Group coaching programs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one I use currently in my business and it\u2019s simply a group coaching program that members pay monthly for in order to be a part of it. This is typically a mid to high-ticket-priced program.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I originally started with one core product. Then I had a ton of students ask if I could help them more closely and continually. This is why I launched the ELITE coaching program, which has been one of my favorite (if not the favorite) things I&#8217;ve ever done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>2. Membership programs<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everybody knows about membership programs. Heck, you\u2019re probably in 1 or a few yourself. I certainly am. But the question is, are you implementing one in your business? There are so many strategies that you can utilize here that I\u2019d need a whole other email just to lay them out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But one cool one I\u2019ll lay out for you that I know a highly successful coach does is using it as a self-liquidating offer. She doesn\u2019t actually use it to profit, she uses it to break even on her ad spend and then her real money is made when she sells her members into her higher-ticket coaching programs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><b>3. Installment plans<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now this one might be a little fringe in regards to being considered full-blown continuity but it still allows you to predict future income as well as increase conversions right out the gate. I do this with all of my programs\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students have the option to pay in full (and save) or they can pay over the course of the next 6 to 12 months depending on their current financial situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you aren\u2019t utilizing continuity in your business yet\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>I highly encourage you to take a deep look in this direction and see where you can apply it.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s only going to help\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I can promise you that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Colin &#8216;Predictable\u2019 Boyd<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>P.S.

One shift that most experts brand would benefit from is to clearly identify the external issue your customer has and connect it with an internal issue. For example, entrepreneurs think they need money but what they really need is a strategy. My guest today &#8211; Jamal Miller utilized this strategy, among many others discussed on this episode, that allowed him to go from food stamps to 7 figures ridiculously fast. So fast that he doesn&#8217;t even remember making his first 6 figures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this episode we discuss:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The power of a membership program and how Jamal set his up to create a community that breeds a family feel &amp; strategic growth for his members<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; How people actually value your struggles more than your success &#8211; this is key to getting them to trust you<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; Being the best in your area of expertise isn&#8217;t necessarily going to get you the best results but Jamal reveals what will<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; And a whole lot more&#8230; You don&#8217;t want to miss this episode!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expertedgepodcast.com\/blog\/episode140\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; Click here to listen to the <\/b><b>Building A Million Dollar Brand with Jamal Miller episode<\/b><b> on ALL platforms<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/expert-edge-podcast\/id1500505303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>&gt;&gt;&gt; Click here to listen to the <\/b><b>Building A Million Dollar Brand with Jamal Miller episode <\/b><b>on iTunes<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was at a marketing event recently and one of the speakers made a comment that got me thinking\u2026 He said, \u201cif you don\u2019t have any continuity in your business then you don\u2019t have a business.\u201d Now, I\u2019m not sure I would go that far.
