"I got my first sale hitting my minimum goal ???? One more week and two more sales, hitting my target goal ???? and then confirmation of four more, barely going over my stretch target of $10k. ????"It all started with a dream of creating an online training program based on my recently launched book. As I had no idea how to do it, I searched for some leads and almost immediately hit the jackpot: I found Marissa! I watched one of her presentations and decided to try EPM. Quickly, I understood the concept of starting with a “paper plane” and not the “supersonic” I had in mind. So I decided on a narrow focus and created an MVP to fast-track the career of professionals working in mid/large size corporations. It has been an incredible journey; the quality of the material, the build-up of concepts on small bite sizes, and the idea of an “experience product” are just perfect. Although I still have to become more effective in marketing and sales, I was able to have my first sale this week by following the techniques presented in EPM and I still have two other people confirming that their employers would sponsor them. A fantastic result for someone that three months ago had no clue what and how to create even a small product. EPM has been a memorable experience for me. Thanks, Marissa and coach Paul, I could not have done without you!
There is no better feeling than continuously achieving our goals in life! Those twelve weeks were more intense than I expected but proved to be just the right speed to keep us all moving toward the finish line. Congratulations for providing us with a perfectly orchestrated experience; the first time I´ve seen this level of organization, quality, support, and genius. ? Looking back, I realized that I should have talked and listened to “potential clients” and my “hot list” much earlier on, as it does take time to “take off” and get results. I achieved my first sales earlier this month and another two this week, achieving my target goal! I still have a few others pending. It does not matter how many significant goals you have achieved; each new one, even if a small one, brings satisfaction and reassurance that We Can Do It! Thank you, Marisa, for masterminding this fantastic experience, and all of you in the EPM team for making all of us look good and winners! See you in Momentum….???? Roberto
As I mentioned in my previous update, there is no better feeling than achieving each of our goals in life. May it be a small goal, or a big dream. Even more rewarding is the journey to get to our goal, not only the endpoint, the realization. And EPM was no different. It was new to me. I have never launched a product before, so it was a path full of discoveries, uncertainties, and realizations. The EPM process is impeccable, with the ideal amount of information and work in each step, that we do not even realize the complexity of what we are doing. It seems to be easy. Almost at the end, I hit my blind spot! How to sell the product! I was expecting a “magic” formula, but it was not provided, instead, I was faced with the chatterbox, and Facebook and they were not aligned with my expectations. I was not successful in starting conversations in groups. So decided to focus on where I thought the “low hanging fruits” were, and started heavy traffic of emails to people that I know asking them if they knew anyone that needed my product. It worked, I got my first sale hitting my minimum goal ???? One more week and two more sales, hitting my target goal ???? and then confirmation of four more, barely going over my stretch target of $10k. ???? It is “interesting” that we generally achieve what we expected. That's why it is important to be careful and not establish “small” goals as they do limit how much we can do. I established $10k as a stretch and got $10,479. Probably if I had established $20k I could be close to that. It is all in our minds! I do realize that I should have started my marketing way before the product was fully defined, and gained valuable time on reaching my network. It would also have allowed me to explore other options for marketing and sales. I ended up not doing many of the Supercharge lessons, as I needed to dedicate the time to sales first. Next couple of months I will test the other options. I have a lot to learn. Thanks for giving me the privilege of being a part of this fantastic journey, with an outstanding EPM team and coach (Paul), and be able to have my “memorable moment” celebrating mission accomplished. See you all in Momentum!
