothin yet!

Have you been waiting for a sign that your business is going to be super off the charts successful and that you're going to dominate your niche?Yes? Well good news! I have three signs right here that if you nail, you'll know that the powerful potential is right there ready to be brought to fruition with some effort and nurture.

One of the biggest reasons I struggled in business is because I persisted with the wrong ideas. I was, as they say, 'flogging a dead horse' - any alternatives to that horrific phrase is welcome - ideas on a postcard.

It doesn't matter how dedicated you are to your cause, how passionate, how determined, how amazing you are, if you don't have the right idea, you're focusing too much on putting your foot on the clutch instead of putting it into gear and pushing the accelerator.

The clutch, whilst important to make the car work, can't be the only focus. The accelerator is what builds the most speed and momentum.  BUT the most important part of the process is actually choosing the right gear to make traction before you can build the speed.

Your business is exactly the same. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the mechanics of your own expertise that we forget what actually drives progress.


In order to ride the wave of success by hitting that gas pedal, we have to choose carefully what gear will give us the most traction to start building that momentum.
Choosing the right gear is the part that takes the most brain power and this is where business strategy comes in. 

In the business world, choosing the right gear means choosing to solve a genuine problem. A problem is only a problem if it's stopping a wanted outcome OR is causing so much pain that it become unbearable to continue that way.

So many business owners are a 'nice to have' instead of making themselves indispensable. Instead of delivering what you want to deliver, deliver what's needed to a genuine person

When you have the ability to convert someone completely off your own merit (i.e. not through word of mouth),from an entirely cold prospect to a converted client, who then continues to achieve incredible results, you know all you have to do is find more people like them who have the problem you solve and repeat the process. MAGIC!

After years of incredible amounts of money being investing in the business without much luck, the owner of FedEx got incredibly excited when ONE person WANTED their product - because he knew if one person wanted it without a ton of convincing, there would be more like them.

Passion alone is no basis for a business, but it is the fuel in the car. 

So if you are passionate about solving the problem and helping people reach their specific success island, and you know you are the best person to help them do it, then your tank is full and you're ready to go the long distance!

Are you celebrating right now, or are you ready to knuckle down on working out what problem it is you solve, or how to convert cold prospects?
