Many coaches make this mistake with their social proof.<\/span><\/p>\n

They think that testimonials are the best way to build credibility for their offers.<\/span><\/p>\n

And sure, it does help a little.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, on your sales page having heaps of testimonials always leads to a better conversion rate\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026when compared to a sales page that doesn\u2019t have any.<\/span><\/p>\n

But what if I told you that on your webinar or live presentation that you actually want to use something way more powerful than testimonials?<\/span><\/p>\n

Something that builds BOTH desire and connection with your audience.<\/b><\/p>\n

You see on your webinar, if done correctly\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026 you are systematically building a connection with your audience.<\/b><\/p>\n

(Side note: I\u2019m running a live training series called \u201cSell from Webinar and Live Stages\u201d starting on Oct 20th, teaching how to build this connection and run highly profitable webinars and live presentations – <\/span>Register Here<\/b><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n

And while testimonials build desire, they don\u2019t necessarily build connection.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what is this super powerful desire and connection tool?<\/span><\/p>\n

Case Studies.<\/b><\/p>\n

You see, case studies work so well in place of testimonials on your webinar because they take your audience on a journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

They get to see how someone, oftentimes in their shoes went from a place of struggle to a place of success.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a guide, I generally like for my case studies to answer these questions and for them to be presented in this order as well\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the problem someone is facing?<\/b><\/p>\n

What was the desire they had?<\/b><\/p>\n

What was the resistance they felt?<\/b><\/p>\n

What was the tool or strategy they used?<\/b><\/p>\n

What was the breakthrough they experienced?<\/b><\/p>\n

Remember you are taking your audience on a journey.<\/span><\/p>\n

This creates desire & connection.<\/b><\/p>\n

Presenting from a webinar or a live stage creates authority.<\/span><\/p>\n

And when you combine authority and connection that\u2019s when the magic happens\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s when you get conversions!<\/span><\/p>\n

I trust you see the power in this.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use it in your next presentation and let me know how it goes! \ud83d\ude42<\/span><\/p>\n

I’ll be going deeper in these strategies and so much more on my new workshop series coming up called: \u201cSell from Webinar and Live Stages\u201d starting on Oct 20th, teaching how to build this connection and run highly profitable webinars and live presentations – <\/span>Register Here<\/b><\/a>)<\/span><\/p>\n
