SFR 220: How I Pitched Russell Brunson To Keynote At OfferMind...
The biggest mistake I see people make when approaching others of influence is they enter the relationship without adding value to the other.
\xa0
This is my campaign I used to approach Russell Brunson about Keynoting at OfferMind 2019...
\xa0
HOW RUSSELL BRUNSON HELPED ME CREATE OFFERMIND
\xa0
I wanted my own event real bad, so last year, when Russell Brunson came out with his 30-Days Book, I decided to piggyback off the launch to build my event.
\xa0
Each affiliate received a $100 for each person who signed up through their link.
\xa0
375 people bought the book through me which meant that I could use that income to create a sweet event.
\xa0
Each person who bought the 30 Day Book with my link also got a free ticket to my first OfferMind.
\xa0
We found a room that would hold 180 people, and about 160 RSVP\u2019d to get tickets.
\xa0
There's always a 5 - 10% no-show rate on all events, no matter what you do (crazy, I know), \xa0so on the day, we ended up with roughly 150 showing up, which is pretty good for the first time.
\xa0
I know that OfferMind is an event that I will probably do each year, so I wrote down my dream list of potential speakers on my whiteboard.
\xa0
You can guess who was top of that list, right? ;-)
\xa0
HOW NOT TO PITCH YOUR DREAM 100
\xa0
People have asked: \xa0\u201cStephen, you\u2019re friends. Why didn't you just ask Russell to speak at Offermind?\u201d
\xa0
Well, first of all, I\u2019d NEVER leverage a relationship for the sake of my business. So I'm gonna do EVERYTHING I would normally do to Russell that speaking at OfferMind was a GREAT idea.
\xa0
I created a full-out stack and offer for him with closes, calls to actions, AND a fast-action bonus! \xa0
\xa0
If you're gonna ask an influencer to do something, you better go the freakin' distance.
\xa0
The absolute worst way to get someone to speak at your event (especially a dream 100 influencer) is to send them a message and say, \u201cYou wanna speak at my event?\u201d
\xa0
I've been asked to speak at two events recently, where I can tell my name was just being used to fill their event.
\xa0
I will NEVER do any business with those individuals the rest of my life, they burned the bridge so hard.
\xa0
You're gonna NOT get an influencer to show up for your business by walking up and saying, \u201cHey, you being coming to my event would truly be awesome for me and my business.\u201d That's stupid!
\xa0
You need to make your OFFER amazing and speak their language.
\xa0
That's exactly what I did with Russell Brunson, and thankfully he agreed. I'm really pumped!
The reason I'm sharing this with you is two-fold:
\xa0
#1: I want you to come to OfferMind.
\xa0
#2: I want to show you how to approach a Dream 100 influencer
\xa0
Next, I\u2019m gonna go through the script and offer I created for Russell to show you how I presented it, but if you wanna download the script, all you gotta do is get a ticket for OfferMind.
\xa0
I'm handing the script out to each person who grabs a ticket at OfferMind.com.
PITCHING MR RUSSELL BRUNSON
\xa0
So, instead of just asking Russell straight out\u2026 I started dropping hints.
\xa0
My first move was to send him a Vox saying, \u201cI'm NOT asking you to speak at OfferMind, I'm just telling you I'm trying to think of ways to get you to speak at OfferMind.\u201d
\xa0
I was kinda messing with him, and surprisingly, he messaged back, and \xa0said, \u201cI want sushi while getting a massage.\u201d
\xa0
I said, \u201cAs long as it's not me doing them, yeah.\u201d
\xa0
So two days later, I walked into his office with a masseuse gift certificate from his favorite masseuse and sushi for the entire ClickFunnels office.
\xa0
I also wrote a sales script and created a stack slide to pitch him on keynoting at OfferMind.
\xa0
I wrote out the vehicle, internal and external related false beliefs that \xa0I knew he\u2019d go through when I asked him to keynote at my event.
\xa0
I went through the whole marketing process and created an offer and wrote a full freakin' script. I probably spent five hours writing it.
\xa0
This was a spawn of my brain. Sometimes that's great, and sometimes it's dangerous... right now, it's great.
\xa0
Here\u2019s how I did it\u2026
\xa0
CREATING AN OFFER FIT FOR RUSSELL BRUNSON
\xa0
I took Russell\u2019s webinar script which he knows inside out, (I use that script a lot too), and I went slide by slide from the stack slide on, to create an entire script.
\xa0
What you\u2019re gonna get when you choose to keynote at OfferMind 2019. The first thing you're gonna get when you commit to keynote at OfferMind 2019:
\xa0
#1: First, you're gonna be the featured keynote speaker, with ads, paid content, hyper fans all promoting the event.
\xa0
Also, Steve's personal closing team will be calling his audience after any purchase throughout the year leading up to the OfferMind event to sell 'em tickets. Whoa!
\xa0
*On the right side, I added in a lot of trial closes which imitate what you'd expect a person's brain to be going through as I'm speaking...
\xa0
It\u2019s a two-sided conversation that I'm having both with Russell, but it\u2019s also what\u2019s going on inside of his own head.
\xa0
#2: Secondly, you're gonna get more paid traffic to your One Funnel Away Challenge, Steve's ad team will drive paid traffic to each of your One Funnel Away Challenges throughout the year.
\xa0
Each One Funnel Away buyer who buys through Steve's affiliate link will get credit for an OfferMind ticket where they'll further get ClickFunnels indoctrination from Stephen.
\xa0
Wow, that's pretty awesome, right? Now you're probably thinking\u2026
\xa0
(Okay, now, I'm starting to hit secondary objections.)
\xa0
Right now, you're probably thinking, \u201cIs Steve Larsen or OfferMind even big enough for my level of influence?
\xa0
(That's a vehicle-based objection right there, I'm hittin' it on the head.)
And... \u201cCould the decision to speak threaten my status as the CEO of ClickFunnels?\u201d
\xa0
You're probably thinking that right? Great question! We thought of that too. So, the third thing you're gonna get\u2026
\xa0
(And so there's literally a piece of the offer combating each one of those objections exactly as I\u2019d do in any script.)
\xa0
#3: So, the third thing you're gonna get high-end stage and event designers with professional media coverage to make this the coolest experience.
\xa0
Steve has already hired the same A/V companies that do a lot of the Funnel Hacking Live and Two Comma Club X stages and they'll put on the event so the caliber will match your caliber.
\xa0
Steve's caliber will match your caliber.
\xa0
We'll also have professional photographers and videographers taking pictures, recordings, and B-roll that we'll turn over to you afterward for your own use.
\xa0
(He's always looking for cool B-roll.)
\xa0
You'll have your own custom backdrop and smoke that comes out. The crowd will be chanting, \u201cRussell, Russell, Russell,\u201d with Seven Nation Army blaring when I invite you onstage.
\xa0
Additionally, the audience will be wearing the same Funnel Hacking or funnel promoting t-shirt like a uniform... which I will provide.
\xa0
If that isn't enough, Steve will personally yell in the face of anyone NOT absolutely going nuts when you walk up.
\xa0
*Um, my jaw just dropped* Are you starting to imagine how epic you're gonna look on the stage of OfferMind?
\xa0
If you listen carefully, you probably already can hear them chanting, right? \u201cRussell, Russell!\u201d
\xa0
BUT if you're like me, you're probably thinking, \u201cAh but, what would I even talk about?\u201d
\xa0
(I know he's gonna think that)
\xa0
*How do I know? Because I sat in a room with him for two years. He's gonna go, \u201cUm, I don't even know what to talk about? That's alright I'll figure it out later.\u201d
\xa0
I know he's going to say that, but I wanna make sure I answer that concern as well. It's very much an internal-based concern: \xa0
\xa0
\u201cI can see OfferMind would be a cool thing to do, but what would I talk about? Do I have the personal capacity to jump in and do that?\u201d
\xa0
He's gonna wanna over-deliver. So the objection is gonna be content focused, and what\u2019s he gonna talk about? \xa0So I'm gonna bring that up ahead of time.
\xa0
Ah, but what are you gonna talk about... and for how long?
#4: So the fourth you're gonna get topic and length autonomy. You'll have 500 - 800 people in the room...
\xa0
*We're going for 500 to 800 people (if it\u2019s possible with the event space). I'm sure we'll figure it out... but 500 people at least is what we're goin' for.
\xa0
Steve will be speaking the full first day, and we'd like you to keynote on day two. You'll be the last speaker and have total control on what you talk about and how long you wanna go.
\xa0
Feel free to test new material or talk about anything you want, but at the end of your speech\u2026
\xa0
(Okay, now I'm gonna tie into something that he wants)
\xa0
It's not just WHAT does Steve Larsen want... It's HOW can I make my purposes align with Russell Brunson's purpose?
\xa0
*If you're trying to Dream 100 somebody, aligning with their purpose is a major key...
\xa0
At the end of your speech, Steve would like some time to interview you on-stage, sitting on couches, about your new Traffic Secrets book... releasing a few months before or after OfferMind... Feel free to pitch him!
\xa0
Already, as one of your top product affiliates, Steve will drive heavy traffic to your new book using that interview you do with him onstage.
\xa0
At the end, the crowd will go nuts and cheer you offstage. Steve will take a few open questions as you leave through our secret backstage door to avoid swarming.
\xa0
(I know he's concerned about that, so I'm gonna put that in)
\xa0
Woo! I don't know about you, but this is getting pretty amazing, right? By now you're starting to see how insane this all will be, right? Luckily, Steve is a safe bet too\u2026
\xa0
- Imagine yourself speaking on his stage.
\xa0
- Think of how epic the ads will look to have a sweet stage interview promoting your NEW Traffic Secrets Book.
\xa0
As a busy CEO, you're probably saying inside\u2026
\xa0
(Here comes the external-based concern)
\xa0
... \u201cI might not have the time or mental bandwidth to add another thing in my life.\u201d Right? So here's the fifth thing in the offer.
\xa0
#5: You're gonna get your choice of the actual event date to fit your schedule.
\xa0
(Oh! There's the one-two punch, right!)
\xa0
Q: What's the biggest reason someone would probably NOT be able to come speak or keynote when they want to?
\xa0
A: Scheduling! So what if I just let him choose the schedule?
Steve isn't here to add stress and understands firsthand what you do and the speed of your office. He doesn't expect you to stay the whole time or try to sprint from one thing to the next just to squeeze in a stressful pitch or speech.
\xa0
Keep it all simple by telling him what day works for you, he'll plan the event date around you.
\xa0
Oh, and don't worry about travel either, a limo will pick you up from ClickFunnels headquarters and take you to the event room where you'll be greeted by Steve and taken to your private room.
\xa0
Pr\xfcvit Ketones, (which he loves, I love, I drink every day) Bullet Bars, Quest Bars, Hydrogen water will be chilled and waiting for you in a private retreat and recharge room.
\xa0
Bring anyone you like with you, and the limo will take you back when you're ready.
\xa0
*Now I know that he doesn't wanna even think about travel. So I'm gonna take care of that. Even though it's local, I'm gonna send a limo to pick him up \u2018cause he's the man.
\xa0
Dang, this sounds super awesome, right? This sounds like a no-brainer! What will everyone think when the limo arrives to pick you up? Imagine their faces.
\xa0
Imagine stickin' it to that daycare next door; can't tell you where to park, right?
\xa0
(There's a daycare right next to ClickFunnels that's a little bit moody about where you park. So I threw in a little humor here)
\xa0
This will be one of the easiest and coolest speaking experiences you've ever had.
\xa0
HE SAID, YES!
\xa0
I want you to see like what lengths I went to to make this happen:
\xa0
- I bought sushi for the whole office. I didn't say why I just arranged it and got it there.
\xa0
- We called his favorite massage places to figure out where he got his last massage last because I knew he liked it. \xa0We had to go hunting to figure out who that was so we could get it book it again.
\xa0
Then in the office, on-camera, in front of a bunch of people, I read this script to him:
\xa0
Just to recap, here's what you're gonna get when you agree to keynote at OfferMind 2019:
\xa0
- You're gonna be the featured keynote speaker.
\xa0
- You get more paid traffic to your One Funnel Away Challenges throughout the entire year.
\xa0
- You get a high-end stage and event designers with media coverage that's amazing.
\xa0
- Topic and length autonomy.
\xa0
- Your choice of the actual event date to fit your schedule.
\xa0
Dang! That's a really good deal, but wait, there's MORE... on top of everything above... if you confirm with Stephen soon, (so he can start preparations), you'll also get:
\xa0
- Your own speaker highlight video created at Steve's expense and given to your two video guys for any B-roll they'd like to use.
\xa0
- You're gonna get a copy of your Traffic Secrets book interview that you do with Steve onstage for more B-roll epicness.
\xa0
- I'm gonna give you a couples massage by your favorite masseuse, (gift certificates already attached).
\xa0
- Sushi, from your favorite local restaurant which will already be in the kitchen today at noon.
\xa0
- Professional recordings of Steve screaming, \u201cIt's Monday, baby! It's Tuesday, baby!\u201d \u2026 and so forth, so you can use them for all those ideas you keep bringing up. (Yeah his voice has that weird ability.)
\xa0
Man my face is starting to melt. This offer is too cool, OfferMind must teach really cool offer creation methods. I just wish Steve let this offer last forever.
\xa0
The total value of this offer is incalculable. It's too awesome, but unfortunately, it can't last long due to overexposure of pure awesomeness.
\xa0
So, to take advantage of the positive effects this offer will have on your:
\xa0
- Offer
\xa0
- Mission
\xa0
- Bottom line
\xa0
\u2026.just open up your phone right now and Vox Steve the phrase, \u201cOn like Donkey Kong.\u201d
\xa0
Again, that's, \u201cOn like Donkey Kong\u201d to get started now.
Luckily for you, we've recently started accepting talking or typing options on Voxer.
Now, Steve had two options when he made this offer \u2026
\xa0
(I went and I grabbed a lot of the closes he likes to use in webinars)
\xa0
The first was to go as weak sauce as possible, be a little pansy, be a little Sally, and approach you with the question, \u201cWill you speak at my event?\u201d in a stupid dumb voice with no value added back to you.
\xa0
But that wouldn't really incentivize you to agree to this\u2026
\xa0
... and Steve's beard would shrink two sizes too small.
\xa0
The second option was to make it as cool and memorable as he could be dumping all profits from his One Funnel Away affiliate earnings into a sick, awesome, kick sissies in the teeth event where you can nerd out to whatever level you want.
\xa0
Now let me ask you a question:
\xa0
- If all this did was let you get in front of a group of people of your hyper-followers already in your community, would it be worth it? Of course, right?
\xa0
- If all this did was let you test your material and thoughts before you test them on your own platforms, would that be worth it? Yeah!
\xa0
- And like I said, you'd be getting tons of creative assets at Steve's expense just for showing up.
\xa0
- If all this did was give you another chance to promote your new awesome book, build pressure for the launch, and push more people to ClickFunnels, would it be worth it? Absolutely, right?
\xa0
Steve knows you\u2026
\xa0
He knows you're gonna spend hours behind your computer promoting your new book when it launches...
\xa0
Why not spend some of that time in an awesome, local, professional location with a swarm of people who already know, love and buy from you?
\xa0
Again, get started on this risk-free offer now, simply open up your phone and Vox Steve the phrase, \u201cOn like Donkey Kong.\u201d Again, that's. \u201cOn like Donkey Kong.\u201d
\xa0
(He has a shirt that says that and he loves it. He says that phrase a lot.)
\xa0
To make it even easier, Steve has already Voxed you this phrase. You don't even need to type it, just forward it back to him.
\xa0
Remember, this offer won't last forever!
\xa0
Just think, what's one extra Traffics Secrets book buyer worth to you? $7.95, $9.95, or even $50,000 each and every year.
What would that do for you and your family?
\xa0
Imagine getting that new BioHacking test, or even a second Cryosauna, which you can shove Steve in again.
\xa0
( There are a few inside jokes\u2026 I'm gonna skip some bits here)
\xa0
Remember, this isn't a cost, it's an investment!
\xa0
Just open up your phone right now and Vox Steve the phrase, \u201cOn like Donkey Kong,\u201d to get started.
\xa0
Agents are standing by for your Vox.
\xa0
Again, to keynote at OfferMind, simply pick up your phone right now and look at it, let it recognize your face, look at it, open up the Voxer, and tell Steve, \u201cOn like Donkey Kong,\u201d (talk or type accepted) and Steve will handle the rest.
\xa0
Remember, you're just one Vox away.
THE DREAM 100
\xa0
On my Dream 100 speaker list, along with Russell Brunson, I have:
\xa0
- Mark Joyner, \xa0he created a book called The Irresistible Offer many years ago.
\xa0
- Dean Holland
\xa0
- Todd Brown
\xa0
- Jay Abraham
\xa0
- Dana Derricks
\xa0
These are all some of the best *living* offer creators. I don't know anyone beyond that list, that's really it\u2026
\xa0
I\u2019ll reach out to Dean Holland and Dana Derricks because they\u2019re on the same level of influence as me, so that's an okay thing to do. I'm sure that they'll say \u201cYes,\u201d hopefully so.
\xa0
If NOT they're gonna get tagged inside this episode for Sales Funnel Radio, and I'll ask them that way as well.
\xa0
But Russell gets approached like crazy by tons of people. So he's got walls and barriers just to keep his own sanity. We can all understand that, right?
\xa0
So to approach influencers who are above your status, you\u2019ve gotta go all out...
\xa0
I got a pretty awesome Dream 100 package in the mail.
\xa0
I was handed an envelope and inside, somebody (this is actually very clever), had attached an actual hundred dollar bill.
\xa0
They attached a hundred dollar bill and said, \u201cWe know your goal was to always do 10 grand a day, so a hundred dollars should buy 14 minutes of your time. Please read the letter and see if you would like to spend the time.\u201d
\xa0
That\u2019s super cool!
\xa0
STATUS DECREASE
\xa0
One of the principles of the Dream 100 is that:
\xa0
If what I'm offering presents a risk of a status decrease, the answer will be, NO!
\xa0
This is more important than whether or not the event fits into their schedule.
\xa0
So I'm crafting an offer with stories and I'm listing out his false beliefs.
\xa0
If it's gonna decrease his status, or if there's any risk that it will, he's already gonna say, NO.
\xa0
So I need to show ways to increase his status while protecting it from decrease at the same time.
\xa0
Does that make sense?
\xa0
I\u2019m gonna answer the objection of, \u201cOh crap, will this decrease my status?\u201d I'm gonna say, \u201cNo, in fact, here's how it will increase your status.\u201d
\xa0
So one of the BEST things you can do when approaching a Dream 100 influencer is to know what campaigns they\u2019re running.
\xa0
I need to know what campaigns an individual is already running that I could piggyback off to increase their status?
\xa0
The internal hang-up definitely is NOT, \u201cI'm not good enough, I'm not smart enough.\u201d Instead, for Russell, it would probably be, \u201cWhat do you want me to teach?\u201d
\xa0
For him, it's not so much about money obviously... he's probably gonna have a time-based concern 'cause he's Russell Brunson. He's also gonna have a mental shelf space concern.
\xa0
It's NOT, I don't have enough to teach, it's, \u201cOh my gosh, I have to spend time planning what I'll teach.\u201d That's a real concern. That's a BIG issue.
\xa0
I solve each one of these pain points inside of the offer.
\xa0
Q: Where am I fishing out of right now? Where's my market?
\xa0
A: ClickFunnels.
\xa0
Q: What's the new opportunity?
\xa0
A: OfferMind.
\xa0
There are parts of the offer designed to scratch, soothe and satiate all the concerns that come from the vehicle, internal, external-based objections...
\xa0
And then, there are a few pieces that are just awesome and straight from me.
X-A-V-I-E-R
\xa0
Here's the XAVIER model for drafting offers created by yours truly, and highly featured in my book coming out soon called Your Core Offer.
\xa0
Go to YourCoreOffer.com if you wanna get on the waiting list.
\xa0
- X = what you want to sell.
\xa0
- A = what they want to buy.
\xa0
These are NOT ALWAYS the same thing.
\xa0
When you sell something to somebody, they don't ALWAYS want what you want to sell.
\xa0
For Example:
\xa0
Russell wants to sell Funnel Hacks web class. When he sells Funnel Hacks web class you pre-buy ClickFunnels for six months with a whole bunch of programs.
\xa0
The A: the anchor of the offer, is ClickFunnels itself. People just want ClickFunnels; so that's a prime example of what I'm talking about there.
\xa0
Now, back to my offer to Russell\u2026
\xa0
So X - equals:
\xa0
Russell what you're gonna get when you come speak at OfferMind 2019, the first thing you're gonna be the only keynote speaker at OfferMind. I'm gonna put ads with a lot of ad money behind it, content, fans, all promoting your appearance and your name.
\xa0
*One of the things I'm gonna give him is status. That's one of the ways I'm fighting the status decrease thing, but it's not the exclusive place that I'm fighting it yet.
\xa0
A - equals:
\xa0
Each One Funnel Away Challenge buyer in 2019 who buys through Steve's affiliate link will get credit to OfferMind for further ClickFunnels indoctrination from you and Steve.
\xa0
That's HUGE! What did I just do?
\xa0
\u2018A\u2019 is the anchor of the offer, it is the part of the offer that\u2019s the sexiest. The thing that the other person wants the most.
\xa0
I know Russell is spending a ton of time, money, effort, energy, and resources on this One Funnel Away Challenge.
\xa0
He's re-launching it, and it's gonna be massive. He's gonna push hard to get a ton MORE people in One Funnel Away Challenge than are probably in ClickFunnels right now.
So the question is: What could I do to best support that?
\xa0
What if I attached my OfferMind tickets to that again to fill the events, promote him, promote ClickFunnels and align myself with what he's trying to do.
\xa0
That's a no-brainer because now the offer\u2019s NOT about me.
\xa0
DON\u2019T PITCH AN IDEA LIKE THIS
\xa0
I hate it when somebody walks up, and they're like, \u201cStephen, I'm so excited man, why don't you come get on my show because you\u2019d be great and you\u2019d bring tons of people to my show.\u201d
\xa0
...I'm like, \u201cWow, okay, what\u2019s in this for me? This is a two-way relationship, you're just goin' one way though. That\u2019s hurting our relationship by you approaching me like that.\u201d
\xa0
STUPID! STUPID! It's D-U-M-B!
\xa0
You\u2019re gonna trigger:
\xa0
- Fear of status decrease, \u201cWhy on Earth is this for me?\u201d \xa0
\xa0
- Rejection...
\xa0
- Objection...
\xa0
Tons of stuff \xa0like:
\xa0
- \u201cOh, my gosh, NO. I don't have time for that.\u201d
\xa0
- \u201cWhat would you want me to teach? Nah!\u201d *status decrease*
\xa0
- \u201cThere's no way that vehicle aligns with where I'm moving.
\xa0
This is key; when I\u2019m dropping something out to a Dream 100 influencer...
\xa0
I'm aligning with their current mission... so part of their offer is also part of my offer.
\xa0
Dana Derricks just did this to me, and it's one of the reasons why he's speaking at OfferMind.
\xa0
ALIGN
\xa0
I was on Voxer with Dana, and he goes, \u201cDude, I would love to pre-buy some OfferMind tickets next year to give away because I want my people to go through some of your stuff.\u201d
\xa0
I was like, \u201cSick, super cool. Yeah, that'd be awesome.\u201d
\xa0
What did he do?
\xa0
He said, \u201cLet me give your tickets away as part of my offer.\u201d
\xa0
Russell Brunson did the exact same thing with Grant Cardone for his 10X Event.
\xa0
He went to Grant Cardone pre-bought a thousand of your tickets to give away as part of his current offers.
\xa0
What does that do?
\xa0
It spikes the value, someone else fulfills on it, aligns the two offers together.
\xa0
That's part of the \u201cA\u201d in anchor for XAVIER. Does that make sense, you guys gettin' this?
I'm NOT trial closing... Does that really make sense? This is HUGE. This is a BIG BIG deal right here.
\xa0
In my pitch, it went like this:
\xa0
Each One Funnel Away Challenge buyer in 2019 who buys through Steve's affiliate link will get credit to OfferMind for further ClickFunnels indoctrination from you and Steve\u2026
\xa0
Meaning: I am going to go and push One Funnel Away Challenge really really hard.
When people buy the One Funnel Away Challenge through me, I'm gonna give them credit to get an OfferMind ticket where you can speak to more of your people and continue to get them inside ClickFunnels.
\xa0
That's HUGE! \xa0It aligns both me and Russell.
\xa0
VEHICLE OBJECTION?
\xa0
Q: What's the vehicle-based fear here?
\xa0
A: Probably status decrease: \u201cIs this good enough?\u201d That could be the potential major concern about speaking at OfferMind. \u201cIs he big enough?\u201d
\xa0
Russell would never boastingly say that, but you get what I'm saying\u2026 He\u2019s Russell Brunson, right!
\xa0
I'm like, \u201cOh don't worry about it...
\xa0
To protect your status I want you to know that we hire the exact same A/V team that designed your Funnel Hacking Live stages, and they're gonna put on the OfferMind stage. The stage caliber will match your caliber.\u201d
\xa0
One of the most frustrating things I've ever experienced ever is to show up to an event that I've been invited to speak at, and you can tell that there wasn't much thought put into the experience in the room.
\xa0
That's why OfferMind costs me so much money... and it did it cost me a lot of money. I actually went in the hole just a little bit... because I wanted to create an experience.
\xa0
You can find out MORE about how I created OfferMind and made it an experience here. I specifically made it so it felt like you were entering a new environment... (which is so freaking key, it is ridiculous!)
\xa0
I'm letting Russell know:
\xa0
We have all the old OfferMind recordings. This is what it looked like last time. It was very professional. It was amazing; very top-notch and high caliber... it\u2019ll be the same kind of thing.
\xa0
Rest assured, it's the same people you're used to working with, so there won't be any new faces when you're getting mic'd up. There won't be any new experiences.\u201d
\xa0
Does that make sense?
\xa0
INTERNAL OBJECTIONS
This is how I'm combating the internal hangup, \u201cWhat would you want me to teach?\u201d
\xa0
I see it\u2019ll be cool, but\u2026
\xa0
- How will I?
\xa0
- How can I?
\xa0
- Do I?
\xa0
- Will I?
\xa0
- Do I know enough?
\xa0
- I don't know what to talk about?\u201d
\xa0
It\u2019s ALL the \u2018I\u2019s\u2019...
I know one of your strategies, Russell, is to go in and test your material on smaller crowds before you go to your major one. Feel free to do that at OfferMind.
\xa0
Let your noggin have the playground and the fun crazy zone that you wanna go to, and test your material on my audience.
\xa0
Does that make sense? \xa0I just solved that internal objection for him.
\xa0
EXTERNAL OBJECTIONS
\xa0
How will I solve the objection: \u201cI don't have time to speak at your OfferMind, but I want to...\u201d
\xa0
- I believe it's a good vehicle.
\xa0
- I believe I could pull off.
\xa0
BUT I DON\u2019T have time/ money/ resources #externalbasedobjection
\xa0
Don't worry about it, man. You will choose the actual date of the event so that we can make sure you can get there.
\xa0
We know what date it's gonna be, but if it came down to Russell NOT being able to speak, and us just choosing a different date that's a few weeks difference\u2026
\xa0
We will Change the Freakin' Date.
\xa0
That's a SICK OFFER!
\xa0
From his perspective, it\u2019s like, \u201cOh man, he's gonna change his whole event!\u201d
\xa0
Well, yeah, we're talking seven months in the future, so, yeah, we'll definitely change the date if we need to.
\xa0
That's a BIG offer right there.
\xa0
I've been asked to speak in several locations in the past little bit including Australia and Greece...
It's not that I don't want to, it's a date issue\u2026
\xa0
So if Russell has control over the time and date, and it came down to it and I'm like, \u201cDude, what day? Say it, just, and we'll do it.\u201d He's like, \u201cYou know what, I could come to downtown Boise, so I don't need to travel anywhere.\u201d
\xa0
I'm making it EASY.
\xa0
A limo will pick you up from CF headquarters and take you to the event.
\xa0
And he can talk as long as he wants to. Does that make sense? Like, this just got sexy, man.
\xa0
He doesn't need to worry about travel, it's close to him, it's right there, it's downtown Boise at a SICK venue.
THE CTA
\xa0
Reason to Act Now... (this is what he told me he would like to have)
\xa0
- A couples massage: he wants a massage from his favorite masseuse. We already set it up.
\xa0
- Sushi from his favorite sushi place.
\xa0
I mean that's a sexy offer... \xa0it's NOT just, \u201cDude, come speak at my event so that I can fill it with people who are interested to see you.\u201d
\xa0
Some more things I'm gonna add inside this offer are:
\xa0
\xa0
- We\u2019ll send you the professional recordings.
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
- We\u2019re gonna have professional photographers there to take pictures.
\xa0
\xa0
\xa0
- His own private room where he can go and just kick back, and there are snacks and drinks in there.
\xa0
\xa0
I know you're always looking for new material. You can have the recordings. You can have the pictures... very very high-end stuff so that you can look like a rockstar on my stage.
\xa0
That\u2019s what would motivate a Russell Brunson-esque figure.
\xa0
So what I'm trying to help you guys understand is like, when you're doing offers, and especially when it comes to Dream 100\u2026
\xa0
Offer creation for Dream 100 is NOT the same thing as offer creation for customers. It\u2019s NOT the same thing as offer creation for affiliates. It\u2019s NOT the same thing for offer creation for front-end product. It's all different. You gotta understand exactly WHO you're speaking to.
THIS DIDN\u2019T HAPPEN\u2026
\xa0
The last thing I tried to do was find a local actor to play Claude Hopkins, \xa0tell a fast origin story, and hand him a piece of paper with the offer and the call to action.
\xa0
Claude Hopkins was one of the original offer creators.
\xa0
You probably know about Claude Hopkins if you've been following me.
\xa0
Claude Hopkin was the first guy to put an ad on a car.
\xa0
He actually popularized the concept of brushing teeth so that they could sell toothpaste!
\xa0
Seriously, brilliant, brilliant man; late 1800s.
\xa0
Anyway, I wanted some dude to gonna dress up like Claude Hopkins and walk up and say:
\xa0
\u201cWhat's up? My name's Claude Hopkins, I was one of the first offer creators in America: Hey that Steve Larsen, you should really go talk to him about his event.\u201d
\xa0
...and then hand off the offer, the gift certificate for the massage... \xa0the sushi already on the table.
\xa0
It's Pretty Sexy\u2026 but unfortunately, the Claude Hopkins bit didn\u2019t happen.
\xa0
PLAYING FULL OUT
\xa0
I wanted to go full out because I knew that if Russell said, \u201cYes!\u201d Then it would be a lot easier for us to get two or three other really high-end people to speak at OfferMind.
\xa0
It was definitely worth crafting a campaign for.
\xa0
I want to be able to bring in some of the best to OFFERMIND, and Russell obviously is THE BEST!
\xa0
Remember I talked about how important it is to follow the framework master, and Russell is that guy! Why would I bring in anybody else?!
\xa0
So that why I went to soooo much effort crafting this offer for Russell to keynote.
\xa0
It's was an offer NOT a request.
\xa0
It's WASN\u2019T, \xa0\u201cCome look at me\u2026\u201d
\xa0
I'm not gonna EVER do that. That's the fastest way for you to put a bad taste in their mouth when you're talking to a BIG influencer... even if we're friends.
\xa0
In any influencer scenario, you got ONE SHOT to set up the way they're gonna look at you FOREVER. It really does matter!
\xa0
So, when I talk to the other offer creation rock stars I want to bring to you, I will craft a custom campaign for each individual.
\xa0
Campaigns are a dying art (It\u2019s NOT the same thing as a Facebook ad).
I will craft a campaign, NOT just an offer, NOT just a sales message, and reach out to each individual to try and get them to come to speak at OfferMind.
BOOM!
\xa0
If you're just starting out you're probably studying a lot. That's good. You're probably geeking out on all the strategies, right? That's also good.
\xa0
But the hardest part is figuring out what the market wants to buy and how you should sell it to them, right?
\xa0
That's what I struggled with for a while until I learned the formula.
\xa0
So I created a special Mastermind called an OfferMind to get you on track with the right offer, and more importantly the right sales script to get it off the ground and sell it.
