Your GRADUATION Story
"I was having the problem to sell and get clients, I wasn’t sure what to reach out t the right people and engage them with the right message. I joined EPM and learned to step out my shadow and ask for feedback to better serve my audience. I sent out emails and posted in FB groups and I got tons of No's and useful but very opposite feedback, varying from great, clear, compelling to ""I don't get it"", but at least people say it's getting better.

Pivoting based on their feedback also resulted in changing focus, hoping to make sales faster.
But no matter what I tried, the results are far from perfect: zero sales.
My feelings are very mixed as I can't afford this investment without earning it back.., another one in a long series of investments without ROI:-(

Yes I'm getting closer to what they do want.
I just don't succeed in translating the research findings, feedback and their pain points into solutions they are willing to pay for.

I will go back to the EPM 2023 Personal Milestone Doc (Will I keep access after tomorrow?) and start from the basics again.

Disappointed... but not sure in which way. I've given it my best.
I feel defeated and exhausted right now... but won't give up.

reaching out, asking for feedback and pivoting based on that no sure yet keep testing and pivoting

"I need a bit of time and distance first. I had promised myself a different outcome.
I guess, based on the results, that I still struggle with turning pain points into great solutions and irresistible offers:-( "
